Meat!

Meat!

My Beloved JCM900 model 4100 (dubbed MEAT) pictured here in my studio with my custom built JIBBSAC 1x12 cab. Bought this wicked brute in 1995 to finally rid myself of that wretched "Pussy Tone" Toured and studio work for 9+ years with no problems...still has original tubes! Sonically Orgasmic. Gargantuan, cyclopean tone!!! All other amps pale in comparison.

Linda

Hello, this is my Marshall Master Volume 100W, dated 18. October 1979. I was born 16. October 1980. So it´s very strange to me. I call this monster Linda, because there is A.C.UNIT on chassis written upside down and it looks like LINDA. Angled cab is 1996 AX, bottom cab is from 1970, Celestion Greenbacks are dated 22. October 1970. I have to change the cloth. I´ve changed many amplifiers, but this is really the BEST ONE! My bassguitarist always has something in his ears, when I start to scream with Linda. He had to buy A*peg SVT 300W, because of my volume level.

Wish all the best, Marshall!

I've owned this amp for over 15 years. I bought it brand new in 1986. Although I loved it in basic black, it occurred to me that it would look killer as a one of a kind in purple elephant Tolex and vintage TV grillcloth. It sounds as good as it looks! I've used it on almost all of my recordings, even though I have a few other amps to choose from. Nothing is as versatile as this little baby. It can range from shimmering "tweed" to raging Marshall growl. I hope you like it.

Hi,

Here are my Marshalls, I've just bought the AVT150 and AVT112 extension cab which look and sound great!

Alongside them is my 1976 Lead & Bass 50w combo which I've had since it was almost new. At one time I had a pair of these and used them at thousands of gigs over the years. It has a master vol mod which I did myself in the late 70s.

Last year I took it to a rehearsal after a little bit of a layoff and the mains transformer went up in smoke. I got a replacement and some good advice from the Marshall service department, and also replaced all the tubes. It now sounds as good as ever again - and is really loud for a 50w amp - with a great clear clean sound!

I'm looking forward to many years of gigging with my new AVT set up too! I think the amp sounds great and very versatile - the acoustic simulator channel is amazing.

Keep on rocking!

Cheers

Carl

Hands Off!

I was browsing your site and wanted to get my 2 cents worth in. This is a picture of my second Marshall. I used to own a Valvestate combo amp. It was my first Marshall amp. I fell for Marshall immediately. I played it for a few years, but got the itch for MORE POWER!! I went out and bought my JCM 2000 DSL Half Stack. I will never part with this amp. I cant tell you how many times I have had offers to buy it. I keep telling everyone to go buy your own, and leave mine ALONE. I just wanted to tell you guys and gals, how happy I am with my Marshall, and thank you for making such an A** kicker or an amp.

To The Manor Born

"TO THE MANER BORN" just as the original ad reads. Attached is a picture of my favorite rig. It is an early 3203 Artist and a 2204s Original Classic on top of 2 prime 1966 a&b cabinets. The Artist I use for clean tones and the 2204s I use for blues and rock, and the size is easy on my aging back.

My band is called "The Plastic Hell Yeah Band" and we play a lot of '70's 80's bar music. This rig rocks. The best sight is when we are rockin, the whole back line is movin with the drummer, and it rocks, rolls, stands and delivers. Marshall, best amps ever.

Here are my twins,all grown up. I take them out to the most unusual places and open them up. Much more fore giving than a live show. It's a pair of 4100's, one vintage and one lead stacks. I've converted my Les Paul to stereo and the front pickup is fed to the Vintage stack and the back pickup is fed to the lead stack. Click one into over drive and the other clean and you have tone like two jets doing a fly by and they shoot straight up right where your standing. Lead runs are unbelievable. The two in the clean mode and you have rhythm times two. And the best thing about the stereo rig is you can hear the differences in the types of speakers at the same time. Warm vintage smooth flowing tone and hard hitting lead punch talking and singing together. The 4100's take on there own personality as well. There alive. Thank you Jim Marshall and all who works for you. (note I use Honda EU 2000 generator to power the beasts. It's the cleanest and quietest of the all.)
