Re: asking the impossible....
Hm, marshall preamp into fender... Well, how about a JMP-1?
Or for a cheaper/less midi approach, something like an old Peavey Rockmaster preamp, or a Real Tube pedal or rack (The blue model is more fendery, the black more hot-rodded marshall).
There's a number of more recent designs, but you may have more luck at finding something affordable in an older secondhand.
I messed with a Hughes and Kettner Metal Shredder that was absolutely amazing at marshally sounds... once I replaced the harsh, bright stock tubes with some of those incredibly dark sovtek LPS preamp tubes, which brought it's INSANE brightness under control and made it sound just like a classic hot-rodded marshall on medium gain settings. Awesome.
I wish I'd kept it, but I ran into some issues with it making weird tearing sounds with the single coils I had, and thought it was something wrong with the amp. Turned out to be the pickups... *sigh*
