I have never plugged a SD-1 into a 2203 style circuit until last night .... I'm 51 years old ....
I always thought The Mesa Mark series were the be all end all amps for me .... for obvious reasons ... like growing up in the eighties and being infatuated with Master of Puppets / And Justice ..... I didn't mind the tones on the earlier albums ... but it was those two that really caught my attention ...
but after last night ...... now I realize that the 800 boosted tone is probably responsible for all the other albums I love ... I've heard it my whole dam life ... and never tried it .
I still might mod it with a extra gain stage tube ... we shall see ... I have to do a bunch of research . and try a bunch of stuff in front of the amp before I punch a hole in the chassis . but ... that's also a big reason I bought a reissue ... so I wouldn't fudge up a original .
