Sweetwater Presents: A Guide to Marshall Amps
As recognizable as any musical instrument ever used on a stage or in a studio, every new Marshall amp is dipped in rock history before ever getting “dimed in” by some lucky guitarist. In fact, owning a Marshall amp is sort of like being a member of the rock history club – wherever you go, whatever you play, you’ll always be in the best of company. Whether your style of music is classic rock and roll, blues, metal, punk or alternative, you’ve undoubtedly yearned to plug into a Marshall stack and crank it up in front of hungry fans shouting your name.
Below you’ll find an easy guide to finding the right Marshall amp for you and your needs. We’ve included a short description of each series, a general sense of who it was designed for, and a short video interview of one of Marshall’s amp experts taking us through the ins and outs of each series. You can also view several close-up images of each individual amp and get a whole lot more information by clicking on the Marshall amp links in each series.
When you’ve decided which amp you’d like to add to your arsenal, or if you have any additional questions, simply give us a call at 1-800-222-4700 and we’ll help you the rest of the way.
