I always wondered what happened to Marty Mcfly....
That's the best comment here xD
Great scott!
I realize Im quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?
Hey McFly!!
@@brodiejake2149123movies, vumoo
Randy Rhoads....One of the best tones and players then AND now.
Randy will always be my favorite guitarist. We were robbed of a true musical genius. RIP Randy.
Randy will always be remembered as a phenomenal and legendary guitarist!! 😎👍🎸🤘
I have some of the last photos taken of Randy with this amp on stage with Ozzy just 2 weeks before the plane crash. I was on the front row. What an awesome experience that was seeing him live.
I suppose an added mxr + would give it that push
or Bogner La Grange...on high gain. Cool stomp box. It also has a boost and a mini-compressor in addition to the overdrive. Low, medium and high. It's way more than just a Billy Gibbons box...it's Angus Young, EVH, Randy Rhoads or anybody that known for playing hard rock on a plexi British style amp.
I think the cascading preamp here performs that function. This amp is obviously modified to give you that Randy sound even though I believe he used MXR distortion pedals through the front end of a stock Marshall. So probably it would over compress with added gain on the front end. Everyone likes different sounds. I love Randy's sound. It is perfect for Ozzy but pedals are transistors and even if they aren't they will always sound fizzy compared to real power tube compression like say old VH which comes from the output transformer power tubes. No transistors in the chain. I think Eddie even put his Phase 90 on the back end of his rig while recording. Basically using 1 Marshall as an output transformer tube compression box and then running it through a solid state poweramp and then the phase 90. Dunno for sure but my buddy told me that who talked to one of the engineers. Rock on
@@bruceniblett959 incorrect..this is Randy's sound while with Ozzy. Missing the altec speakers, of course.The signature sounds happen when the MXR EQ is applied, and the distortion+ was mostly used for Leads. The mistake most make is too much overdrive. The aggressiveness in his sound came from his hands, heart & spirit.
@@ZakEdwardsOfficial well you sound like you know. I just remember in the 1980s I had a Carvin X60 and I ran a Rat pro co distortion thru the front and it sounded exactly like rhoads sound. I was personally more into the VH warmer sound. Both great in their own way
Saw Ozzy with Randy a few months before his death :-( He was a MASTER
You must be old
@@johnbartlett9568 you’re an idiot.
just amazing tone, ive seen this video so many times just for the sound and great playing
I am not kidding: this is the best tone I have heard in my entire lifetime! GOD I WANT THIS SOOOOOOO BADLY!
That Gibson is AMAZING... I hope, some day, I will be able to play such a beautiful guitar ( piece of art)
+Beyond Limits Productions in your next life.....$7000.
You can have the exact same guitar (except for the headstock) with an Epiphone for under 700 bucks. Don't be fooled.
Get a chibson, put some Seymore Duncan's and bam!! Better than a Gibson. For under 250
Dave Saenz You’re fucking delusional. Customs are expensive as fuck but no chibson of piece of shit will never beat a Gibson.
@@peepongdingdong9208 Mine did. And it sounds better. For under $280 bucks.
That's some damn fine playing!!!!!!!
Jesse Williams You too.
@@-nameless-5778 James is right. Playing is mediocre and the tone is shit.
@@DoktorDamage ya, the overall sound could've been way better. Too fizzy overall, definition was lacking. Whoever miked the cab sucked big time. That being said, Paul is a better player than what was heard here. Looked like a rush job to me
@@rickleblanc8900 Playing was still robotic
@@DoktorDamage Some people just play that way. 🤷♂️
You always make great Reviews!
must be the best vid ive seen of this guy play. Hes awesome
My buddy owns this amp, and it sounds superb. Guitar World shit the bed when it came to the audio on this one.
LARGE, lol
If he's ever looking to sell, I'm in the market for it.
It sounds fine Jim, Just like the one I have.
I heard the guy who miked the cab and the guy who mixed the audio were last seen walking through the Mexican desert
Late reply but man, that is frickin hilarious ! Yep, I'm sure it sounds way better than this in person.
you're have alot of knowledge and actually answer questions i would have about these amps. a good guitar player too. i have only been playing less then a year so you're a big help. thank you.
I love your demo's Paul! You rock!
that will be great amp for my celion dion tribute band we will kill at local bar.
Would love to hear some High Gain on On My Heart Will Go On !
Sooo glad Im not the only one in a Celine tribute band! Near far wheeeeereeeveeerrr you are!!!
this is one of those things that you wish to find someone selling it and not knowing what the hell it is and is selling it for $200. only in my dreams
Good comment, and so true. Many, many years ago, a buddy ended up with a 4-channel 50 watt Marshall Master P.A. tube head. Paid $10 (!!!) for it, changed a few tubes, fixed it up a bit and cleaned up the controls and the insides. That amp ruled, what a major deal ! Funniest part is, the seller said: " I wanna get rid of it, it's crap and it says Marshall on it." That dude had absolutely NO idea what he had
When I was in high-school, a friend of mine wanted a Peavy XXX (brand new at the time, and before the internet was what it is today) because it was all about high gain and obscene amounts of distortion back then, lol. He kept saying that the amp he got from his dad was just old and not that heavy sounding, and he was trying to sell it for around $300-400. Come to find out it was an original Marshall JCM800... lol. Needless to say his dad put a stop to that amp being sold. We, as young teens in a small town, had absolutely NO idea how great that amp was in the early 2000s.
Late comment but my buddy snatched a JCM slash amp + cabinet + the snakeskin cover for 500€, fully functional and everything, the seller just didn’t know what they were sitting on.
Good playing Paul!! Very impressive Amp!!!
great finish and good tone, that les paul is awesome
The 1959 aka JMP, was based on a 1959 fender bassman. Since shipping from the US to the UK was entirely too exspensive, Jim Marshall decided to start his own ampifier production line for ease of product placement.
They really should make more of this precious... I want one!
Damn Paul you do not lack for skills and talent my friend. That amp sounds killer. I heard this demo back when it came out, but I really appreciate both the amp and your fine playing now and then.
That rig sounds amazing!!!
Damn fine playing my friend. Very nice indeed.
You could be playing Randy's personal rig and lp custom and you wouldn't get close to his tone or sound. It was in his hands, that's why the players are legendary and not the amps or guitars they use.
eh..another tone is in the fingers person. ive heard many players sound like others; example is satchel / russ from steel panther. he does an amazing EVH. tone is your ear and how you perceive it
@@me-bk9er another guy who pulled off a great EVH tone was Phil X demoing the Friedman BE100 head. Plugs a Strat clone into it and starts ripping EVH riffs and sounded just like Eddie. So ya, sometimes the gear DOES get you there but the hands/approach/attack is also a worthy part of the formula
Always like your demos
Hey Tim, same amplifier layout!, they only changed very few components and brought the B+ plate voltage up, the JMP came in two form's 50 and 100-this being said the JMP 50 was nearly identical to the JTM, and as for power tubes- the JTM 45 WAS designed with and uses EL34 power valves.
Marshall did a good job here of recreating Rhoads' horrible swarm of mosquitoes tone.
+Jesus Banks the best tone ever created
It was nowhere near the best. The only things that made it enjoyable were his pedals. Low depth chorus, tape echo on 1 repeat (almost an instant slap), and his MXR+ EQ. Even so, it sounds like he scooped the mids...
Im a huge randy fan. Id even say that his tone was not all that great. A lot of studio tricks
Randy's studio tone was horrible especially when you compare it to EVH' s sound. I can't even listen to the studio albums. His live sound on the Tribute album was wonderful.
Hessel van der Wal agreed. Bought that album this year and listened to it for 2 months.
Nice try, but nobody should ever attempt to try and emulate a once-in-a-lifetime gift from God like Randy Rhodes. Talk about him, present his signature amp, but don't say your are trying to recreate his sound or that you will attempt to show his set-up, or anything else like that. I thought Eddie Van Halen was the end all, be all back in the late '70s until I say Rhodes with Ozzie a couple of times live, then I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It sounded like he was playing the violin, like it was some amazing concert violinist plugged into a amplifier. There never was, nor never will be anyone who will ever come close to replicating the angelic sound that Randy Rhodes produced.
wow...................
hi........................
Rhoads*
Agreed!
WE LOVE RANDY BUT STOP .HE WAS A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER,LET HIS MEMORY REST.damn it,idiots still have this stupid desire to pretend these wonderful mortals are more than they actually are.
yes,i agree randy was great,he is dead now.i agree hendrix was unique,he is dead now.guitar has carried on without them but they influenced everyone.
let their memory live on without the constant arguing and bullshit.
Great demo Paul
what i would do for that amp
This is not Randy Rhoads tone!!! :(
My JCM 800 sounds mutch better then this.
I agree. not even very close. I can get closer than that with my Viper 15W
:)
I agree and he also used an MXR Distortion+ to help get some of that super gain sound.
Varzy Br it is but in randy hands
D Bo Only the polka dot V had a Super Distortion. His Les Paul had the stock T-top pickups
Wow, Paul tears it up on this demonstration! The amp sounds great.
You sound great Paul..Great demo..
ive played slashes solos, bucketheads, and randy's THIS GUY IS GOOD!
My friend has one of these amps. That's nuts that there was only 150 of them made.. I never heard anything so loud in my entire life!!! You have to CRANK it to get the gain, but it sounds so sweet when you do. Can't wait to record it this summer! =)
600 made 150 available in the United States
The playing sounded good! All he needed was the MXR pedals, distortion +, MXR stereo chorus, MXR 10-band EQ, and the specific Korg SE 500 tape delay (echo) that Randy used.
This has to be the greatest guitar and amp combination ever concieved at all ever of all time......ever....
Great playing bud !!! Minus the fizziness of those g12s the tone is sweet !!!
Just got me this amp, what attenuator is best for this amp?
That is a beautiful setup.
Im so happy to se Badger have a work :)
@MeetyHam
you need both, the whole head's purpose is to increase the signal to create an audible level of vibration in the speaker itself when it goes through the speakers. but the resistance in circuit of the speakers would probably stop the weak electric signal of a guitar or bass from even flowing through the speaker coils. if you try pluging a guitar into a cabinet,nothing really comes out.
also, there are "combos" with the head and the speakers attached in 1 over-sized speaker cabinet.
@VinCeXMS a cabinet is just essentially a box with speakers, the most common cab is a 4x12 thats 4 speakers. u can link a cab to a combo amp but usually one would have a head on top and two cabs which creates the standard amp stack and yes it does make things a lot louder. hope this has helped
randy one of my fav guitarist but still to me nothings better than a 60s fender twin
One sweet sounding Marshall, hell, I liked the sounds coming out of both channels. It didn't hurt that Paul was tearing the strings off the LP...
My God Man, great playing. Especially that Nuno descent down the neck. Awesome tone 👌.
**But does it go to 11??
Paul you Rawkt It!! Amp sounds Great!!
fuck that sounds so good. I don't care if it's not spot on or accurate about randy's tone, I really like the sound of it independently from what it's meant to model.
whether you like distortion pedals or not, Randy had his amp hot rodded(cascade mod) and he jumped the inputs, and he also used an MXR distortion plus with a volume pedal for a boost. Probably on his lead tracks. These old plexi style amps take distortion, overdrive, and tube screamer pedals pretty well. The amp maintains its tone and the pedal just gives a little extra bite. Newer Marshalls like the JCM 2000 don't take pedals well unless its through an effects loop.
You forgot the Altec Lancing Speakers, super loud
Sounds fantastic!
Listen to some of Randy's isolated guitar tracks here on UA-cam..Even though they are layered on top of one another it's still bright with not much bass
what were Mr. Rhoad's settings?(the brochure packet had them in it)
What would be a modern version of Rhandy Roads Altec speaker?
the ones that Mesa put in their early boogie reissures or the Santana crocodile amp, as he used those speakers back in the day. Or still does.
this might seem like a stupid question but do amp heads have a speaker or do you need the cabinet?
Paul is incredible!!!
that guitar and amp is like the best setup in the world.
What wicked playing
Hey i was thinking of getting this amp but it would only be for my upstairs bonus room. Would that be good for it. I know that its so loud but I would use it with the volume box so i can crank the tubes but have it at low volume. Good or Bad?
RR used the MXR distorsion pedal...
To get that sound I use my JCM 800 1959 (channels bridged), Hot Plate attenuator and a Boss SD-1, it sounds almost the same like After Hour video, believe!
whats the difference for high and low inputs?
Man I WANT one of these so effin bad.
Didn't randy use a tiny bit of delay or modulation thats what gave it that big sound?
Of course its really tough to get that Randy Rhoads sound directly into the amp since he pretty much always used an MXR Distortion Plus
well it may sound like that but in an interview, randy stated that he had very, very little bass set on the marshall. and i bleieve the marshall engineer who took a look at the original 1959rr stated that the bass was set to around 1 or 2 on the dial.
Hello nice video, do you think you can tell me what randy settings was?
Does anyone know if you could have a footswitchable channel installed in one of these? I'm considering trying to get one, but not sure I'm willing to be stuck on the high gain up on stage...
If I just get a JMP and mod it to get it "Beefed up" will I get the same sound as the 1959RR?
whiy does it have two inputs for each volume?
i may look really stupid, but can you just a cabinet and play on that or do you need a head to go with it? And also, can you just buy the head and play on that or d you need a cabinet to go with it?
CAN'T DECIDE!
gibson lp custom ebony or alpine white?
everyones talking about all the popular guitarists like slash and evh and randy but what about this guy Paul showing us this stuff hes pretty fuckin good if you ask me
this is awesome... does this amp will be shipped and sells in Malaysia?
is there a clean setting on this amp by any chance?
Great tone! I like it!
Does that LEs Paul look thicker than the regular LEs Pauls.. Which model is this?
just got this amp. but i can't get any gain from channel 2 :( even with both volumes on 4 :s someone help
FUCKING hell man, that sounds amazing! You can't beat the good ol' sound of tubes!
That sounds like Randy's tone to me, awesome!
Ummm, NO
@@DoktorDamage Ummm, Yes.
The JTM 45+ came with tremolo- but just like the JMP- they both boast individual channel's with a shared passive EQ in series with the driver from the phase inverter. All of the early Marshall amplifier's were designed alike with many different capacitance and resistance value change's over the years.
@96lolstar he used a MXR 10 band eq to boost the mids for solos. Not sure about the dist+
Is the Custom included? Whats the use if you do not have the Custom and you seek that Randy sound.
@rmroza
well.. if all 3 gain stages are cascaded and the 2nd gain stage has a .68uF bypass cap then in theory the amp should have a lot of gain on tap. it should have more than a JCM 800 because of the bypass cap on V1B and V1A and B are both biased hotter than an 800. I have a Haze 40 that I turned into an 800 with a .47uF on the V1B cathode (10K) and I can get into metal territory in terms of gain. That V1B cathode bypass cap adds like 15db of boost on the high mids and trebles.
@dougjwhalen Actually, Paul is using a Gibson Les Paul Custom with Gibson 480 pickups.
150 in the US? Does that mean there's some available in Canada?
What are the tone setings?
wow sounds pretty amazing man! is this with amp distortion or a pedal distortion? if pedal, what pedal? :)
@bisensee420 the guitar is obviously a gibson les paul custom but the pickups are (from what i think) are a 490R and 498T.same as mine. but when hes soloing he doesnt have the mxr m104 distortion plus soo.. and randy had the stock pickups of his 74 custom (i would reaaaaaaally like to know what pickups those were specifically, if u or any1 else you kno knows please tell me)
@magus5200 using the pick to tap?
2018 !! Getting my brand new RR head !! It`ll be a nice friend of my Friedman BE-100
You lucky bastard !
The back drop is the same in this as Zack wylde in his drunken demonstration of his polka dot v and randy 1959 Marshall. Anyone have an idea why this is so?
Really Damn I've never herd of them before wow thanks for the knowlage
Rock on Bro
Paul is a versatile player.... Smokin
The mod on input 2 that he speaks of makes the amp quite a bit different than many Marshalls out there, similar or not. The Diezels aren't bad. I like them too. I don't consider them quite as versatile, but bad ass if you want a mean metal tone.
@thebakuman77 two volume and tone knobs(total of four knobs?)
Gotta give that guy props that was a fucking tight randy rhoads style improv
I have two of these heads. They're AMAZING. You really do have to crank that volume knob to get Randy's good tone, though. I don't mind, though. Haha
I have one too, do you get that distorted tone like this or run a dist pedal??
What type amp does slash use?
3xcellently mastered
