Yes they are different but can be dialed similar. The 100 has a pristine clean channel of course, but the gain side can only be set to low/high gain via toggle. I was finding that Low was not enough and High was too much. On the other hand, the 60 has a mini pot above the Master that can give you much more range on the gain. This pot was an add on at the last minute while talking to Glen.@EyesOfTheSouth! Looks like you have both the 100 and 60 watt Sirrom. Is there any difference in tone or feel? How do they compare to the XSIII?
I agree........tons of low end in all his amps. If you are using a 4x12 then you won't be using the Depth control much. I barely crack it when using my 2x12 or Bogner Cube.Had a Perplexed S3 and it was killer in every way. Right up there with the best of them. HUGE low end response.

On the dirty channel of that GCM008, give it a try with the toggle switch at the highest gain setting, and then run the gain knob at around 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock. That's how it sounded best to me. You'll get a tighter bottom end response that way too. Other than my old Marshalls, there's nothing I've owned or tried that I've liked as much as the Morris amps, with the XSIII (both standard and classic models) and the '68 Brownout being my favourites.Interesting responses, well UPDATE from when I created this thread::
Picked up a used Morris GCM008, and loaded it with jj pre and jj power tubes.
This thing is very impressive, channel 1 (named "AC") nails ac/dc crunch and light clean ranging to moderate gain (think JCM800 with gain half way?). Channel 2 (named "DC") is hot rodded JCM800 territory.
It is very open, tight tracking, bass response is unique and is big bottom but can still track tight. Still tweaking the knobs to understand how they interact, but this is like having a Marshall plexi and JCM800 in one amp. I would say it absolutely compares to Friedman smallbox in terms of build/sound quality, if not, dare I say better. It has that marshall 'bark' in the mids and kerrang.
Sounds like the issue with the Bogner Telios.I’d call it bloated low end that can‘t be dialed out
Just an update: I tried out your settings and they sound great. I ALSO picked up a BOSS SD-1 and WOW this totally is a game changer for me, it turns this amp into a perfect old school thrash hot rodded Marshall tones on the AC rhythm ch, and DC ch for leads.. the SD1 tightens up and cuts some lows to make it very nice, and retains a very open huge sound still.
