I ordered a Dookie. I immediately recognized the sound I wanted when I listened to the clips. I have three old Marshalls and, while I won't know for sure until it gets here, it sounds better than any Marshall I've personally played. We shall see. It in fact sounds better than the original that Cavallo has, as can be heard in the Tim Pierce comparison video (they thought because the components are new).
All the whining gives me one impression: You peeps can't afford one😉. Enjoy your captures, boys. 😂🤦‍♂️ Of course, you have other reasons too, valid reasons, such as haughty arrogance, cork-sniffing wankiness, insecurity, etc. 😁
And on cost, I looked up the price of a normal SLP in the year Dookie was recorded. It varies but the average seems to have been around $1,750. AI told me inflation has added 2.31 times to the cost of everything, on average. That puts the inflation-adjusted price of that SLP at $4,042. A Dookie is $4,000. But a Dookie isn't a run of the mill PCB SLP. It's hand-wired in England, it's a limited run, a signature, it has a factory Dookie mod, Master Volume, and a unique color. All of that put together makes the Dookie somewhat a bargain, IMO. If they don't make too many of them, they will go up in value over the long-term. And the whole time it will sound awesome. You can't stare at a capture or show it to your buds. This amp is going to be jaw dropping to my guitar friends - people who grew up with GD. If I hadn't ordered one, I'm pretty sure I'd be kicking myself for the rest of my life. I wish I'd bought a Randy Rhoads and a Lemmy too. These opportunities don't come along too often (at least, they haven't).

Nah...I only regret somewhat not buying the Malmsteen sig head when some stores were unloading these for like $1200-1400 (NEW). I'd probably sell it now for the $2.5-3k they seem to be fetching and get a Bogner 3534 50W v2, a Mark VII or a IIC+ RI for that instead, but that's a different story.

Dude, do you have any idea of the amp collections of members here? :hys:

I sincerely doubt that people can't afford; rather I think it's a combination of people not thinking it's worth the price, and people who don't want to put money in the angry lesbian aunt's pockets

Is this what you'll be telling you SO when you have to explain why you just dropped 4K on a shitty (dookie) amp? Or are you just trying to convince yourself it was a good buy?

LOL it seriously sounds like a sales pitch from marshall

"You see, when you factor inflation, gay buttsex, and the custom color, the Dookie amp should be 40 thousand dollars! at 4 thousand it's a steal!"
