Still Rockin'

Still Rockin'

Here they are and the reason I have to find a place to play. It's my wall of sound. When I run out the back of my heads with DI boxes to Two CFX boards and click on two other effects with the Twins, it's house shaken, neighbor yelling, cop calling and oh yea wife screaming madness. So now I take it out where it's the twin and I all alone with the hills and canyons around my county.
Love it, still Rock'en On at 52

Demolition Sound

Demolition Sound

I have been using marshall since 15 years in music.I started with affordable Valvestate to finally arrive a few years after to my actual setting that I am very proud of. My band PROCESS plays metal and I needed very low end and precise sound. I then went for 7 strings guitars connected to my preamp that drives 2 Marshall Heads vintage JCM800, each one connected to a vintage 1960 cabinet. I sometimes uses also a JCM800 old cabinets that is my favourite ones. The JCM800 sound like they will destroy the entire building when I play some low B notes....I love those Marshalls, they are part of my sound. Imagine 2 JCM800 heads on 6 or 7 volume, with those cabinets, it sounds HUUUUGE. AT home, I also have Marshall 8008 for home recording.
On the pictures, you see my 2 main amps and also some live pics with at the back a Marshall Power Amp 9000 I have too. Note that the cabinets are marked with my name "VAL" but they are real vintage Marshalls.

Enjoy the picture

Hi I'm Antonio Alfano from Naples (Italy), I play the guitar in a band called "Codice22". I've been using Marshall for 15 years and now I have a 6100 head (30th Anniversary) with 4x12 cabinet (look at the picture)... I think it has the best sound I have ever heard.

Being Individual

Being Individual

I wanted to make my equipment a bit more interesting, and since i am a Scotsman, I chose my National flag as an intersting alternative to the standard Marshall cloths, as every guiatrist needs a trade mark or some thing that he/she is famous for, wether it´s Zakk Wylde with his jcm 800 2003´s in his personal trim or the fact that the covering vinyl is a different colour, individualism is good, but that said we all realise which are the best amps on the planet, carry on the good work.

All the Best

TASTY!!!!

TASTY!!!!

My good Marshall brothers!!!

I had dreamed for about 25 years of the chance to use Marshall amps, and finally picked these up over the past year. As you may see in the photo, I have a wide range: the MS-4 (great for motel-room practice), the MG15MSII (nice for recording on the computer), the MG30DFX (a great travel amp), and the full stack of the MG100HDFX with the MG412 cabinets. I’m a musician in two churches in north Missouri, and the sound from all the amps is very TASTY!!!!!!! Just like fresh meat, properly seasoned. I got rid of all the other brands! I use guitars ranging from a Strat to custom Conklins, and the sound is great regardless of what I plug into it. They even pick up the high E on the 31st fret of the high A string of my custom Conklin, and as clear as a bell. I was curious as to why I haven’t found any Marshall bass amps, but I experimented with my 6-string bass (tuned down to the F sharp below the normal E of a bass), and the MG amps picked up the low F sharp real nicely! I’l!
l definitely add to the arsenal with a 50w soon. Your contribution to the work of guitarists is truly evicence of the work of the HAND OF GOD!!! A real blessing indeed.

Hello there...

I'm an electric guitar player.I always considered how would it be to plug in an electric guitar into an amplifier to reach all it's edges...Now I Know.I own 3 electric guitars (2 Ibanez/1 musicman) and I found that the best Thing I could do It was to use this rig...:Jmp 1->D*g*te*h 2112->AVT 50 and an B*ss EQ 20 To the send/return inputs...My clean channels are better than ever,my bluesy playing sounds like'em,my rock styl brakes out and my metal riffs heavier and stronger than never before...My solos cry out loudddd!!!!Thank you Of Making me in front of my rig!!!!!!

Yours faithfully

G.g.t.S.
