Wow, kinda uncool if they are selling kits that are that 'Marshall' like. Jeez.
I have and have built a few Webers, and say what you will about Weber kits, he doesn't go that far.
Hey Mike, a fun mod for these is what I did to my 18 watt kit - I gained up one channel, and it is pretty cool, and then I gained DOWN the other one, and made it chimier/more voxy. These amps are so simple they are pretty easy to modify. Looks like they did a decent job building it too, I bet it sounds great.

I spent the last 3 days bitching about Ceriaone selling a Matchless DC30 as a Muchle$$, but this shit takes the cake...
Well, it gets even more ironic than that. Before this kit came out, the owner of Soultone was bitching on TGP about how Marshall had just released the Vintage Modern which was a marketing phrase that he used on his website.
Just goes to show you. I'm not going to try and play any ethics games when it comes to gear, especially amps. The line between borrower, cloner, thief, and inspiration is blurred to the point of being gone. So I'll just buy the best tone I can afford at any given time and let the rest of them sort it out. I bought it knowing full well it was a clone/kit, and if I ever sell it, I'll sell it the same way.
