Marshall will launch a modded line of amps?

[shar-vell Dan]

My first Tube-Amp was a 100 Watt SLP-Clone. The first Amp i bought myself was a 1991 (or 92) SLP MK2 Reissue.I bought it in 1992. I used to use Channels 1+2 bridged with a Boss DS1 in Front of it. I also had a new 1991 Ibanez RG770 in red.

My first Marshall was a 1979 JMP MK II 2204 Master Lead i bought at my local shop for $375 90 days same as cash.

I bought a MINT 2205 in 1998 for $400. It was one of the later ones that had more gain. Amazing amp. It was bone stock, but sounded like what a lot of mods try to achieve. Had to sell it. I hope someone's taking good care of it.

I paid 1000 D-Mark for the new SLP in the Shop. Must have been around 3 to 400 Dollars back then.

Hah. Cool.

Peavey Valveking was my first tube amp. Coming from a Fender Frontman, it was quite the upgrade. But yes, it needed upgrades. I swapped out the tubes, did the FX loop patch trick and the dummy jack trick. Then, once I replaced the stock 'custom voice Valveking speaker' with an Eminence Man-O-War - I was in business. The amp went from this:

to this:

Edit. I also did the closed back mod

Damn for some reason I was hoping it would involve one or more members of 311 playing a Splawn even though I now understand the amp in the avatar is not a Splawn lol

This is whats left of Peavey.

I got a chuckle out of this thread. We love to bitch about companies like Marshall and Gibson for no innovating, but when they try something new, we bitch that they should stick to the tried-and-true designs.
