Your first Marshall was...

[RCM 800]

I think it was around 2004, I got my tsl100 and 1960bv. Had a few brands of tube amps, SS amps, and rack gear before that.

My first amp ever was a Marshall Lead 12 bought new back in '84 or '85.

2204. Modded the hell out it, added a preamp tube, installed push/pull pots on many of the controls which did various functions (don't remember what), then sold it and bought a new Mesa Boogie. Modded that one a bit also (young and crazy), and then went to rack mount gear. I often wonder where those amps are now.

76 JMP 50w Lead, played it yesterday.

My first Marshall amp was my 1973 Superlead that I still have today. If I had to choose between selling it or my '69 Superlead, it would be a very tough choice.

 

[EADGBE]

A 1986 Lead 12 micro stack.

That is a beauty, JMP's are great,

 

[JacksonCharvelAddict]

My first Marshall was the G50RCD. It came with the wrong footswitch and the Park amp manual.

My first Marshall was a JMP-1 pre-amp.

This was back in the days when having rack gear was the thing to do and that Marshall was a real improvement over the ADA MP1 I'd been using.

I owned it until 2014 & then sold it. That was dumb but it was mostly going unused + kids cost money It never gave me a problem and sounded great.

 

[SmokestackElRopo]

Marshall Valvestate VS100 R 1x12. I liked it! Given to a friend along with VS102, too weak compared to VS100 1x12.

 

[Filipe Soares]

VS15 in 1999...

 

[LPMarshall hack]

50 watt JCM900 MK3 from 1990. Still gig it. Bought sight unseen from eBay in 2002 for $500. Didn’t know shit about Marshall’s then…only knew I wanted one. Got lucky!

 

[Jethro Rocker]

A new 1983 2203 white with matching cab.
Wish wish wish I hadn't sold it to a buddy in '87 to fund the Silver Jubilee combo.
At least he still has it and is around....

 

[BlueX]

Very late to the party: My first is a SV20H/SV212 stack. Still got it, of course, and trying my best to make up for lost time.

 

[Nkyrental]

DSL50 H and 2x12 1936 cabinet.
Have been a Fender guy since 1973.

Mine was a brand new NMV 50w JMP/'1987' I bought in Sept 1974--what a great sounding Marshall it was. Traded it for the 'new' 50w JMP MV model in the late 70`s & traded that for MM RD112 a few years later which i still have. That `74 JMP was special--wish I kept it but it had to be cranked pretty loud to sound it`s best. Bought a used '1987XL' reissue around 2009--it was more aggressive than the `74 JMP & was LOUD! I`m now very happy w/ my '2204' combo & the SC20H.

 

[Smellytele]

The '78 2203 that I got last week LOL! I can't quit playing it, it sounds SO good! Better than I could have imagined.

Mine was/is still the one in my avatar early 80s 2204 pic!
