If they do reissue Chinese versions of the Marshall 1watts, you can be sure they'll use cheaper components to preserve the value of the Bletchley ones. The UK ones apparently have half decent transformers in them for example.
Anyway, my overpriced 1w collectors item Marshall has arrived this morning so we will see.
The JMP1 is a great sounding amp by the way, proper toney!
I remember HTH on this very forum saying a good sounding 1w amp would take just as much development effort as a 100w, but of course since its seen as more of a practice amp, people aren't willing to pay more.
I still do think those 200quid Laney cub heads sounded pretty good, but definitely you can hear the difference with the 1w Marshalls.
Having said that I have just brought an amp (the 80s version) that I haven't ever heard, so it is a bit of a risk, but I think a calculated one. Also there was a decent Thomann b-stock discount, so lets see if I think its worth it later when I plug it in.
