First off, I'd like to know if they are what I'm looking for. I want something to give me an 80's metal tone along the lines of Warren DiMartini, Jake E. Lee, Vivian Campbell, Doug Aldrich, and Matthias Jabs. Obviously they're not all the same tone, and I'm well aware that a good bit of tone is in the fingers, but something along the lines of those dudes is what I want.

If I'm looking for that type of tone, and it's possible to get from one of the mods, which would be the one to get? I guess I'd like an explanation of the different mods available.

Also (I know, I'm probably asking too much), I'd like to get a killer thrash tone along the lines of Iced Earth. I know that Jon Schaffer uses an almost-impossible to get amp, but I'd love to get something that sounds fairly similar.

OK, now on to the amp itself. I don't have a Marshall or any amp to be modified right now. So, I'd be buying it with the intention of being modified. Does it have to be a vintage Marshall? I'm not a tone snob in the least, so if something else will get me close for cheaper, I'd rather that. Do reissues work? How about clones like a Ceriatone?

I know, it's a lot of questions. But I'm on my neverending tone quest, and I like the clips I've heard of the Friedman mods.
 
Just get a Marshall SLP reissue and get the kitchen sink with the fat switch and saturation switch and you will have every conceivable tone. Yes it does the sound you mentioned and more. Dave
 
So the Kitchen Sink mod plus fat and saturation switches will cover everything I'm looking for? Bad ass! How much would that run me? I'm not sure if you'll show prices on the forum, so if not, let me know and I'll PM you.

How would this SLP reissue work? It's got a master volume mod, so I don't know if you'll work on amps that are already modified.

+1 on that...............my friedman Kitchen Sink w/saturation switch modded amp can easily do it all from classic rock to speed/thrash metal :rock: GO FOR IT!!!
 
I have a '93 SLP that Dave is about to mod with the Kitchen Sink, Fat, Sat, Loop, and a Modern switch....As soon as I get it back, I'll be posting my thoughts on the amp...From what I can figure, the SLP RI is a good starting point for an incredible Friedman mod...Don't ask me what the Modern switch does..I have no clue...A buddy of mine got his JMP done with that as extra and he loves it....
