"Pick of the Day" - 1959 Gibson Les Paul Std w/1966 Fender Pro Reverb + 1974 Marshall Super Lead

- Today's pick of the day is a bit more expansive than normal - starting with an incredible 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard which some of you may have seen before ( • "Pick of the Day" - 19... ), we're handing it off to our friend Aaron Hiebert to run through two very different amps! For a clean sound out of a small combo, we're using a 1966 Fender Pro Reverb, and for the high gain sound we've pulled out a 1974 Marshall 1959 JMP Super Lead 100w head and 1966 Marshall cabinet - neither of which should disappoint. The Marshall is cranked and we're taming it to levels that won't cause your ears to bleed using the included THD Hot Plate attenuator (a blessing for any tube amp player from small combos to big stacks!).

Music: The Hollers "Good to Me" (Instrumental)
I come back to this video all the time because I have never heard a tone like 7:11 - 7:35 anywhere else, ever. You won't hear that kind of tone on an album again anytime soon.
Beautiful, harsh overdriven rock guitar sound. Pure eargasm man. Reminds me of UFO and other classics. Modern sound is sterile, flat and dead. Too polished. Unnatural. At least for me.
That Malcom Young tone yeah...
Agreed. I'm racking my brain and I don't know man. It's one of those one off, lightening striking real, real close kinda tones! I'd love to have been in the room just to experience the sonic boom of a '59 burst and that beautiful Marshall...wait, better yet I'd rather be playing that rig instead of listening, No disrespect because this dude's playing is on point and fucking killer!! You all know exactly what I mean though right?!
That's actualle a decent LP into vintage Marshall tone)) I get the same with my 70's Gibsons and '76 JMP
Search for marshall SV 20H demo by Dave Simpson.
the playing on that fender amp was incredible. and not what u usually hear when people demo 59's
That LP and that Marshall just wow !!!
You just can't beat an old Marshall for that classic rock tone.
Marshall literally defined that classic rock tone, the 1959 SLP for late 60's through the 70's and the JCM800 for the 80's, all other British amps were chasing that sound other than Vox maybe
That’s not only a phone number to call, it’s also the price of the guitar
KO Bossy not more than 250k for a non-star-owned 1959 original though
Lil' Wayne's guitar teacher idk, man, I checked Reverb 9-10 months ago
I could listen to this cat all day.
good one
This guy is worthy of playing that fine piece of guitar history!
Omg that Jmp roars and sings ! 🤩💥👍
That Marshall is pissed off! Looooove that tone
I have to say, I'm very pleased with the recent inclusion of the Pro Reverb Amp. That amp , to me, is the best blackface era amp for anyone in a rock band. It has the smaller Vibrolux OT which really shines when cranked, beautiful sag and breakup, with plenty of clean headroom to accommodate even the most expansive pedal boards. I'd say the best BF era amp is the the Vibrolux, but in a band situation, sometimes you can max it out. That's where the Pro Reverb shines. Probably the most underrated Fender amp of all time.
I liked the whole video. Just goes to show that all it takes is the 1959 Les Paul Standard plugged directly through the amp (power soaker was used...)
All nice stuff
Leo fender said it was his favorite for the Les Paul. It's my favorite for anything plugged into it😜
@@gabegossack3438 , interesting comment, but Leo had sold the company just as these amps came out, and Gibson wasn't making Les Pauls then , so I wonder when he said that?
It's a 40 watt bassman circuit but with tube rectifier and verb and trem. One of my favorites!!! It was called the baby twin back in the day.
Absolutely loved that middle position with the Pro Reverb
Whoever that guy is playing these guitars at the end... He needs way more attention then it LOOKS like he’s getting anyways. He is a monster. Kills it every time.
His name is Aaron Hebert (sp). You’re correct he absolutely rips.
Jeez the overtones on those pafs are unreal. It really is something else the multidimensional tones from those things
Justin Garcia the volume knob is probably on 7. Grab a r9 and roll the volume off a bit and you could not tell the difference
overtones. multidimensional tones. what other kinds of tones do you hear?
@@howlinhopkins4075 Hard to describe but I think he means it's like a harmonic ghosting of each note, like a shimmer around everything you play. Even that isn't really a great description on my part but I think that's what he's getting at.
That Les Paul played through the Marshall is what its all about for me.
If you want elevator or shopping tones, play it through the Fender.
I watch all kinds of 'gear' videos but to my ears nothing beats these early guitars and amplifiers. Great playing.
all those gear videos coming through your .25 inch computer speakers and now you consider your opinion worthy of sharing.
"hey, for my ears, nothing beats a 'blah blah blah' I watch all kinds of videos"
Buying that Marshall should come with a noise complaint included
Donush Abtahi not included are the complimentary ear plugs for your neighbours 😂
I own a '72 JMP 50 and I got official noise complaints levied at two clubs in town. I was playing it as quietly as possible. ..and I was only using a 2x12. Lol
Those things are either off or blowing your head off. There's no such thing as a "bedroom volume" on an old Marshall with the channels bridged.
I really only ever get to use it in the studio or at really big outdoor shows.
If you could afford that amp, you could afford to bribe your neighbors to overlook it...
good one
That Pro Reverb amp was simply beautiful. Thank you.
If that Fender amp tone should be described as lovey, which is should, then that Marshall amp tone should be described as pleasantly violent. Which it should be as well!
You can’t ask for more with these combinations, awesome.
This gets better every time I listen to it. Way to go Aaron Heibert!
As always, Aaron kills it.
Kudos, bro'.
‘59 Les Paul with that Marshall is one of my favorite sounds in the world; second to Eddie Van Halen playing on one with his 50k mid pot and variac down to 70V (in the studio not live).
Great playing and sounds amazing! There's no year or guitar that growls like a 59 Les Paul.
Telecaster
57, 58, 60. No real difference in the sound. Sample variation will be more than year to year.
i bet in a blindtest one wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
@@flomycel 50s nitro with 70 years of aging is obvious to the touch.
@@thephotoyak not necessarily. I bet you if you grabbed a murphy lab and an actual vintage, you wouldnt be able to tell the difference
That was a very nice demo! Both amplifiers suit the style of music played! Im sure this one will found a new home quite quickly!
It really rocked thru the Marshall!
When I was a kid, I wanted to go to Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Now I’m a man, I want to go to Emerald City Guitars.
That’s a good one lol 👍
thanks for sharing
Great sound.
Fantastic player,
Exquisite playing, exquisite tone, exquisite amp, exquisite guitar
I'd love to see a video on your philosophy on setting up your guitars. The bridge seems to be super close to the strings. You guys rule!
Are talking about the saddles being so low, sitting down in the ABR-1 bridge? Yeah, I'd like to know as well. Looks like the bridge itself is raised up pretty high. Still though, at the end of the day it's just a really old guitar that they were able to make playable with the parts/components that are (presumably) original. A Great Instrument for sure.
I truly love the electric guitar and the smell of hot power tubes.... but with price tags in the hundreds of thousands of dollars... what's the point?
I can tell this guy is an AC/DC fan and loving it 😂👍
The guitar is gorgeous, the amps incredible! Need to hand it off to Doug and Pat for the acid test to “chase Oscar”.
Love the ‘59 into that Pro Reverb.
Jeebus that sounded fantastic ! You don't know how bad I want a '59 LP ! It is my birth year ,sadly unless I win the lottery it will never happen, but thank you for that stellar demo !
Guitargasm at 7.40. Marshall and Les Paul separated at birth find each other again. Best guitar sound ever created right there.
Damn.... love the crankage from those marshall heads, EVH had one eh !! 100w superlead.... destroyed buildings and eardrums for fucken miles. Shit gets my neck hairs up.
Jesus christ.. when that tone gets rolled up for the marshall! what a tone machine!
Thumbs up for doing a good neck pickup demo!
Beautiful
It’s gotta suck to be the guitar players they get to play/demo these holy grail guitars and know you can’t afford to take it home with you.
It's incredible how beautiful is sound of all this old gear. When I hear new recordings, new bands, they all sound the same, modern digital recording is shit, sound is sterile and dead.
I listen to rock classics like Steppenwolf, Skynyrd, Who etc... and ffs the sound is so alive on these recordings. It is not ideal but it is alive.
It's really everything. All the gear they used, the tape machines, how good o' musicians they were, and the fact that because of so much of the music recordings sounding great to begin with, they had to do minimal editing afterwards to make it sound good. It sounds natural because it was. Modern gear is cheap, made in China, and musicians have gotten lazy knowing that if take 1 sucks, they can just pitch correct it or delete and repeat without having to rewind a bunch of tape. There's nothing stopping us though from going back and learning from these musicians and the gear that was so lovingly made
Lots of pieces to the puzzle of those classic recordings, but yeah I totally agree.
I’ve got a stock 71 1987/68 G12M halfstack , and straight into the bottom left input with bright volume on 6 and Hotplate like in the video on -12db, it’s still pretty loud(about band volume)
I should imagine a cranked 100 watter into the top input would be brutal.
I really love that Fender pro reverb sound man, will have to get one some day :D
that's 99% the guitar. you think your HP computer speakers provide sonically accurate tone?
@@howlinhopkins4075 , you are an idiot. By your logic, he could play any guitar and amp combination, and none of it would sound "accurate".
Astonishing demonstration.
you guys should start doing T-shirt giveaways! these videos are waaaaaay too good not have some more attention
Killer player!!
It's really sad that the majority of great vintage guitars like this one end up being trophies of some rich person...even if they play it and truly enjoy it, they aren't making music with it by being inspired by the instrument. Bonamassa is an exception.
He's still hoarding all the amps and driving the market up.
@@Bjb1031 At least he, in his own way, educates people.
@@Bjb1031 He seems like he really knows how to play like other musicians, so that's good, but I'm not a big fan of his music. Also, it's kind of shitty that he is hoarding all the tweeds, driving the prices up
Excellent playing
Nicely done.
This is UA-cam gold! Aaron's playing is en par with the extraordinary gear. You guys are killing it - as usual!
With the Fender Pro Reverb sounded quite nice i must say, even if PAFs are not my choice for humbuckers (i prefer T-Tops, Patent Number, NY Minis, Guild ones, Fender Wide Range and so on), with the Marshall sounded truly hideous, boxy and shrill at the same time.
Man into the Marshall - that's where it's at
Amazing playing!
07:36 Thats what a Les Paul - Plexi combo do to yaaaa
I'm curious to know the settings on the Pro Reverb; I've got a '68, and it takes a lot to make it break up. Beautiful playing, by the way.
David Koral I have a 66 . I think he has new Jensen speakers in it. I think it is sounding quacky because his volume knob is rolled way back.
its seems like have no binding on the freets nips?
Oh it took me a second, but I was like this guy's ears are toast. You can't get that drive out of a Super Lead without it being on 10, AND it's 100w...ouch! Then I saw the attenuator. Also a Les Paul through a Marshall is THE rock guitar sound, but I've heard them sound pretty damn good through some Fender's too. I'd like to hear a '59 through a Top Boost cranked.
Lay away available on this?
Sure, it's called a mortgage lol
Loved the demo with the Pro Reverb, however I think the Marshall would have been way rounder and not as ice pickey with bridged channels and not just the bright input
Yeah, it's a great guitar and all, but I'd rather have a mid-60s Strat. A far more tonally versatile instrument.
Great video!
Personally I think a telecaster is even more versatile, but yeah vintage Fenders are amazing.
A 60's strat through a Pro-Reverb would sound sublime. But with the Marshall I'll take a Gibson any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.
I have enough amps, I just want that guitar! :-)
I had that exact same amp ('65 Pro Reverb), same Jensens and everything....and STUPIDLY sold it because I thought I wanted a Twin. Worst amp decision I've ever made. It now belongs to Lindy Fralin.
So now your Pro is "celebrity owned"! But yeah, nice to see one featured, as the Twins and Super Reverbs seem to get all the attention.
@@captainamerica9353 More like 'idiot sold'! Actually, now I remember more clearly I traded with him for a Victoria Tweed Super because I thought I had to have one of those for smaller/medium gigs and maybe a Twin for larger ones. Dumb. the Pro Reverb was wonderful for medium gigs, and any larger place would be mic'd.
Some of the tastiest playing ever!
tasteless just messing around
Looks new.
Does his first song have a name or is he just jamming? That piece is fantastic!
Would love to hear this as a wet/dry rig.
When your demo guy has spent his whole life playing a strat and you give him a 59 burst and he's like, "Sure, pal. Ok. Its your dime.."
Aaron sometime uses my Les Paul for recording and off and on for some shows but you are right, he’s a strat guy.
You should’ve cranked the Pro-Reverb, my ‘66 starts to break up around 6 and sounds amazing with my Les Paul
Scott Cramer what speakers and what settings? I have a 66 also and i gotta keep the bass on 2 or 3 if I crank it with a les Paul. With a strat I can keep the bass on 6 or 7
Is that a genuine 59? It looks almost new.
That dudes fingers look like those giant spider crab legs.. super long!
Awesome
wow!!
In case you are wondering.... the guitar is up for $347,500......
I'll take 2
I guess the joke about the phone number being the price is not too far off 🤪🍔
I appreciate a '59 for what it is, but for that amount of money I could buy ~50-70 new custom shop Les Pauls...
@@stephenmcdonald1648 hell, with the new Standards who even needs a custom shop?
Ow, and there's a Nighthawk custom at the wall ;-)
Malcolm young would 👍
Would love to have heard a clean tone on the Marshall Plexi rather than the Fender.
Great video. AMAZING. But funny I always thought the Holy Grail- literally speaking was what Jesus drank out of the last supper. the fact that it literally was a les paul makes more sense anyhow 😜
2:35 .. awryt there left hand .. our time's up.
left hand: no .. won't . can't . mustn't .
right hand: cmon already mate . we talked about this.
Nice demo! I like clean and crunch tone the most even in LP. Almost famous rock guitarists who play LP like high gain tone.
Jeezus Kryyysth
40 thousand made with only 400 thousand surviving..
Haha
Gibson Les Paul+Marshall no need to have pedals.It's nuclear combination lol.
7:30
Can I have his job?
IDK why I always like how Marshalls sound in videos but as soon as I play them in person they're too thin. Unless it's a Friedman.
Roll off the presence, roll off your tone control, shift the eq, use the normal channel instead of the bright channel, change the volumes of both channels still because they actually do something even when not plugged in to both channels
Are those pajama pants??? …Or maybe Chef’s pants???
Those vids “are molding Amos as good as tubes” NEED TO LUSTEN the that ‘59 through that Marshall! Rick Beato is right, it’s all about the SPL.
Face melt.
It kinda sounded lifeless to me. I don't know why.
What are you listening to this through? These are great sounding combos!
Could be your soul
🤟👍😯
Bloody adverts are ruining everything
Trade you my fender usa strat 2004.... with some £ my way 😁
use a guitar strap..you have a near half million dollar guitar there.
I'll be honest.....i don't want to 'heAR' it. I just want to look at it.
Invest in a great amp, do not buy overpriced pieces of wood.
Agreed an amazing amp and speakers is 80% of the tone.
My Tokai sounds better and for same price I can buy about 100 of them
just only terrible tasteless speedy noise, you could do it the same on a cheap guitar it would be the same terriably sound however but with less money
Totally average
für dieses rumgedudel was der da macht braucht man keine les paul für hunderdtausende euros da reicht auch eine billige gitarre.
please find someone else to demo vintage guitars. this guy needs a jackson.
