Mine is pretty close.

Depends. What model Marshall? I can get several Marshall "like" sounds from my Windsor and they range from meh to game on. The sound enjoyment I get out of it is far superior to the small amount of money it took to buy it.

Derail. For such a tiny OT I'm surprised it produces any decent sound at all. The thing is choke sized.

In my opinion, it definitely has that british flavor and sounds pretty good for the price, but in stock form I still think it compresses too much and the gain comes on too quickly, which to me makes it sound a bit one dimensional compared to a real Marshall.

However, the circuit is similar enough to a JCM800 2203 that it can be modded to sound a LOT like a Marshall.

I've modded a few of them in the past, one for myself even. One of them, the guy just wanted the preamp mods and it improved the tone and response quite a bit I think. For mine and the others though, I modded the whole circuit, including reworking the phase inverter, to JCM800 specs with just a touch more gain, added a 3H choke from Classictone and changed the output transformer to a Classictone JMP/JCM replacement model. It is in full Marshall mode now!

Keyword "like' a MARSHALL.


Pretty sure it sounds like a PV.

I could be the marshall for the sounds of today. the idea is to have the distortion but was the original the idea of "lets make this clean thing distorted"?

I recon with this type of product, you run with it and don't look back.

Even ACDC isn't the same band as they were back in the 70's so they don't have the same sound, so don't expect a Windsor to be a marshall. and be happy about it.

Stock Hippie must'a worked for the CIA.

 

[slide222]

I think we're all agreed , it doesn't sound like a regular marshall

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Everything I've heard from the Windsor sounds like a fizzer, stiffer JCM800 with more gain.

Peavey amps in general don't sound that great.
And it's not really like a Marshall.
But I have modified them, and many mods exist for them.

The Windsor does have "potential" to be modified to sound like a Marshall.
In stock form, it sounds like a PV.

Please don't compare the sound of Peavey to a Marshall.
It's like comparing a Volkswagen Bug to a Cadillac.

Good one stock , you make the peavey sound bad , pretty sure they sound better than that , weren't you looking for a Marshall , don't they have Marshalls in Hawaii ?

 

[jross68052]

My orginal Peavey 5150 sounds great

Living proof , the weed in Hawaii is the best in the world .

the track listed as "UNTITLED" is straight into a 5150, stock SG special 04 faded. platinum voodoo mod I believe but a simple bias mod gets very close.
