    I'm pretty sure I remember Thayill using Marshal DSL's back in the mid 90's when I saw them. Not sure if they were 800's or 900's.

    I'd imagine that AIC also had a few Marshall JCM 800 or 900 DSL's around as well.

    The difference is essentially the decade. 800 80's. 900 90's 2000......

    Jerry Cantrall used a Bogner Fishman pre-amp. That is what made his sound. They are no longer made though.

    Bogner Fish Preamp - Jerry's preamp in the early 90's, used on Facelift and was part of the live rig with Alice.

    Bogner Shiva - Jerry's amp of choice on his solo tour. Used live and in the studio for new material. This thing is a tone machine and for $2,500 you can own one like 'ole Jerry.

    ah excellent. it's actually the Bogner Fish preamp. Bogner sold the rights to the production of said preamp but the new builder couldn't get it quite right.

    Bogner's Shiva is essentially a hot rodded modern marshall. It's what Marshalls should be. They aren't cheap but they are awesome.

    The Shiva is modern channel switching perfection.


    This is MIG's studio rig.... http://guitargeek.com/rigview/259/ get em Dave.
