If he is saying combos are gay, then I cup the balls with gusto. My hardwood Mrak IV gives me hard wood.
LOL!

I won't lie. It's one of the best amps I've ever owned.
Mayhap I shall, mayhap I shall...
Lol, a few years back, if anyone had tried to tell me I'd be following in the footsteps of Chuck Nutz/Ehud Olmert/Ricky Bobby/Ron Burgandy, I'd prolly have vomitted in amusement. Who'd'a thunk it?

Yeah, we're also missing Norton's and somebody else's posts praising the Fender Super Sonic combos. I just found Billy's announcement about moving to the new servers and it said some posts were in fact lost ~ the last "save" of the forums on the old servers was last night @ 8:45, I think.
But we remember, dammit ... we will always remember!
(Thank God this wasn't one of those old fashioned religious flame wars ... I'd've been apoplectic, lol!

To be fair I learned my Marshall love from Telephant so you can rest your mind
But seriously, it's a Jubilee in a 1x12 combo with an fx loop, ckean channel and a 50 watt power section. Takes pedals well, does leads well, has the Marshall crunch and a 1/2 power switch. All from the factory.
I like the Supersonic 22, seems like it would be a gig friendly piece of gear to me. It has everything I would want in a small, grab and go kind of way...reverb, two channels, not too heavy, loop, plus it sounds pretty good.

Though if you want fatter, smoother and darker the 2554 will be a good choice. I had a 2205 and liked it a lot. (the 50 watt head version of the combo you posted) Nothing wrong with the 800 at all but tonally I personally prefer the Jube version. Ymmv

I prolly would too, tbh, Dave ... but a quick check of the likely price differential had me saying "800, me luv u long time!!!"
Honestly, I'd LOVE one of those silver faced Jube 1x12s, but I don't see one being likely unless someone goes temporarily insane and offers a stoopid deal on theirs ~ y'know, like you did w/ the Plex?

Really?? Dang. Right after I got mine I saw one on tgp for like $900. It was a black tolex model like mine and not the coolio silver version but whatevs. The 2555 satisfies the exclusive silver thing for me but the 2554 has more of a mid range honk.

Yeah, mang. I haven't looked very long or very seriously, but I didn't see any in the <$1K range, and most were like $13-1400.
So much as I'd like the Hoodoo & e-cred of having one, I may just keep my eye open for a "less desireable" (SHHH!!! ) model, gnome sane?

Chuck Nutz wrote:Oh shit, yeah if there is that much of a difference it's a no brainer. Dat 800 killed for me.
Inorite? A clean channel that crunches, and a crunch channel that roars ... I can't think of a gig I couldn't play with that, esp. if I had a good od up front and a clean boost in the loop for solos. Not that I wouldn't also use a dozen pedals, but with a combo like that, I could quite comfortably play a whole show with just two.
I was thinking the combos were roughly the same price. How much is a 2205 1x12 combo? (whatever that model is called)
Haven't checked. I just know the old cliche' about "get the one channel 800, the channel switchers have <dramatic GASP> diodes! Lol ... Well, I may not know tone, but I know what I like.
Y'know, as in "I may not know art, but I know what I like!"
