Agreed.Sounds like an SLO w/delay to me.
I think I was pretty clear it was more than just headroomboth in headroom and in voicing.
I love my 72 Supertrem...it is a force of nature. But after owning 3 SLOs, no way would a 100w NMV Marshall bury any SLO. SLOs can keep up with a Wizard 100w, and if it keeps up with a Wizard 100w it'll keep up with a great 100w NMV Marshall. SLOs have a ton of upper mids...just like the Marshall. I boosted my SLOs so maybe that's why they had HUGE headroom; but they were painfully loud just like my 72. Now, maybe the 72 (or the 68s you guys mention) will get slightly louder than the SLOs but no chance they'd bury it. My 72 did bury my C+ Coliseum; but the Coli doesn't have that Marshall upper mid zing like the SLO does.A SLO is great in and of itself and cut great live but it would get eaten for breakfast ran next to another guitarist with a cranked 68 plexi both in headroom and in voicing. I don’t own a SLO no, but both my Marshall and metroplex would bury my 5150 II in a mix without any issue.
The 67-73 are so upper mid and high end voiced it physically hurts to stand next to. No SLO has ever done that to my ears.
Still an absolute great sounding amp.I will do better!
I agree. I have to do some comparisons again, but I think my '89 SLO would cut considerably more than my '67 tremolo 50 (may be another story vs '68 or later or 100 watts). The most cutting high gainers I have are probably my '89 SLO and Purpleface. My IIC+, Rev D, Naylor and most others literally sound like they're underwater next to the SLO, yet the SLO and Purpleface both sound actually less fatiguing/grating on the ears. My Schroeder DB and Alessandro Redbone Special actually can make my SLO and Wizard seem comparatively distant, but neither are good for stuff beyond classic rock (they might have other models that could be heavier). Cut doesn't make an amp better to me than another, still to me about just how good the tone is, but sure is a great bonus if it can. SLO and Plexi are both great, but can't sound like each other imo. Gotta have both lol. Every time I think I'm getting a Marshall-y sound with my SLO I do an AB with my '67 or '79 2203 and it just is it's own thing. Different high end, mids and feelI love my 72 Supertrem...it is a force of nature. But after owning 3 SLOs, no way would a 100w NMV Marshall bury any SLO.

But as much as I dig the SLO the 72 is my desert island amp. Simply incredible sounding. The tone in my head.
