HI guys,

Here are a couple of pictures of me rocking out with my band the Gummy Babies abley assisted by my 2 favourite halfstacks. On the left the Red head is a 1975 1959 superlead (my 'clean' amp) the green cab (which is currently at the Marshall factory being restored back to its original red...Why do people destroy such a thing of beauty?) is a slightly later 70's unit, but is loaded with very old G12 M 25's. They were both purchased from a local bass player, the cab as it is and the head had been stripped. What a crime, vandalised red Marshalls. On the right is a JCM900 4100 on 1960AV cab which is my distortion amp. I also own a JCM800 2250 split channel, and 1959SLP re-issue (signed by Jim) and a JTM 45 re-issue and 3 more 4X12's including 2 1960b's so I can use 2 full stacks...What a poser ;-)

I love Marshall amps and have used them since 1988 when I bought my first one (the JCM800). I could not see myself using any other amps. Jim, we all owe you a big one!!

Hi Marshall,
This is my JCM 800 4212 2 x 12 combo on top of a 1936, There is no other amp in the world that can touch Marshall. All other amps just want to be a Marshall. I've been playing this rig for a couple of years now and everytime I plug one of my Gibsons in it roars and blow your face off. I play rhyme guitar in my band and we cover ACDC, Jet, Velvet Revolver, and play alot of heavy rock stuff, the 800's tone is always there, I never have any problems getting it. Great work Jim and all the guys at Marshall, also great book !!!

Hi guys,

thought I'd drop you a line with a photo of my JTM60 I've also got a 6100 30th Anniversary head, a Superlead 100w, a good mix of cabs and some smaller amps. Jim signed my 6100 back in 1996 and wrote "Adults only" on it - how true. For awesome tone, Marshall's stand alone

Have a loud day :)

Electrifying

Electrifying

The Revolutions played riff-based rock drawing influences from 70s and 80s rock 'n' roll bands such as Guns N' Roses and AC/DC. As such we need a beefy guitar sound - cue this two-headed Marshall/Gibson beast!

Primary guitar duties are handled by a Marshall TSL100 half-stack and Gibson Les Paul Standard, with the band's guitar lineup being completed by a Marshall Mode 4 half-stack and Gibson SG Junior.

Together this combination of two classic guitars and the juxtaposition of both new and classic Marshall technology creates a wall of sound capable of electrifying any venue.

Hello, My dream has come true, after 5 years of playing guitar with an 25W amp I got a "new" one. This is my Marshall JCM 900 100W Hi Gain Master Volume MkIII. It's an 1990 JCM Combo and it's the best sound I ever heard coming out of my speakers. It's my first Marshall and I love it. Thank you for being the number #1 in amp productions in this universe!

Greetings from an new Marshall-Lover from Germany!!!

I have waiting 25 years to get the rig of my dreams.....and here it is..... my brand new TSL100 w/ a 1960A cab. My Gibson Les Paul and Explorer have never sounded better and the JCM2000 is awesome. My band "Six Months In..." plays alternative rock and now our bottom end sound is freight train-like. From crystal clean, to full on end of the world tone and everything in between. My rig is absolutely perfect and the search for the best sounding amp is finally over. Marshall Amps are simply the best money can buy.

Here's my son Dominic aged 3 in front of my rig - two Master Volume and one Superlead head from the late seventies with two 4x12 and one 2x12 cab all still going strong. When he grows up (past the "Daddy, it's too loud !" stage) I'm going to get him a real guitar so he can rock out !. Best wishes to you all.
