Title: Possible mustaine signature marshall????
Post by: Transcend on October 21, 2008, 12:46:52 PM
copied this from one of daves posts from the megadeth forums.

Lastly, I AM going to be appearing at the Guitarfest as a guest of Marshall Amplifiers, my amplifier endorsers and we are going to be making a huge announcement soon from Marshall and there will be a lot of very happy Droogs, prolly more happy Rattleheads, and even more happy guitar and bassists.

There are also a lot of rumours flying around the boards that hes getting a signature amp.

Im hoping for a hot rodded plexi.

well one of the coments on the deth bb was

"It'll proably be a collabaration with Dave Mustaine and Kerry King called the "Dave Mustaine (Beast)" It'll be exactly the same as Kerry's signature, only it smells of coffee, and the control panel that's normally gold is silver. And on the front of the speaker, instead of "Marshall" it'll say "Mustaine" with Kerry King's name in size 2 font just underneath it. "

Hahahahahaha!! That needs to happen.

But, I read in an interview somewhere he'd been using JVMs, so it might be a variation on that?

not trying to sound harsh or anything, but i dont see the point in that, it needs to be something a bit different to their current new amp..

Is it going to sound like his tone now or his tone back in the 80's?

It SHOULD be different BUT... Look at the kerry king signature it isnt too different from the 800s just has a few mods on it and cosmetic changes.

It does sound like something they would do.

No worries, I agree, it should be something different. It's difficult to see what they could add to the JVM anyway!

I read not that long ago that Mustaine had had a rig built by Line 6, and he went on about how great it was.

MAKE UP YOUR MIND DAVE!

Nah, it'll be a standard JCM800 with a coffee machine in it and a boxing glove on a big spring arm that he can hit other members of the band with when he wants to fire them.

his tone when i saw them in 07 at the beginning of the UA tour was awful fizzy & weak

Ah well.

I just hope Laney are ready to do one in a couple of years, and then maybe Boogie a few years after that.

Apparently, back when Andy Timmons was with Laney, they were talking about an Andy Timmons signature head. But then he went to Mesa.

As for a mesa sig, I don't think there would be any one better for it than John Petrucci. I can only imagine a head with tones similar to the Mark IIC+ and Lonestar in one  8)

this is from mustaines most recent post on his forum

"Well, maybe not London calling, but Milton Keynes is! On the weekend of November 4th, I am going to be venturing over to Jolly ole England to visit the Marshall Amplifier factory in Milton Keynes, to visit Dr. Jim Marshall (you would know him as the name "Marshall" on the front of my amps, ever since I started playing), and to make a surprise guest appearance for my amplifier and speaker cabinet endorsement with Marshall Amplifiers and also appearing with Dean Guitars and my equally prestigious Dave Mustaine Signature VMNT guitars."

This is something im quite excited about..

i like mustaine's riffs, and i love his solos.... but i'm sorry i can't take mustaine the man seriously after he endorsed a signature coffee. if this would be a KK Downing signature Marshall I'm sure I'd be as keen as mustard. but... :( :( it had better be exceptional, and not something simple and derivative.
