Richie Faulkner bought #12302

i’m good with a rock star wanting it, buying it and putting it to use. ignoring this video’s handheld audio quality, it also sounds just like any old marshall SL circuit of that era.
a stock version of this dialed in and recorded properly in the right player’s hands sounds like:



or a replica of VH’s tweaked 12301 circuit ala :



the main point being both examples i’ve referenced would have been radically more affordable and equally as tone-bearing, yet maybe not as collector cool.


i actually think it would be super cool if RF bailed on the “yet moar gainz” arms race and dialed in some vintage Priest tones with it for the next album!

What about the serial number 1 number before Ed's?

Toan is in the serial number stamp.

No way to judge the overall tone with that camera mic whipping all around the room but that's not what the video was about. It's just documenting a cool thing for dudes like us who are into gear. There's no mistaking the plexi snarl it definitely has though. You can hear it doing the collapsing-in-on-itself cat yowl thing plexis do when you crank them. Very cool.

At the very least I think we can all be glad it's going to a good player.
