Played both in a Store: The 2203 and the 1959 Modified...

[Simon Dorn]

...and i was not impressed. Did not turn 'em up loud. But i did not feel the need. It was just meh. Other than the Master Volume on the 1959 (which occupies the wrong input if you ask me) there was nothing useful in the Mod-Department which you can't achieve with a Pedal of your choice. Both have the Vietnamese Transformers in them. I'd rather take a pre 2022 2203 or 1959 (SLP 1959 MK2 is my favorite btw) and a nice Pedal anyday. Which i have At least i got a 2203 from 2015 and my 2 Ibanez Pedals, as ou propably know. lol. Anyone else played the Modified Series?

Divine Intervietion or Divine Intervietnamtion? Both are awkward and not my finest work. I'm sorry.

No worries. It's kinda the same with the Modified Series.

I think bugger-uh is the proper pronunciation.

We've been saying for years :"Marshall should just make hot rodded classic amps and they would kill all competitors".

They did and screwed up. How the fuck.

They just make amps to help fund their memorabilia business.

At least they made a nice copy of a Fender Amp.

 

[RaceU4her]

These amps just seemed like some sort of response to the Mesa reissues

Like Fender.

Admittedly I have not played on in person but sounds to me on many demos, like they got it "right" with these personally. Maybe you guys are used to more modern mods?? but I agree, a Mr. Scary hot mod or a pedal will get you there. the 59 and 2203/04 circuits are perfect. I have two early 80's JCM800's. One has a non intrusive Jose mod and gain boost. It's awesome. No holes, just push/pull pots. Such a good amp.

Not a neo-soul guitarist in sight anywhere among them.
