We believe Marshall has established itself as the name behind the ultimate rock amp. But what is the best Marshall ever? Should it be vintage or modern? Master Volume or non-Master Volume? Real vintage or a modern amp? Rectifier tube vs. silicon diodes? 50 or 100 watts? What’s better?
In this episode, we’ll focus on 50-watt contestants only:
Thomas’ favorite rock amp is his 1969 50-watt “Plexi” Marshall, loaded with 5881 tubes. Joining him again is Manuel Bastian, whose favorite Marshall is his 1967 Plexi with a JMP faceplate, rectifier tube, and EL34 tubes. We’ll compare these amps and also pit them against a modern 50-watt Friedman BE and, of course, the AMP1 Mercury and AMPX. Thomas plans to continue this series with his 1968 Plexi and the new Friedman Plexi.
We will explore the differences in various designs and technologies and how they affect tone. Additionally, Manuel will bring the new IK Multimedia ToneX, so we can get his feedback and discuss its merits and the stakes with the latest modeling technology.
Prepare for a nerdy tone episode that offers deep insights into the world of tone at the highest level, using some of the most sought-after amps of all time.
