Marshall Plexi players

[rsm]

The list of guitarists that used plexis is long, and know. Hendrix, AC/DC, early Kiss, Yngwie, Rhoads, ...



Besides Kiss, one of my fav plexi tones is Paul Kossoff (Free); looking into it he preferred Celestion G12H-55hz bass speaker, and often used two plexi 100w heads one each for two 8x12 cabs. (also used 4x12 cabs), and Orange amps,



Another user was Jeff Beck, still using a Les Paul, with the Jeff Beck Group




when you think plexi tones, who/what guitarists/songs come to mind?

Anything from the 70’s…lol… allman brothers at the Fillmore… that’s some low gain pure tone…. That foghat rnr album has some great raunch on it. I always assumed it was just dimed plexi’s…..

says Kossoff usually used Marshalls and occasionally Orange when I looked. Some of the more famous vids he's using Orange

They had a JMP from the early 80s at GC last night that I so badly wanted to try out with an SD1. Unfortunately, the amp was not turning on for some reason.

The backline at The Beat Club in Germany was Orange amps for a while in the late 60s-early 70s. Many groups were filmed there and it certainly gave the impression that they were Orange users.

Koss had it! Killer tone, feel and of course the vibrato! Another great band with killer plexi tones was Humble Pie. Rocking the Fillmore with both Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton. Awesome! The live stuff after Frampton left & Clem Clempson took over is also killer. Clem seemed to have a little more aggression/fire in his playing. If you can track down the King Biscuit Flower Hour live album, its worth it.
