It seems that at Marshall started to do things in the right way. This one is very close to the real mc coy (it lacks the process called "aging" for obvious reasons) and vastly a better product than the super nasty vintage series. Thanks to God this one has no the crappy send/return feature, no bloody channel switching and simple tone controls, just what the doctor ordered 40 years ago. Compare the weight of this beauty with respect to the vintage series, it weights much more why? Answer: better transformers and better components overall and real wire.

If we are talking about sound quality and overall quality, I hope that Marshall will continue over this path. The only one possible for a company that "gave birth to rock and roll".

I tour with 3 original plexis and this one fits in the family nicely, loud but not tinny or harsh. I'm happy that they got the sound right. The non hand wired reissue sounds all wrong this one is right, finally. If you want it loud and pleasant like the old days this is the amp for you

I play other plexis regularly and it fits in sonically. I've got 3 real plexis 4 71 superleads, 3 2210 800's a 69 major, I might get another one and sell some 71 heads, definately if I lost it I'd get another. I Love it, plexi is the tone I dig. I've been playing professionally for 24 years. You might as well buy one its the real thing not a goofy boutique amp for Lawyers and Doctors.
