marshall

so i recently moved to canada for my gf and all i could bring with me was a spark 2 and i need an amp for band and live gigs that does that swedish death metal sond (mainly bloodbath and at the gates) and carcass, also symbolic by death sound. i ordered a hm2 so its on the way dw. if youre...

What I was looking for: Marshall vintage modern What I found: VM 100w 2466 head in purple with footswitch What happened: seller hadnt gotten many hits in 30 weeks so decided to keep it… What happened after: I sold my JCM800 to a nice dude in Toronto and picked up this Marshall 1987X...

This thread brought to you by me, @technomancer and @Jon Pearson :metal: Choose your fighter (contestants must be under 6’ to participate) Choose your powerup: Choose your mascot (note: only one mascot available) 1978 and 1976 1960B’s with blackbacks. May try both stacks in stereo before...

Howdy gang. I feel odd doing a New Amp Day for an amp that I have had now for month (and considering how many amps I don't do it for), but I wanted to discuss this amp a bit nonetheless. I was playing this amp again today, all I could think about was how good it sounds - without a boost, it's...

So I thought I was going to be trading my 70s fsr avri for a 1977 hiwatt DR105. Turns out its consignment (so I’ll lowball on it next year, already been there for 6!). I was already negotiating with the seller of a 1985 jcm800 2204 50w, Canadian model. We came to an agreement after I found out...

This cab started life as a 1960ax. Then it got G12H30 55hz greenbacks. Then it got an aftermarket birch back panel. Then it got the grill cloth from an AWH. It’s basically a 1960AWH :lol: Bought off an amp tech with a fun collection - I may try to talk him out of an amp at a later date :lol...

“Budda, wtf is this thread title?” Well, it’s a JTM-45. But it’s a clone. Not sure of original build date but purchased from the builder (Moratto amp shop). Ppimv in back. Solid state rectifier since this is gonna get some doom paul time. First trial is next week. Maybe one day I try a bassman...

Picked this up a few days ago. I really wanted a solid platform for pedals and effects (working on building a pedalboard soon). This popped up on my local craigslist for an absolute steal, so I had go for it. It sounds absolutely incredible from the little I've messed with it. These have the...

So, I have been a Mesa fanboy for a hot minute. I've owned a LOT of high gain Mesas: TriAxis w/ 2:90, Studio Pre, (2) Mark IVs (rev. A and B), Mark III (red stripe and blue stripe), Mark V 25, a series 1 Roadking, a Roadster, a Rev G Recto, a Rectoverb, a Tremoverb for a bit, and lately, a Mark...

Every once in a while as my amp collection grows, I like to do something a little crazy.... In this past year I got a Gibson Les Paul Custom. It's probably my favorite guitar! I basically wanted to hear how this guitar sounds through my entire amp collection. No clean tones, just one high gain...

Hey all, I've been working on this new series, it's called "One Song, One Amp!" V2 and I'm pretty excited about it. I've done something like this before but this one has more guitars and styles so it will hopefully keep things more interesting... :) The idea is that I wrote and recorded this...

As mentioned in the "what are you buying" thread, I kind of had this pair of silver jubilee 212 cabs fall into my proverbial lap yesterday. (pic won't load and I won't have them til next weekend...) Not sure of the year. At least one is badged 2556B but both have V30's in them. I may be...

Hey all, I wanted to do another attempt at getting that classic Around The Fur / White Pony era guitar tone. I tried it before but I wanted to see if I could come even closer this time around. I used my trusty ESP LTD SC-20 with the SD JB pickup and my Marshall JMP-1 into the JVM410H poweramp...

Hey guys, time for another blind test! :) The BluGuitar Amp1 is basically an analog modeling amp. It doesn't have tubes except for in the powersection (the nanotube), so it's essentially a solid state amp. The Mercury edition aims to basically recreate the tones of a bunch of amps, mainly...

I have both the old JCM2000 DSL50 and the new DSL100HR and I personally really like them both. The DSL amps in general are very appealing to me because of the high gain options. That makes them very versatile when compared to a JCM800 for example. The old ones used to have a mixed reputation...

We completely gutted GH50L, then we put into it our preamp circuit, furthermore we brought in extra features: - presence control with selectable frequency - mid-shift - variable feedback - poweramp limiter - all tube footswitchable series FX loop with both send and return level adjustment Share...

I got a new amp to play with! Yay! Wangs was kind enough to send me their 1987HW amp which is basically a handwired 50w 4-hole non master volume "Marshall" Plexi. As with all the other "HW" Wangs amps it's handwired and made with great care in the Wangs shop in China. This is a good example of a...

I made a pretty interesting comparison. Since I own both a Marshall SC20H / JCM 800 Studio and a Wangs 2204-HW I thought it would be fun to compare the sound of both amps. If you haven't heard of the Wangs 2204-HW, it's basically a boutique handmade/handwired 2204 clone built in the Wangs custom...

Finally got a grail unicorn amp. I’ve been after a legit one of these ever since I learned about them being used on Fear Factory’s Demanufacture and Obsolete albums . The amp is insanely tight and percussive. All three gain stages seem to interact differently with each other and dictates the...
