    Thank you so much for the overwhelming comments! Signal chain below.
    Gibson Les Paul, straight into the Marshall, into the OX Box cab sim (4x12 Greenbacks with 57s, raw, no effects), reverb is added post recording.
    I'll play some Van Halen on this thing very soon, I will also do a full comparison with all my other Plexis.
    Our album should come out towards the end of March, I should be able to announce the final release date early in the next year.

    I had the 1959HW back around '07. They came out around '04, I believe. Finally, someone who can do that amp justice on UA-cam!
    It only took 20 years!

    You just can't replace the musicality of the OG Marshall. It's an amp that will teach you how to play guitar. The rich overtones, note-clarity, and fast-transient-sonic-pressure is pure Man-Tone. And it takes very little to make it chug.

      Yes, I’m sure this is very different than the original Plexi.
      But look, it’s got the plastic on the front, must be the same. 😂

      @ i’ve owned a few point to point 4-input Marshalls from the early ‘70s. They have some special mojo, but I imagine the newer one is not that far off. If the schematic is the same, and it is not a circuit board, and a similar output transformer, etc, i bet it gets it done just fine.

    • @jameseberhard7457
      @jameseberhard7457 Місяць тому

      Well the circuit is correct for a late 60s superlead and its a seriously well built amp, marshall have however let the quality slip on the transformers they use recently which will affect the sound and reliability of the amp. I doubt those transformers will last the 50 years of the old amps but if you had some mercury magnetics put in there you'd have a pretty unbeatable amp.

    Thats awesome! Nothing really roars like a 1959slp.
    I have 1968 spec that was built by metropolous in 2010. Unfathomably loud, but thats part of the fun with these amps. Definitely can't wait to see some van halen videos with it.

  • @SteveOuimette
    @SteveOuimette Місяць тому +1

    I've never directly compared a HW to an original 1959 but I've heard them on their own (like here) and I think Marshall did a great job of capturing the sound of them. Nothing quite like a Les Paul and a Superlead. Classic combination on so many of our favorite records!

  • @jayalexander7657
    @jayalexander7657 Місяць тому +1

    Jacob proves why Marshall Amps have the greatest sound and tone earth people will ever hear. Jacob is also proof positive that true tone mastery comes from the actual fingers and his incredible feel and unmatched articulation. There are so many bad demos of these amps you can watch that will make you think these amps may not actually be the King and Queen of all amps on planet earth. That's only because many of these player demos are executed by less than qualified guitar players who aren't able to accsess there true capabilities. We all know that Ed proved, without a doubt , that they are and always have been, the true and original KINGS of all amps for sound, tone, clarity, and masters of, fine articulation. Jacob also has the ability to make any guitar or amp and head configuration he chooses to play sound just as pristine as this current master class demo of one of Marshalls most iconic inventions in music history. Jacob should be every single amp and guitar companys official demo professional, for every musical product ever created. That's not an exaggeration, Its just a 100% fact people. No one, and i mean, no one ,does it better than this brother hear !!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sounds fantastic. I used the 50w version for a number of years, can't remember what year it was exactly, somewhere between '69 and '71. What an amp that was. There's a couple of clips of me playing live with it on my channel (the Prime Suspect videos), if anyone is interested in having a listen, from way back in 1990! Wish I still had it, but it would never leave the house these days.

    My buddy has a Ground Zero modded 1959HW, and it absolutely slays! It has a lot in common with Steve Vai's Jose Plexi, as seen in the Pete Thorn video.

  • @HEZ63
    @HEZ63 Місяць тому

    For me still the "holy grail" of amp tones, or a hot-rodded one.
    The "secret weapon" of Marshalls for me is the dynamical reaction to attack combined with these unique harmonics, which you hardly get out of comparable other amps.
    Simply rocks, especially with a Les Paul.
    The only thing, you need off-stage, is a really good load box, then you can even fully crank it up at home. Plus, you have an additional "heater" for your room in winter with seven hot working tubes. ;-)
    An alternative for me is the - in my opinion - really good and similar sounding 0.4W Killer Ant. Had modded it a little and then rebuilt again, as the basic sound (slightly modded Plexi preamp with fixed internal TMB control (all at 10), authentic cathode follower and a 12AX7 triode SE power amp really comes close, as long as you do not fully turn it up. Volume 6-8 sounds great with a 212 or 412 cab IR behind, at 9-10 it can become a little too diffuse and indirect. For input boosting (or lowering, to get Low Input sounds) and sound shaping I use a 10-band eq in front.
    Another one is of course the JMP-1 preamp with a good all tube power amp behind. My favorites have become KT77 tubes, EL34's sound nice, no doubt, but also EL84's, but different and also nice for more JTMish sounds 6V6 tubes.
    Had the SV-20, not bad, but also did not completely offer this unique "magic" in the tone for me, so I sold it again. On the other hand, the Marshall HW amps are not so extremely expensive, if compared with the prices of competitors, who usually promise, to have everything "improved", but if I hear the result, they rather have made worse a lot of things in my opinion. But ok, tastes are different.
    Engl and Diezel do a nice job for hotter, but Plexi-voiced sounds, I also like Magnatone and Metropoulos amps (apart from the prices), but never really became warm with Friedmans or Suhr Plexis. On the other hand, in comparison a real Marshall is much cheaper in Europe too and it looks and sounds like a Marshall, so what more do I then need?
    A completely different alternative: A Kaluna or Kaluna II, even better stacked and you do not even need an amp behind and can adjust everything between Tweed/JTM45 cleans up to Engl/Diezel/JVM high-gain, Plexi tones of course too, because of the extremely versatile +/+20dB eq-section. A good cab IR behind and you are there, plus, even stacked these pedals almost work noiseless. But also a nice improvement in front of any Marshall for both better clean or hotter sounds, as (active) Volume also works below unity gain, so it allows taming an amp sound too without any sound quality loss.)
    Another improvement of course is an SD-1 in front. (If you find one, I recommend a Hidalgo modded one. A little less gain, but a more natural sound (like a KC - SD-1 hybrid, but still with the typical SD-1 character) plus 3 switchable voicings (Warm (no bass-cut, Bright (original bass-cut) and Rock (in between, a little more gain and moderate bass-cut).
    Some other essential thing are speakers and cabinets, but I better do not start talking about this to avoid, that this become an endless strory. Only one more "exotic" solution: My 112 Sidewinder 150W cabinet (Celestion's for me even better sounding 1990's version of an EVM-12L.) Looks really strange, if you place a 1959 head on top of a 50 x 50 x 30 cm cabinet, at least, unless you hear the first tones...
    My momentary favorites, apart from 412 G12M's, G12H's are 212 or 412 Celestion 100's, Lynchbacks, Hempbacks and WGS Black & Blue. All rock nicely, but sound very different. But this is also one advantage of the two input channels, 4 inputs concept of a Plexi, you can adjust the sound perfectly well for (almost) every cabinet/speaker! (Well, maybe Jensens are not the very best choice...)
    Great playing and sound and of course, great amp!
    Thank you for sharing!

    Hello bro, first of all, you've really made the most of your guitar and amp. My only critique is that it would have been better if you had done a bit more testing on the amp's clean tones. Also, did you use any other pedals apart from the reverb pedal during the test?
