Nice-sounding :), even if the internet sound quality isn't that good.
Petersburg amps are also able to produce this kind of sound, a friend
had one + Marshall speakers, it's written that it should be the Russian
copy of the 70ies 2203 amps with master volume. It's also written that
the 800 amps from the 80ies should be equal to the 2203 from the 70ies.
The best punk-rocking sound I ever could play was a SG with a Marschall
without master volume, both neither the Gibson, nor the amp were mine. I
heard very good recordings done with Laney amps from the 80ies. Btw. I'm
using a Boss OD-2, transistors aren't that bad.
I guess that people who like Metallica's non-rocking pop sound (no
offense, but it's hard to describe the differences by words) could be
fine with plugins, but people who prefer MC5 and other punk-rocking
sound, better do recordings using amps, when ever possible.
IMO it depends to the kind of music, if a plugin is enough. I need
plugins, resp. hardware emulations out of necessity.
Hello Ralf,

You should have a chat with the other guitarist of my band ;) He did
several gigs in Germany with his other band, maybe you've heard of them
(Omission). He owns a JCM800 1959 from the 80ies. But it's too hot for
me (I think his pre-amp stage needs some care), I like a clean, clear
sound with ringing highs but still a lot of oomph. The combination of my
guitar (the Yamaha) and the amp+cabinet give me that. I also like it as
clean as possible so I can color my sound better. And with coloring I
mean as transparent as possible, so no OD-2 for me ;) (I use a Fulltone
Full-Drive 2 Mosfet and 2x Ibanez Mostortion through a Wobo
looper/switcher).
Never heard of Petersburg amps, I did some Googling but contrary to
Petersburg amps London City amps are point-to-point and slightly better
build.
Best,
Jeremy
