Sweet Merciful ..@#$$%^ !!! Thanks for making me feel inadequate with those pictures. I thought I was in heaven for finally being able to afford one all tube Marshall again.

agreed. . .



I gotta say I like my jcm 2000 tsl 100, I don't know a ton about all the different kind of marshalls out there, but I know I've played through a jcm 800, and 900, I liked the 800 a helluva lot better.

I like the versatility in the 2000 just cause it has 3 channels, it just makes things a lot easier when swapping for different sounds.

Re: Best Marshall year

Hello all,

My vote goes to the 2204 Master Volume amp, with the vertical inputs. The 2150 is one of my favorites as well.

As far as the Park Rock Combo and Rock head, I was extremely lucky to own one a year or so back, and was very disappointed with the tone. I had it checked out twice to see if there was anything wrong with it...It sounded very strange compared to any other Marshall I've ever owned. The intro to Funk #49 comes to mind.

Here is some good sounding Marshall amps:

Bottom left: '65 JTM100 Super PA dual OT
Top left: '67 JMP1986 Bass 50w with tube rectifier
Bottom right: '68 JMP 1992 Super Bass 100w
Top right: '68 JMP 1987 Lead 50w

I own only two amps but that's because there's nothing else I want to play. JMP's rule. I had a great JTM45 clone (Germino) which was lovely but the JMP's are the hammer, the tone. My fave is the 100 watter cause the cleans are so amazing. Both the 50 and 100 have wonderful lead voices. Just the 100 has these huge, deep cleans that are the best.

'72 Super Lead

'68 50 watter

I think the greatest marshall is a plexi on the appetite for destruction album slash
used a modded 1959 plexi a store rented it to him , he liked it so much he tryed to hold it by telling the shop guy it was stolen but a few days later a rhoadie bring it back to the store
sorry for my poor english, sometimes its realy poor other times its not bad

 

[tarznamps]

There isn't one - it depends on what you play or what sound you're going for?

I must be too PC - but if there was only one "Greatest Marshall Ever", there would only be one Marshall amp.

Modern high-gain players would not like the sound of a true vintage Marshall but may like a JCM 800, 900, DSL, TSL, etc.

And most vintage Marshall guys hate the new stuff.

I think there are about 4 vastly different Marshall sounds - so you gotta have at least 4 Marshall's!!!

I have always found that the greatest sounding Marshall ever is always the one that you didn't buy when you had the chance to or the one that you just sold and totally regret doing so and can't get back.

(as Dr.Z could be confused with the amp manufacturer.)

Some signature sounds from Marshall:

1. The JTM-45 with KT66, tuberectifier and a 4x12 cab with alnicos or G12M20w.
2. The JTM-45/100 with KT66 and G12M's
3. The Plexi JMP 50w and 100w with EL34 and G12M's or G12H's
4. The JMP/JCM800 2203 and 2204 with EL34,Blackbacks or G12-65's
Here's two more that maybe should be on the list:
5. The JCM2000 DSL (the most sold Marshall ever)
6. The Vintage Modern (time will show)

Haha...or the one that "the other guy has", so you have no chance of having it.

Haven't gotten the chance to play through many. I've played an old plexi (don't know what year) and it sounded incredible.

Although, I can get pretty close to that shit with my 6100LM...

So I'd say the 6100LM.
