Because that sub forum was originally set up for more boutique builders who would then participate in answering questions etc.Just curious as to why "Marshall Amps" is not named in the amp section ?
If you do...........I don't see Jim Marshall chiming in on his builds any time soon.
He might be able to reach us through the interwebs.If you do...........
Even if he was still alive he could not because he never built a single amp . He did have some experience with cabinets on the other hand..I don't see Jim Marshall chiming in on his builds any time soon.
Because we don't have Jim Marshall here...Because the forum is not cool enough!!!
I would love it if he would join here.The JVM designer, Santiago, is apparently back at Marshall. He was real active on the JVM Forums, (before they were gone).
He'd be an interesting participant.. Curious what he comes up with.
One of the best amps I've ever heard was for sale with a video on here about 12 years ago. It was a Marshall, I did not buy it and I dont know who/what the mod was. I have searched endlessly for hours but never found the post.I’ve owned a few Marshall’s thru the years. Not no where near what guys here have owned. There always seems to be Marshall threads in the main forum. My favorite one I owned was a FJA modded jcm 800. 50 watter. Sounded fantastic. Only reason I got rid of it was I scored a Kerry King Marshall. Sounded exactly like it.
Accurate and I'll never play one more than likely. If I was going to get one it want the old kt66 or whatever and those are impossible to find.I think most guys that don’t like Marshalls haven’t had the opportunity to play a real Marshall at volume. Then you’d get it. Even a great 2203 doesn’t measure up to an older metal face JMP Superlead…I’ve had plenty stock/modded 2203s and they are killer until you play a stock vintage Superlead + a boost.
There is just no substitute for that tone. My 72 made my C+ Coliseum sound small.
True story.
Yeah they’re not for everyone. Even with 2 boosts they’re not gonna get that super saturated thing like an EVH or Mesa. But for an open sounding raw tone, for me it’s the best I’ve heard/played. I can now see why all my fav players from the 80s always had a favorite Superlead or 50w that they recorded with.Accurate and I'll never play one more than likely. If I was going to get one it want the old kt66 or whatever and those are impossible to find.
Even if I did get the other, for $2k-$3k I just feel they're so old they're ready to fail. Cant see myself spending so much on something that old and heavy.
That's great news!The JVM designer, Santiago, is apparently back at Marshall. He was real active on the JVM Forums, (before they were gone).
He'd be an interesting participant.. Curious what he comes up with.
If he’s back, I hope he can blueprint a real Jose A Marshall and put out a real deal clone. That would be huge imo.That's great news!
A Marshall sub forum would be great. Maybe someone from the JVM forum could post the whole encyclopedia of modes that exist for the JVM and everything Marshall-related of course.
On the other hand, if Santiago is back, maybe a JVM REBORN is on the way?
