Re: Any fans of the Marshall 3203 head?
Welcome to the family, Marshall.
Only messed around with for 10 minutes so far, going to dive into it more this evening, but I’m liking what I’m hearing. Haven’t owned anything Marshall for 18 years. I’m thinking this could make a great Wet/Dry stereo rig with the Orange.

I've heard the first Candlebox CD was done mostly on an Marshall Artist (and also mixed with a Peavey VTM).....Killer tones there!Only you can decide what "good" sounds like!

not familiar with the 3203, but its interesting that for as little respect as Peavey seems to get, their amps seem to be associated with alot of dam* good music. The VTM seems so under appreciatedBelieve me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.

I love my 3203. i get fantastic AC/DC tones on the normal channel, and with a MXR EQ in the loop, I can get fantastic metal tones on the boost channel. Mine is playing through a Laney 4x10 cab with Fane speakers.
Plenty of info and mods on the Marshall Amp Forum. I use pedals and EQ's to avoid modding mine.

FWIW, when I saw Candlebox back in the day Peter was using the 100W Peavey Classic heads, no Marshalls or VTMs in sight. They had some big hits with their first disc, and they were from Seattle so I don't think it was grunge that killed them, more the sophomore album jinx.

Originally posted by Swampy View PostI’m happy with it. Plenty of volume. Definitely Marshall toned. I’ve never spent a lot of time with an 800, but I’ve owned a JCM900 in the 90’s. Reminds me of that amp a little, just quite a bit gainy-er with the boost channel dimed.
