Re: What's better than a Plexi or Jubilee?
I use a 2203 with a RAT and it is AMAZING!!!!!
Oh, I have yet to hear a Splawn in person
I LOVE MOJAVE's but they are one trick, no channel switching - so I just bought the real Marshall. with a Hot Plate and a pedal I think my 73 sounds meaner than the new HW's (but I think the HW are really sweet. I used one with a hot plate and OCD)
HMMM I tried the Stilettos in the Mesa Store - and I just wasn't moved. I actually found them too grainy - no I was not cranked. I preferred the Dual Rec to the Stilettos.
Best Marshall Knockoff I ever used was the ROCCAFORTE 100w thru a 2x12 - BEEEASSSSSST!
I still think I am in Bogner Shiva lust though. I think that is the most toneful amp I have ever heard and I LOVE the clean channel. My complaints - it has no way to make the clean channel break up, and I wish it had a volume boost or second master on it. Oh, and sometimes I wish it had more gain - pedals just didn't do it for me. I hear they do a gain boost mod at Bogner's factory here in the valley. hmmmmmm.
So far the Ecstasy and my Framus Dragon give me the best of the Marshall tone with extreme gain that is in the Marshall vein as opposed to pure metal. Sadly, the Bogners are too pricey and rarely even go under 2300 used.
