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

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.

I know that one of them is going to be the signature model of Ed Kowalczyk, the guitarist and singer from the 90s band Live. Apparently the massive guitar tones on the album were Marshall’s modded by Ed. He modded his Marshall and his guitar players. All the stellar playing on the album was Ed and he took 90s rock to a whole new level. He also modded amps for weezer,no joke...how fuckin funny would it be if the line of modded products is:
Modded Marshall Amps...available in all flavors
1. "Cameron Mod"
2. "Friedman Mod"
3. "Wizard Mod"
lol because truth is stranger than fiction
Soundgarden, hootie, blink 182 and third eye blind. All epic tonez. Listen to the tone in I Alone, a true 90s banger! The guy was straight up, egregiously balding due to severe male pattern baldness so he just grew an epic tail that he dared braid, coming out the back of his head! Mind blowing! When I see him and hear his tones, I think to myself, “damn, THIS IS THE GUY! This is who I want modding my amp,” and apparently Marshall saw that he harnesses golden ears and knows tonez.
Look!!! Just look at him! Guy delves deep into the realm of the stage 10 master!

Not only is Marshall at least 10 years too late with this, but they manage to fuck it up by releasing a signature amp for some no name retard that was last known in the 90s.
Who the hell runs these companies nowadays?

This is what happens when young, clueless interns are tasked with researching “that famous guitarist named Ed something or other with a strongly European sounding last name” for their bosses at Marshall.

Lol that is what I was going to say. These companies release shit way too late. Kramer recently released the Snake Sabo Signature guitar. Walk up to anyone under age 50 and ask them who Snake Sabo is. Guaranteed they will think it is a character from Game of Thrones....

It has to be because just like @Bloodrock said, they're run by stock analysts larping as rockstars @ TGP.

A 2203 with a built-in SD-1 would be the best sounding amp they could make.

please tell me that's a joke. I gave my future wife and mother of my children that CD for Christmas one year, and almost broke up. Fu Live.
