Swapped the 5881 for EL34 for a test and found that the amp sounded more like your clips. Lost some of the girth but gained some clarity in the highs. More like a Marshall for sure.

Sounds great. What is the signal chain?

Seems prices are around $1k but l was lucky to find a deal. Was looking at the 50. Curious how different they are?

Still on the Greenback speaker. First impressions are positive. Definitely has it's own sound. Boosted with a Maxon OD808x.

The one I had was a low mid focused beast but it recorded well.

IME the unicorn V30s are easier to find in Mesa cabinets.

This one has the Pacific Audio Magnetics transformers but the v1 circuit.

Definitely helps an amp cut in this type of music.

While I agree that the speaker has the largest impact on the final sound, the pickup is very important for some styles.

These clips are just off the cuff trying to translate the amp. Forgive them haha This amp does love boosts but I was surprised how well I was digging it with this speaker straight in.

The free update v3 is now live! Added 10 captures using a Marshall 4x12 with 1971 Greenback. Two are liquid. https://livereadysound.com/product/rogue-mono-mod/

Thanks. Sure, here is a lead clip, dry, no effect or post processing. Interesting, the mids of the 87x are pretty intense in a unique way compare to other amps I have. I find it works best with standard or drop D tuning.

Interesting. Does the Skeleton Key have more attack?

Straight in using a 1971 Greenback. For anyone with a Skeleton Key I would be curious how this compares?

So hard for me to pick. I'll go with: 1999 Triple Rectifier Rev G Wizard Modern Classic Marshall 1987x Monomyth modded
