Happy memories, I had (in the UK) a Park 75w head in 1969, I used it on a home-made 4x12 cabinet with Goodmans audio 25s....so loud it was hard to believe. I lent it to someone in the late 70s and he had it stolen!!!!!!arghh...!
It sounds a lot like an old Hiwatt to me. I can see Townshend in his white jumpsuit doing a windmill sus4 power chord while Daltry spin his mic around over his head.
AC/DC may have seemed retired, they just hadn't made a Back in Black in a while. It must be hard (as far as recording) standing in the shadow of something like that.
man, love you and your tone and your playing. the amp sounds great, I think........the delay is a drag, so on the internet it just sounds like average boopshiptsupnuts
Hey Lance, I have one from 1969 as follow Serial: A1232 Park 75 2x KT88 (GEC) - 3x ECC83 Column Serial: 16183 & 16188 Speakers: Celestion G12M 25w with Covers Original Blue should be from 1969 :-)
Pretty stoked, if I'm not mistaken but it seems from this demo to out shine an original Park75? The original Park75s are thicker and more transparent with just amp,speaker cab,& guitar. But that was another era with the Marshall co. pushing the barriers of legend. Now the new herald is an amazing heir with a huge shoe to fill and just the same if I do come across an old Park75 ''GOOD LUCK'' I'll have to question if by changing the KT88s, upgrading the filters,etc can come anywhere near the potential of this new players model, I intend to play it not own it!! $3,000.00 is a good round figure for what a legend with playability credits from Pros to intermediate would seem fair. After all look at a Dumble'83 OD Special in it's full glory would run you or a rarer Trainwreck 30watter, at this quality they all offer what good tone and reliability is about but @ $25k-$58k, you do the math or better yet play them, almost guarantee you the Park75s old or new will definitely inspire more than just levels of playing but owning them rather than playing them are different worlds and you're quicker to getting the Park75 @$3k than any other legendary amp but the quality of tones started with the Park75 and the improvements are stellar point-to-point badass trannys, components and great representation, period!
