Don't know about any blue boarded Marshalls, but I've had a few Snorklers give me blue balls in my day.

The mod retains a lot of vintage character of the amp both in voicing but also in gain structure. Donor was a 1970 Super Trem 100w superlead. Its got a lot of meat to the tone and is very raw-organic-open with tons of vintage warmth but very aggressive with impressive clarity. Tight but not too tight and growls a lot in the mid to low mids and has tons of kerang-snarl-bark in the upper mids. Very fun to play with that alive-addictive-can't stop playing feel under the fingers, very connected feeling.
Sounds incredible straight in, but takes boosts incredibly well. For some reason it really really likes the Wizard Leopard. That pedal is very transparent and doesn't really alter the amps core tone or gain structure if you keep output and gain low on the pedal and it just adds some more "juice-grease" and a bit of attack and compression.
Overall, very unique amp and when you get the volume up its hard to stop playing it. Just a vicious, guttural sound with the right amount of everything.
