School me on thd flexi50 please

[mchn13]

Ive only heard clips online but have heard alot about them over the years. Theres one for sale local for $750, and im considering it. I love old marshalls and heard its based on a plexi with more modern appointments.. Anyone have one or time on one? Fwiw i friggin adore my vht d60 which reminds me of my old jmp, but with more balls.

I went to THD HQ years ago to try one. DeGenaro wanted to hear my Zwengel Banshee I had at the time so we AB'd the Flexi and Banshee into a couple cabs in the warehouse. The Flexi sounded best with an EL-34/6550 combination to both my ears and Ed's, as did running it wide open without the master in the circuit. Amazing sounding amp if you run it this way. I thought it sounded slightly choked/muffled at lower volumes.

But in my opinion, the D60 you already have would probably cop the Flexi tones and then some.

I had one for a couple months years ago. I had the matching 4x12 as well.
The description above was how I perceived it. Dark.
Sold it off quickly.
On paper it seemed fantastic, but I did not gel with it.

It's definitely darker than a Plexi and I think it's also more compressed.

Not a bad amp at all but I'd call it more of a "modern take" on the Plexi than anything.

Thanks y'all. The clips i heard sounded a bit gongested, just didnt know if i should pass on it. Seemed like a good deal, but the amps i have cover everything i do right now. Stupid gas..
