Hi,
I've been trying to convince myself NOT to buy Marshall 2525X in a good price recently(as I'm still getting money for friedman be-100, torpedo reload etc.)
I sat there trying as much as possible to get my dual rec vintage similar to said marshall with some really good results (at least in my opinion; both with and without boost).
That got me thinking about the whole "mesa won't ever sound as marshall" phrases all over the Net.
Isn't recto tonestack basically the same tonestack as marshall? Weren't SLO/5150/Recto in fact aiming to get that modded US(california?)-spiced british sound? So summing it up shouldn't be they be considered in fact hot-rodded marshalls? (And as we know almost all the amp designs are some mods of other designs).
Just some holiday philosophy/amp history debate... or medical and I'm tonedeaf
