Ok Ok,
Let me try to explain the point of this thread one last time....
I named this thread "Dream Marshall Rig" as I wanted to know if someone had built their Dream Marshall Rig.
BUT and and its quite a big But...However..... (and I did outline this in my very first post) I am looking for guys who have maybe bent the rules a little....
Guys that have maybe used (for example) a Marshall Jcm800 and somehow by using the vast array of sound sculpture available on the Axe 3, managed to dial in a killer Marshall Clean tone?
I don't know if this has been done. Its just an example.... inherently, the Jcm800 is not necessarily revered for its Killer clean tone is it? Another example would be a arriving at a Huge Slaying Metal Tone using the JTM45 but dialling it in differently with eq and then adding some pedals for example.
These are the kind of ideas I'm looking for. Not clips or presets per-say..... just ideas or concepts that people are using. Y'know, Off the wall stuff that people are getting results with using Sims of Marshall heads but that are getting good results in a different way?
I cannot provide any examples myself other than what I have suggested above because I haven't done it yet but I will be experimenting with this idea.
Why should you use the Simulation as its intended just because of the name associated with it. Think outside the box here. It's what the virtual world allows you to do!
Just 'cause it has Marshall SLP Plexi on the box doesn't mean you can't change every aspect of the amp into something completely different right?
The Axe fx has the capability to do this.
Please Please, do not treat this thread as a call for help or technical support.
I am perfectly capable of setting up my own killer Marshall Tones. In fact so much so, in comparison to some of the clips I've heard on this site and others, I have some of what
I consider the best tones on my AXE 3 from the usual Marshall suspects. I.e the Plexi, Jtm45 etc etc Blah Blah.......
In fact I'm so bored with these tones, that i am now looking for something different and that's what this thread is trying to encourage.
But Hey, if none of you guys out there have reached this stage that's fine. Maybe I'm just too far in front at the moment.....
I will certainly be going down this avenue and posting my results as they develop. As I feel this is what the Axe 3 is all about. Tweaking the parameters in the virtual world and coming up with something new. instead of churning out the same old tones....
Im very surprised I am the first to think in this way and nobody else has started to experiment in this area. I thought some of you guys would be all over this. But it seems you are just happy to make a Plexiglas sound like a Plexiglas and so forth......
Once you dig into the pre-amp and power amp sections of these amps.......everything changes.....DRASTICALLY.
All I wanted to know was, if anyone had thought like I have, and beat me to it?? and could post or state how they have achieved it?
Seems not.
So, when I make a Rig that uses Marshall heads in an unconventional way and I
still make them sound amazing, that will be my
DREAM MARSHALL RIG!
In the meantime, If anyone does have any ideas of this nature please feel free to post.
Does that make things clearer?
