I Dimed My Marshall Plexi MKII Stack Outside On My Deck! - Marshall Plexi Launch For Science!

  • In this video, out of sheer boredom, I decided to see what my 1974 Marshall MKII sounded like on 10, so I brought it outside on my deck. Hoping the neighbors wouldn't call the cops or the fire department, my friend "The Skipper" and I decided to lug this entire stack outside. He drove over 1/2 a mile away and recorded video to see if he could hear the stack from that distance? Why you ask? Well not just out of pure boredom and morbid curiosity, but for science!

First half of video is the Plexi 1 watt , second half of video is the JCM 800 1 watt .czcams.com/video/M276pkb80s4/video.html

    I once got the opportunity to play through a dimed Hiwatt DR103 stack. I had gun range headphones on, with foam inserts (something like 30-40 dB of perceived noise reduction), and it was still shockingly loud. I hit an open E chord standing right in front of the speakers, and there was so much air moving that it felt like you could lean back against the sound and it would hold your body up. Crazy experience.

    Every so often I see some criticizing Hendrix that his playing wasn’t anything special live. The first thing I bring up is his ability to tame a couple Marshall stacks at 10 is one heck of a feat by itself while being musical. Put a fuzz face in front and you have a raging Lion. Probably the thing that made EVH stand out immediately. He was the next guy to really tame one and be inventive and musical.
