If you look at the video, Pete explains that you have to pull the normal volume knob to bring it into the circuit when you use the boost. So, it appears that the tone comes from blending both jumped channels with the boost engaged in front. I will readily be corrected if I have misunderstood.
Exactly. Frankly, I'm surprised this hit 3 pages. I dont think the amp sounds that great...I mean its cool, but.... I never cared for Mick Mar's tone on any album.
I mistook 'jumped' to mean cascaded but I think you meant channels paralleled so I think we're on same page. Pete only did it when plugged into the boost input but my guess is that it works with either input.
When I listen to the video, that tone sounds nothing like any of his albums to me. I actually like the tones in the video better than his album tones.
I would have to agree with both of your assessments on this Jose. I think the standard pre-tonestack Jose seems to provide more of the traditional Marshall plexi/superlead clank and harmonic content. While the Mick Mars Jose seemed a little flat to my ears. Some people might like or love it and that's all good.
Personally, I thought the Vai Marshall annihilated this thing. I didn’t care much for the tone.

Dont have such digital gizmo`s, Germino knows, I have a stock 100 watt that will kill a soldano/ its non master. Greg said he couldnt figure out why. I will sale for $10k LOL
Good luck with that.
It was a joke but the real joke is who and what paid and bought that amp. A fool and their money.
