![]() Marshall amps became known not just for their ability to blow away all other sound, but also for their visual impact. I wanted it to be as big as the atomic bomb had been." "Everybody wanted it to be bigger, louder. And the generation we were going to blow away was the generation immediately preceding us, the ones who had the gall to tell us that we were wimps because we had long hair, wimps because we didn't have wars to fight in, wimps because we couldn't prove ourselves in military service, because we didn't have it," Townsend said. "I realized at that moment that what was actually happening was that I was demanding a more powerful machine gun, and Jim Marshall was going to build it for me and then we were going to go out and blow people away all around the world. ![]() I don't want to hear them, OK?' And I said, 'So I need something bigger and louder.' And his eyes lit up."įor Townsend, Marshall amplifiers were a signal of more than just volume. " 'The trouble is that I can hear the audience,' " Townsend said he told Marshall. ![]() In a 1993 interview on Fresh Air, Townsend said that he went into Marshall's shop because he was unsatisfied with the two American-made amps he had been using. Rock." Pete Townsend, known for destroying his instruments, made them a trademark part of his assault. Lemmy Kilmister, the bassist and singer for the heavy metal band Motorhead, plays in front of a giant wall of them and name-drops the amps in the song "Dr. Hendrix grinded his guitar into one before setting it on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Marshall amps became a key part of the rock 'n' roll sound. Marshall began making the amplifiers from a small shop in West London in the early part of the decade. In the 1960s, when guitar players like Pete Townsend and Jimi Hendrix sought to make a louder and more distorted noise than the jazz and country players whose place in pop culture they would soon usurp, they turned to the amplifiers bearing Marshall's name. I'lltry to fly off of that on my next 4 min circles.The Two-Way Jim Marshall, Amp Pioneer Known As 'The Father Of Loud,' Has Died I'd never looked at the standby and did not know about the needles. Still, not a bad idea to know how to reference/utilize the turn needle as that will work for any airspeed you happen to be holding at.Īlways learning. I’m sure GB or any DCS hornet pilot who has played around more in the stack than I have to this point can likely just spout off a good AoB that gets you in the ballpark at 250 knots. Once you get established and stable with the correct turn needle displacement then can see what angle of bank that results in for your given airspeed and rely more on the hud. So, if you want to complete a turn at one end of your holding pattern (180 degrees) in 2 minutes, you’d adjust your AoB to keep that needle displaced halfway between the center and left reference marks. A two needle width deflection (white needle lined up with the left reference mark) represents a 180 degree per minute rate of turn. Assuming a left turn in the marshall stack: A one needle-width deflection (needle halfway in between the center and the left reference mark) represents a 90 degree per minute rate of turn. As you turn, the white needle will deflect left or right depending on your direction of turn. ![]() The white needle will be aligned with the center reference mark when you are not turning. You’ll notice at the very bottom of the gauge (below the slip ball indication) is a white needle with three white reference marks. It’s just “gouge” one can use to create a plan for how you are going to make your push time.Īs for timing your turns, one way to do it is to reference your standby attitude indicator (immediately below the right DDI). Don’t think of the “2 minute turn - 1 minute leg” as a rule. ![]()
