Plexi and boosted jcm 800 based amp

[SloeGin]

Hey guys,

I was wondering what amp does a plexi and a boosted jcm 800 sound PLUS sounds good on bedroom volume and isnt noisy?
I was considering Friedman but they are too expensive sadly

Thanks for the help!

My boy @Mitchell Pearrow sounds pretty good here with the Origin. I've never had one of these amps but it sure sounds like one that takes a boost very well:

And now the Origin 50H
Mid power settings SD1
Same riff
I also had matched the amp settings to hear the difference’s.

Thanks

Laney AOR 50 and a attenuator.

CERIATONE.
They make Friedman copies, but they have much better sounding options too!

I'm gassing for a Ceriatone SOY, or the Modulus JTM50 black flag.

A used Splawn Quick Rod can be had for around $1,000 USD. Great loop return master volume.

My vote?

Origin with one of Friedman's pedals. I use the BE-OD Deluxe.

You'll get the poor man's version of a Friedman amp.

Don't forget the e.q. in the loop. My Origin 20 is pretty damn cool with that pedal combo.

Like I said, it's not a Friedman, but you'll get very close with that rig.

Good luck.

Best amp for that sound is a Jcm 800 with an SD1. They can do that sound all day long and are close to a boosted plexi sound because that’s what they’re based on. No need to spend thousands on Friedman amps etc.

I can agree with this statement since I have this setup.

Where are you finding quickrods for a grand?!

You just described the characteristics of the Marshall Vintage Modern. Incredibly versatile amp, quiet, reliable, does indeed plexi and hotrodded JCM 800.

Try a Bogner Goldfinger: JTM cleans, JMP crunch and JCM distortion/lead.

The Victory Sheriff (22 or 44) fits your description exactly.

Agree on the Origin series

Marshall vintage modern 2466. Add a Zakk Drive or tube screamer for more

I was going to say the same thing. I own an Origin 20C and it does the Plexi sound really well (it's not a high gain amp) and makes a great pedal platform for our OD/Dist/Fuzz and modulation.

Craigslist, FaceBook marketplace. All three of the Splawns I've had I've picked up for between $950-1,150.
