Vox Top Boost + Marshall Crunch + Mesa High gain in one AMP??

[borisson]

just wondering if there is something like that out there...effects loop is a must, high gain should be kind of a mesa rectifier ...3 channels
thanks

[LPMojoGL]

That's asking a lot.
The Fryette Sig:X doesn' really do Vox chime, but has a great clean channel that can be dialed in for all kinds of sounds and pushed to breakup.
Marshallish crunch and Mesaish heavy tones also available.

Check out oldfield amps. He's got an amp that has one channel "vox" and one channel "Marshall". I played a friends once and it blew me away!! Not sure about the Mesa thing. 2 outa three isn't bad :)

Mesa Mark V has options that can get in the ballpark on all three of these sounds. That or an AxeFx with poweramp ;-)

[borisson]

thanks...i do have a Mark V, you can not dial in a top boost vox kind of chime with Mark V..

[TimH]

i had good success in my demo with the second channel and that bright setting...

Have you played the Line6 DT50? It's a fully analog tube amp that will do all those sounds...albeit not perfectly. What you're asking for is more than any tube amp can accomplish due to the necessary changes in component values, tubes and tone stacks...

65 Empire?

[gtr37]

I have to go with Tim on this one
The Line6 DT50 does the vox ,fender and hi gain well.I did not love there Marshall setting but YMMV
Also rumor is maybe a new DT at NAMM with a ton more models

[zombieskank84]

Randall mts series was made for you. Modular preamps, fx loop, bias points with interchangable tubes. You can even mix tubes 6l6 with el34 for example.

65 Empire?

noting they do comes close to boogie high gain...

The Morgan 3.8 does the high gain Vox and Marshall thing.

It's called Tranatlantic/Royal Atlantic... You forgot Fender Tweed. Yeah, it has that too...

i do own transatlantic ta30.... it does nice top boost vox kind of sound but no boogie/rectifier high gain..its vintage voiced amp
royal atlantic has no vox voicing, its fender + marshall/marshall high gain

i can get close by switching between my two amps: mark v + ta 30
just looking for an alternative in one amp

Sorry I came off like I own Mesa Boogie. :bonk

The TA's are still a lot of amp tho. Maybe a Mini Rec is in your future?

[tele_jas]

I'd buy that amp!

My favorite clean and semi-clean is AC30 and my favorite high-gain is a Dual Rectifier and I love the Marshall crunch. Yeah, I'd buy that!

+1.

[Rockett]

1. Matchless King Cobra gets you close!!!

2. Jackson Amp Works Britain (JTM 45 and Top Boost in one)

Not too many but the above are great amps!!

TA30 is great amp imho

thanks...i do have a Mark V, you can not dial in a top boost vox kind of chime with Mark V..
It does to my ears. Channel 2 on Edge mode. Treble at 1:00, mids dimed, presence at 1:00, bass set to taste. Massive chime.

Channel 3 Extreme mode is a nice recto'ish tone but tighter and smoother.

So that leaves the Marshall tone: use channel one on clean with a pedal.

About as close as you can get without buying the actual amps themselves or a modeling amp.

Comparing with the TA30 top boost i couldnt get there yet with the mark v....i spend most of time in the edge mode...i would say its more of a marshall thing imho, at least edge mode was very very close when i did the A/B with my ex ceriatone 1959 superlead clone

But when I dime the mids and turn up the treble and presence it takes on a much more Vox like chime and high end. It helps that I'm using Celestion Blues for speakers.

I will say that to get a true clean Vox tone you can't get there with the Mark V. I like a little dirt in my "clean" tones so Edge mode works for me as a Vox'ish facsimilie.

Do you have a Vox clip you're trying to replicate? I'm curious to see if I can cop that tone on the Mark V.

Im using V30...im sure with blues i could get closer...im not after very clean vox...more after that top boost kind of break up and chime

[borisson]

Can be built by any chance?

[StaticAge]

Line 6 DT25 or DT50 will get you very close :)

This is one of the reasons I use a modeler now...
