Most stereotypically Marshall amp?

Re: Most stereotypically Marshall amp?

I think the word you were looking for was "quintessentially" Marshall.

Irrelevant comment aside, why are you putting the fact that the amp sounds "like a Marshall" above all other categories that need to be considered? Most Marshall's will have a broadly similar tone, but they each have their own uniqueness that will lend themselves better or worse to your style.

It's like asking someone which rootbeer tastes the most like rootbeer. You won't learn anything, and all you'll get is people telling you which model is their favorite.

The Plexi era Marshall of the late 60's... dimed of course (except Bass on "2" or less).

It's the original dinosaur with the roar of a T-Rex amp circuit that so many have copied or built upon.

This.

Wanna go to the next level? That's what an overdrive pedal is for.

When I hear KISS Alive!, that right there screams the Marshall tone to me.

I would say there are three: the Plexi, the Bluesbreaker/JTM45, and the JCM800.

Not sure about stereotypical Marshalls, but the most 'Typically Stereo' Marshall is the 8240 Valvestate S80 (IMHO).

JVM 410. Does just about every Marshall.

This is basically it.

Just my opinion but whichever Marshalls Paul and Ace were using on Kiss' Love 'Em And Leave 'Em.

My JVM210H had some noise issues at high gain but man that was a fun amp to play. I kinda miss it but I've no need for anything above 25W right now.

I haven't needed 100 watts ever even when with my last full band back in '08. But I had gone through a Switchblade and a Lone Star Special and then landed on the Marshall. Good thing it didn't need to be cranked to sound good for what I needed it to do.
