I've heard as cool as the amp is, it's still mostly a modern tone vs more of a Marshall tone. Which a few buyers didn't like so much. And no, I won't name them.

It Seems Most people want a Multi Channel Amp that Has 3 Channels.

Channel 1 would cover: Fender Twin/Vox AC 30 cleans & Mild Break Up

Channel 2 would cover: JCM800-JVM/Jubilee/Modded Marshall Territory

Channel 3 would cover: Modern Metal Tones....5150/Uber/Dual Rec/Bogner/Diezel.

Am i off Base?

I personally love KSR Amps & Really want a Purple Artemis.

I haven't played one, so I can't personally say anything other than just what I mentioned. They thought the amp would be more Marshall-like than it is. When you spend 3-4K on an amp if it's not perfect for them it gets sold quickly. But that's not an indictment of the amp, it's just the opinion of a couple buyers.

I’d be cool with 2 channels, clean dirty with the dirty maybe having a solo boost and it’s own gain control...and still sound like an actual Marshall, just with more gain and better feel.
 
Mine isn't going anywhere unless I have to sell it. It won't be by choice.
 
The Juno is a great amp. Definitely different than the Gemini but I would agree, it's not a truly a modded Marshall in the way a Friedman, Henning, etc are. It leans that way for sure but it is still much tighter and has more defined gain on tap than those previously mentioned amps. Like I said, now having my Gemini, they are definitely different. It's still a KSR though. Lots of bottom end, super chunky, aggressive and tight. It does good Crunch tones for sure.

I will say, I think Kyle has a "sound" which is an accomplishment.

Well put jer. Wish I could describe amps like you can haha. For me it’s the perfect blend of everything i like in a amp. If I wanted more modern Marshall I would of got the be-50 which is the amp I was leaning towards before the Juno was released.

buying a 4k amp from one company to try and sound like another company which you could have for a fraction of the cost dosent make much sense to me :dunno:

Right. But, it doesn't stop many of us from trying to get the 'best' version of an amp that the original company doesn't quite get there with...take Wizard for instance. You want a Marshall but 'more' of everything? Try an MCI/II. Very Marshally and has more EQ range, low end and Power/Thump. But, those still might not be as Marshall as they want. I tried a Wizard MTL thinking it was the best Marshall I would ever try...and I sold it after a month because the mids just aren't the same. Eventually tried an MCI and THAT was the best Marshall I ever played not named Marshall.
