What Marshall amp sounds like a Marshall?

[harddriver]

When I think Marshall, two amps come to mind. Plexi and JCM800.

YUP........................I would only add the JMP models in between the Plexi/Superlead and the JCM800's.

 

[Beyond Black]

Live Zeppelin
Bon era AC/DC
Slayer Reign in Blood

 

[Beyond Black]

I am so unqualified to answer this question. But the best marshall i have heard is a silver jubilee

Jubes are great amps on their own, but when I played mine back to back with my JMP 2203 it just sounded too dark, compressed and scooped. Still a great amp, but maybe 70% Marshall and 30% something else.

I think ACDC Highway and Back in Black
Uli Roth Scorpions era
Gary Richrath REO

MSG for JMP’s

For more modern Tesla Mechanical Resonance

Alex Lifeson is thee Marshall sound for me. However, I do like tons of players that have boosted Marshalls.

I said a JCM800 2203/04 is where my mind goes to when I think Marshall. But I've been watching some of Jason's videos and damn if these aren't some sweet Marshall tones from some of his improvement mods.

I have a bone to pick with @burger now. Watching your videos has really given me the modding bug, but I'm at odds on which one I would want to try first. Plus I have to track down a good deal on a donor amp.

For those saying ACDC tones

Check out the Marshall Studio JTM in this video at 4:10

You can get that Marshall Midrange from all Marshalls...from an MG to a 68 Superlead. But, the amps that I like best are the ones that when dialed right, with/without a boost will literally bite your head off at volume....but stand off to the side a bit, and hit your fav AC/DC or VH riffs...and I get goosebumps it sounds SOO damn good. Like nothing else....not a Wiz, SLO, C+ or early Recto...NOTHING sounds as good to me as a cranked early 70s Superlead, or a cranked 2203 with/without a boost.
Those 2 are my fav tones, with an honorable mention to the 2210s as I have 2 absolute killers in the house now. Very underrated amps IMO.

To be honest, there's no Marshall with a similar sound to a JTM though which means it's nothing like the other Marshalls - even moreso when it starts to break up and overdrives, it's not like a Fender, it's not like a Vox. It's a Marshall set apart from other Marshall.

Even moreso for the "feeling" of a JTM series.

[Floyd Eye]

The ones Clapton used at Hyde Park in 1968.

I’m sure this means something different to everyone. When I think “Marshall” tone, my mind immediately goes to old Super Leads and 2203/2204s.

Yep.

 

[RaceU4her]

i just want one of these

Now I want to try one using an ES. You've got to stop doing this to me.

Still after all these years, the Mark Cameron modded Marshalls sound what I would want. Other than that I like the JMP 2203/2204s the best.

 

[Bardagh]

I also probably think of the 2203/2204 sound first, especially that classic Anthrax 80’s tone, but it’s hard to deny the pure AC/DC JTM tones. I also always think of the super lead tones on Mercyful Fate’s Melissa, but really super leads are used on so many albums and by so many players, they are probably “the” Marshall.
