[QUOTE="gibsonexplorer, post: 147816, member: 3539"] I imagine it has a lot to do with the music one listens to most. "Tone" is certainly a headgame in my book, and like your brain, changes frequently. Most of the Marshall lovers were raised on a steady diet of british rock and metal (and there are many photos of Jimmy Page, the world's top gear salemsan, using them), so naturally they gravitate to that el34 sound, much as blues players to the Fender 6l6, 6v6 sound. Same with the Celestion and Jensen speakers, which you know is a huge part of what you hear. I definitely think that the more pristine amps, such as Hiwatt and Fender, have their place in music. It is simply the Marshall sound that is on my favorite records that evokes the emotions for me. My primary amp is a custom job that relies heavily on the Marshall pedigree. In the room, it is pure heaven, but on the record I just did my band it is rather tame sounding. I imagine using an actual Marshall, with its faults, would do that wild animal sound better. Or maybe the name engineer we used didn't try that hard...he won't give up the stems so I am never gonna find out. [/QUOTE]
