Hi Marshall!

This is my proud 'n joy so far... Marshall's Valvestate 265 2x12". Allong with the B.C's, this humble setup blows your head off! Can't describe the feeling this amp gives you, when you crank it up... What a pressure! What a sound! Like a wall, dead-on in-your-face! Just to loud... way to f*cking loud!!! Marshall thank you so much for making great amps, you got yourselves a marshall-fan for life here!

Unbelievably Perfect!

Unbelievably Perfect!

I started with the MG250DFX but as i have progressed so did my needs so now i am the proud owner of a J.C.M.2000 TSL 100w with a 1960 Lead cab. The TSL with its 3 channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead) are unbelievable and i have found the perfect sound for my band.

Thanks Mr. Marshall

Since 2002 ive been using Marshall Amps ive gone from MG30 to the AVT275 and now recently i purchased a JCM2000 TSL60 head with 1960A cab which is pictured with my other pride and joys, Marshall are the best amp to come out of England and the world keep up the good work.

Here's a pic of my JCM900 with my guitars. It's an early example of a model 4105 made in 1990 with a 1912 extension cabinet. Killer rock tone in a compact package. I love it.

My momentary rig: TSL100 plus DSL100 linked together by two, all analogue pedalboards with boutique stomp boxes, feeding two 1960AV cabs. One cab has been retrofitted with Celestion G12H-30s. You can do all kinds of music with this setup: From Jazz, Pop, over Rock'n Roll and Classic Rock to Heavy Metal. Whoever said Marshall isn't versatile, was definitely wrong !

In the photo behind me is my Marshall AVT 50H half stack. This is one great amp, I love it! It has the classic Marshall look, sound and vibe. I had been considering a getting a Marshall for several years, and after playing through the AVT 50H half stack I knew it was coming home! The amazing thing is how dead-on the Valvestate technology replicates an all-tube tone. I play original Roots Rock, in the vein of The Rolling Stones and The Black Crowes, so tube tone is a very important factor. My AVT 50H half stack never fails to deliver that! Plus, I think it's way cool that it looks so much like the classic JCM 800 series of the 1980s. All of my guitars (Dan Armstrong See Through, Dot Studio, SG, Teles, Strats) sound killer through my Marshall! I'm a Marshall grrl for life!!!

Dream Rig!

Dream Rig!

Dreams really do come true!!!! here's a picture of my kick-ass dream rig! I use a P*D XTpro as a pre, and run it through my EL34 100/100, and then finally this fat and rich sound comes exploding from two 1960B Vintage cabs. It's very Addictive !!! On the left in the picture is an older friend of mine: The Valvestate VS265. These days I use it for that clean sound that makes my Marshall a Marshall.

thank you so much JIM and everyone else at Marshall
