what the differance in tone, i love my 18 plexi by far the best sounding 18 ive built was thinking about the next build trying s111 i havent side by side viewed the amps layouts. altought the 18 plexi is somewhat dark i love it and it gets the most playing time its got a great chruch its very inspiring, with great controlled feedback overtones, just looking for some input thanks mark

The sIII is a little cleaner and not quite as agresive. Subtle. You want chnage - go to the TMB or cascade the Normal into the TMB channel.

The sIII is a medium gain amp and is voiced to do the early plexi/JTM45 sound very nicely. The range of tone is from spanky clean to Marshall grind. You can get a great Clapton Bluesbreaker sound and Hendrix as well. This amp can handle Blues-Rock, Country & Reggae. The Second channel (Normal Channel) is same configuration as the Tremolo channel from the original 18 watt design but without Tremolo.

The Plexi is voiced to sound period correct for a Marshall Plexi Lead. Screaming guitar lead tones at a much lower volume. The amp can thump and grind with less compressed tone than the other 18 watt variants. The Second Channel (Normal Channel) provides way more overdrive than most 18 watt normal channels while the Plexi channel is capable of the best clean sound we have ever heard come out of an 18 watter. With a pair of greenbacks, you'll be shocked how period correct it sounds. Crank up the gain and you are in crunch tone heaven. The clean boost just adds another dimension, it nails all those old AC-DC tones dead on and has way more gain on tap if needed.

The TMB amp is a high gain amp that does the 80s sound very nicely. It is intended for musicians who want plenty of grind. It does ZZTop very nicely. It is both responsive and aggressive. The second channel is the Normal channel from the original 18 watt design. This amp does classic rock crunch to metal.

Mark are you talking about a Trinity Plexi or a Richard Johnson (rjgtr) 18W Plexi? Those are two quite different amps.

Just ping Stephen @ Trinity for faceplates. Although they're not on the price list, he might have a spare set around he could sell you.

I have test Post PI MV but it did not work too good but possibly I should have tried to tune feedback circuit? Anyhow I decided to skip PPIMV before I study it more whicn there are many in internet..
