We visited the historic Marshall Museum in England for an unforgettable experience pulling personal amps off the proverbial wall and turning them up to stadium volumes as they were intended. From Zakk Wylde's personal Black Label Society creation to Yngwie Malmsteen's monstrous Plexi, choice flavors of Marshall models over the years, and even the FIRST Marshall amp ever made, this is an episode for any guitarist to enjoy–we sure did. Oh, and our ears are still ringing from that final white Marshall JMP we played... you may say we're "going off the rails" on this crazy ride, and we couldn't be happier.
