Doug Doppler has been working on something similar although he's taking it to the extreme and doing pedals, processors, amps, etc.

The second clip is the AFD channel. My friend actually mislabeled them. #34 is the modded 800 channel, it's engaged when the LED is off, when the LED is lit it's the AFD mode, which is based on a modded plexi

Very interesting work elcid! thanks for sharing this.

I liked the AFD labbeled one also the most. Stood out to me instantly. So what amp is that in the end ?

But in general I would have expected more difference as well between all the amps (they all are marshalls in the end so I guess this logical). I suppose the feel they have is different as well, maybe you could add a little info about that as well elcid ? Just an idea

The last one is the 6100. Hopefully we will get some time to make a real video just of that one. It does so much that a small clip like that really doesnt do it justice.

I really don't think the YJM was given a fair shake in the video, but for comparison purposes we set the eqs all similiar and I find Plexis to be very bright sounding amps, so no one in their right mind would use it with that setting. I'd like to give it a second chance because I really think that it's an incredible amp.

I was all ready to ditch the AFD, but the video convinced me otherwise. If one ever needs to go now, I think the Jubilee would be the first.

I was surprised by both the 900 and the 2210. I had the combo version of the 2210 and hated it. I vouldn't understand the 900 when my friend bought it new. I tried to talk him out of it but after all these years I guess my taste changes a little and now I really liked that amp

Yeah like I said - from that video it seemed like the YJM had a lot of potential - I'm sure with a bit of fiddling it would sound deadly.

. . . . and John 5 uses a JCM900 pretty regularly. I wonder if one day they'll become collectors items too

I just got John 5's new disk last night. I guess it isn't supposed to come out until Tuesday, but the store had it out already. It kills.

Marshall already re-issued the 900, but there seems to be a lot of people that don't like them still. I guess time will tell
