That's one thick, mean, nasty bitch (but enough about my ex-wife

amp holds up well on the low end for sure

it is the silent gem on these marshalls if you dial them in right

thanks for posting :cheers:
 
That sounds amazing! Love the red tolex as well! Nicely done!
 
Mark always tweaks stuff to the amp and customer , but there are some things that of course identify it to be an aldrich. 4 gain stages , all tube , plate fed eq setup , tweaked negative feedback / resonance stuff , no zener or clipping transistors in the circuit. It's kinda like a boogie mark series, bogner, and a marshall had a really evil baby.

The mod that is in this particular amp was a circuit I made a copy of from a very very good sounding cameron aldrich amp I had. It was the best sounding one I ever heard, the thing was just straight up nasty. There is a pretty long story behind this particular amp as well.

Mark had it for like 4 or 5 years and Josh (jcj) did me a huge solid and went to marks and rescued it for me. Mark had started the mod, but never finished it. I gutted the mod and did it myself once I got it back. Mind you , I got it back with no tubes , no pots, no back panel , and a total disaster.

It was one of the first ones I did , it has a mercury output tranny and it Def sounded awesome!

Glad you got it back.
