Marshall Amplification JCM800 Series - Manual (Page 4)

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it
again: I won’t even consider trying
anything else – something that
consistent you just don’t f**k with.”
Slash
“I’ve experimented with different makes
of amp but came to the conclusion that
the Marshall 100 Watt stack was the
best rock amp.”
Angus Young
(AC/DC)
“What’s my secret weapon? Well,
aside from sheer volume (laughs), I’d
have to say my Marshalls, because
they’re really great for what I do.”
Dave Murray
(Iron Maiden) “I can make my Marshall go from a
screaming loud tone to a beautiful
clean, warm, bassy sound with a
mere flick of a pick-up switch.”
Paul Weller
“I’ve been playing guitar for 19 years and
have used Marshalls the whole time . . .
there’s no reason for any other amp.”
Steph Carpenter
(Deftones)
“Bought my first 100 Watt Marshall stack in
the ’60s and I have never found anything
that comes close. Marshall is my sound.
From The Herd, through Humble Pie to this
day. I’m a Marshall lifer!”
Peter Frampton
“The Marshall sound is the balls.
It’s the big daddy and it has that
growl that no other amp has.”
Jeff Beck
“What does a Marshall sound like?
Strength, warmth, commitment, beauty
and destruction . . . all wrapped up in a
giant f**kin’ wrecking ball!”
Zakk Wylde
(BLS, Ozzy Osbourne)
“Old Marshalls never die – they
just blow your f**king head off!”
Lemmy
(Motorhead) “Even when I experimented with other
heads, I still ran them through Marshall
4 x12”s. Marshall amps have become an
integral part of my tone.”
Eric Johnson
“When my tone sounds and feels right,
something happens that makes me feel
alive.That’s why I use Marshalls.”
Dave Mustaine
(Megadeth) “Marshall’s the best rock ‘n’ roll amp in
the business. Nobody has topped them
since they were first made in ’62.”
Ace Frehley
“We use Marshall because when we
jump on them they still work, and
they sound good . . . real good!”
Matt Bellamy
(Muse)
“Plug in and enter the world of
vintage heaven, just how it should be.
It just makes you want to play, and
you can’t say any better than that.”
Mick Box
(Uriah Heep)
“To me, Jim Marshall is the ultimate rock star
because he made all of us better! It’s an
incredibly unique honour to have my
signature on an amp right next to his.
Plus, it’s just f**kin’ cool and flattering that
Jim thinks enough of me to roll with my own
head.”
Kerry King
(Slayer) “I plugged into a Marshall 25 years ago and
from my first crunchy riffs to my latest
screaming leads, my Marshalls were always
right behind me, lot’s of them! There will
always be imitations, but in the end there can
only be one, the only one, Marshall!”
Yngwie Malmsteen
“They are simply the best, most solid
sounding, dependable and toughest
touring amps in the world!”
Janick Gers
(Iron Maiden)
“Millions of musicians all around the
world use them, they can’t all be
wrong can they!”
KK Downing
(Judas Priest)
