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!

Damn, it felt good to fell the floor vibrating under my feet!!

    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.

    When Jimi Hendrix Experience came to Milwaukee the first time, they played four sets over two nights the Scene, (a downtown hotel ballroom), 624 N. 2nd St. Feb. 28 - 29, 1968. I drove buy, but did npt hear him. The second, & last show in Milwaukee they played the Milwaukee Auditorium, (now the Miller High Life Theater), 500 West Kilbourn Ave. May 1, 1970, 8:00pm. I was driving down Wisconsin Ave. (which is about 3 blocks away), & I could tell it was Foxie Lady.
