This might be the best sounding Marshall I've ever heard
Yup, this one and the one that Steve Vai was using, also a Jose modified one.
Agree
Yep this thing sounds wicked
Most "Jose" amps I have heard sound thin but this is warm and fat. Sounds amazing. I hope he got some Kemper profiles of it.
I still want to know the secrets of Johnny Ramone's JCM800's. If anyone knows, tell me.
Now lookit.
Let’s all not get hysterical over a modded MarshHOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
🤣🤣🤣👌🏼
🤣
I copied my tones straight since I watched this video. Still watching this few times to revisit the details 😁👍
I wanna push thumbs up 25 times at that comment, so funny it's nuts...!
That is the holy grail sound for those of us that don’t play 62 string guitars tuned to drop X lol
LMAO!!!!!!
Or play with one finger..
You mean for players that have 62 strings but only play one of them!
Yes people that can hear what tone is
Marshall sound and whatever the fuck sonic youth used to record with. That's what I want under my tonal belt. Lol
You're a global treasure to the guitar community Pete
Hey thanks so much for watching!
Completely agree.
Amen, Kuhboom. Well said 🤜🤛
Definitely
Thanks 🙏
Absolutely!
Dr.Feelgood has one of the best guitar sounds. That amp is just killer and they gave it to the right man to demo it!
Absolutely. Always loved the guitar tones on that album. And so well produced.
Guitars massive... but also enormous drums and bass.... one of the best rock intos of all time....impossible not to turn it up!
@@SteveR5954 Yes the drums and the bass were always massive in Mötley Crüe. First time i listened to "New Tattoo" my reaction was that the drums don't sound the same. And they were played by Randy Castillo (RIP) who was also another legend. Tommy Lee has a unique way of hitting the drums just like John Bonham and Ginger Baker
Bob Rock is ultimately responsible for that sound that everyone hears on DF.
Big, huge, dimensional- like you’re actually listening to them play live.
Metallica’s Black Album as well.
Give credit where it’s due.
Bob Rock is THE Man.🤘🏻
@@Squidz66 t
Holy shitballs.
Hey buddy! It's cool to see that all my fav youtubers watch one another videos
I’m gonna say Mick’s tone is as legendary as EVH and Lynch IMO
I agree, when it's Mick you know it's Mick !
I don’t get Lynch at all he’s ok.
No doubt! Mick has such a killer FAT Rock Tone & writes some of the best riffs in rock & roll history 🤘🤘
I knew this when I was a kid listening to Shout at the Devil. The most raw guitar sound ever.
@@czito Yes!! Love the guitar sound on that album
Mick had one of the best live sounds EVER.
This amp, at least in the mix! Most likely!
@@PeteThorn The sound you got out of that amp IS the Dr. Feelgood tone. Now all I need is for you to get a stock1970's Ibanez Destroyer and plug it into that EVH rig you and Dave Freidman had, so we can put that mythical tone to bed. Love your channel
Man we saw them on that farewell tour and honestly Alice Cooper blew them out of the arena. Vince was so bad, pathetic really, with the mic constantly stuck out to the crowd, Tommy was just a circus act with the roller coaster, and Nikki, well, in an arena, the bass is just booming and rolling around and nothing is even discernable....but Mick. Mick freaking Mars just ripped and roared all night. Every single riff, all the classics...Shout, Live Wire, Feelgood, Kickstart, Looks, he was as good as he ever was. The solo on Home Sweet..OMG. That guy belongs in the hall of fame. Guys can only dream of writing riffs like that and sounding like he does live and on record.
Richard Fortus is an absolute badass. First time I ever saw him play I was blown away. 🤟🏻
Ya he rips! Very versatile also!
Mick Mars rocks. So underrated
THANK YOU for doing this before the amp disappeared into obscurity. This is the ONLY the source of this amp demo'd all by itself.
Pete playing Steve Jones on a Plexi... This is a wonderfull day !
Steve is criminally underrated. He made so much awesome music outside the Pistols that only few people heard it: Iggy Pop, Neurotic Outsiders, his solo records, etc.
All the hands it’s been through,and Pete’s the one who instantly thinks to share it with his loyal family of guitarists.
Once again proof that Pete is LEGENDARY! Thanks Pete
The sound I grew up on, brings back so many memories. Thankfully it fell into Pete’s hands. I can’t think of anyone else to break this thing down and explain, knob by knob, why that sound was so special to me. He not only shows each and every sound to get out of the gear, his knowledge of how to get that sound is top notch. Thank you for sharing this piece of rock n roll history with us.
This video deserves to be considered a historical document. Thank you Pete.
Wow the Dr Feelgood tone!!! 💥 💥 💥 what a treasure!!!
Man, Pete. Us old punk dudes live on this tone, and your reference to Steve Jones is not lost on me. High gain, sure, but spongey and crispy is totally key. I'm not necessarily a Motley Crue fan, but when I heard Dr. Feelgood I connected with that tone. You've now made the connection!
The dangers of watching Pete Thorn demo an amp are 1) he makes everything sound spectacular and 2) I invariably end up wanting to buy or build something.
The intro playing and tone with this amp was so powerful! My jaw hit the floor on the first chord! You know when you first hear a great song or guitar tone and you immediately recognize how great it is? So cool to hear Pete play this.
Actually, Steve Jones didn't use a Marshall on all of those early Sex Pistols tracks. He used a totally cranked Silverface Fender Twin that he stole from Bob Marley and the Wailers when they did the Old Grey Whistle test TV show in England. True story.
that's true but later on live he started using the 800's. Listen to his tone on the Iggy Pop album Instinct.
@@guitarexpert2245 the 800 did not exist until the early 80s, with the sex pistols he used the marshalls of the time in live shows, which were the jmp
@@AndreAmeli Yep, JMP until the 80's he move the the 800's
I inherited a ‘68 only super reverb 4 x 10. It sounds amazing to me.
Dude I'm actually jealous on this one!!! I freaking Love Mick Mars, the man is why I play guitar. Motley Crue may be a meme now days but I always thought he was a monster guitarist and still do.
Dr Feelgood is one of the best sounding albums ever made to me. Production and tone are top notch.
Dr. Feelgood riff is SPOT ON Pete! Whoever got their hands on that amp is one happy person
Anyone who loves Marshall amps would want this one for sure. It stays bright & tight even with high gain. That's what gives it it's tone. Your a fortunate one Mr Thorn to be able to test drive it.
This one will haunt me a little. It was unique
Mick Mars never revealed all his tonal secrets but his tone is huge with Mötley Crüe. He always sounded great.
I always thought his tone was a secret. I guess not now!! Thank you for putting this out! Always one of my favorite heavy tones.
I could listen to you and Richard talk about amps and guitars all day. Loved your interview with him. Please keep bringing him back.
I was searching the tones in my head for years, discovered and owned my first modified JMP last year and I haven't looked back!!!!!
Still missin mine badly
That red Germino underneath that marshall is a badass amp too. Greg Germino make a awesome plexi
Man that Knaggs guitar! Wow!! Killer SS
Might be a Scala, not Knaggs.
That’s a sweet guitar tone! Mick Mars wrote some legendary riffs. They’re very catchy which I feel is just as important as being a very technical player.
To this day ( and I’m 54 ) this IMO is the greatest intro to a rock song ever.
Wow-this has to be the best sounding and most versatile Marshall I’ve ever heard! Pete, hopefully you were able to get some Kemper/Quad Cortex captures while it was in your possession!
I had the Richard's Voodoo Amp for a repair back in 2016 when GNR camed to Argentina and its the clone if this Marshall!
Im glad that you made a video!
Man I've seen your vids and you are able to get your own badass tones!
@@WyattWillis88 thanks!
I really liked the fortus amp but i got my own marshall high gain design called Antares
Crunchier than my Kellogg's cornflakes. I love how much 2k crunch it gets without saturating into a more modern tone and without getting icepicky.
I don't think I've seen Pete enjoy a tone as much as this. So damn good!!!
Awesome video. I love the historical background on these special pieces of gear. So cool. Thanks 🤘😊
Watching you play that amp Pete - reminds me of how excited you used to look back in the early days of your channel - like you've gone back home!
I’m still just a guitar nerd
Thanks for the great video Pete. Always wondered why the US glam rock bands had a heavier tone despite using the same old Marshalls. Would be great to see one about Tom Keifers amps. Apparently he used SLP's as well.
Wow blast from the past there!!! I always loved the tone Mick had goin’ on and the production on Dr. Feelgood!!!
Can’t wait to kick back with some cold beers for this one!
I hope Dave Friedman will make a limited run of clones of these for Richard Fortus as hinted at during their recent Tone Talk.
That’s exactly what Richards signature Voodoo R4 amp is, a clone of this amp.
And charge a ridiculous amount for them so none of us people that love that amp can afford it with out getting divorced.
@@hellboundTX333 I was wondering about that, because otherwise outside of death(and even then....) I couldn't think of a reason to sell this.
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 Choices my friend...Choices.
The voodoo r4 amp is impossible to buy.
Blow me away!! Superb tone and superb playing! Thank you so much for sharing this Mr. Thorn! Rock out man!
Thank u!
1992JMP super bass .circa 1972.purple head used by Gary Moore.
Damn I want a Friedman 20W version of this. Dunno how, but Dave is a Wizard at making el84 sound like big bottles.
Marshall has a 20-watt Plexi, with EL-34's. Hot Mod has a plug-in add a pre tube mod, $200. Total would be $1,600. A lot less than a new 100-watt.
Pink taco
Ceriatone Son Of Yeti gets close to this too.
He's said on Tone-Talk several times he bias the tubes extremely hot like almost absurd levels to make the sound bigger!
@@WyattWillis88 I love playing through my Friedman Wildwood 20 Pink Taco. It hits close to the sound of Dave’s Be 50, which I am also a proud owner who is now up to my eyeballs in debt. But I smile every time I hit a overdriven G.
Can't wait to hear that amp in action! Really awesome that you're making this video!
Amazing 🤩. Great 👍. Thank You So Much 🤘
Awesome amp, mick used it at us festival in 83. It has the tone big time.
A couple of close up gut shots would have been the icing on this video. Us hackers/modders would really appreciate it! One of the best sounding Marshalls I've ever heard.
Wow !!!! Little Jonesy there !!! Thanks for that ! amazing sounding Marshall ,, one of a kind for sure ,, isnt it just amazing how many great Marshalls there are ? Im sure that there is just as many great Fenders, but , it just seems as though the Marshall platform has offered so much more to the world of rock guitar players than pretty much anything else out there ,, Thanks again Pete !
I can't believe this amp came up for sale. The ONE time I didn't have an extra $40k in the gear budget. Just the worst timing...
Wow, me too! What's the odds right?
it sold for 40k?
One more fan hole and it would have been 50k

Mr. Pete Thorn, you are the best. Thanks for making some of the best guitar community youtube vids. Fan for life.
Thanks man!
Awesome! Looking forward to this🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Legendary amp! The Dr. Feelgood sound, that's incredible.
Bang on. 👍
The guitars sound amazing on that album. It took me years of listening to Dr.Feelgood then one day, for some reason, I paid attention to the guitar sound and ....BAM!
So good.
Taking my 11 yo to see Crue (and Def Leppard - but really going for Crue) in Sept. he’s totally into them. can’t wait! Proud papa.
More Mr. Fortus...all the Richard you can give us Pete...dude is solid af.
AND!!!... detailed gut shots of that amp before you send it off !!!
You explained everything in this video so clear and consice. This should be a model for how to break down an amp for others. You are a true pro. Such a pleasure to watch and learn. And what an amp! The first rock album I got addicted to.
This amp is the exact tone I have been trying to achieve my entire life. It's glorious!
You know I had to drop 2 cents in. Consistently you amaze on these deep dives. Great tone, Amps in the zone was a great freaking idea.
The raw sound of the amp translated "really" well on RUclips! Thanks for the interesting demo.
By far my favourite amps in the zone video Pete . Regards Simon SKOG
That's insane that this was used on Dr. Feelgood! Why would Mick or anyone let this go? It's a serious piece of rock history. I still remember getting Dr- Feelgood back in 1990, one of my favorite albums. Mick Mars is such an underrated guitarists, everything he touches turns to gold.
@@jeffking8903 for sure... but considering how successful he is, I find it hard to imagine he has to sell his amps to pay for medical bills... but I guess you never know.
They have it cloned, so sell it for big money to serious collectors. They still have an amp that has the same tone. I'm sure Mick has some cloned Marshalls of this amp as well.
Steve Jones Pistols is actually a Fender Twin and Tube Screamer! It's not a Marshall btw!
I try to replicate this amp sound through my gear for years! When I knew it was for sale I went crazy, unfortunately I couldn't afford it and it had already been sold. My dream amp for sure!
How lucky is this new owner! Not only getting a piece of rock-n-roll history, but gets a masterclass video of Pete Thorn showing how to setup and use this amp!!! \w/
Total geeksville! I love it! I saw Mick Mars play in 1989 in London with Motley Crue, amazing sound :)
Love it! Big and ballsy! So cool you had a chance to share it with us all. 🤘🤘🤘
Just a master class on how to dial a Marshall SL... let alone one that is modded by JA. Sounds incredible. Pete - job is well done. Exceptional video.
That amp sounds insane !!!!!!!
Love it, so sick! I didn't realise how much I love Micks tone on Dr Feelgood
Right up there with Johan’s play through of the SIR #34 Marshall. Instant tone.
And thanks for a really comprehensive tutorial on exactly what it’s doing theoretically as well as what it does tonally - I learned a whole lot!
For me, this is prime time stuff! That amp is like the grail of José amps :D (and Mick Mars' Tone was and is big, warm and fat and organic). Pete, your vids are really a revelation. Thank you once again for sharing. So much wonderful content! And btw, every interview with Richard Fortus is always a treat!
Damn that head has an amazing midrange old school woody bark to it. Love it.
It really does
The more I watch your videos, the more I appreciate your talents and these great videos you put out.
Underrated drum beat too
It’s SO good. Remarkably consistent and great feel and power and unique groove as well.
Fantastic historical documentation Pete.......thank you!
The Marshall sound has never been my cup of tea, but maaaaan do I want this one.
OMG Pete! I love this composition in the intro, inspired by the great Motley Crue! 🤘💪 I've always loved the sound of Mick Mars and of course the sound of Jose's modified Marshalls! Thanks for this other video Pete!
Holy BALLS that thing sounds HUGE!!
When you played holidays in the sun it made the hair stand up on the back of my neck!!
At work waiting.....please have picture of the inside of amp :)
These Jose amps sound so good. Thanks for sharing this stuff!
Needless to say that Pete profiled the S******t out of that amp ! Amazing sound.
Wouldn't you🤣
Love it, PT, playing Steve Jones style on an SS guitar with Micks old amp
It's great listening to these guys talk shop
Just like Richard said..."it's got teeth"! It's raw mid growl. Great for both rhythm and lead and cuts thru in the mix.
Just WOW! That Feelgood tone is incredible!!!!
Awesome capture of the original tone
YES! Can't wait for this one!🤘🔥
Jose "The Brow" Arrendondo. Made him look like a Mafia don with that mugshot haha
Wasn't expecting that Pistol's riff! awesome demo Pete.
Love it! Love it! Pete, you are a gift from God for us tone junkies.
Steve Jones...great that you mentioned him. I love "Freedom Fighter" from Fire&gasoline. And the rest also 🤘🏼.greets from Germany.
Fire & Gasoline is one of my favorite albums👍
What cool piece of vintage tech... I think it puts out more gain than I'd need for about 98% of what I play... But I don't suppose I'll ever get to try it for myself and that's a shame. Still - thanks for another great Amp in the Zone video, Pete.
A minute and 20 seconds into the video and thumbs up already!
That's a great amp, sounds killer! I wish we could see more details on that mode from the inside, maybe a video with Dave Friedman when he explains some details.
I'm with you Pete, when I get a piece I love, I keep it; Mic letting this relic go is a little baffling. Great vid!
The tone in the intro was EPIC!
Amp in the Zone is one of my favorite ! Each time you kick ass Pete ! Thx PT !!!
Such a great review and killer playing!
I had no idea Antonio Banderas could play that good!!!
