Wanted: Info on a good Marshall Plexi clone....help?

None better than Germino in my opinion. Not exactly in your "surrounding area," however.

 

Werd!

 

Little closer and great amps

Peters amps are in Canada not sure where he can build you anything?
Stephenson is also in Canada not so sure if he does plexi perse, he has his own unique thing going and I am sure you can get plexi sound out of one of his.

There's gotta be alot of old Traynors floating around your neck of the woods. Why not buy an old Traynor YBA-1 and have it modded to plexi specs. There 95% of the way to plexi anyway and you'd save some serious cash.

Maven Peal is in Vermont that is kind of in the northeast section of the continent. Is that close enough? Your Plexi will be more then 50 or 100 it will 1 to 100

 

I do. From time to time.

Thanks for the compliment. However I don't build clones. If you want something which has a plexi sound to it I do build something along those lines, but it's my own design with my own approach. I'm also not a big fan of non-MV designs in general.

 

I responded on the Plexi Palace BB,,,you owe it to yourself to try the YBA-1. It is a Canadian Plexi, its PTP wired, and reliable as hell. Some think it sounds better than a Plexi.

From what I've read there are only a few minor deviations from the Plexi circuit. A good tech should be able to get the Traynor to be identical to a plexi without much trouble. I think the best model to get would be the 50 watt yba-1 because the yba-1A puts out about 90 watts with 2 el-34's and would kill small animals before it actually started breaking up. Here's a couple links:

small animals are over-rated

From what I know, this guy is supposed to be the real deal, makes great PTP boards to put in reissue amps or your own do it yourself clones, however I think he'd build you one from scratch as well.

I've seen a few Canadians on this board rave about his products and as far as I know, he lives in Toronto. Don't take my word for it, just drop him a line and see what he says, his name is Martin
