Sounds awesome:) Are you going to post any Cream/Hendrix-style clips anytime soon? That's more of what I go for personally. Gotta sell some stuff first but I'm interested in buying one.
I own a few hot rod amps, and love Diezel amps, but this M50 is amazing, it has a beautiful TONE, the M100 is as impressive, a base price of around $1,599 for something that actually sound as good or better than a plexi and it's brand new, it is a steal.
If i have to decide between Granger , a Marshall or a EVH, I would go for Granger,
@drino5150 No attenuator. Effects were added from Roland 1680 during conversion. if you can get the voltage to 110 it will sound a little browner, since my wall voltage is around 122-124 most of the time. "Better" is of course, subjective.
@skunizzi Do a search for Granger Amps - JCM800 2204 Replica by willywonkerful. I wish more of my customers would post clips. Can't really answer that except to guess that 1) They don't have video/recording setups, 2) they are too busy, or 3) they don't use YouTube. I would love to get a clip of Willian Duvall from Alice in Chains playing his M50.
@skunizzi I just got my hands on a M-50 Plexi and the tone is killer without any effects. Purple with white Snake skin tolex. I use a MOFO 2X12 cabinet its a perfect match. Sorry no video capabilities :(
I have bragging rights My serial number is #1 so I guess I have the 1st one out there ever sold.
@Dyna6363 It's not the #1 M50, I own that. ;-) It's actually a custom M50 I built that became the prototype M502 Solo Plexi. So congrats on having the #1 of that model.
@skunizzi Yes, every day, except weekends when we're closed. I reply to every single email I receive. That said, if you didn't receive a reply, check your spam filters and add grangeramp d o t com to your whitelist.
I like this amp. I don't get to say (or type) those words very often. I had a few "plexi" style amps that all claimed to be just like the originals and they weren't even just like each other, and none sounded all that amazing to me. I briefly played through a JMP and also a JTM-something with KT66's, and liked them both, but not enough to sell my car. This amp seems tighter and more focused than other el34 amps, and definitely has more clarity and note definition. I'm impressed.
@grangeramp I'm on your mailing list...I just seen the 20 watt version with variance...VERY impresive! I still like this one for my needs...
I'm waiting on selling my EVH3 before I can move on buying one of your great amps...I think your amps sounds better than the EVH3 I own...
I've jumped around buying and selling amp heads tone chaseing...Bugera plexi, Soldano hotrod 50+ and now the EVH3...Your amps have a life time waranty make it a no brainer...I hope to do bussiness real soon...
@adam10603 Very similarly. Main differences: Metro - higher price, master volume is a $25 add-on. Ceriatone - Asian made transformers (which I can't offer an opinion on since I've never used them), and shipping/import costs. Marshall - much higher price, no master volume. All very cool, great sounding amps. George and Nik do great work. I don't think any of the mentioned companies offer a lifetime warranty to the original owner like I do, except Metro. I use ClassicTone transformers, made in USA
to my surprise, a plexi is a very versital amp. I didn't think it was! You can go from big sounding hendrix cleans, through AC/DC, all the way to almost hi-gain Van Halen tones. Wow!!
I purchased this model Granger about 6 months or so ago and I have to say it is THE BEST amp I have ever owned. I am 49 yrs. old and have owned a pile of amps - boutique to vintage. This amp is just right for me in terms of compression - it is solid and chunky when you need it but also gives it up on the sustain when you need it - all without ever sucking tone. Also, the master volume is the most usable master volume I've ever heard (I usually hate master volumes). I will NOT be selling this amp
hey i have a question, first off this is one of the best marshall tone amps i ever heard, i have heard many fargen,splawn,metro ect. either way this sounds kind of like a plexi meets jcm 8, am i way off base here. i feel it has a significant more amount of gain the a true plexi, its not a bad thing at all i even love it, its just an observation. what do you think?
@EMGlespaulMESA Thank you. That's a very good assessment. It will do early Plexi tones spot on, as well as tones with more gain than a stock Plexi, a la Van Halen, etc.
Excellent sound..do you make these with a half power option. I'd be great to have a 50 watt halfed to 25 watts. I'd get one immediately if you have that option.
@PinkyWontWork The amp uses a pair of EL34. Most companies who offer "half power" switches on amps that only use 2 power tubes are switching them from Pentode to Triode mode, which affects the tone as well as reduce output. This is not true half power, so yes I could add the switch, but I wouldn't call it half power. You could add VariWattage and scale the power to whatever you wanted however, or simply use the very effective Master Volume provided stock on the amp.
I just got a M502 and let me tell you, it IS this good. This is what a really GOOD SOUNDING PLEXI sounds like. The extra master control is a simple yet extremely useful option. Has a cool 'deep' switch on the back if you happen to get into a 'volume unfriendly' environment. It allows you to add some low end without blowing peoples heads off. Although it sounds best turned up, it is still a very nice tone when at less than 'normal' plexi saturation levels. AWESOME!!! BUY ONE!!!!!!!!!
this is kind of a dumb question about the PPIV mod (ive been hearing about it alot), does it allow you to crank the volume up to ten and the use a master volume? kinda like having a preamp volume almost?
I just picked up one of these M50's off ebay and all I can say is "I'M NOT SELLING MINE"! This video sounds awesome and the amp in person sounds even better. This is dead on the tone I've been looking for most of my life. (I've actually never been able to afford a vintage Marshall plexi.) Thank you for making these great amps!!! This amp rocks!!! I'm proud to have a Granger amp setting on top of my cab!
I've probably watched this clip 20 times in the last week and all I keep saying to myself is that is what a "REAL" tone should sound like. I am totally impressed and cannot wait to get my hands on one. What is the wait time for one of these amazing tone generators?
Very sweet, crunchy, & just what all modern amps seem to lack, except Orange, let alone bloody modelling! Modelling should be left to airplanes & boats!!!
Wow.. That's an amazing sound! This I without doubt the closest I have heard to eddies vh1 sound! This amp has 90% ed's tone.. The other 10% is deffinately in his fingers and no one will ever capture that..
You made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.A reminder to us all how fab the sound eddie made.A fab repro job, now if only i could play eddies solos...
hi i am wondering where you can buy these?? i hav looked around the web and cant find any for sale, if anyone knows where to buy them please tell me (i live in the UK)
@RNRDOLL Yes, "Plexi" is a term that has come to be associated with tone, not so much the material used for the faceplate. Mine are plexi - acrylic, but I can also do metal for a small upcharge. Thanks!
I'm also wondering if you can do a mod to this head to get that kind of cranked awnch tone in this vid at low volumes? Like a master volume type mod etc.? I have so many loud amps and would love this tone @ a low volume. [Please let me know a.s.a.p. so I can start selling off gear to pay for one of these]. lol
OMG That is the classic brown sound nailed dead on! I love my PV 5150 combo and have way too many amps / axes. But this blew me away! It's sounds killer on my crappy PC speakers! BTW: What speakers are you using in the cab? And is that 4X12 under the cover? I want this head badly! (drool)
curt, could you make a video like this one of your 2204? i cant decide whether to get the m50, the superplexi or the 2204. what are the major differences between them? thanks. they all sound great.
Are the volumes jumped internally? I patch mine together and would give anything be able to control both volumes with one knob. Not interested in a master volume mod as such, just a way to combine the controls.
@grangeramp Kurt. Thanks for the reply. Just so I'm clear. You are NOT jumping the channels either internally or through the front panel? Just plugged straight into 1/1? The amp sounds killer. Way 'browner' than the Bray mods IMHO.
Hey Ironsixx . . . a 100 watt amp may have 50 watts more power but it will not sound 50 watts louder. The difference in volume between the two is barely noticeable, maybe three decibels overall. For a 50 watt amp to sound twice as loud you would need a 500 watt amplifier. In other words, take the wattage of you amp and multiply by 10 to get the wattage required to sound twice as loud.
@Ironsixx Close, but not really, but then no amp will sound the same on 2 as it does on 5, 6, or 10. Folks, I'll say it again, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE SPEAKERS WORKING AS PART OF THE 'TONE EQUATION.' =)
hey man you have a great amp there and awesome skills i wanna get the evh tone but i cant get it with a bugera v22 what amp should i get for under 700 bucks that can get me in this type of evh tone
I had to comment again, I've got em all & that tone buddy is the JEM to them all ... No better Amp built. I'll be making a purchase soon & it will be hitting every stage on the EAST COAST !!!
I play mleodic death metal does this get enough gain un like most dudes that play death metal i dont go for the mesa rectifed sound i go for a nice warm british tone
Incredible Job Curt, I do a "VH SHOW" & would love to have The GRANGER Name up on the stage with me. I have to get in touch with you. Simply Magic Dude !!!
Hi Curt, what kind of pickup did you use on this record?...i'd like to know if it could be sounds similarly with SD '59 reissue or similar...i have a Dimarzio Evolution but i'm thinking about something else...
That is TONE!

Sounds just like my JCM 800. Nice.

Hey Ironsixx . . . a 100 watt amp may have 50 watts more power but it will not sound 50 watts louder. The difference in volume between the two is barely noticeable, maybe three decibels overall. For a 50 watt amp to sound twice as loud you would need a 500 watt amplifier. In other words, take the wattage of you amp and multiply by 10 to get the wattage required to sound twice as loud.

It nails his live tone circa 1981/82

Hey Curt.. Do you have to crank this amp to get this tone? i mean like can it sound the same at like 2?
Ironsixx 1 year ago
@Ironsixx Close, but not really, but then no amp will sound the same on 2 as it does on 5, 6, or 10. Folks, I'll say it again, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE SPEAKERS WORKING AS PART OF THE 'TONE EQUATION.' =)

Curt, What are the differences between the M50 and G50 Firestorm?? In your opinion, what amp matches the early VH tone better?? Killer tone!!
texsjam 2 years ago
so is this the same as the m100, only 50W less?
Ironsixx 2 years ago
Similar, but not the same. Different filtering, a few different values in the preamp.
grangeramp 2 years ago
