- 67 Dual Showman, modded by Dumble with Ultraphonix+Gain+Fat boy tremolo - It's the best JTM100, with the most clarity and note separation, harmonic content, sustain and dynamics I've ever heard. My all time fave.
-66 Bandmaster, modded by Dumble with Rockphonix+Gain - This one is more aggressive, like an early 70s 50w, and nails the live Jimmy Page tone on "The song remains the same" album. Same qualities as the Ultraphonix above, but a bit more aggressive and more miss, and almost same clarity, note separation, harmonics, sustain and dynamics.
-59 Bassman Ri, modded by Dumble with La Tostada circuit - With volume from 1-5 is tweed Bassman gain. From 5 to 8 is on JTM45 territory, and from 8 to 12 is so much gain that it gets almost lo-fi fuzzy, with without losing definition. Same massive low end as all the other Dumble amps, best clarity, harmonics, sustain and dynamics than anything else, other than Dumbles. Best sounding Bassman I've heard. And I've heard a lot of them.

Marshall SL, modded by Mark Cameron with Ocean mod - This is my favorite Cameron ever. It's bright, punchy, super dynamic, feels incredible playing, and can go from blues to Meshuggah without the need of a boost pedal. This is how I always dreamed of a Marshall sounding like. Clarity, punch, harmonics and a low end bigger than life, without losing it's classic overall tone.
-79 Marshall SB, modded by Hermansson with the 5 Gain Stage mod - This is one of the best surprises for the last few years. Henric managed two make an amp that can go from blues, to classic rock, hard rock, and to extreme metal without the need of anything pushing or EQing the front end of the amp. Henrics choice for components made this thing absurdly versatile, and pretty much unbeatable on the extreme metal territory. While the Cameron Ocean manages to maintain the Marshall DNA, even on its extreme settings, the Hermansson Marshall morphs into this almost sci-fi sounding doom machine, with incredible note clarity and a humongous and absurdly tight low end. Must be heard to be understood.
I'll have pics up soon.
