Any 5150 III after the OG is overrated IMO. The OG 100 watt a great all around amp; the rest are just too gainy and compressed.
I believe Mike Soldano also had a new twist to his circuits - a very unique twist given the rest of the herd out there.I realize this is mostly venting, but I do have some thoughts on this. Lots of the move away from those amps was about getting more function than wanting a different sound. Lots of us love our old Marshalls, but a couple of channels would be nice, an effects loop, and maybe get those sounds on a stage smaller than Madison Square Garden. There are a lot of amps out there trying to just do that and it's been that way for 40+ years. None of them can do it all. They're all compromise, but it's understandable that someone's first question is whether it captures the sound, before delving into the functionality of the amp.
When I look around, about 90% of the high gain channel switchers out there are basically gained up and functioned up Marshall 2203's (not really "plexis" but still classic single channel Marshalls) and they sound like it. Boogies are the only amps I can think of that have had much impact that aren't essentially modified Marshalls.
Boogie circuits are by principle Fender based, as well as Dumble circuits, as well as Trainwreck circuits (Express & Liverpool, not the Rocket, who rather is VOX based).When I look around, about 90% of the high gain channel switchers out there are basically gained up and functioned up Marshall 2203's (not really "plexis" but still classic single channel Marshalls) and they sound like it.

Never received the money, Helmut.
Please email me a copy of the wire transfer, I need to know the account, date, etc as I gave you very specific bank account info to wire it to and my bank has no record of a wire transfer from you from March 2020 to the end of May 2020.
Helmut?My banks said I never received my refund from you Helmut, can you email me proof that you sent it?
Name of the bank and the date would be a good start.
Sincerely,
Customer non grata
It’s amazing to me and so stupid the way some guys form such strong opinions based on only clips (stronger opinions sometimes than I have on amps I own lol). I think part of it is that some amps that sound huge or punchy don’t often translate as much that way in clips like the coli’s, Beta, Blueface, etc. Comparison clips though (if done well) can be helpful, but just a clip of an amp by itself can be misleading and limited in giving an idea of what it really sounds likeI’ll just jump in to say that, if you’ve never played a certain amp but want to judge it by a clip, wrong answer. Clips will never ever show an amp that gets 70% of the experience from its power section. Like a Wizard, Coliseum, Superlead etc.
Those types of amps have to be experienced first hand in order to be judged, imo.
DSL50 is one of my favorite amps ever. Biased right, and good tubes, you're good to go!Doug Rappaport and Joe Bonamasa have both been seen playing DSL’s live.
The 2000 is a killer head.DSL50 is one of my favorite amps ever. Biased right, and good tubes, you're good to go!
I'm talking the old school JCM2000.
Helmut?Why not Hans? Or why not Gustav? I'm sure that you feel good yourself now
Sorry Dagobert, nice try again - but believe me I have more fulfilling hobbies than texting you, or playing ugly games with you
Or wasting my time trying to convince you of something you know yourself anyway
For you mentally disturbed asshole I won't even try my eyes or lift a finger - never again
There was a time in the past - before you ordered your DINO - you took up a total of at least 100 hours of my time for answering your countless crazy emails - so crazy sometimes, that sometimes I thought you maybe are a second Mike Fortin
I'm really fed up with you! From now on I will not sacrifice a single minute more of my life for you with your sick mind!
Piss off of my life you douchebag - forever!
These are my definitely last words addressed into your direction.
Take it with you - into your grave!
And now you can go and die, I don't mind - for me you already died two years ago anyway
Yours sincerely
The autocrat ~Helmut~
He’s had several come apart’s on here going way back.I wasn't going to go there but...
1.) Larry amps sound good no doubt (thanks mainly to DanT)
2.) I don't know novosibir (or Helmut) but he does always to seem to come unhinged at least here on Rig-Talk. If I were running a business I would never reply to someone on a public forum like that. Period. It just does not translate well or seem remotely professional - even if English is not your native language. Take the high road and let the other person know you will PM them to discuss. That's just me![]()
I like it when they fight. Its amusing to me as an unrelated, 3rd party, spectator. I cant wait to see what happens next!Good lord, take this shit offline or to the cops. For the sake of us all, stop polluting this thread
