Except you changing the Tonestack in the HBE to Plexi. More open, more raw, then raise the MV, it’s worth experimenting.+1 that trick perhaps work for the BE channel, but definitely not for the HBE imo.
I’ve tried that but it didn’t do it for me. I guess the HBE is a but smooth when it comes to the higher gain marshall thing, and I’ve come to realise I’m more of a JCM person when going high gain in Marshall-land. In that regard, I’m more inclined towards the awesome new Brit Silver that you mentioned than the “mod-ed” HBE.Except you changing the Tonestack in the HBE to Plexi.

The Brit silver is a killer if you turn on the saturation switch set to 4.44 it gives it a really nice bite roll back the gain a bit to find the sweet spotI’ve tried that but it didn’t do it for me.

Dude, I just wanted to say thank you so much. I never gave the Cameron or Splawn models much thought when I first got my FM9 a year ago, and it's thanks to this comment that I've been experimenting with all the awesome amps I've passed over. The Nitro has somehow taken the spot of the JCM800 in my heart2203, SV20H, 1970 Plexi, 6CA7, CCV, Ecstasy, Nitro 1... so many greats in there and I cycle through them every now and then. The CCV and Nitro are for high gain duties only, though. The CCV 2B for tight modern metal stuff, and Nitro for Recto-type tones. The other amps are way too versatile to be pigeon-holed because they can do pretty much anything.
Edit: also the JVM Oranges. Fantastic high gain amps.
Cheers, mate! The Cameron and Splawns do have that extra bit of refinement that makes them shine a little brighter than the rest! I was surprised by the Nitro, too. It has such a percussive low-end yet sounds open. Gotta crank that treble and presence, tho.Dude, I just wanted to say thank you so much.
