Looks really nice!!

I prefer the small logo Plexi's and JMP's though....

Very cool looking amp, but I personally think Randy's tone was cr@p. Love his playing. Hate his tone.

I think for the same money (or less) would rather get a Splawn Quick Rod that looked just like that cosmetically.

The back panel looks a bit off, looks a tad too modern maybe.
other than that it looks quite striking. Can't say I like his live sound that much really neither though :(

Cool amp, but Marshall should sack whoever writes their advertising blurbs.

Quite apart from the grammatical and spelling mistakes, they really should have looked in a dictionary before describing the amp as "infamous". :roll:

Sorry. Being pedantic. Bad mood.

good point, I hadn't noticed that, and I guess nobody else did?
bad mood or not, you're quick to notice!

(quickly proof read my post :) )

there are also some new JVM models with combinations of 2 channels, 50watts/100watts, heads/combos

My mate was wanting one BAD when he saw them announced by Marshall yesterday until I pointed out that he could get a JCM800 1959 head for a fraction of the price that would be much better built and sound like the real deal.

I'm thinking that the cascaded gain stages will be some kind of variation on a 2203. Will know for sure once I hear one.

btw, cacaded gainstages are generally hooked up with a cap tapped off the anode and fed into the next triode's grid (in very simple terms).

if you hooked up the anodes and cathodes, you'll be parallelling the stages which gives slightly more gain, but nowhere near as much as cascading (i.e. stages in series)

I'd rather put my c--k into a blender than touch a splawn again.
Old Marshalls all the way.. only way to go.

I like the idea of this amp but im sure it's not going to sound as great as the original.

That#s the typical outcome when
a. The product manager, who by nature is not full of editorial skill, writes the copy or
b. An agency writes the copy but the product manager edits it
c. An editor writes it but hasn't received a proper brief or doesn't understand the product

To me this looks like a)

Sounds great to me. I'm not a RR fan, but I could work with this amp (if I could tame 100W anyway !).
In that video it's surprising that the amp doesn't seem to be producing that much volume. I suspect they've got the amp pretty much dimed, as there's a lot of distortion and it's a NMV amp, but they are standing right in front of the cabs in an enclosed space.
You can't see, but I strongly suspect that an attenuator must be in use behind the stack - still sounds great though.
