Not your level of high though - think Hot Rod Marshall  ;)

the Orion or the Electra?

Electra.

Although my Orion is being modded to something similar once Martin has finalised the spec...

The Electra High Gain has more gain than a typical hot-rodded Marshall.

What sort of specs and tonal ballpark (most similar amps) are we talking about here?

Count me in for this guys, I too can never make the southern ones and my sister lives in hull so its a shorter drive that way too.....

I can bring my Powerball, one of the Tremonti's, my miracle man loaded custom 22 and my nailbomb loaded Schecter. maybe my EC-1000 if I've not sold it by then...

But this high gain MJW sounds very intriguing.....

You're a Corby lad aren't you? We could share the journey, I'm in Kettering.

Yeah Sounds good, just depends whether my sister boyfriend wants to come (he plays guitar but ive not managed to get him over to BKP's yet).

Depending on timing, I would love to get to this one - be it Leeds or Manchester ; largely due to the 'cast list' of forum members - and the chance to try some nice MJW gear on clean ( -er than clean ).  I would only be carrying my much beloved 'pimped' Vintage archtop fitted with B.K.P. Manhathans , but perhaps I can warm up a couple of the amps for the rest of you - before any serious electron flow , and /or anything exciting starts happening.

I would not be bringing my 'Dream' Jazz rig with me  - but perhaps that's just as well, as I know solid state amps can induce nausea in true Rockers, AND I feel Martin's stuff should be fully explored and admired at this juncture. The occasional "Before and after" demo's would be quite surreal ;  with me playing a soft Jazz standard on the clean channel, before Mark, Dave , et all take the high gain channel to somewhere truly 'rude' ...  :lol:

I'm sure your mellow tones will be very cool Derek  8)

OK, we still need a Leeds local to co-ordinate this thing.  Any volunteers???

depending on the date (i.e. if I'm not gigging), I'd be up for Leeds.
