Which amp(s) you'd like to see again (as reissue perhaps)?

Whats the difference in voice of the Ninja vs the Archetype and vanilla V2?

From what I understand and have read, it seems to have a more present high end. The Randalls can sound a little dark so it helps it out a bit. I will say I'm not 100% sure because not a lot of people seemed to have tried the sig Randalls and Randall themselves never explained the differences

It would be awesome if they reissued the Tremoverb combo with a series FX loop. I'm trying to buy less gear and I think I'm heading the right direction but that would be seriously tempting.

That combo was heavy as hell but man it was awesome. I didn't love the parallel FX loop which is probably why I sold it so many years ago.

Nostalgia for that amp is why I ended up buying the ToV head that I eventually sold to @BadSeed (because I nailed its tone on my FM9).

 

[crushingpetal]

No, I know, I just feel like you never hear people talking about them or playing them. They were solid as shit great sounding combos.

Word, totally.

(because I nailed its tone on my FM9).

Any tips for this? I use Recto1 Red. I get close enough, but I haven't nailed a ToV exactly. See my sig for some Recto1 Red stuff.

The blessed Gorilla combo amp.

Every night I dream about Ultralead

The word on the street is that Steve was working on an updated version before the pandemic threw everything out of whack. Not sure if things are back in whack yet, but Fryette is kind of known for taking a long time to bring stuff out. So I suspect it'll be years yet.

Do prototype amps count? Because Marshall was prototyping this amp that was supposed be a more stripped down, metal-oriented 2-channel JVM-sounding (according to Bjorn Gelotte's tech the guts are based on a JVM) amp while also introducing more features like a built-in gate, TS-esque boost, and a 3-way gain voicing switch. But it never saw production.

Marshall Doug Aldrich DLA Custom Prototype 1 of 2 2009 | Reverb

Very cool Marshall Prototype made for Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake, Dio, Deep Purple (touring)....(DLA - sharpie sig on the faceplate) and the amp was used by Doug and InFlames guitarist Björn Gelotte while in Europe.Amp is sophisticated, high-gain, a clean channel, reverb (either channel), and a ...

It was literally everything I wanted from a tube Marshall.

Yeah I used the Red Modern. I can't remember settings right now but will check later. I might be able to upload the block.

Forgot to mention the ADA MP-1 preamp I've played few years ago (& couldn't afford to buy by then as a teenager), the awesome solid state tech21 trademark 30 and the Randall Warhead of course... Damn nostalgia...

Ampeg Vh140c that is reliable.

 

[LCW]

IIC+ is a no brainer for me. Or even MK IV.

This Heavy Earth and SNK are both making modernized vh140s.

At least there's the JP2C. Guess that's the only Mark series Mesa would be interested in reissuing
(quietly begging for Pete of Chevelle to get a signature Mesa so they can give the Mark IV a similar treatment)

 

[Emperoff]

These looked like nuclear warfare and I loved it. I'm aware they were kinda shitty but a proper version of these would be insane.

Yeah but they are made in small batches, would be nice if something not so limited was reissued that you could try in a store. I might get the SNK eventually but didn't really care for the power amp used.

@crushingpetal Oops. I lied. I used Red Vintage.

I exported it but can't upload the file here. I put it on Fractal's FM9 Preset Exchange.

Mesa Tremoverb (amp block only)

I dialed in an amp block to match (by ear) my Mesa Tremoverb head when set to my favorite high gain setting. Someone asked me to share, so here it is. I dialed this in using the FM9 through an EVH 5150 III 50 watt head's power section through one side of a Mesa 4x12 Traditional cab. The routing...

This roar... I mean they still produce JCM 800, a 2203KK shouldn't be tough to reissue...

This is siiick! Thanks so much!

I think the only amp I'd care to see reissued is a Mark IIC+, only because I have no interest in buying one at current used prices and I'm curious if they're actually worth the hype. I assume it's not possible though as they've had plenty of chances to do it and I believe the JP2C is probably as close as they'll get.

Only other amps I can think of would be a real Dumble or Trainwreck, but for the same reasons. I don't really have any desire to own either but if I could buy one at the prices they actually cost new, they might be worth checking out over the plethora of clones.

Everything else I'd want is fairly readily available on the used market, so having new ones wouldn't really make sense IMO. Would rather see new products that innovate than old ones I can already buy.

It's probably possible, but Mesa just doesn't like reissuing amps. Only exception seems to be the Mark 1 which they reissued like... twice lol.
