Hey Boogie people, i purchase a Roadking years ago and this week i really wanted it to sound like a marshall. But i aint no recording Guru so this track is as basic as it can possibly be. No post EQ or processing. Single track pan in the middle. Les paul→Mesa boogie→SM57→DAW→ Cubase. To achieve this tone, i boosted the **** out of channel 2 with an overdrive pro ts808, gain 9 oclock, tone and level between 1 and 2 oclock. Hope you like it. I do believe it sound like a Marshall, and that is what the folks over at Marshall forum told me. Aint perfect, but i had a blast doing it. Only rhythm so far but will try to do the solo and the rest of the song soon enough.

Thanks and tell me what you think!

No one?, maybe forum builder should consider making a all in one place to be. Now it just look like we have 100 empty places to go. It would be nice to have a crowd of people like the marshall forum, where people actually care for what is being posted. Multiple reply on a dayly basis type of thing.

Anyway i had a lot of fun doing this recording and it would be trully hard to come any closer to that type of tone with a roadking/ster.
 
Okay, I appreciate your post.

Sounds fairly JCM800. Great, you dial your Road King to sound like a Marshall.

I guess members here too loyal to their Boogies that any other amp brand on your subject line sneer upon. I don't know.
 
Interesting choices, Raw or Brit modes would have gotten you a lot closer and wouldn't have required quite so much TS.

I usually use channel 3 set to Raw or Vintage modes with EL34s and spongy tube rectifiers to get Marshall type sounds on my Road King. Played through a 1960 cab loaded with greenbacks, it's probably the least "recto" sounding recto. I've been using a lot of Stiletto profiles on my Kemper for Marshall tones in my 90s cover band, those are my favorite "Marshall" amps by far.
