I don't care for Marshall's

I've never played a Marshall before
Me... only through a Fractal. I tend to gravitate toward MESA or Diezel. Weird, as even when I do slower lead stuff with emotion, I tend to pick one of those two... I like the dark, grainy feel (sound) of them. Somewhat like Vai, in that regard... warm and not sharp.
 
I can understand. I had a Marshall Valvestate in the early 1990’s, so I don’t really count that as a Marshall, even though I guess it was. But from about 1995 until 2018, I never had a Marshall, didn’t desire them and didn’t care about them. In 2018 on a whim I picked up a used JVM cheap and really loved it, just really one setting dialed in but its Golden. Then last year I picked up a 1984 JCM800 and it’s a great sounding amp too.

Variety is the spice of life and tastes change. Wouldn’t give up on them. You can get different sounds out of them too.
 
Long time jubilee owner and when I first got it I liked it distortion tone, but there is a lot more than that in the box. Great cleans. Great crunch by cranking the clean channel. A pretty cool rhythm clip. I am always amazed at all the tones I can coax from a seemly simple amp.
