The 300th amp model?!

No no no.
Where is the sound of a great Tuberadio? First Amp at least in Europe for a lot of players in the 50‘s and 60‘s. Respect to the pioneers!

They really should have sold them as trios.

Amp #1: Play it until it craps out after a month and goes to the repair shop.
Amp #2: The backup for #1
Amp #3: The backup for #2 when it craps out while #1 is still in the shop.
Tbf against Marshall - i had a couple of Marshalls

- JMP from 1977 for 2 years (late 90’s) -
no problems. (scratchy pot as usual)
- JCM 800 from 1986 for 3 years (1990-1993) - no problems. (scratchy pot as usual)

Most of my friends had Marshalls. Bad pots was a known issue. But spray, and you’re back.
This is for M amps made before 1993.

Never had a breakdown on any amp since 1987.
Had 2 sets of tubes/valves break at home, but one was wrong output/ohm from amp. The other idk. Bad tubes, i guess.
Neither was a Marshall.

Maybe i’m lucky, but i really take care of my gear, and i usually don’t buy really old stuff.

I have not owned any Marshalls since late 90’s.
Got a Cornell Plexi 45/50 that sounds like a JTM45/50 and a Plexi 50.

And the Axe has so many killer M inside.

It's a running joke among a lot of guitar players I know. Yes, there have been some great, reliable models, but the truth is they did have some serious reliability issues over some of their product lines.
