Yup, this 33 year old daddy of metal amps can still hang with the new high gain heads....
Even stock, all it needs is a slight nudge from the tube screamer.

This amp is absolutely stock, no mods whatsoever.

 
There's a reason why marshalls are king. Simple old school circuit with a pedal or two, can get you everything you'll ever need. Sounds killer!
 
Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Cab was a Mesa recto.
More miking info etc can be found in the yt description
 
Of course, thats what I've been saying for years. All the overpriced 3-4k+ are a joke and waste of money.

People buy them and end up flipping them anyway. Gives this forum something to do I guess.

That 2203 circuit with a few basic mods.. look up riffguy on YT and see what he does to his, just unreal tone.

Even without the mods in their stock form as this is are great.

Can you post a link? I went to a page for "riffguy" and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.


Clip in this thread was great. :rock:
 
Lasse Lammert,
I told you your videos are the reason why I've decided to get two different revs Dual Rectifiers.
Now you're making me want another 2203!!!
Killer sounding clip!!!
 
Haha, and, did you regret getting those old rectos?
No, I bet you didn't!
So now get the 2203 to compliment them :)

I got my first recto a few months ago. I've been a Marshall guy for 20+ years. It's a 2 channel Rev G, nothing special. What a kick-ass amp!
 
I disagree. I've followed your clips over the years and that 800 sounds thinner than other amps that you have clipped. Having drums in the clip doesn't help either, as everything sounds heavier with drums added to me. Your early Uberschall, Diezel, and other various clips sound heavier.

And I will disagree with you. Two different worlds. One is a modern tone and the other more vintage. I will take the vintage tone everyday of the week.

In a mix with a bass player you need to cut more and push low end less. In a room by yourself, sure the others will be thicker and more modern but the 2203 is the classic sound of rock of metal. This clips just goes to show that with, or even without a TS push, you can get it done. And in my opinion, get it done even better.

I am over 40 though so my ears hear things differently so YMMV.
