@@southboundsuarez9832 Yes, after I made the comment I started to think of different guys that could be included like Page. Then there’s someone like Leslie West that was getting huge sounds with a PA amp and a LP P90 Junior way back in the day. There are so many greats, but a few that really made a mark. Love them all!

[@southboundsuarez9832]

@@AudioAtmos Leslie West is underappreciated! He certainly marched to his own beat and simply didn't do things the same way because that's how everybody else did it. He also helped lead the way for legitimate guitars out of Japan.

This kind of thing is great! The last time I did it I played a Strat through a Peavey Classic 50 4x10. The electric company had sent limb trimmers here to our place down a holler in WV that day so when they went on lunch break the amp was on the upstairs deck of my studio and I cut loose with the Star Spangled Banner Hendrix style with the amp cranked! Scared them bad and one fell over the wood chipper tire trying to figure out what was going on, lolol. Great video man! I used to have 2 full 100 watt Plexi stacks in the earlier 70s. LOUD!!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Lol! I almost thought you were gonna say one fell into the wood chipper! 😂

[@goodearthrecordings1989]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I waited until they shutdown the equipment for lunch break. It was ridiculous loud ringing through the mountains! Kinda like if Godzilla showed up in our yard! lolol

[@mikestevenson6745]

Great video. Always wanted to try a plexi. I would have laughed so hard if the birds left the woods like a scene from Jurassic Park with that A chord!

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Everything was dead quiet afterwards for about 40 seconds. Nature stopped around me. Haha. 😂

Smoke coming out from under a fully cranked Marshall and a sound demo from 1/2 mile away = sub w/ all notifications! Awesome job 🫡

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks so much!

[@standingvertical3048]

To quote a friend of mine that has one of them, " RIPPING FACE MELTING LOUD " lol } 2 thumbs up Marty.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks bud! It was so damn loud I had to stand behind/next to it and out of the path of distruction. lol

[@kevinhughes9200]

That was just awesome brother! Nothing like an old Marshall Plexi dimed! That was some nice playing too!! 🤘🤘

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks man

[@stricknine8623]

I have paused it before hearing the results...Thinking about all the trees that are obstructing the sound. So it isn't just the incredible distance to consider.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

That’s true, the woods had to shield a lot of it!

[@Snake2112]

Cool Test! Now I know what the neighbors hear because I’m at the party! Lol Great Job Marty and am always impressed by Marshall’s! Half mile away it sounded like ur practicing at low volume and max distortion in ur room!! Sounded good enough to catch every note. Fog Machine was a good twist.

[@stricknine8623]

And its channel #1 for the win.

[@oldmanpatriot1490]

I started playing guitar in 1982.. It was the first true love of my life... I will never forget what one of my mentors told me back then and it became a mantra for true rebels of the 80's.. """ If its too loud,,, You're too old..."""

[@rocketpoolpki]

hahaha ... yeah man \m/ \m/ Marty...I swear...about 5seconds after you let it rip...I felt the Earth's rotation slow down a bit \m/ \m/

That made me lol 😂. The camera really couldn’t pick up the magnitude of this test it was compressing so bad. 😎🤟🏻

[@DennisAlvarezMusic]

I thought I would watch a little KZbin before I take a nap and go out and do my Sunday gig. I was laying here laughing my ass off. What a GLORIOUS sound! BTW I loved the tones on your music for the video. You obviously know guitar tone. :-)

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks Dennis! Glad I could make ya laugh man! I was hoping this would be as interesting as it was funny (enjoyable). I appreciate the compliment man. 😎🙌

[@DennisAlvarezMusic]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker It was very interesting actually. And I liked your playing. These days I only use a 1x 12 on a band gig. In the seventies I had a Hi Watt 50 halfstack. And that was pretty fun to turn inside out.

[@datenimperator]

Where's my much desired double-like button when I need it? This is so great. Props for decent EVH licks, too. Side note: I blew up my tube amp twice, which produced smoke looking much like yours. Unfortunatly, amp's dead after that...

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Thanks man! Sorry about your tube situation. 😫

Great editing between the two perspectives. Spot on. 🤘

[@VintageRadius]

Nice toys man! Would be cool to next time have your buddy continue driving with to see how far he can go and still hear it. Then with phone gps you’ll know how far a Plexi can scream. In the name of science of course! 🤟🎸

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

Great idea. Follow up experiments. 😎

Plexis are rad but I would love to hear two AC30s in stereo at full tilt. I bet they would beat a plexi in volume.

[@reneotten7376]

I always wonder how EVH managed to get a decent tone out of these ice pick machines. I like their clean sound.

[@Ranch5150SkinWalker]

It was the volume and the attenuator. 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@reneotten7376]

@@Ranch5150SkinWalker I have two and tried the volume thing, only destroyed my hearing, didn't give me the tone. So yes, must be the attenuator, speakers, phaser and echo. Imo plexis are overrated. JCM800s are much more practical because of the preamp gain. Your plexi MK II, is it a 70s 2203?

[@reneotten7376]

O never mind I see it is not a 2203. I have a 2203 that says MK II on the back.
