that one's definitely got a very unique clean sound. would love to get a model of that in the Axe.I will never forget my GK because I used it when being a session player on a studio recording from where a radio hit eventually came out and every time I hear a song on the radio with me am my 250 ml I miss it badly. I picked that combo by ear in a music store; it was the amp that sounded best of all and at the time it was new and I knew nothing about it. What caught my ear was the low latency, much faster response than the tube amps I had played up until then. Solid state design and small 10" built-in speakers, very fast and responsive amp. He, he... sorry for the nostalgic outburst.
Hence the reason for picking this up. You gotta follow the Trail. Alex has been thinking about using the Axe more go forward and Cliff is just doing due diligence and getting his amps into the system, so next year all his amps will all be there. Now he just needs to get A gallien Krueger 250 ml. Wouldn't you want to be the guy that Researches bands for what Amps they used and then pro cure them for future releases of the software. I want that Job.
Holy crap, I had one of those in the early '80s (it's long gone). For a little solid-state amp the thing did sound damn good.
think he was talking about the Gallien Krueger.I thought the Marshall Club and Country was a tube amp?
I still have my 250 ml. Works perfect. Even after I dropped it down a flight of concrete steps in 1987 it still worked. Just had to replace a pot. About 5 years ago I replaced the original 6 in speakers. The rubber surrounds on the originals went bad. You plug that little thing into two 4x12s and you are good to go.

Well, that goes to show how my memory works. Still, I was pretty sure the Moving Pictures amps were the 100W lead combos.
As mentioned above, the C&C is an attempt at the Twin Reverb sound.
Cliff, awesome on the C&C tip. Get with xlb3x and please get the GK 250ML in the axe. Then we will only need one more for the trifecta of necessary solid state amps (Rockman, JC-120 and GL250).
Sweet. I got pretty close using the HiPower Brilliant (which I don't even think was used on Moving Pictures). I would love to see if I could get noticeably closer with the C&C. His guitar tone was a blended sound. Many engineers multitrack and blend obviously so nothing that ground breaking there. I saw a documentary on the making of Moving Pictures where they specifically play back Alex's guitar parts on Tom Sawyer and it's 3 radically different guitar tones. The C&C could be one more piece of the puzzle. Here's a link to my recent YYZ tone match (by ear) if anyone is interested at all.Which is one of the amps Alex used on Moving Pictures IIRC.
