The Ugly Amps Thread

Bland and boring? That design is classic.

Yep. Bland and boring. For those that love Marshall, an opinion would obviously be different. For those of us who don't have any kind of a love fest for marshall like some around here, nor even like how those amps sound anyway, may find their visual appearance a bit "bland and boring."

that amp may look "bland and boring" as you put it but it shaped the sound of rock guitar and i think it is very classy looking especially the white ones with gold logo

It's not just the sound, the look has also been imitated many times (eg, Deliverance) because it's classic and classy.



Unrelated side question: do you have a tribal tattoo?


Just curious.

I would think SNAKE FANGS and LIGHTNIN" BOLTS with..........

an ORANGE SNOW FENCE grill.........

would help make it ROCK and SLICE through the mix

Yes it has been imitated many many times. At least Splawn jazzes theirs up with some cool colors and piping. I think a Deliverance is pretty ugly too.

A tribal tattoo??? Ahhh... I know where you are going with this one. No I do not. I'm one of those "normal" looking people. No tats, piercings, colored hair, huge facial hair, and my clothes even fit. Sorry.

Yep, the Cobra surely does not belong in this thread, it's damn nice looking amp. Too bad I sold it. Loved the tone of it but it wasn't a very loud amp and I had to have it wide open and had feedback problems. Anyways not the point here.

I dislike all Marshall with the "big write".
The black grill cloth and that plastic like tolex

But there are worse looking amps around.

I'm sure I'll get shit for this but I don't think the Diezel VH4 is necessarily a great looking amp

a friend of mine bought the 1x12 combo, they sound ok but look like shit. every amp should have a VU meter, right.

 

[glip22]

Expensive too.
