way more fun to build your own Jose to taste from a Plexi. Add a gain stage, master volume, clipping diodes, tinker with tone stack, presence circuit and NFB as you see fit. The cool thing is you can configure whichever mods you like.
POSSIBLY my favourite thing about Fractal devices
100%. After the modded 800 amp got shown at NAMM I screwed around with the stock 800 model in the Axe and after flipping two switches (sat switch and FAS boost) the thing was a fire breather. You can hot rod all these classic amps with just a couple clicks. It was a good reminder that you can soup up these classic amps to compete with the more modern uber gainez amps, and they actually sound a little more raw, natural, open (pick a descriptor)
