this makes me want to get some kind of 4 input marshall chassis and just butcher it.

lmao, like I would do that   :lol:

the  4 stage mode sounds killer
reminds a lot of both  of my own amps (a totally rebuilt high gain '73 Marshall JMP and a Zambelli Hyperdrive, which is also a 4 stage + CF hot rodded marshall)
my amps are very different from each other, though (the JMP is FAT, smooth and very open sounding, while the other is focused, metallic and saturated), but yours displays the best of both :D

Dude, this sounds as if it really grinds in all the right places! Very nice work! I think I speak for everyone else when I say that, we really wouldn't mind the pro tools audio with a still of the amp, I want to hear that awesome tone in all its glory.  :D

Seriously lovely sound, though. Nice one!   :D

cheers guys, the amp does indeed grind like fu..., err, a grindy thing  :lol:

I'll record something in ProTools and see how that works out.

I like loads of music, just can't play the heavier stuff -

That sounded pretty heavy to me. Is there really heavier???

Well there are some scribblings on the back of an envelope, however I expect my idea of "high gain" might not be as high gain as others.......................

For anyone following this thread, I've decided to make the gain stages switchable (might as well).  so, I've got my long-standing 'hotrod' mode (which is a tuned-up version of the 2203 circuit) then the 'hotrod+' circuit which is secret (ner ner, ha ha).

I'm also gonna have switchable master volumes - a normal pre-PI master like Marshall always used, and the second will be the 'Jose' master with the clipping diodes. 

It's aimed squared as a ROCK amp, but of course will do metal (as you're heard).  I'll probably do a version where you can mix/match any two of the plexi/2203/hotrod+/hotrod++ circuits for more tonal options.
