Carol Ann Triptik. I'm just looking for some opinions here as I have never owned an actual Marshall (own a handful of Marshall type clones) and am far from an expert on that tone? I hear some say Carol Anns such as the Triptik sound like a Marshall others say they are like a Marshall with some dumble characteristics (some describe his other amps as dumble like) and others might just describe the gain tones as British. Like I said I'm not a Marshall expert but to me it sounds pretty Marshall like? As long as I like it it really does not matter what it sounds like but I thought I would get some opinions from others here with better ears and more experience.
I switch back and forth between this amp and a Friedman BE every 3 months or so to get some variety but I probably like the Friedman more.

last clip I made of the Triptik
 
In the hot rod british vein for me.. often find that these high gainers don't record well though. A lot of fizz on that clip for me and bass.. doesn't make it sound like a high priced amp to me. I boost Marshalls though, I like that sound best.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate. It is actually a quite dark amp with traditional settings so I dialed in this clip with more treble, presence, and mids and that maybe accounts for the fizz you are hearing? The bass was set quite low though and this was the classic gain channel, the modern has way more (too much for me) bass. It is a very thick sounding 50 watt amp. If you think that is a lot of bass you would be shocked how much bass the Friedman BE has even with the bass almost off :lol: :LOL: I don't dial in any bass with that one once in awhile get up to 8 oclock! (of course that is thru a 4x12 with a les paul)

Here is a darker clip I made of the Triptik.
