Members Kelly Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 No. Now when I walk into a store and plug into a Marshall I'm always disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Radiohead, lol Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 depends if you like marshalls in the first place i've settled on my VH4, but it doesn't cover some sounds that my old super lead does.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brick Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've played a decent amount of amps, but I do regret selling my '86 2204, I will own that amp at some point in my life again. Right now though, Splawn is going to be my go to amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'll stick with my old Fenders and Marshalls. Boutiques don't do much for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sardocasm Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 No, I like my Bad Cat way better than the Marshall I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Celik Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I have allways like marshall's. I have played through ton of amps out there from messa, vox, to fenders, vht etc. and i allways come back to marshall. I guess its the music i like and grow up listening to was done on marshalls so it only makes sense for me to like that amp. I would not trade my DSL 50 for the world.

Started with a marshall jcm800 in the 80s.Owned since-Fender,bogner,soldano,mesa,orange,crate,hiwatt,yamaha,krank,kmd,engl, and Im sure some I have forgotten over the years...Some of the companies Ive owned a few different models. And Im back to Marshall. I guess Im just a marshall guy, I like the mid sounding, volume heavy sound of a cranked marshall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HoboMan Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've always played Marshalls. I currently have a JCM800. A little over a year ago I bought a Mesa F-30. My Marshall hardly ever got turned on for over a year. The last two days I have been playing my Marshall again. What the hell was I thinking! The F-30 might be up for sale pretty soon.

Members Uncle_Milton Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I haven't owned a marshall yet because I haven't found one that makes me :luv:. Most Vintage amps are very hit or miss IMO. Some just all the time with little effort, and some need a lot of work to get humming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alkaiser Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 i love my '82 2204, but i've never extensively tried other amps other than mesas and fenders (used to be big on mesas until i tried a real marshall haha) i really want to try out a slo-100 and shiva though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Romanian Reaper Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I really like my JVM. Great versatile amp. I tell you though, a modded Marshall is the cat's ass though. I'v heard Cameron and Splawn-modded Marshalls and both sounded unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scarlet_Worm Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I prefer the tone of a marshall sound, but better... my favorite amp (that I greatly regret selling) is the Hughes and Kettner Duotone, great hot rodded marshall tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members filthy6 Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'll stick with my old Fenders and Marshalls. Boutiques don't do much for me. yup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members missingastring Posted August 17, 2008 Members Share Posted August 17, 2008 The hot rodded JCM 800 sound, to me, is everything that a distorted amp should be. That being said, I think a Splawn Quick Rod is teh secks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mr Lucky Pants Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 bump for a good thread. Modded Marshall circuits for me...Just, because I prefer a little darker/smoother on the highs/low mids. I'd really to like to play a Voodoo amp or a Cameron CCV100. But, yeah Marshall designs for gain channels are the most versatile and have the greatest crunch for rock tones IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
