Any love for the BRIT 800?

[Colorado Axeman]

I recently discovered this and think that it covers most 80s rock very well. It even has a nice clean tone... naturally compressed but not too much so.

The Brit 800 (JCM) is THE 80's rock tone.

Love the 800. One of my favorite Marshalls.

I love pairing it with different IRs. Brit 800 with cab 42 (Hiwatt) is my default sound in my band. I’ve always really gotten into pairing it with cab 166 (Rumble with a 121 mic).

I’m always curious what IRs people like. What do folks use with Brit 800?

Asking if there's any love for the Brit 800 is like asking does anyone like playing a Stratocaster. Or a Tele. Or a Les Paul.

this is my favourite recipe:

drive: T808
drive: 1
tone: 3.5
level: 7

amp - everything on default, except pres on 2.4

cabs in stereo cab block: factory 61 (fractal V30) and ownhammer Mar-60 V30 SP2

for lead, i bump the input trim to 2.5

not overly gainy, but tight and a nice bloom for lead.
