Plexi itch

I’m having an incredible weekend.

The modern classic is here on loan for a few days.

I’ve been comparing it to my other amps and getting my vintage classic really damn close.

I'm watching a Pete Thorn demo on YT, I've been drinking and, well ....
 
When I play my SLO, I try to dial it in to sound just like my SL67 or 100w Plexis. It's redundant for my tastes
 
What about one of these " on the cheap" or a Synergy Marshall JMP through the power amp of any Marshall you have

 
Got my SL68. I like my SL67 better. The SL68 arrived biased ice cold. So I corrected that. Tubes are EH and sound pretty dark to me. I'll do some rolling this week, but I'm thinking this needs to go to a home with a new for a huge, loud 100 watter. I already have a few of those and this doesn't really fill any gaps for me.

I played through a synergy once and should give it a fair shake. Its not something that crossed my mind before.
 
The 2 on my list would be a Bray, or Friedman Plex.

Neither have an FX loop, but I don't believe a true Plexi circuit will work with one. I'd probably get a PS-2 and use it's loop.

What kind of differences did you find between the two?
 
The SL67 is brighter and clearer. The SL68 almost sounds like there's a blanket over the speakers. It's really big sounding, that's for sure. But the SL67 lacks nothing and it just grabs me more. I would definitely need a pedal with the SL68 to get the kind of gain I see in the YT videos.
 
I built a couple of plexi type builds.

A JTM45/100 and a 1987/2204

Here is the second one in 1987 mode with my Hendrix/Trower pedalboard:



Probably more vintage sounding than you are looking for, but I love these type tones too as much as I like the brutalz...
