This the same amp?

Not an expert, but researched a bunch before buying one, and I think those are just a smaller run from like the late 80s. Probably a red knob era circuit.

Sounds sick man, keep 'em coming

Ill have to find his because all the others I've seen had almost no lows, which also surprised me when I heard them in your video.

Sounds better than most other Larry videos I've seen, though I don't really know the differences between his different models.

What's that DSL sound like? I had one like two decades ago and have no sense of what those mods would do

If for no other reason, get one just to help match wattages. I got a 100w just to match the 90w of the other speaker in my 212.

What I really want to know, when the Jose is switched off, how good of a 100w Plexi is it? I used to own a Friedman modded Plexi that he made sound just like his '68 (and now the Plex) and I completely regret selling it since all the other Plexi's I've bought just couldn't measure up.

Alnico for the warmth, but there's a couple options out there that are A5 with ceramic spacers that apparently give a decent blend of both.

I've got a Hellion and a Wizard MCII, both are keepers. I don't have an Alta but that one sounds most true to a Marshall from the clips I've heard. The Wizard is very clearly a modified Jubilee, so it's a question of how close to a Plexi you really want (given those influences you mentioned)...

East Bay Ray from Dead Kennedy's because that dude managed to mix surf music with punk music and I think that sounds sick. I basically aspire to something similar but more with spaghetti western and hardcore. Jimmy & Angus because that's what I hear in my brain when someone says rock'n'roll...

Sounds good, would never ever come close to buying one anywhere near that price though. Like my ceiling for those tones/features would probably be like $2k new.

https://www.squierwiki.com/Serial-Number-Tracking Looking at an E series by me at the moment as well. TLDR of them from what I can find is the wood working is great but the electronics are garbage (hence someone dropping some Laces into yours). Chatted with a local tech and his recommendation...

Ground lifts are tricky...they're not always well places in your signal chain and are technically unsafe for amps. Passives boxes like the Lehle P-ISO solve those problems though.

Invest in a noise gate that does the 4CM, it may introduce a ground loop (solvable) but it will make your rig usable if you've got a lot of feedback going on. I'm in a similar boat (high gain, volume cranked, sit in front of my cabs) and make it work with a Fortin Zuul+ (silence the noise...

What's your exact signal chain? Need to start ruling out some variables... These might not solve your problem, but could be relevant.

This would be a sick idea. Go use those Headfirst PCBs and see if you can cram an MCII & MTL into a single amp or something.

Doesn't strike me as a great price to be honest. I feel like I usually see the VCs go in the $3k range (with the MCII & MTL go in the $4ks)

I'm so surprised since I hate rectos and own(ed) a ton of Marshall based amps, but I think I like the Rectos better from him (at least based on the handful of clips).

So infrequently that when I finally do grab a new one it feels weird and I hate it.
