Dean, the Marshall 9000 plugged into the fx return sounds great and the 4x12 is in my closet with an sm 57...the best part is the wife likes it. However I wont use the bag much, if I take the amp to jam somewhere sure...but I haven't done that in quite a few years and no place around has a jam night.

sorry, couldn't resist !

Good to hear your Marshall likes the Egnater. Ime it should get along well with the Boogie, too ?

besides being a good neigbor it really can't do much for the boogie...remember I have the sob, two drives, 1 channel, 4 pre-amp tubes, 4 power tubes and speaker outs only. No fx send or return, no eq, no reverb just the power and tone to knock a fly out of the sky a mile away

So that's why I lost my balance!

Ah, didn't know the SOB doesn't have a loop, all Mesas I owned had one.

Apart from that and the cosmetics it should be rather close to the Mark I afair.
Great amps, very underrated.

Before I forget, happy new ear to all of you !
ear ? was it beer ? bear ? year ? don't remember.

All of the above, to be on the safe side !

I passed on one of these for a good price the other day. Kicking myself for it now.

- a nice 2203 (JMP or early 800) might be an option

We're looking at producing a Jubilee clone. It's mostly for the ESP crowd, which is our best selling guitar line, but I'm making sure it'll satisfy anyone after a 2203, as well.

- last but not least, I wouldn't turn down a Simulclass Mk II Mesa

What do you think of the blue stripe Mk III?

Hink, let me additionally suggest a Peavey Classic 30/50...Built like tanks, a used one will be just fine (and affordable).

Funny, mine has been sitting nonfunctional for several years...

One billion years ago, when I was a bassist I used have this friend with a classic 50. It was small but sounded fantastic and could tear the paint off the walls.

But it was in the shop all the time. Luckily he had a soldano preamp and power supply as a backup

How did you mod your Blue Angel? I'd love to have the reverb footswitch simultaneously change the fat/bright switch and defeat the mid pot, given how much the mid affects the saturation. I'd also like to make the effects switchable to series, just so a master volume can be inserted there.

btw, I changed V1 and V2 to 5751's which tightened up the feel, made the amp less noisy, and provided a more useful range to the volume control. I also changed V5 to a 12AT7 which dropped the overall volume and further tightened up the feel. The amp now reminds me of an 18W Marshall when driven yet it can still sound like a Super Reverb when the bright switch is on and the mids are dropped.

Hanglow wrote:Also has anyone tried the Egnater Tweaker?

It's my favorite Egnater so far. It feels far more like a vintage amp than any other Egnater I've ever used (including my own TOL100, which is stiff as a board) and the character switch sounds legit and has a massive impact on the tone. I've got very high hopes for the Tweaker 40:

That describes my THD tweed Champ, I don't find it too inspiring to play on its own but it definitely records well. It has the added bonus of a line out, too.

Hink wrote:I toyed with the idea of getting the Tweaker instead especially after eric in a pm told me how much he liked it but this time around I went with the Rebel because it's one of the two I played (tried an Orange TT too).

The Orange TT, though a one trick pony, is bad ass for anyone looking for a JMP on a budget.

I'm still interested in the Ibanez tubscreamer head and a few other 'micro tube heads'.

Personally, I thought it sounded cool with the Tube Screamer engaged but thin and lifeless without it.

jkleban wrote:Three knobs... VOLUME, BASS and TREBLE... that's it

The tweed doesn't even have the bass and treble! It could really use it, actually, as it's too dark sounding on its own (although that's part of what makes it so good for recording).

I've also wanted an 80's Super Champ.
