Pretty close. For the 1/4 or less price I would certainly go with the Mig

Yeah the MIG is a real sleeper! One of the best amp deals out there@

The most interesting thing is that MIG can now be bought new for only $400 The creator of the MIG amplifier now lives in Russia and continues to produce these amplifiers.

The original guy sells them for $400? Or are you referring to the Electro Harmonix reissue?

Dig the playing..... Definitely prefer the Plexi over the EH.... Any mods? Bright cap? its hard to tell on my computer, it sounds like the channels are bridged.

@billl.4410 Жыл бұрын

No mods and no channel bridging. I was using an attenuator here (SPL Reducer) which does affect the tone a bit. The Plexi takes the attenuator better than the EHX. Without the attenuator they're a bit closer but the Marshall still wins.

Yeah, but a good bargain at $700 over the pricier Plexi.

@@billl.4410 An attenuator is a must with a Plexi.... I tried a master volume mod on one of my 1987x's and I wasn't thrilled. It seemed to lose something with the mv, so I took it out and went back to the attenuator. I have the Weber mass lite which seems to get along with my Plexis...

@billl.4410 Жыл бұрын

@Ken I agree. This amp has a master volume mod, which sounds pretty good, but for this clip I used the attenuator so both amps would have the same attenuation source. As for master volume mods, there are several different ways to do, I like the "Lar-Mar Type 2" that was designed by Ken Fisher. But ultimately, running the amp wide open and using the attenuator does yield better results, so yes I agree with you.

Seems slightly more headroom and bite with the Marshall over the Mig 50, but a nominal enough difference in a live setting that no one can tell.

Watching on the Kindle and the Marshall wins in this situation. Mig is virtually identical (mids sound different). Not sure you'd hear the difference in a mix or on-stage. I wanted a Mig from when Sovtek launched them, but I've got an old Carlsbro that has that sound.

@billl.4410 Жыл бұрын

thank you for watching and for your comment. Carlsbros are absolute sleepers. They're hard to find here in the US, but they sound great!

Yeah, it's a really cool amp. Kind of like a cross between a Bassman and a Marshall.

These types of amps need to be on for at least half an hour to get the tubes hot to hear them at their best.

I wonder what the Mig would sound like with el34s? Or Kt66s?

@billl.4410 8 ай бұрын

I'm planning to do that test eventually. I think EL34s would be cool with this amp

@goVLDaniel 5 ай бұрын

U can use *KT-66* , that more clarity & tight than *6П3С-Е (6L6/5881)* But u need to simple correct *bias* . This amp have big transformer (New handmade by Leonid Musaev Sovtek Mig-50 _made in Russia_ model 001 .I don't know about electro-harmonix). Sometimes I use this head with external amp with *EL34* (R&R power 150 50W-EL34) & sound very good, juicy and power low end. That's better then 6П3С-Е.
