One guy on here did mention something about Green Day signature amps. Maybe that could be it? They're known for having a particular mod. Either way a line of modded Marshall's by them could be very interesting to try and something they should've done over 30 years ago already lol
 
If they can actually scale some more popular mods (eg. Cameron) that'd actually be pretty cool.

I know us gear nerds have already devoured every YouTube clip and bought/sold every variation of every popular mod, but there's a huge market for people either unaware or unable to obtain these amps.

Shit, just having a reliable source of Cameron modded Marshalls alone would be awesome.
 
Any sort of variation on a Jose mod or whatever mod to get a higher gain hot rodded Marshall by them would be a cool addition. We basically now have just had reissues of the good amps they used to make and the JVM as the only real high gain amp and it's super synthetic sounding and just not great sounding, so this could fill a good niche for them to finally have a legit high gain amp, just a little late to the party lol

Wouldn't that be the same as Slash 2555 and the 800 KK and the YJM etc?

This doesn't make any sense to me. It is almost like poking fun of themselves. Like a cliché


And is that tape on there and what is it covering up? Jose? Santiago? Fluff? I mean, come on.

Not at all. The YJM from what I remember when trying it was basically a Marshall superlead with a built in gate and boost pedal. I haven't tried the KK, so maybe I'm wrong, but I thought it was also like just a jcm800 with a built in GEQ, gate and KT88's. The slash signature amp I tried just didn't sound good (thin and scrappy) and all these amps would need a boost unlike a proper good modded Marshall and none of these sound remotely like a Jose type mod or any popular Marshall mods that I've had by Cameron, Friedman, Gower, Monomyth, Langner, Bogner, etc. The assumption here is this would be their attempt at a proper modded Marshall like some of those I mentioned. I'm guessing they covered it up and will reveal the mod at NAMM. This actually would be a potentially exciting thing they stupidly haven't done this whole time and would be new ground for them. Not new ground to most other Marshall-esque amp brands lol

omg

Is fluff going to be Marshalls Dinesh?!!!

Fluff vs. Dinesh 2025....the clash of the titans?
 
They typically have a bad habit of over complicating amplifiers and creating their own problems (YJM is nuts complicated with auto bias, DSL bias drift issue, JVM effects loop reliability, etc.)

Fucking Gibson can’t even design a stable reissue and called it a feature.

I just don’t have a lot of faith they’ll do it right. I would love to stand corrected, but Bogner is the king of modded Marshall’s IMO.

Oh yeah, we're on the same page. I'm just saying "modded", a term used by the user base, is usually done by someone else. Yenko modifications on Camaros, for example. Seems very odd and cliche to me for them to put a Modded stamp plate on their headshells that's all.

If it is a Dookie mod, then just call it the Green Day signature amp or the BJA sig?

whatev's - it won't be cheap. I'm happy for all of you that are happy :yes:
