Your Favorite Marshall Amp

[LeftyGtrPlr]

My 1A is my JVM 410 HJS due to the awesome channel switching options and the overall sound. My 1B is my JCM 2000 DSL 50. If I could have all 4 modes easily foot switchable, that may make the ranking more difficult...

xMy favorite is my 1974x. It's a Special Edition to commemorate Guitar Center's 40th Anniversary. It's stamped 31 of 40. I've read that these have special grill cloth and maybe a special edition speaker. It sounds very organic and works perfectly for smaller venues.

Lets see a photo! I think I remember the grill, but am interested to check it out.

I've only had a couple Valvestates. Used to have a VS30R, now have a 40V 8040.

I have a few Marshalls amps. I think that my favorite is either the Marshall 2555x Silver Jubilee or the 2466 Vintage Modern. I would take those even over my 2203 and 2204.

What is your favorite Marshall amp?

Can't pick a single favorite... I have a few of the classics, 2203, JTM45, etc., but between these two, 1987 and JVM410hjs, I've got all my favorite tones covered! Wouldn't give any of them up though, and I could probably make it through any show with any of them; with the right pedals, they can all be coaxed into heavenly good rock tones.

I like my JTM45 2x12 combo and a few pedals. I replaced the Greenbacks with s Scumback M75 LD and G12T-75. It’s a Metro clone in a Mojo cab so technically not a real Marshall, but it’s a real Marshall

What is your favorite Marshall amp?

My Vintage Modern is the favorite and really the only one I use. I still have a 2204.

 

[LCW]

I only have one so it’s currently my favorite which is a DSL40CR. I’ve had a couple SC20Hs but prefer this to be honest.

Wow, looks like an original late 70s or so top... what's the story on the cab? Is that a reissue 2X12 or an original? I don't think I've EVER seen an original 2X12 Park cab or knew 70s examples existed.

79 Park 1206. Cab is a Sourmash replica with repro badge. Creamback loaded.

Looks great... I knew that cab wasn't something that looked familiar. I love Parks!

VOX Royal Guardsman. Coolest amp I have ever seen. Ever.

NEXT---choice would be 80's JCM800 -- with 2 speakers. Would need to be completely re-built. AND, would have to get a footswitch to go from lo to hi channels. Total Marshall sound. Dangerous for other amps to even be around it. NEXT -- I have a JCM100 TSL -- 'motherboard' 'out' at this time, it is currently used sideways a little table to hold my drumsticks and a small light (studio room). WOULD take a LOT of money to really fix it -- I believe the 'design' issue in the 2007 amp was really a lack of heat sink -- the tubes are VERY close to the board -- get VERY hot. HOWEVER, that amp is really really cool - 3 channels -- clean, hot, fire breathing hot channel -- set any way the operator would prefer. A BADASS amplifier. Total sound - all frequencies are there. Maybe a brand new Marshall that is even better would be good. Marshalls can be a little difficult - however, they do got that sound. Oh buddy.

That I've owned? A couple 2204's hands down. The 900 MK III was a good contender after I removed as many diodes as my skill set would allow. Didn't like the 2210 or Vintage Modern and the Ceriatone Jube was straight up crappy - sounded like a RAT though a silver face Twin.
My total faves that I really wish I had? The SLP and 1987X reissues from the '90s.

 

[Dirty-D]

1977 2203 with the 4ohm tap NFB wire KT88's and a couple other tweaks l don't understand.It's been threatened to be stolen many times.lf l lived on the street l'd carry it around with me

I love my JCM2000 DSL 50. Choke added, and running Winged C's.
I have a boutique head that's not a Marshall, but based on a Jubilee circuit which is awesome.

JCM 800 model 2210 with the OD channel ya needed the footswitch to change to because it lacked a button for it. Always had to carry a tested spare footswitch, but with just a Roland SDE2000, an Alesis EQ and a Morley Silver series power wah/volume/fuzz I achieved greatness for 2 decades of gigs through the 80s into early 2000s. Lord I miss that stack so much.

Ok....agree with the 2204, but the rest.....
