Rockstah mod 5 still sounds like a great Marshall plexi with sizzle

I had one. Honestly, just sounded like a 'slightly' boosted Marshall. Which, of course IS a great sound. The magic in those amps were Mark's amazing EVH-like chops; not many guys can pull that style off that well...Al Estrada of course....

Very nice @Racerxrated. That very much reminds me of Accept’s Balls to the Walls tone

are you refencing the suhr/golub SE lead mod?

This mod is a Langner 5 stage design. Totally different than the 2 Golub lead mods, and 4 Cam Aldrich mods I owned. This mod seems thicker, more saturated with great clarity and the feel is even better than the Cameron's. The Camerons were always the gold standard in feel when it came to modded Marshalls. Not anymore.

With the 4-stage comment? No. Just saying that a plate-fed Marshall (4 stages) vs a cathode follower Marshall with an additional tube stage (4 stages) will sound and feel different.

I wouldn’t call a Rockstah Mod 5 slightly boosted Marshall at least my doesn’t sound slightly boosted that’s for sure

The Mark A modded 2204 I had was very much a 'lightly boosted' 2204 with a small voicing change. Cool amp, but not a fire breather like the Langner modded Marshalls we are talking about here.

I see what you mean mine is not slightly boosted that’s for sure I can’t use a boost in front of mine it would be to much

This 5-stager I build takes a boost just fine. I can't imagine the Mod 5 is too much...

That’s how Mark A.made mine. Mark A. treated each amp that he modded differently
