Your videos are just so much better than any other demos on youtube - so understated, humble and rocking awesome
+Kevin C Thanks Kevin, you make my day! Cheers Johan
I bought this head brand new in 1998 and its still going strong. The best amp I have ever owned or played. And I like amps lol.
Same here
Wow I think you just covered all of my favorite Marshall-tones!! Great amp, beautiful tone(s), great playing!
Tack för den fantastiska videon Johan! Cheers from Finland! 🇫🇮 🤘🏻
+VersatileMusician123 Thanks my Nordic Friend! Cheers \m/
You got that to sound great, I had it in the 90's but never managed to squeeze out such nice sounds as you did in the video. Or maybe I did, its a long way back. Thanks for a very nice "flashback" video!
I've a 6100LM head... channel 1 gives out various spectrum of clean tones, channel 2 contains a catalog of early Marshall JTM to JCM800 tones, channel 3 has the JCM 900 SLX tone and beyond....
Despite already owning a Mesa Boogie mark IIB combo... it's still has always been my desired amp to own since I saw it in the shop when it first appeared inthe early 90s but I only managed to purchase it on Valentine's Day 2020. Mine is a black 6100LM head running 5881 power tubes with a 1960B 4 X 12 cabinet.
Playing it with the decibel meter showing 90+db is my simple idea of a good time.
Thanks for the video,Johan... I enjoyed it greatly....
Now I think I'll go fire up mine up as I just recently completed insulating the cabinet cavity of the 4 X 12 with sponge linings and furry fillings. Thanks again for that video Johan.
Hi Johan - great playing! To my ears this is the best Marshall that you have tested so far
+Gary Slash Thanks Gary, Surprisingly good indeed!
See why I love Marshalls? Especially this one! Extremely versatile and sounds killer!
Love your vids, Johan! And awesome playing as always!
+Déus Herbert-Noel Thanks Déus, great to hear that!
Johan Segeborn You're welcome. One question though. What are the names of the riffs? Or do you make them up?
Had a JVM410H and sold it - felt like riding a dead horse. Now i bought a 6100 5881 Version. One of the best Amps i ever played! Love the orange channel, but even the clean channel is very good.
By far the Best Demo of the 6100 LM on YT, Johann! I have one myself and i had a pretty hard time to dial in some good tones. But once you arrive, that thing screams! Rock n' Roll!!
It’s not an LM.
Johan, this sounds incredible!! Great work, as always
+Matt Prentice Thanks Matt! :-)
You appear inspired by this amp! That's not to say you haven't been inspired by others, you clearly have :-D super tones and some great riffs there man! It's really refreshing to hear someone play the way you do. It makes me want to play my guitar instead of it just sitting in it's case, thanks!
+DrFilterfox Thanks man, I'm really glad to hear that! :-)
Johan. THE GUITAR GODS LOVE YOU MAN..WOW YOU ALWAYS GET THAT AWESOME SOUND EVERYONE WANTS!!GOOD JOB AGAIN AS ALWAYS!!!!.. CHEERS
+Robbie Russell Thanks Robbie :-) Cheers my friend
I've been chasing tone for over 30 years now and I drool every time I hear you play the Marshalls. Love their character and attitude. just blows me away the sound you get out these amps. always impressed.... Well its back to the Tom Scholz Rockman for me :-)
+chuck jones Thanks Chuck :-)
A very nice job making excellent use of the channels with various tones! I bought one of these new in the 90's from Strings & Things in Memphis and still use it regularly today. My 77 LP Custom sounds killer, but the 62 Strat sounds the best. It's taken a lot of years tweaking the 6100 (like it does anyone with an excellent tube amp) but as you've stated, I've learned over the years just how versatile this Marshall amp is. The clean tone is incredible. I get a pretty good clean tone with a '72 Custom Tele that I built with Barden Pickups when rarely playing country. Overall, I leave mine pretty much wide open, to the point of breakup and clipping, with few pedals (Analog Man TS9 and others to spice it up) rolling back on gain/tone with TS9 most of the time, but using knobs on the guitar itself for control. Although, as you know, one can plug direct and cook this baby until the walls melt. In my humble experience, when people ask about the tone of my rig, I usually point out that Marshall Amps aren't going to jump-out-of-the-factory and make them sound like Joe Bonamassa or whoever. I think it was said in the comments here that lots of people spend tons of money and give up too quickly on amps when they aren't satisfied with that ultimate quest for the "right" sound/tone, and I agree with that thinking. They are like people who jump from woman to woman expecting the next will be better. It takes time, tweaking, hard work, and patience, but finding an amp that's versatile enough to work with and go the distance. I don't care what genre anyone plays or if they use a 6100 in the studio or on the road. IMHO, this is the best Marshall 100 watt head for the money. BTW...I've tried various tubes, but Tung-Sol works best for me. Thanks for making this video.
Yes, of course, you CAN play, and also achieve a great tone, but the best thing about you is the way that you reply in the comments section. So humble, kind and respectful. You sir, are a great man. Greetings from the other side of the World, Argentina! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
+Iñaky Maisterrena Thanks my friend, that's really kind of you. Cheers!
Great demo and playing John, I have one of these amps and I love it..... thanks for the demo
One word springs to mind ... Meaty. Nicely played there too, seemed like a natural fit for your style.
Some of the sounds were really heavy, awesome man!
Wow, that is a great amp, great playing too Johan!!!
Sounds great Johan as always .
That Marshall sounds great to my ears! Good demo and dig this dude's accent too! You know in my decades of experience going to Rock concerts in Arenas, stadiums, amphitheaters etc., the guitar amps I've seen the most by far on stage are Marshalls! No surprise there, ay! They just sound like rock & frickin roll pal!!
+David Caro Thanks man, yeah it's hard to go wrong with a Marshall stack or better yet wall! :-)
not only great playing but great choice of speakers to enhance that amp.Those pulsonic cone 25`s are something else!!
I agree with you Johan. I found this amp in a reharsal room and I immediately fell in love with it. A lot of tones very similar to other glorious Marshall amps (with a little work on it I obtain a tone thats it's very close to the saturated sound of my glorious Marshall 2204 for istance). You can have a clean tone (I'm not a huge fan of totally clean tones but it could be useful sometimes!) that works very well with pedal fx that need a clean channel. An absolutely overlooked and unknown amp. By the way, in Italy you could find many second-hand models with a relatively cheap price if compared with other type of Marshall used amps.
Best Marshall ever in my opinion, I use mine a lot. Everything Marshall from clean to super lead is there! I'm
about to buy yet another one, there's one guy selling a full stack so... Great job Johan!
Yeah these are monsters! Cheers
My God, Johan !!!! My 30th never sounded this good ! They say alot of tone is in the players fingers. There has always been alot in yours. Many thanks for the excellent review, as always.
99% of the reasons it didn’t sound as good has to do with the quality of the tubes they were shipped with and how they were biased. Add to that, Johan is in a practice space where he can crank it higher than most guys - and he uses a power soak, so he can crank it even higher to get that power tube saturation. As well as quality mic’d, so you hear the quality tones at stereo volume
Very sweet amp. Keep up the nice work Johan.
Ohh I knew it could do that! : ) That amp (and series) are amazing amplifiers! Fantastic video Johan! : )
+JJ Collins Thanks JJ! :-)
I love that amp, mainly for its yellow channel that covers it all from light smoke to heavy distortion. btw, it's always great fun to watch you doing interesting things, Johan.
+Jörg Siersdorfer Thanks Jörg! Great to hear that!
Another wonderful play through a classic piece of sonic history. The story of ROCK n LOUD...is ALL there man. Thanks to you and Marshall as always Johan :)
It sounds absolutely amazing 🤩
reminds me of the original jcm 2000 I have. great playing as always Johan you know how to rock🍻
+metaltheater123 Thanks :-)
wow man that all sounded great. killer tones!!
+lando27music Thanks man, glad to hear it!
Wow! Hadn't heard that model before. It covers a TON of tonal territory. And at the hands of the "Marshall-Meister" Johan it sounds incredible as always. I'll have to start scouring Craigslist in my area to see if one turns up. I agree with the "Johan Frehley" comment. Rock on bro!
+jcoulter43 Thanks my friend, that's so good to hear! :-)
I own two of these. My favorite Marshall ever. The best sounds.
I have a blue one with el34's and the best sounding marshall I ever played through. I think I need another one too before they become expensive. It has the best brown sound I have ever experienced. Not as midrangey as Johan's video, because I believe Johan turns the midrange all the way up and adjusts the treble and bass accordingly.
@@duleyone True I had the regular version and then many years later tried the blue one at guitar center, dont remember my amp sounding like that, the crunch channels were usuable , before i was just using the clean with pedals. I thought it was the guitar I was using and still think its a factor, back then i was using a jackson soloist and when i tried the blue head I was using a les paul. I just couldnt believe how good it sounded and made me miss the head i got rid of. But after reading the blue version only sounds like this... I dont feel so bad anymore thanks!
Finally. A Great demo of this. I have 697/800 and sold it like a MORON in 1999. I had one of the blue ones like that in 2006. I'm going to get another one. Your energy and playing is great. Thanks for doing what you do man. Cheers from Austin Tx. :))
Sounds great! Awesome video and amp!
Fantastic. I had the 1x12 for a time and found back then the way for me to get it working was pull tubes and put a nicely worn in 12t75. That knocked some dbs off and got the mojo happening. The heavy duty eV style Celestion was an impressive performance speaker but not for tone and feel. The spirits of feedback were with you today again may they squeal for you always mate
+PoJoWo Thanks :-) yeah that kind of controlled feedback isn't always easy to find. Cheers!
There was a mint one of these on sale near me recently.
If only I had room for more half stacks, lol!
Great vid, thanks Johan!
Absolutely that was an amazing amp, could cover all the bases. I remember playing that in an isolation room at a music store at max volume
+Richard Lee Rodgers Cheers Richard
Excellent review, I'm going to record a live album and this is the Marshall option we have at the studio. After this video, I'm excited with the amp. =)
Thanks!
+Raul García Posse Thanks Raul! Yeah that amp covers a lot of ground. Cheers Johan
I have such a Monster too. Model 6100. I love it. Your demo is sooooooo cool.
+Reinhard Prazeller Thanks man, so good good to hear that!
Great amp and great playing.
Nice one. I have the combo and matching cab. Both have the massive Gold Speaker. I found it easy to get 6 channels out of this simply by running a Zvex SHO into the FX loop. Then you can control the FX volume to give each of the 3 channels a simply and handy boost of volume for soloing etc. Drawback for me is the weight of the combo:) Cracking video again buddy
+theflyingmat Thanks bro!
Great demo, Johan. Someone else already mentioned, but sounded vey similar to a JCM2000 I used to own. But I never made it sing like you did on this 30th Anniversary!
Thanks for another great video. I much prefer this amp over the new JVM. As you demonstrated, there's so much great tone in this box. The clean channel may be the best on any Marshall ever, though the TSL 100 and Satriani JVM are right there with it. The 6100 does a fine job covering Marshall tones from 1962 to 1992 and then some. Many thanks Johan.
This one has the fatness of a Satch, and not the reliability problems of the TSL. So much more bottom end than the TSL.
Great amp and great playing
I knew it Johan as I have owned and gigged mine since 1997! Great amp and have had plenty of offers to buy it,but NO of course.Great video mate!
Another great video Johan dude!
Could you please do a "gear tour" video? I would love to see some of the epic goodies you no doubt have!
Thanks Johan, I'm getting one. Cheers from Imperial Beach, CA!
+Benjamin Treadwell Glad to hear it! Cheers
another great demo John!!!
Sounds excellent, wow! Must be also the speakers/cab.
Great video Johan. Such an under-rated Marshall. One of my personal favorites. Such a sweet Crunch Channel. Reminds me of an 800 with a slightly warmer low end. Keep up the great work man!! DP
+Tone5DP777 Thanks man, glad to hear that!
You are an expensive acquaintance :-) I bought a 4010 combo last week, it sounds fantastic. And I just picked up a 6100 top one hour ago.
Yum, that was delicious, I'll be back for more Friday! Best Marshall-deli in town!
+Rick McCargar Thanks my friend, you are so welcome! :-)
The 6100 has been my " Go to " amp for many years , these are probably in my mind one of the most underrated Marshall amps made . Pure kick ass Marshall tone with a heap of options as long as your arm !! I've owned many Marshall heads over the years , but i've sold them all but my 6100LM !
I run my 6100LM with a pair of Gold Lion KT66 (Pulled the outer pair) Give them a try , you won't go back to a 6L6GC i'm betting , flat out killer tone . Over the years I've tried almost every tube brand & type , and these sound so good .
The blue 6100 head has EL34 tubes.
This amps sound great! ! !
Your killing me! I own a JCM 900 MKIII and a JCM 2000 TSL 100 and there is a 6100lm for sale in Seattle for $475 and I am trying to fight the urge!!!! It sounds great on this vid!
I just got a '65 oxford speaker and with it even my crappy 10 watt transistor amp sound great. So big part of the sound is the nice cab you have. cheers
+MOUNTAINWITCHTV Thanks, it certainly doesn't hurt. Cheers
Thanks Johan as always! Your videos are wonderful and I thank you for your time and efforts. Your videos helped me personally for my own sound and gear purchases many times. I have a question though, by listening to this video and in compare to your other vintage Marshal amps, it seems this particular amp is way more compressed? I'm not saying its a bad thing, I'm just wondering if I'm hear correctly. It sounds like there is an Overdrive pedal or booster is pushing the infront of the amp.
Also, I'm having a plan to buy my first Fender amp (already owned and recorded with Boogies, Naylor, Marshal, Victory and others). I think I'm confident in buying a boutique all hand-wired Blackface Vibrolux or Deluxe (Achillies - Australian hand-wired boutique amp company). I was wondering based on your experience, which speaker or speakers do you recommend to both keeping the gorgeous Fender clean amp (with highest possible headroom), while having a good pedal platform. It comes with a pair of 2x Jensen C10Qs, or 1x Jensen C12Q. Should I stick to Jensen or go for Celestion models?
Cheers!
I had always heard they were pretty awesome but any amp with that many knobs and buttons immediately lowers my expectations. Id be wrong on this occasion. Sounds awesome
one of the favorite amps of the great late Michael Casswell,rip.
Great demo. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Oh No, we didn't get a LETS GO! Now we need 2 for Fridays video
+MB215 Sorry, I'll do better ;-)
Johan Segeborn I know you will, I was just a little surprised cause its almost like your signature catch phrase, every time I watch a video I say it at the same time you do 🤘
very nice in deed
Sounds fantastic!
+NPGANDERSSON Thanks :-)
This amp has been on my "To get list" for about 17 years
...of course, whenever one pops up, there's usually something else that forces me to let it pass
amazing ROCK tone!!!
+The Fabulous Master Bats Cheers!
These are some of the greatest amps Marshall ever made...modern channel/mode switching, MIDI, a huge clean channel, and full-bodied gain channels. Marshall went off the high-gain cliff with the badly engineered and thin/trebly TSL line, made some great innovations with the JVM (losing some Marshall punch) redeemed by the Satriani version. Nothing else new compares, not the DSL or Origin. I perform regularly with the JVMHJS and was really curious about this one, and got a deal on one, and, wow. It's got all the goods. Mine is a 97, and I want to have a tech go over it to make sure the caps and such are golden, but this thing is going out to the stage sooner or later. Some people say that it's "delicate", I don't know about that, but it doesn't have the horrible stacked boards of the TSL. Really balanced tones. A sleeper. Mine has 6L6 output tubes, some come with 5881s, but mine sure has the sweetest Marshall tones you'll ever hear.
Great Demo! I always did like this model. If you get your hands on the Mode 4 I would like to hear your demo of that.
+tim price Thanks Tim, yeah hopefully soon :-)
One of the most versatile Marshall amps. It was my first Marshall and it's still one of my main amps. Mine doesn't sound that good though, but that's because of your talent Johan Frehley!
+Ace Thanks :-) I love Ace Frehley as you probably know
I know indeed. And by the way, everybody loves Ace don't they? ;-)
+Ace Everybody that is sane does ;-)
hear so much of it in your playing and it suits Les Paul's and Marshall the best.
Sounds great 👍🏻
A nice versatile amp Johan! Could you maybe do a video about how you basicly set up amps you use... Share your tone secrets you tone wizard :)
+frisianspetsnaz Thanks, that's nice of you! I'd be glad too. My main philosophy is usually to max mids and use as much treble as possible Bedford it gets harsh and as much bass as possible before it loses the attack. Cheers!
Hey! Awesome video. I have been awaiting the day you would make a video about this amp. This amp is my main practice amp due to its versatility. Sure it sounds less "raw" than my 2203 or laney AOR (you should review this little beast too someday!) but it can do everything!
I have a suggestion, could you A/B the channels with their original counterpart? Like channel orange B mode is supposed to sound like a jmp etc etc.
With your setup and expertise it would be a great video!
Rock on!
+Tarass Boulba Thanks man, I'll keep it in mind! Cheers Johan
Damn, nice amp! And versatile is the word! A word not often used to describe Marshalls Lol.
I hope the prices for that Amp don't go up now. Because of your great video.
Cheers ;)
Hi Johan, do you recommend this over a reissue 1987XL plexi with an overdrive distortion pedal? I like the dynamics and woodyness of the plexi and I play with overdrive and distortion. Thanks, Ken.
I start wondering if your reviews are of any use... Because everything you play sounds amazing... Sad I never heard you trough a TSL100. Wonder how that would sound like. But most likely amazing ;)
dang, that sounds good
omg how do u find this gear ive never seen and absolutley luv. man i wud give my truck for that amp. no pedal either man got me pumped up this morning listening to your grooves man thx
Great Video! Im a big fan from johan! ;-)
Smart thinking on the speaker wattage extreme limits !
Its loud 8db cut but I had attenuators effected the tone to much .
will i get the same sound with normal greenbacks? i don't know what you mean by pulsonic but i love this sound.
Sounds amazing! Remember testing a full stack at Estrad in Stockholm in the 90's
Are you using an attenuator for this?
thanks for posting Johan, great tone, I'm really surprised how good this amp sounds. I have recently acquired one 6100LM head and going to retube it. I have a few questions:
1. what tubes are you using in preamp
2. did you bias it to 75%
3. how would you compare core sound of 2203/2204 with respective settings on 6100 channel 2
Johan I have the 6100 with the 6l6, can I change them for el34? And if yes does it have any great difference?
would you reccomend this amp over a jcm 900 or 2000 for thrash metal/punk, hard rock? any opinions?
Wow this head sounds killer! Johan can you compare the 6100 2nd channel with a 2203?
... thanks for upload Johan. I'm just wondering, can 6100 give me a proper JCM800 sound ...
Most tones remind me of something between a Silver Jube and a SLX. Not hearing plexi there so much.
Local amp tech hates working on this amp model. So many boards etc to dig thru.
Ever considered getting in ear monitors to do these clips?
Unless I missed it, can you do a demo of a Laney IRT Studio comparing the load box and post power section cab emulation with it using a miked up cab. I have one coming and would be good to see what others get from them.
This is a great sounding Marshall. I believe it's got some issue with a chip or something in the MIDI wich if it goes wrong makes the amp not work at all. Great demo👍
+mats andersson Thanks Mats!
i really love the 2 channel and 3 for down tuning
+elie thivillon Yeah, it supported down tuning really well
so good!!!!
do yo use stereo reverb?
What tubes are in this Marshall 30th Anniversaire , 5881? Also what brand of tubes are in it?
I used to own one....sure wish I still had it. I felt like I could play “any” song on it.
😢
Can you tell me what a Hotplate -8dB is? Has it something to do with the volume? I saw that the master-volume was at 10....and so were the channel-volumes.
cool amp Johan. What is your preference between this one, the DSL and the TSL?
That amp is now on my list to get. I have a question, what speaker combinations sound really good together in a cabinet. Im buying new speakers and i cant choose if i want to get just one kind of speaker or get different ones to see if they sound we'll together.
+Anus Repair Man I think G12M+G12H, G12H+D120F, G12H+Audiom are cool combinations
Id also love to see you do a video on The Marshall Valvestate models.
+chuck jones I actually have a video on the 8080 but hope to do more soon
Owned one for decades
The way you were holding your phone/mic at the beginning, I thought you were vaping.
