Re: Other "Marshalls"
you can get suprisingly close with peavey xxx's & jsx's
set the damping on loose & have fun
whats weird is you can get closer with the XXX (imo) and it has 6l6's

As long as you buy an amp with EL-34's, it's going to have the Marshall flavor.
That new blue Traynor or Carvin Legacy might be an inexpensive alternative.

Re: Other "Marshalls"
Barring the Fargen, none of the above mentioned IMO/IME get a Marshall "plexi" type sound..."plexi" being the key word. All can do Marshall-esque tones however...throw in Rivera, Bogner, and a host of other "boutique" amp companies as well.
Don't forget Voodoo for a "true" plexi type sound (V-plex)

Re: Other "Marshalls"
This really should be 2 different things...amps that are kind of like a Plexi and amps that are Plexi clones...
CLONES
-VooDoo V-Plex
-Roccaforte
-Splawn
-Blockhead
Not to mention the countless 18 watt clones that are out there now!
There are others but I can't think of them all right now. As for ampt that have a plexi vibe there arelots of them...my favorite is my Sound City, it has lots of that late 60's early 70's English tone, but I like it better that most Marshalls I have ever played! It has killer transformers (the heart and soul of a good tubeamp), it has a switchable gain structure (no early Marshall eve had this), and the tone controls actually work! (if you ever get to play through a real Plexi or even a reissue, you will notice that the tone control yeild vewry little change in the tone).

+1. My Epic 30 DC gives me the Marshall plexi tones when I need them. Super articulate and very dynamic. Pick light and it's clean, dig in and it gets that classic Marshall mid bite and crunch.
