The Infamous Purple Plexi

[glpg80]

you know the amplifier - the one that is responsible for the rhythm and lead tones of the BFTA album from lynch.

i know aspen sold it to GC along with the rest of his collection to fund USA tube productions.

i know i've heard rumors that someone over at plexipalace owns it currently.

im making it a mass effort to find the original owner of this amplifier - for history reasons if not for my own wondering and everyone else too.

im sure im not the only lynch fan out there that wonders where this thing is at

im going to register at each and every forum to see if i can get some help on locating it. any help or info would be appreciated

The first Lynch Mod cd is the one that I reference when speaking of the purple plexi, here is a vid of him using it......

Forum memeber Squarehead has said that the amp blew up and was beyond repairing, he stated I THINK that he had a shot at that amp at one point. PM him for his take.

Yeah that's what i remember reading too!

I seem to remember that it had a blown power or output tranny, and that when they replaced it it never ever sounded close to the tone it had before.

Of course you and I have that tone now anyways

BTW I have not tried your settings yet, will do so soon!

It's not a plexi, it's a '72.

I correct you too Scott. Plexis are worth about two to three times as much as an early metal panel Super Lead. Try telling guys on a Mustang forum that a '72 is as cool as one of their '65-70's and see what happens.

I went to the Corral one time talking up my 1977 Cobra II and did not understand the backlash that I received

Biggest v8 POS EVER....................

Too right we do! especially when loaded down and slaved with the stereo super-soaker FX, and its all there in the Cali

Cool, let me know what you think of those settings man, i think you'll like them!

I had a '78, and even though it was a POS, it was a damn fun POS.

I never tried to delude myself into thinking it was even in the same family as my uncles 2 '70 Boss 302's though.

I never owned one but I had a friend that had one, cool looking but just zero power compared to early 70s stuff. He wanted to race my 70 340 Duster once, I had to look hard in the rearview to find him

I want a new Mustang BAD

The Aspen Pittman purple plexi was a '71 I believe.

What Vrad said. '68 and '71 seem to be the good years! George, Jake and the boys like them a lot.

'71 rules! Haven't tried a '68... but I've had a love affair with my purple '71 SL for 5 years now...

This is the amp you're thinking about sending to Fortin to be modded?

 

[Digital Jams]

I have to admit no way would I have a 71 modded unless it was screwed to begin with.

MV maybe but that would be it.

If it is then Mike will more then likely tell him not to do it

Just for the record....That rig is flat out killer looking!!!

 

[Chubtone]

At this point you just don't mod an amp like that. Custom color early metal panel

And I've read Mike comment that he doesn't like to mod amps like that.

 

[Marshall Freak]

Actually 71 had an inordinate amount of duds due to a run of bad output transformers, I had one, and no matter what was tried, it sounded weak and shitty. Different tubes, mods etc, nothing worked. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you get fucked.

There's actually no difference between a 72 and a 71 either in their circuit etc other than some 72's had the "Chicklets" on the board, which made no difference in tone.
