Ass Kicking Sound!

Ass Kicking Sound!

Dear Mr. Marshall
I wanna thank you for creating the best amp's in the world. I'm using a JMP 2144 Master Volume 50W combo for the small gigs and for the big gigs i'm playing the Jcm 2000 TSL 100 "plexi" top together with a 4x12 1960 Vintage cab, this in combination with my ESP KHII Custom or my Fender U.S.A Strat it's the best "ASS KICKING" sounds ever. When I'm reaching out for the Volume, the other bandmembers are taking a step back with a look on there face like "Oh....Sh*t, he's doing it again"

Gnarly!

Gnarly!

So yeah i saw the guy who had customised his, so i thought go on i'll just send this in to show what i've done to your lovely amp. It was a 'lil experiment for my A-level Tech project and also thought my JCM900 needed a make-over. It even looks nice on-stage, and get a UV light near it and it just glows so lush, well gnarly. Shame it's now dying on me, needs a service me thinks!

Hope you enjoy what i've done,

At The Top!

At The Top!

I finally reached the top!!!! I love my Marshall AVT150x! Oh man it cranks....I have tried many different name brands but nothing even comes close to my Marshall. I play a Godin SD and the soud is just sweet. The amp goes from a smooth clean sound all the way to Screaming Metal. This means I can play whatever i am in the mood for.

Amazing AVTX

Amazing AVTX

Hey all at Marshall,

This is a picture of my amazing new amp, the legendary AVT150XH with 2 matching cabs, I was saving up for a few months to get this but it was worth it, also in the picture is my Vox Tonelab SE which is an amazing pedal, and my Epiphone Korina Explorer and my Epiphone Goth Flying V, with custom made stainless steel scratchplates.

Thanks Jim and the Marshall Team for making the best amps around.

Dear Gods of Amplification,

Here's my rig, though it's not quite finished. I have a marshall VS100RH which, although I am going to soon add a cab, Is running through that little pignose amp on top of it by way of the emulated line out. I have an SG G-400, which has quite a bit of wear though you can't see, and i'm going to add a bigsby to it. Finally, on the pedalboard i have a modded crybaby (true bypass & status LEDs), an RP200A, the marshall footswitch, and a wireless reciever. Here's what i plan on getting within the next two years; Two cabs for my VS100, a few JCM 800 stacks with 2 1960 cabs each, a jtm 45 stack, 2-3 aby boxes to hook my guitar through to 3-4 marshall stacks (a JCM or two, a JTM, and my treasured VS100RH) simultaneously. I might even get a marshall bass stack for that tonal clarity i want every once in a while, 2 SGs with maestro tailpieces (ebony w/ gold hardware and cherry w/ chrome), an SG classic with P-90s (cherry), 2 SG standards (ebony and cherry), 3 sg specials (ebony, cherry and vintage brown), an sg doubleneck (6/12 in cherry), and that my friends, is my future rig.

Totally Original

Totally Original

My original 1966 100-watt plexi amp I bought (used) in 1967. The amp has JTM45 Mk2 front plexi panel - and white Mk111 "Super 100 Amplifier" rear panel - where "100" can clearly be seen to be screened over the top of "PA". I understand that this is one of the earliest 100 watt Marshall lead heads, and used the front panel from the existing 50-watt plexi head, and the rear panel from the already-introduced 100 watt PA head. It is all-original, except for replacement of the four original KT66 tubes with newer KT66's. The 4x12 cab I bought new in 1967. Four 20-watt greenback Celestions, and pinstripe cloth. This is one of the first pinstripe cabs with the recessed metal handles. It had been on display in a trade show in Manchester. Everything original and near-perfect condition. I've still got the covers, and even the original receipts.

Hope you like them!

Cool Customisation!

Cool Customisation!

Hello good people at marshall...

Thought you might like to see my slightly modified TSL100H. The original front with the logo got quite badly scratched at a gig one night so i had the crazy idea of replacing it with see through Perspex. When driven hard
the valves glow like little lightbulbs and is very effective on a dark stage. Two of my mates liked this idea and i did it for them on their DSL and JCM900 heads!!!

Also included are two shots of My TSL and the afore mentioned JCM900 "Marshalls with Mods" being used at The RIG, Rock City in Nottingham being used by DETONAL STATE.

Thanks for the ever cool sounding heads!!

Prized Collection

Prized Collection

Attached I believe you'll find a lovely picture of me with my prized collection. I've never played through anything but a Marshall, and I NEVER will. That TSL60 has the richest tone and an incredible amount of diversity. That, matched with my AVT275 for effects and added volume, makes an unbeatable wall of sound (not to mention those beautiful guitars help too hehe). Cheers to many more years of perfection in guitar amplification!

Never Looked Back

Never Looked Back

Hi there at Marshall,

The 2 amps in the picture are; AVT100 (bottom) and a MG30dfx (top). I started off with the MG series and that was just great value for what I paid. The next was the AVT which i bought second hand and never looked back. Both compliment the collection of guitars (1964 Gibson Trini Lopez, 1970 Epiphone ES335, Late 90's Epiphone Les Paul and a cheap Fender Copy from the 70's). The built in effects are great and come in very useful when playing. Keep up the good work!

More Than Just A Name!

More Than Just A Name!

My friend tells me an amp is an amp. He says Marshall is just a name. But I tell him, it's more than just a name. Marshall is the ultimate. When i went to buy my first electric guitar, I said, I want a Marshall amp to go with it, not some knock-off. And that's exactly what I got. My MG15CDR sounds AMAZING with my Ibanez GRX40, and I'm sure it will sound just as good with my Epiphone, as soon as I get it, en route to hopefully a Gibson SG. Thank you Jim, for making the most kick-ass amps on the planet!!!

FORZA MARSHALL!!!!
