Play the SE and the PT side by side and I can guarantee you are coming home with the SE :rock:

PT was a fine amp but I always had to slice it down with either the Shiba or Koko Boost. The voicing for me ended up being a challenge.

If you think about it, Pete Thorn used that amp to tour with Chris Cornell for Soundgarden tunes. Very rich, big chords but I was trying to play Winger on it. Lol

Ironically, Reb uses the PT but also runs a Shiba in front of it.

Didn't know ten was using a shiva in front of the PT. I hear you on the PT vs SE end, I might very well find the SE to be better than the PT but that'll have to wait till Tuesday.

Now the other question is, does it really differ that much from the BE and the OB? I'll wait to hear your thoughts on that cause it sounds fairly similar to me on your clips.

The BE is not even in the same time zone as the OB or the SE in terms of sheer wall of sound gain. I feel the BE is more in line with the JVM and more standard Marshall stuff.

The OB and the SE are different. The OB lives closer to the core Marshall tone and has a sleaze factor that the SE does not have.

The SE is the Doug Aldrich tone that you can hear on the new Burning Rain CD. It also has extreme string articulation which is quote amazing to hear live in the room. If you don't like Doug Aldrich's tone then you won't like this amp.

To me the SE, sounds like a PT mod'ed to perfection with the ability to clean up.

Just gonna have to wait to try the SE out myself and see what I make of it. Thanks for comparison info!
 
Thanks for the videos!! Its great when someone posts a good video!

I really am intrigued by the SE-100. Owning a BE-100 yourself you say that you feel it does the classic Marshall tones like the JVM. I think the Brown Eye has nothing to do with a JVM. It does great plexi tones and 80's hard rock very well. It is not as saturated as the clips you put. Its really hard to get that tone out of the Friedman. The closest would be BE with SAT on and a Koko boost or similar...
 
I like that depth control clip. So how would rate all of your amps for what you like to play? Which one has the most liquid smooth feel?
 
All Your clips sound nice, but for the style you play in most clips nothing tops the old bitch, with the atomica in a close second. Those Cameron's still sound Marshall like but just hotrodded and still maintain that Marshall cut.
