They make a damn fine guitar amp.
Marshall? Matamp? Orange? Hiwatt? Hell yes to all of them, gimme them hot sizzling EL34 toanz
ok you have to hand it to the Brits
Only if by “it” you mean a century of humiliation.
They do make good speakers and sound equipment too.
Geezers building quality niche electronics in backyard sheds is the only thing that I recognize as culturally British.
They make damn fine guitarists too!
Look i think it was actually the heroin, and it made him bad at covering how shit of a person he is. Having someone spraypaint clapton is god on a wall in the 1960s really went to his head
Oh, he’s absolutely a golden test of just how much one can separate art from the artist.
The fascism is more emblematic of the UK than being a good guitarist.
That’s a really weird picture of David Gilmour
The Brits also invented the lava lamp, so props for that one too.
the only thing i’ll hand to terf island is this
I’ll buy a 10000 of the shittiesht chifi amps before I buy a single british “thing”
Real fancy job copying the Fender Bassman
Consider, if you will, the Fender ProSonic. The ProSonic is heavily based off of the Mesa Boogie Rectifier series, which is itself a modified '59 Bassman circuit. Fender copied a copy of a Fender.
Off-topic but, incidentally, the Fender Princeton Reverb is the best Marshall Plexi as long as you don’t want things like “subtlety” or “a tone stack that makes a damned lick of sense.” If you ever get to try one out – from any era (mine’s a mid-70’s CBS silverface) – run a Rat into the front end, dialed in as a low-to-mid gain, maxed-out volume midrangey boost. Set the volume on the amp to 9 or 10. Set the bass to zero. Set the treble to about 8. Run the output of the amp to a cab loaded with Celestion greenbacks (or similar). Play any Metallica - Kill 'em All riff that you can come up with off the top of your head. Bask. Repeat.
I do want a bassman 100 tho
issuing correction on the above post, regarding the terrorist country Great Britain. you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to them”
we’re re nationalising the trains too
