Amp Worship

Amp Worship

About a year ago my parents bought me the JCM2000 TSL100 and am still amazed at how awsome this amp is! 3 channels, practically any style of music, plenty of overdrive and if it had any more volume then my ears would implode...quite painful. truly a beautiful peice of art. My school has had a solid state Marshall since I can remember and when I compared it to my TSL, I realised that I needed to tame this beast before it would eat every other amp on earth (including other Marshalls...she is a cannibal after all)!
I can't wait until my church has a system that can keep up wth the TSL so I can use it when worshipping at church!
Oh and the VPR is extremely useful! It's like the leash for the beast....enough talking, I'm going to go have a shred!

Small Yet Perfectly Formed

Hey this is Cesar from Mexico, this time I bring to you my current Marshall workhorse, a 30 Anniversary series 6101 combo amp from 1992.

This is the most versatile, ton-featured, heaviest(35Kg), loudest amp I've ever had, even though it's a pretty small amp, its weight is unveliabable and... did I say loudest?? Yes!! This amp can sound as loud as hell with its Celestion 200watt speaker, it can deal with a cranked head through a 4x12 cabinet without trouble.

I'm glad to own this little amp that houses 30 years of Marshall rockin' sounds, the clean channel is the best clean I've ever played and the crunch and lead channels are pure rockin' drive insanity, also it works perfect as a power amp for my external preamp.

The best tube amp ever made since Rock N' Roll saw the light of the day.

Regards.

Cesar Huesca, session guitarist, Mexico.

Can't Touch This

Can't Touch This

Hey there,
From my very first amp 11 years ago, Marshall have always been the amp for
me. Nothing can touch 'em! No amp can deliver the looks and sound that make
me and my band sound the way we do.
Thanks Jim, forever in your debt.

The Foundation of Rock

The Foundation of Rock

Here I am with two of my Marshall amps. To the left is my very first amplifier that I bought back in 1989, a Marshall Master Reverb 30 and to the right, my brand spankin' new HDFX100W half-stack. I truly believe that Marshall amp is THE foundation of rock. And as long as there is a Les Paul plugged into a Marshall, rock and roll will never die! Thanks, Marshall, for being THE ONE!

Dear Jim,

This is me with my JCM 800 model number 2210 full stack, circa 1988. It
kicks so much ass, and my bandmates love it! No modifications, no effects,
just a Les Paul and 100 watts of straight up ass kicking rock and roll
power. Warm, chunky, smooth, loud...what else can I say? Rock on!

Hi Jim and all Marshall Staff!

Since 1962 nobody had more influenced Rock n Roll and modern Music than Jim
& Ken and all the people who work and worked for Marshall! THANK YOU!!!

I have dedicated my little homepage to the giant great Rock N Roll machines
made between 1962 and 1983 showing a bit of my collection.

I always thought only the real old Vintage ones are good until I heard the
new JCM 2000 DSL50 Heads at the Jeff Beck show in May 2006 in Germany and
checked he Vintage HW Amps & Cabs at my local Marshall store. They are
killer authentic looking and killer sounding too....

Find attached a pic of my 1969 Superlead and 1970 SuperBass Custom Colur
Fullstacks showcasing my son who rocks the soundgarden...

Hey Jim I hope to see you make us rockin for another 44 years!!!

Cheers

Here is my Special Edition Marshall AVT100, along with my new Fender Stratocaster. I recently got back into playing the guitar after many years, so I decided to buy new kit. Marshall amps are the best out there, so nothing else would do.

In a word......Amazing

In a word......Amazing

Hey Jim! This is a resend of mine since the other picture was way too big. Well this is it. My Marshall MG100HDFX. The cabinet is custom made. The Sound is incredible, both the clean and distortion. Ive always wanted one, and I finally have one. I waited a while to get one of these. And it was worth the wait. I love the digital FX. Describe it in one word. Amazing. Ive been told all of the stories of how incredible a Marshall Amplifier is. Ever since then, Ive been wanting one. Well now, Ive made that dream a reality. I really think you guys do make the best amps there are. I play a few different styles. Rock, Hard Rock, and Punk. Incredible stuff. Keep up the amazing work.
