That definitely doesn't bode well haha

It does make it difficult for someone with a used amp to sell. They dropped “prices” significantly last year but have had zero product to sell here in the US. Which means a guy with a mint 2yr old amp has to take a bath for essentially no reason at all

The 800 modified has a mid shift, cathode resistor/cap switch (I think), and a tight switch (resistor). And it looks like it might be PCB built.

Most tight switches I see are done by reducing the coupling cap around the first stage. Marshall is using a resistor to ground for their tight switch? Any gut shots on the 800?

That's just a guess on my part. It could be a coupling cap switch. But it could also just be a resistor off the gain pot to ground, a'la the "feel" control in some hot-rodded amps. Either way, pretty simple. At least the 800 Modified has some better options than the 1959, IMO.

Honestly I thought it would have sounded far worse

I actually liked what I heard there. If anything I'd get that before one of the new modded Marshall's not that I'd need either
