i don't get it...

must be cult amps. Jim Marshall didn't even want to build those. They DONT sound like a marshall at all. 6V6 tubes. I tried one 3/4 years ago at $350 and wouldn't bite.

Hamer connection...

"Jethro Tull fans will be happy to hear that on several of the album's cuts, Barre flaunts his signature guitar sound from Tull classics like "Minstrel in the Gallery" and "Aqualung": majestic, chunky rhythm guitars; fat, soaring leads; and lush acoustics. The electric-guitar sounds are massive, but surprisingly, Barre usually achieves them without resorting to a huge rig. In addition, he typically eschews layering multiple guitar tracks. "If you've got five tracks of guitars," he explains, "the continuity is lost, and it sounds like overdub city."

One of Barre's favorite amps is an old 15-watt Marshall Studio which he removed from its combo case and rack mounted. "That one Marshall 15-watt amp," he admits, "did three Tull albums: Crest of a Knave, Under Wraps, and Rock Island. Actually, I had to use a small rig because we recorded in Ian Anderson's studio, and he didn't have a live room. So all the tracks were done in the control room."

...and that's why I'd like to find one! I was really taken by the guitar work on "Crest Of A Knave".

I'm generally not fussy about Marshall tone and power but if I can find an amp like that then all I need are the chops.
