For guitarist, Marshall Amps is an iconic British brand that helped define the sound of rock. The amps have been used by everyone from Jimi Hendrix, to Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde and Slash and unlike most other amp brands, the amplifiers are still built its factory in Bletchley Milton Keynes, England.
Softube, on the other hand are dubbed ‘the Swedish rock ‘n’ roll scientists’ Softube, whose modelled guitar amps and plugins have been used by Adele and Black Sabbath, amongst others.
