The Real Deal

The Real Deal

Hi! This is me, Big Will, And I am a Professional Guitarist who had played in many groups in my 30 - plus years. I once own the Super Lead 1959 100- watt Amp Head back in 1970 when used to play in my Heavy Rock / Blues band, The Fresh Smash group. I sold that vintage Marshall Amp head back in the mid- 80's and I regretted that ever since! But, I was very lucky and fortunate to get another vintage Marshall Amp Half- Stack, - Artist 3230 (30 - watts amp head w/ 4- 10" spk bottom) in a trade deal in the mid 80's from a close friend of mines, Peter. I will never sell that Marshall amp Half- Stack no matter what happens! I love the sound of Marshall Amps!! They are the Real Deal!! Thanks Jim and the Marshall Company!!

with only 600 released for sale worldwide i was lucky to get hold of one, and even luckier to have it signed by the man himself!

big thanks to Zakk Wylde, Paul Marshall, and the rest of the Marshall team.

The Voice Of Marshall!

The Voice Of Marshall!

Greetings,
I've played Marshall amps since 1979. I play in a Rockin' Blues band called The Left Paul Trio. Marshalls are the only way I can get my point across - yeah!!!
If one is good, several are great! My amps pictured are a 1973 model 1987 50 watt head on a 1960AX cab, a 1980 model 2204 50 watt head on a 1936 cab loaded with greenbacks, 1979 model 2203 100 watt head on a 1960A cab, a 1983 Canadian model 4010 50 watt combo (my main club amp), and a 1980's model 5005 Lead 12.
Keep on rockin'!

Yo,
Here’s my little collection I have going here. As you can see I started off with the JVM410H & 1960AV then got the MG50DFX, then the MG15DFX, then the MS-4 Microstack…. Or was it the other way round!

An I’m 19 years young so there loads more coming!

Marshall, not the best amps in the world, THE F*CKING ONLY AMPS IN THE WORLD!

Nothing Beats Marshall

Nothing Beats Marshall

Nothing beats my Marshalls! My rig consists of a 60 watt TSL(100 watt TSL as my backup) on top of my 1960 cab loaded with a cross pattern of Celestion 75 watters and Vintage 30's and a model 2550 Silver Jubilee on top of my 1936 cab also loaded with Vintage 30's. I've tried everything out there from M*sa to Or*nge and everything in between and NOTHING beats my Marshalls! Thank You Marshall!

Hi guys,
I just want to let you know I'm totally confident with my TSL 100 full stack - perfectly fitting my studio needs no matter what I spend on guitars!

Cheers,

Hi Marshall,

This is my 1987 2555 Silver Jubilee that I have owned for 21 years. I have never played through any other head that sounds as magical as my baby. I like this amp so much that I named my son "Marshall" in it's honor (yes, I'm serious) .

Hey Guys,
I've had a variety of Marshall cabs, amps and preamps over the years. My current main Touring/Recording rig has a Marshall EL34 100/100 and a JMP at its' heart. I call it the "Rack of Thulsa Doom". This thing is so awesome, I love it with all I got. It sounds great, it is smooth when I want it to be, tight when I need it to be and it has more juice than I've ever needed. :) I can't wait to get to work on my next Guitar CD. Marshall will be at the helm.

My Beloved

My Beloved

Hello!
These are my beloved Marshalls. A Mk2 50w head from 1975, that I bought new in 1976 and still use! An early JCM 800 50w with matching bottomcab. The first reissue of the 1962 combo, my workhorse. None of the amps has been modified in any way, because I love them just the way the are :-)

Tone That's Nailed

Tone That's Nailed

I picked up a Super100JH earlier this year. Just wanted to let you guys know what an amazing amp it is. I am partial to the amplifiers Marshall made in the 60's, the Hendrix amp nails that tone and then some. From beautiful cleans to the best crunch tone, its all there. Job well done!
Regards,

Fueling The Passion

Fueling The Passion

I've been playing guitar for 24 years, and I've been relying on Marshall amps for the past 17 years. Nothing else punches like a Marshall, and nothing breathes Rock'n'Roll like a Marshall. Thanks to all of you at Marshall Amplification for continuing to fuel the passion and for inspiring so many people to express themselves through the roar of your amps!

To Die For

To Die For

These are my two Marshall heads. On top is a 1986 JCM 800 2204. The bottom head is a JCM 900 4500. I used these two amps with a JCM 800 4x12 cabinet loaded with 75 watt Celestion speakers and the tone is to die for! The crunch is amazing. I've been using Marshall ever since my band formed and they cut through the mix like nothing else! Thanks Jim and everyone else at Marshall for making the only amps I'll use!

Cheers,

Like Nothing On Earth

Like Nothing On Earth

Hi
Just wanted to share a picture of my Marshall set up. I use different combinations with my band No Pressure
bepending on the size of the room. I mainly use the JMP-1 & EL34 50/50 for amazing versitility. My TSL100 just screams and the Valvestate S80 has a stereo chorus like no other. There's nothing on earth like the sound of a Marshall !!
