All sounded great. The Boogie has less sizzle but that just shows how the clones have the Marshally cut. The CCM had moments of uber huge. What was up there? But gun-to-my-head I think I liked the Aldrich. I always seem to like the not so over the top ones. But again all were really great tones.
 
I think I liked the Aldrich the most, but the CCM was close. CCV seemed just like a nastier version of those two.

No idea what the circuit differences are though lol
 
Your CCV and CCM versions are the regular upside down PCB's like Mark's ones which makes the maintenance harder or have you made it in the regular way?
 
Thanks brother !

As much as I'd love to do it , it would be impossible for me now a days due to my production company and family life. Mods are doable , but doing ground up builds takes alot of time and effort and you know me Tom, I like to turn stuff around quick and get it back to people.

Maybe one day but Def not now lol I'd be down for some mods though. That's easier and much faster! These clone amps were a passion and hobby project that took YEARS and YEARS of poking, tinkering , buying amps, peeking under the hood and so on.

I've come a long way with amps from where I started with my first toaster lol I've gotten better. But still have much to learn to !

I also have to follow my own moral compass and as much as I know MC screwed me and others here. I wouldn't feel right blatantly copying his work and pretending like it's mine as a legitimate business. Everything I've done thus far has been for fun , learning, and tinkering. ....
Very respectable! But if you lose your moral compass let me know:rawk::hys::hys:

Hey brother ! These are actually point to point , much easier to service and tweak.
 
I know you are busy FourT6and2, but you also do insanely bad ass work. This guy (FourT6and2) makes some incredible amps. I’ve played a couple and they are as good as anything out there. I mean, bad ass high gain machines with some awesome tone shaping capabilities you don’t see on many amps.

I appreciate that, thanks!
 
Mesa sounded like a weaker version of the other three. Sounds good but first three sound the same to me. In other words I could deal with anyone of three.
 
Superlead reissues are my fav. 100 Watters
Do you have a list of what mods you offer?

I've got a '99 100w SLP that Dave Friedman did his Plexi mod on, but I'm considering selling it in pursuit of something more different from my Monomyth Skeleton Key.
 
I think the Speaker Cab configuration is really nice and IMO is the biggest factor in the tones. That said, the CCM cuts more than the others.
 
Totally stock plugged straight in , master on like 3.5 / 4 , Pretty heavy scoop on the graphic eq , bass and mid on zero, treble on 10 on the preamp eq, bright pulled put , both gains on 7

When you do decide to get back inside the amps,
I want in, let’s combo up, my house closes on the 27th, stupid profit from the sale in Florida, take that money and run!
The first “stock” response I get from smarty pants individuals is:

Individual: “Yeah…so all that profit you made will buy you less in today’s market,
everything’s so expensive”.

Jaybird: “Do me and my money a favor,
KEEP believing that”.

Anyways, that MKIV tone ironically is the 1st choice in amps I’d arm myself with if we jammed.
In fact, a few posts back, I claimed that as my
amp/sound of choice to blend with your amp/sound in your recently posted Undivided
song when we actually ‘combo up’ to jam.
You know why?
Because we’re both drummers and….,
we’re both Greek.
