Even with the crappy video camera audio, the amps sounds great.

Nice and crunchy, but with good definition. Almost seems to have a boosted Marshall sound at times?

Very nice! I really like stock amps but this might work.

Thanks guys.
The choke really does help tighten things up with the 5150.
Gain past 6 on the lead channel gets very messy and unusable, IMO, on the stock model.
The choke really lets you open her up.
It also helps a lot with noise.

You got me on the Marshall, Mullard Man. I couldn't help dialing her in with the mids on 10 to get that tone. Never a big fan of a scooped tone.
