    Re: British vs. American sound?

    Remember that all amps at one point were a fender lol! That said, lines get a little blury when you take out the el34s and add 6550s to your marshall.

    I prefer to say my Marshall sounds like a Marshall... and not necessarily british. i mean, i do have british ancestors and can hook a microphone to it and talk in a british accent and make it sound british if it makes people happy!
    Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

        Everything else (and I mean everything else) is some variation on one of those four themes.

              I don't know. That amp has a versitile tone packed inside.
              But, it is pretty thick. (Like an American tone.)

              I think it's confused. Just depends on how you use, it I guess.

                The bassman may have inspired Marshall but no one would ever confuse it for one.

                  Yeah, the bassman is kinda unique.
                  But, I think that is the amp that started the "high gain" craze, Which led to the British invasion.
                  I'd still love to have one!

                    Huh. Well, I'm pretty much 100% German, so I guess I should sell my junk and start saving for an Engl or a Diezel, eh?

                    Actually, that's not a bad idea...

                      I'm looking at the new AER electric amp.

In our opinion, save your money.....don't even buy them! LOL
                        Aww, come on Joneser...that is a little harsh, they are the one amp company that I think really covers the whole spectrum pretty well.

                        You should try an Electra Dyne, sounds like it is something more up your alley than some of their more notorious amps.

                          I think it is more of a marketing type thing. To me a Tweed has a mid range sound so you cant say that is a British thing. Also I have a Vox that gets some nice clean sounds so you can't say that is an American thing. Did I just break a record for using the word thing?
                          Oh my God! ,Whatever ,Etc.

                            Seriously those things are beasts. They use EL34's and do not sound "British". It's all marketing, just use your ears. Generally I like 6L6's more then EL34's but then again I've heard plenty of EL34's i like (Engl). I just don't like the Marshall Sound.
