From what I hear from other forums and reviews of the Juno, it seems to have sort of mixed reviews which kind of worries me. Most of the recording sound pretty good to me, but I'm thinking there are other amps out there to better cover the multi channel aggressive Marshall thing. I keep getting pulled back by all of the tone shaping options and responsive EQ.
I almost want to just pull the trigger on a Peters Fire Hammer, but I'm a bit worried about resale value and having to take a heavy loss if I don't like it. Also, yet another amp lacking in online content. People seem to love them on forums if they have played one though.
if there's anything gear forum related I know about, it's the "aggressive marshall thing" amp hunt. Many others here do, as well.
And in the end, when everyone gets done with their search, pretty much everyone ends up in a couple of different camps based on what sound they're going for, and their personal playing style.
Those camps seem to be:
1. Stock marshall+ the right pedal for your style
2. Modded Marshall ala Hermannsson/Monomyth/Morin/Langner/Cameron etc or even modding one yourself ala Dave or glp
3. Bogner, SLO, Larry, Wizard, Naylor, Steavens, etc depending on style and gain needs
If I were you, i'd save up a bit longer and just grab a wizard mtl, since that's what you said would be ideal. Or hunt down a used one.
What ends up happening 90% of the time, is that you end up losing a bunch of money flipping over and over searching for a slightly less expensive amp, that does what the expensive amp
you know you want does.
Now, it's possible a Juno or a Peters could be it for you, and you're part of the 10% - but there's endless stories of people going down this rabbit hole, and the numbers are the numbers man. Both are great amps, but quite a bit more modern.
Just my 2 cents.
