Does anyone still like boosting a Marshall?

[yngzaklynch]

While the amps of the week come and go... I'm betting most of you still love the tone of a boosted Marshall. I grew up with the overdriven Marshall tone and for me it's still the ideal tone. Anyone else agree with me on this or is this thinking old and faded?

I just picked up a few marshalls and I still love the boosted tone, it's the tone I grew up with many moons ago and still enjoy.

And you know tone. You have a collection I could only dream of owning! Hope all is well buddy.

I absolutely love the boosted marshall tone, or even the unboosted marshall tone! Its one of my favorite amps.

100 watt Super lead with a boost still is the way to go. Every time I plug into that set up .....I have a huge smile!

Played most amps out there and my 1979 JMP Marshall boosted with a SD-1 is by far the best tone i have ever heard.....

Yep i have played them all and nothing puts a smile on my face as much as the boosted Marshall....Had it 6 months and never had a bad day with it

 

[mboogman]

Yes!

Considering a similar post went up just this week about 800's and a boost.. I'd say yes.

I also have an 800 that I boost. Like going between that and my Randall Lynch box.
