It's been too long since they've produced a 'From The Museum' video.

They were the most worthwhile watches from them.

Having seen the amount of amps they've got on hand at the museum, they surely couldn't have run out of amps to feature...?

Have you reached out to 'em? Perhaps they thought nobody was interested.

Interesting on the Marshall front:

- I have a 1974, 2061, JTM45, JCM800.

- Classic Plexi? For this, I only have MIAB pedals!

- No JCM900, No Jubilee, a bit too hairy for me in my thinking, but Rich Robinson gets good sounds from the Jube...

Maybe I'll get a Studio Vintage Plexi type (and there is a Jubilee too, love silver tolex look) ... or maybe just take those $$$ and look for the next generation profiler, modeler.

:unsure:

I have always loved loud tube driven amps. Not just the sound of them, but the feel of the vibrations as well. Vibration therapy I guess you could call it. Even the guitars themselves start to vibrate. They begin to resonate like no tomorrow. I would sometimes play my semi hollows because they did it times ten.

Distortion added to a loud overdriven amp seems to diminish its effect. The more you add the more it seems to become just a mess of many frequencies. At the same volume, as well, distortion seems to have worse effect on our ears. Distortion did give us the ability to achieve a similar sound at lower volumes, but at lower volumes vibrational feel is lost.

How we sense music shouldn't be limited to simply what we hear through our ears. An orchestra combining many instruments creates amazing vibrational feel. Depending on proximity, size of space, levels of distortion and how much you play ear protection or ear monitors are advised at certain levels.

I added a video below of more Marshall's.
