Is someone posting about a Marshall? Are they using the worst battered Marshall player cliches imaginable? This handy checklist will let you just check off which ones they've used and simplify your response:
Battered Marshall Player Checklist v1.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ ] Had to boost it
-----[ ] To tighten it/ amp was "farty" or "woofy"
-----[ ] Not enough gain
-----[ ] Boost device has clipping circuit (symmetrical diode etc.)
[ ] Mod required
-----[ ] Modder has horrible communication and/or absurd or uncertain wait times
-----[ ] Modder is outright fraudulent/steals amps
-----[ ] Another poster claims modder is bad/their guy would do it better
[ ] Excited to have a master volume
-----[ ] Circuit position of MV (e.g. PPIMV) touted
[ ] Had to use attenuator or load device to achieve sound
[ ] Absurd steps taken to add FX without FX loop
-----[ ] Modulation/pitch shift/delay/reverb/other post FX in front of amp
-----[ ] Power station etc.
[ ] Had to add additional amp to rig
-----[ ] To add missing sounds/address lack of channels
-----[ ] To fix bad sounds
-----[ ] As part of FX scheme
[ ] "Clean" sounds come from rolling down guitar volume
-----[ ] Sounds are laughably not clean
-----[ ] Huge stage volume drop
[ ] Amp made in shithole country
[ ] Amp uses transformers from shithole country
If more battered Marshall player cliches are identified, I'll update the list. But this should get you started.
