Your Favorite Marshall Amp

[Ufoscorpion]

Only got one now , an Ori50h , best sounding one I’ve ever owned tbh .

I would say my 1983 JCM800 4104 (vertical input 65 speakers) and my Black 2554 Jubilee ....Combo amps were easier for me back in the day but almost 60 and they both feel like a ton of bricks these days. Do yearn for a SV20!

They are a ton of bricks, but they don't build them like they used to.

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

Sorry but the file is too large apparently, it won't upload. I don't feel like messing around to post it.

I tried to upload a couple of photos but they seem to be too large. I don't feel like messing with it.

Yah I agree with this too. Find myself having to play it regularly amidst some savory amps.

Vintage raw, unapologetic rocking Marshall. Perfect for my sloppy ass sticky licky soloing.

I know it does more but I only need it to do me.

Alright, well thanks for trying.

Well my Satriani JVM410 is my go-to amp for bigger gigs, my 6101 for smaller gigs so I'd have to say the JVM is my favourite amp.

My 2204 comes a close second due to it being the first Marshall I ever bought (brand new in 1985).

My favorite Marshall would have to be my 1988 (1st series) reissue JMP 100 which was Modified by Andy Fuchs. This thing sounds very smooth and clear at low volume (unlike stock Marshall's) but once you crank it with the OD channel engaged it kills. Extremely loud amp and it has a great active effects loop. It also takes effects pedals from the front very well.....

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.

Hi! Phone or computer image?
Pretty simple solution - without going to hosting sites

Just copy the image, (original will be untouched)

open a photo program (import)
resize at a smaller percentage % or by pixel - 800x600 is sufficient

save as a .jpg.

That is it.

Well I've never had a real Jube but that one sucked. An I'm also the only one I know that's pulled the diodes from a MK III, nobody else mentions it.

How much gain did the MK III lose after the diodes were taken out?

Barely any but I've never heard of anyone using one of those dimed anyway. Sounded bigger and smoother, less phony fizzy overdrive.

For me my TSL60 half stack.

I had a handful of marshalls. I love the new SC20H, its tied with(this is going to sounds crazy) a VS65R made in england. Idk what it is about the valvestate but it has something that brings out the best in my guitars.

I'm changing my vote.
Purple Haze.

There are more series tube circuits in there than an 800, one additional 12AX7A so there will always be lots of gain in those amps. Bear in mind the difference wasn't that dramatic but enough to make me wish the pandemic was over so I could gig it. But I got antsy and sold it, moved on to something else. the fizzy texture was no longer a distraction and I wasn't reaching for an already maxed bass knob. If I had more experience there were a few more diode circuits down the line I'd try pulling, including a small bridge rec. I think I just got the first two. Worth it though.

Purdy. DAMN purdy. But can she sing? Never tried a Haze.

I have heard that the Haze can sing a magnificent song..

Thanks!

She's all stock except the "cosmetic enhancements".
I love the Haze15 OD tone with a little built-in chorus & reverb.
Nails early Rush with an LP- Working Man, Finding my Way, etc.
Does a good early Zep with a Tele.

Never played the 40C, so I have no personal comparison.

 

[wakjob]

which diodes did you pull.... just for future reference?
