I had to tell someone and who better than the guys here who more than any other site helped me tweak my main build till i came up with what i thought was the ultimate high gain marshall. At least thats what i thought, but now i have some confirmation. I built one for a friend who raves about it to everyone, but that in itself didn't give me much confidence because he's just a home player and really has no idea how an amp works in a live mix. Anyways, he has a friend who has bought probably a dozen or more boutique amps over the last few years. My buddy is always telling me about this guy's latest acquisition. Money is no object to him. So my friend kept telling him about the amp i built for him and his friend asked to borrow it. Long story short, my friend just called me and told the guy flipped out over the amp and that his bandmates did as well. He wants me to build him one now. Granted, it's just one mans opinion, but from a guy who's owned a ton of high end boutique amps thats a pretty nice compliment IMO.
I must say, as good as i thought it was i really needed that confirmation from someone else to know it's not just me. After all, i've lived with this amp for about the last year and at this point the amazement wears off and i'm often left wondering is it really THAT good. Of course all it takes is to plug into other amps with big reps to realize it really is. I have mostn recently played thru a bogner and suhr badger, and i see mine as being easily better than those. It amazes me because i'm no tech and i shouldn't have been able to create something that sounds in the same league as these world class builders. But i guess if you have ears, drive, a little knowledge, and access to people like you guys it's not at all an impossible task, in fact just time consuming. Chuck, tubewell, Merlinb, cbarrow7625 and others here have been so helpful that i can't thank you guys enough. My ears guided me to the tone this amp makes, but you guys are responsible for helping me find ways to make that happen. Anyways, i just had to share my excitement, and who better to tell than youse guys.

taking to the guy who played it, it seems he mentioned the volume going down at one point. I have it here now and the volume is just gone ! I did a gig with mine and it sounded fabulous and no issues. So i don't think it's the design.
