Anyone built the new Marshall 59 and JCM800?

I forget the pcb names. Just curious if anyone’s built and or tried both and which one you liked best. Also how well they compared to the Xotic SL Drive. I know they’re completely different circuits but which sounds more authentic and would having either AND the SL Drive be redundant? I’m waiting on the Golden Falk pcb to return to stock.

I have an original JCM800 pedal. It does a pretty good job at mimicking the real amp, down to its quirks (too much bass when gain on max, not really fit for palm mutes without a tight OD in front, slightly harsher treble than one would expect). I wouldnt compare it to the SL drive - it feels more like a preamp with a distinct voicing and less like an od. Haven't tried the 59 yet, but I might breadboard it this WE if I have the time - in which case I'll report back
