[QUOTE="bobbyphillipps, post: 161555, member: 4378"] I don't have the 800 module to compare it to (though I think that's my next module), but the blue channel of the Ecstasy can get pretty close to what I think an 800 should sound like with the schizo switch in the top position, as well as some squishier high gain plexi-ish tones (a la early EVH). However, I find the red channel is extremely compressed and loose, has an absurd amount of gain on tap, and I hardly have a use for it. It's also, in my experience, one of the noisier modules in the red channel, lots of hiss/noise floor. If I'm using the Ecstasy, it's for the blue channel. From what I've heard from the demos out there on the 800 module, it nails that sound, and I'm probably gonna get my filthy mitts on it here soon. Of the modules I have, and based purely on my own opinion, the SLO will get you into that high-gain Marshall territory. The Deliverance can do a lot of those tones too, but it's got that signature Fryette "dryness," which you'll either love or hate (I adore it). It's an extremely dynamic and punchy tone. Of the modules I DON'T have, I would look at the 800, BE, and HBE modules. They've all got Marshall DNA, and are all Friedman-designed. [/QUOTE]
