Well for those of us who are not that lucky will still get all the marshall tones, from hand build quality of Celtic Edana for much less what ever GC is gonna ask for those assembly line things that marshall offers today.My $499 2100 is all the Marshall I could have ever asked for. Marshall can raise them to whatever they want becasue I already have the Marshall/tones I need and have always wanted.

I dont know to me it sounded on the clips that it can do 80s stuff if you were to crank it up, no problem. You would need a JB or Invader or DD but it can happen totally, I mean its based on JTM45 so throw some JJ highgain ECC83Ss with some sort of superstrat with those pups in there send it to 4X12 with GT12-75s and I think you would be totally in that zone. Its definately on my list, I don't think I will buy an actual marshall ever again, they dont do things well anymore and there are so many good clones of the good old stuff that are a better bang for the back if you don't care for the re-sale value.Word. If Scott makes a Marshall kind of amp that I can plug in barefoot to and play 80's metal, I will buy one. IIRC, he does not have that yet???
JTM-45s - while great sounding blues rock amps, weren't really made for metal. When I think of them, the Beano album comes to mind. IIRC, wasn't Scott working on a very different style amp a few months ago (I thought it was something higher gain - could be wrong)?

Thanks for the heads up....no pun intended
And to think I paid $400 for my 2203 back in 1995.
