Re: soliciting input re: resistor brands for my first Marshall build

Just go ahead and use nothing but generic metal films everywhere , with some generic polypropylene caps , all the expert engineers rave they can’t tell any difference! Don’t bother critically listening to anything , just believe them! There’s no point to even having a vintage Marshall because all pa...
