Re: What are your top 3 Marshal amps!!??

1) JCM 800 -- I think this is the best amp Marshall ever made.
2) JVM -- because it can handle high gain
3) 5150 -- I know it's not a Marshall but since I have to choose 3.

Re: What are your top 3 Marshal amps!!??

To be realistic: I don't have really use for huge fullstacks so:

-> my beloved jtm-series ( I acctually bought 3 of'em + cabinets)
-> silver jubilee (I'd like a 2*12 combo or half stack)
-> bluesbreaker combo

the vintagemodern could be interesting too,
but usually I like used stuff

Re: What are your top 3 Marshal amps!!??

Of those I've tried or own:

DSL100
Silver Jubilee 2555
JCM900

Believe it or not the JCM 900 I have rivals the 2555 since the tube change in fact to me it's more articulate and less fizzy.

I may still buy the 2555 though and really give it a whirl and if she doesn't beat the 900 out hands down, on ebay she will go but to be fair I need to hear them side by side.

I'd still keep the jubilee cab though. Shipping it from AK would be way too expensive!

I can't get over how I owned a 2555 brand new when they first came out. I wound up selling it.

1. bluesbreaker (JTM45)
2. jcm 800

Re: What are your top 3 Marshal amps!!??

DSL 50 - because I own it now and love it.
80's JCM800 - as long as I had a place to crank it, and a set of ear plugs
an original Plexi

1-Marshall 6100 anniversary
2-First year JCM 800 ( and a house about 30 miles away from anyone, so I could play the JCM 800)
3-Old super lead ( tone is unmatched IMHO)

Gosh. Where too start. These are in no particular order.
1) JCM 800
2) 1959 100watt Super Lead Plexi
3) JCM 2000 100 watt DSL

Actually I could make this list alot bigger though.

Re: What are your top 3 Marshal amps!!??

Well it would start off like this:
1) Avt275 combo
2) Vintage Modern- don't nknow wich one.
3) JCM800, Zakk Wylde version.

Tonnes of others like the Kerry king signature.
