Super Lead, Super Bass, and a Variac’d “brown” sound

It’s about goddamn time.

Sounds promising, I hope Pete does a demo.

It’s literally Eddie and EJ (among others) in a box.

James is an EJ fanboy so I’m not surprised he added the EP preamp.

 

[HotRats]

Nice addition this one

The options are pretty disappointing. Plexi, Plexi without bright cap and Plexi with variac. JTM45/Superlead/JCM800 would have been way better.

I'm sure they have something like that planned too. For me this is a perfect selection.

If UA had a Marshall version I would’ve done this long ago

Here ya go!

Awesome - sounding very good!

Giving the Friedman IRX some competition

Some outrageously cool Marshalls in James's collection, but I've heard that sweetwater rep say "pray tell" twice within 3 minutes and if he says it again Im jumping off a bridge. Quite cool to have a Super Lead, Super Bass and variac'd model in the same unit. There's so many variations of that circuit that they could have easily had 6 amps in there or different years and models (JTM45/JTM50/JTM100/1987/1959/1986/1992 as well as the variations between years) but I'm guessing they've found some particularly desirable units.

Interesting. Clips sound good but I’ve been fooled so many times by clips.

I would be disappointed if you weren’t disappointed.

Youtube and clip caveats aside - it sounds waaay better than Fender's attempts in the TMP.

The Woodrow was a dumb purchase for me but for that thing it does;

This will be more of that I'm betting \m/

Me: “I really love tweed amps and play tweed models most of the time. Woodrow was made just for me. Knobs for everything - should be great!”

Three days later: “yup, just like the FM3, Helix, and several plugins I have, this is a great sounding tweed. Also, it’s a tweed. Volume and tone controls. The worst of the worst UI is still going to be bone simple with these amps”

Similarly Marshall EQs are basically "does not do anything drastic" so those aren't too tricky to work with either. Real knobs > virtual knobs tho!

Having an actual reverb on-board >> real knobs

Oh that looks cool for people who want the amp in a pedal thing.
