One thing to remember is that back then there were not many options for amps and speakers. Especially speakers…even when I started on 1980 there weren’t many to pick from.
Most overrated amp?

100% - this is what I mean by the modders coming along and trying to tweak different tones out of the "pretty similar herd" of amps that were at the time in rotation. At that time - the "plexi sound" was all over hells half acre - modders came along at the request of players seeking 'a little something different' to individualize their tonal wants and pursuits. 100% agreed.
$2500 used up to $4500 new for all various iterations and eras. Given some "boutique" amps FAR surpass these prices, don't be paying faff'n'tosser prices for something you can get for less to get the job done. And as for "everybody would buy one" - alas, this is where I've opted out as - personally - I want a different sounding amp. Simple.

That was my point , $2,500.00 used is way way out of the majority of guitarists price range. OK , so you personally would rather have something else , that's OK there is always an exception out there . I still stand by what I said about most would LOVE to have an affordable classic Plexi .

Didn't know Larry's rep sooo bad.
Do you know how to not be a huge douchebag who is always fighting with someone on the internet because no one likes you in real life? Asking for everyone.
Don’t waste your time Larry , this asshole is already balls deep in some dude right now taking out all his frustrations on the world, it’s written all over his posts.

Ah has buddy thegame forced you, to creep out of under your stone into the light, to finally post yourself?
And now you try to force me to refund you twice through trying to piss on my back again publicly, as you've alredy done it years ago over at Gear Page?
Or have you lost your glasses already years ago, so that you couldn't see my back wire of your pissed 400 EUR?
The back wire because I've decided at that time, that you aren't worth it to get nice NOS Tungsram's - due to your ~kind~ words at Gear Page.
Sorry baby, nice try - but now better you creep back under this stone, where you just came from
I certainly don't need to keep a fucking 400 euros back and provoke public stress by doing so
In this case, I regret that my DINO's are so robust and reliable, because I wish that yours would even crumble to dust.
You really aren't worthy of owning such a classy device
Hallelujah

Simply have a few frustrated bad boys spreading rumors, then you'd pull everyone's rep into bad light
This method is quite simple

I realize this is mostly venting, but I do have some thoughts on this. Lots of the move away from those amps was about getting more function than wanting a different sound. Lots of us love our old Marshalls, but a couple of channels would be nice, an effects loop, and maybe get those sounds on a stage smaller than Madison Square Garden. There are a lot of amps out there trying to just do that and it's been that way for 40+ years. None of them can do it all. They're all compromise, but it's understandable that someone's first question is whether it captures the sound, before delving into the functionality of the amp.
When I look around, about 90% of the high gain channel switchers out there are basically gained up and functioned up Marshall 2203's (not really "plexis" but still classic single channel Marshalls) and they sound like it. Boogies are the only amps I can think of that have had much impact that aren't essentially modified Marshalls.

Never received the money, Helmut.
Please email me a copy of the wire transfer, I need to know the account, date, etc as I gave you very specific bank account info to wire it to and my bank has no record of a wire transfer from you from March 2020 to the end of May 2020.
Yep!
