Re: The poll to end all polls!
I was really hoping for a "both" option. I own both kinds.
But I voted Fender.

Marshall, of the KT66 variety, preferably through greenbacks or V30s.
I guess it goes without saying that I own a Vintage Modern. I do like Fender Super Reverbs a lot as well, though. Preferably pushed into serious power amp distortion. Back in my death metal days, this was actually the preferred rig of the other guitarist, with a Marshall Jackhammer in front. Gritty, punchy and boomy, yet tight.

I saw a light and it wasn't from the plexiglass control panel of a similar british legend or the silver grill of an american tradition but from the gold logo of a different kind of animal from across the universe.

Re: The poll to end all polls!
I voted marshall.
Honestly, they're both great. I've heard that early marshalls were copies of fender amps but I have no way of backing that up, so it's just pure and unadulterated speculation coming from me.
They both can get great clean and dirty tones but that marshall half clean/half dirty sound makes my hair stand on end. Honestly, I like the marshall clean as much as the fender clean, even though the fender clean is more iconic or what have you. I also really like the sound pete townshend got from his hiwatts, clean and dirty.

Re: The poll to end all polls!
The first Marshall circuits are, as far as I can remember, copies of Fender Bassmans using tubes available in the UK.
Re: The poll to end all polls!
Fenders for clean. No Marshall does clean like they do & Boogie took the Fender architecture and pushed it beyond anything I've heard from Marshall dirty wise.
That said: That Jubilee is the one exception. Wish I still had mine. I've owned so many Marshalls I've forgotten 'em all but that one was magic.
Meant to quote the Jubilee earlier in the thread but got lazy.
