Fargen Mini-Plex MKII

[Mike]

The Mini Plex captures all of your favorite British high gain and classic rock tones but with a new twist. Our patented "Decade Switch" gives you 3 different classic sounds/gain structures and then drives a cathode biased power section that offers a more harmonically complex top end than your standard fixed bias design. New features include the killer London Power scaling circuit designed by Kevin O'Connor which allows you to run the amp anywhere from 12 watts down to below a 1/2 watt for the ultimate low volume jamming,new Classic vs.VOS mode switch and an all new cosmetic design! Whether you're in the studio or on the stage this amp has you covered!

Really good Marshall type sounds, from 12W down to a not even TV bothering 1/2 Watt:

it's not cheap at $1600 but still, it sounds great I think.

Lolz, the dials go to 11.

Looks sexy (apart from the logo), will check out dem tones tonight.

[Mike]

The single coil demo is a little blues wanky unfortunately, the humbucker one is a little more impressively Chunky as he's chording.

[Sublimedo]

Oh man. it was going so well until..

it's not cheap at $1600 but still, it sounds great I think.

it does sound great. I'd love something marshally for the garage, eventually.

Combo looks hot hot hot.

[Mike]

The aesthetics are great, logo aisde. I would imagine that is easly removed though.

Sub, Tiny Terror is Marshally (I think anyway).

Compared to my Twin, most things are pretty marshally but i dig the idea of eventually getting a TT to record in my room with.

[Mike]

They're also a very fun practise amp, they record a dream though.

Was thinking the exact same thing, would look miles better with no plate.

[Mike]

Combo is beauty though, that shot from above angle is bonerpants

[Doog]

Again, much agreed. I love the way they look, always wonder how annoying having the dials there would be in a live situation though..

[euan]

I think chicken knobs are much better if you are doing the vertical control plate.

[Mike]

I never gigged with my VoxAD50Vt which had the knobs on the top. They were chicken heads but it was Digital so I don't know if that counts.

Does it Count?

[euan]

Did it have an inbuilt calculator?

[Bacchus]

I like that, but would rather have A THD Flexi 50.

Very different amps I suppose.
