    The “Do most EHX users also use Fenders“-thread made me think !

    I am playing with the idea of getting a Marshall VintageModern – the only Marshall that i like the tone of.
    Fender & EHX sounds good to my ears because most fender amps are clean sounding, but how would a “dirty-Marshall” sound with added dirt from an EHX unit ?

    Is there any one of you, or bands that you know of, that use Marshalls & EHX DIRT BOXES to get their tone ?

    All info very welcome !

    ;)

    Thanks…

    Never been a Dino Jr. fan – too poppy sounding for me, but i do like his new sig Jazzmaster, and he does have good tone !
    What EHX would he be using in this vid ?

    Anyone else here use EHX into a Marshall ?

    Vintage Big Muff for the extra dirt (seems he has a posh switching system now to keep them all safe) and I believe that swirly stuff is a small stone (or maybe a flanger) I’m not sure….

    EHX in a Marshall? Come on!

    Smashing Pumpkins! The early Pumpkins tone was Big Muff in Marshall stacks. Not the mention the Small Stone taped to James’ Gibson Flying V…

    The thing about marshalls is they aren’t clean like fender amps, that always put me off. They look cool and intimidating though. I like mesa stacks, they sound sick and are probably the only amp distortion I really like.

    I’d like to try a mesa but they are astronomically priced over here…
