So what do you guys and gals think? Is this the best path for Marshall to take?
Absolutely , there's something just magical about a single channel Marshall absolutely roaring, 1959 or JCM800 and add in the Boss SD1....nothing better ...and in a band mix, it beats everything going...Expensive but how many do you buy in a lifetime
Definitely
Ever tried the 410H? 4 channels, cover pretty much every Marshall tones. 👍
Going old school is the best option . Bring on what made them the powerhouse of amps in the first place.
yes 100%
I’ve written Marshall kooky emails for years. Since 2015 to be exact.
Things I’ve requested:
Amp heads with built in attenuation/load and cabsim.
Pedalboard based preamps and power amps.
Stuff that came out, after the fact: Revv G20, Engl Fireball 25, AMT bricks series, Friedman IR-X.
You are correct Marshall has been lazy. Easier to make t shirts, hats, and fridges.
Those other guys can only Copy and Customize, but MARSHALL did it first and now its less than half price of
all those models
Only took so long spending time around Uncle Larry and crew in Nashville and he’s already back to real tube amps… Only a few weeks til the ox is gathering dust and you’re mic’ing up the cabs again… and I’m 100% here for it.
Friedman answered the bell and they have won me over. My Dirty Shirley is the most Marshall thing I've ever played. Having said that, there would be no Friedman without Marshall so, i still have love for the influence.
I'm thinking of going the Friedman route as well. I have a Marshall JVM205 and love it, but I want something lighter like a 20 watt head and a 1x12 for portability. Thinking of getting the Little Sister
@@AntmanFelixI picked up a Little Sister about two months ago. I’ve owned quite a few amps over the years and there’s something about the Little Sister that I just absolutely love. In the 20ish watt space I’m not sure you can do better for covering a broad range of vintage Marshall tones, but with a bit of its own thing going on.
@@VintageRadius that's what I been hearing a lot. It can cover Marshall like tones but still be it's own amp too. I think that is something I'm looking for.
And to be fair... there would also be no Marshall without Fender... and there would he no Fender without the RCA manual.
Its all just huilding upon what the last guy did and trying ti move it forward just a little bit.
The key to keeping Marshall relevant is to deliver their classic sounds in traditional platforms and most importantly at several different pricepoints so that the kids can by em. There’s no digital amp sim in the world that can replicate the power of a high wattage tube amp.
I agree but its tough to find a venue whether you’re a novice band or pros, that will let you open up a 100watt head onstage. Ive had to turn my dsl 20 head down before in a bar. The loud days are kinda over i think.
They have dont it ant then some, with the Studio Line, the new DSL Line, they brought back the Silver Jubilee 100 and Studio version, aforable JCM 800, and Studio version, also the Plexi HD is $1,100 cheaper than it was a few months ago I think they are kicking ass
I'm an older man. In my time Marshall was the king with no real competition. Now everything is anything but tubes. Tubes are and will always be the best. I'm a condo dweller, so how can I get my tube driven Marshall on. They have the answer. I love a good Gibson L.P. running straight in a tube driven head. They came out with a 1watt dsl Marshall tube head and combo. And you can hit a button and it brings it to a quarter watt. Unbelievable. I can jam in my condo with a red hot tube Marshall. Cranked in the sweet spot without bothering my niebors. It sounds unreal. Marshall has there shit together. And for that matter so does Gibson. I use a Tribute made in the USA Les Paul for 1299.00. Yes that's still a little bit of coin, but it not crazy. It's the real deal. And the 1 watt Marshall sound thru that lp. All I need or ever want. Thank you, Gibson and Marshall. The definition of rock and roll !
I have a dsl1 and yes it sounds cranked but its not a good cranked. Its very muffled and grainy. It does not have that "marshall" sound. A real marshall at low volumes still sounds 90% like a cranked marshall
@AudaciousAce1989
Wondering, what cab are you using?
@@robertwillett4122 Its a bone stock combo amp
@AudaciousAce1989
Oh, I have the head running it thru a pretty nice, 2×12 slanted Marshall cab. Might be the difference. I'm not saying
it's a Mesa Boogie. It's cool and does sound good playing classic rock. Yeah, there's better for a lot more cash. Nothing as cool. PEACE
Thats interesting! I have the combo and I dont want to spend $400 minimum after spending $500 on the amp itself.
Damn, that sounds fun!
I’m guessing it’s been done, but 1959HW vs SV-20H would be a fun video to see from you.
I have bought demo models from Sweetwater before and never had any problems with the items..most if not all look brand new and function properly.
The Marshall head and your playing sound great.
Same. I alsobought a B stock 8 string Schecter from Zzounds and saved around 150 bucks, and it had a tiny scratch between the knobs that would probably easily buff out with some compound. It just isn't worth the time for me, it's barely noticeable unless you know where it is and are right on top of it.
I use my SD-1 as a volume boost for lead tones. Have had it since the late 80's. I love it.
Magical for lead boosting
Congrats on this and have fun with it! However, the immediate future is smaller versions that can be used in clubs, smaller venues and even small halls where everything is mic'd and nobody wants a loud stage. That's modern reality, even with 20W "lunch box" amps. Plus, the size and weight, which you so quickly pointed out! If UA or someone would make a small version of that load box that could more easily "gigged", that would help as well. Heck, I can barely get my 20W Friedman WW 20 over 3-4 on the Master when playing live as it is! LOVE the big Marshall sound though, oh for those 70's when we used 100W stacks! :+)
I’ve owned a ton of tube amps and digital systems in the 43 years I’ve been playing, and with the exception of the Kemper, which was a game changer digitally, tube amps is where it’s at.
I actually love the 1987x (model not year) 50 watt plexi. That was Jimmy Page’s “The Song Remains the Same” tone - breaks up sooner, has a sweeter tone.
I’m really impressed with the UK made 20 watt versions.
The last amp I bought is a Marshall JVM 210H. I love the tone, the flexibility, the power. I really appreciate that they got the volume control tamed. My old JCM 900 goes from whisper quiet to full on destruction in just the tiniest movement of the volume knob. The JVM is controllable and sensible. What I absolutely HATE about the JVM is the stupid swishy and sometimes sputtering noise that make us almost useless for gigging. Running two noise gates, one before the input and one in the effects loop kinda helps but sometimes it still gets through though it’s subtle. Such a shame.
This is my dream setup. With the load box you get all of the pros of a digital setup, i.e. the ability to record direct and the ability to crank the amp without blowing the windows out. My dream rig would include a setup like this and a Marshall 1987x, but for now, I’ll stick to my line 6 POD 😅
Awesome video Robert. Thanks. It is very interesting about these Marshall 1959HW, I’ve read a few negative comments about the production of these , now that marshall was sold and that the PT and OT are made in Vietnam, (MAV) and no longer made by Dagnall in Malta. Yet every comment on videos for this amp have nothing but positive reviews and that the amp sounds great!!!!
I built amps (for myself), and have a plexi based amp using NOS parts , hand wired with custom PT , OT and choke. And I still placed an order on one of these as the price now is ridiculously low considering that they were closed to 4k.
Worst case scenario could be that my own built amp sounds more to my liking or style with a 30d return policy is no brainer.
Thanks for the video
I gigged with a JMP for years on the Sunset Strip with an SD-1, Rat, MXR or Tube Screamer. But mostly the SD-1. Great amp, but it ate tubes like potato chips. I eventually switched to a Boogie combo for gigs which did the job fine, but I did begin to miss the Marshall tone and feel.
I love the way the rg550 looks after the neon glow fades out
Original RG550 in the house!
-w00t-w00t-!
I love mine. ❤️
Very nice tone Man ! When you play at high volume do you have "ghost notes" with the neck pickup ?
Thanks !
I'm considering going WAY off the regular path.
During my current build, I discovered the NuX Mighty Plug Pro, and being blown away by its versatility, have decided to install one inside my build.
I'll have to send a balanced stereo out or just keep an eye on the volume, or I could just install the out of my Crybaby into the in of the Nux.
Hmm.
I wonder if I can get/make/use a two way split cable and have an effects loop on the guitar instead of a regular out.
I’m old and kind of old-school. My favorite setup would be a mid to late 1970s JMP 50 watt head with EL-34 tubes, a 1960 TV cabinet with 25 watt Greenbacks and a Gibson Les Paul.
They still have them for sale, as a mater of fact all the new Marshalls have EL34s
Marshall 1959 is my favorite amp from Marshall. I generally like Marshall sound the most from other brands. That said, i just cant ever see myself giging with something like this. ( I used to gig with Marshall Half stack) but those days are long gone. I could see myself owning one of these in my studio where i can play it though Ox Box like you Robert. But that is also a big investment to commit. So for now i am happy with my digital modeling.
Yes those days are over. Try rolling up to a modern stage with a 100 watt half stack.
@@user-ri3gh6yb5k Or a full stack... FOH engineer just stares. 😳🤣
@@cool555breeze As does the singer. A Marshall top into a 4x12 cabinet is a glorious thing but is it necessary?
Nice 1 Bob, sounds great, but 100W these days is overkill in most situations these days! Esp for recording. The SV20 or SJT20 is ideal!
No small animals or pets were harmed in the making of this video demo of the #Marshall Super Lead #Plexi SLP #1959 100W Handwired Head.
I think the matching #Marshall 1960 4x12 Cabs are also discounted. These Marshall Amp products are backordered, so that might explain the price drop.
@RobertBakerGuitar love this video! And I’d love to see/hear you try the Victory Kotzen RK50C. It’s a simple, incredible tone machine, and one of the few amps I own where I think pedals take away rather than add.
Well a wise man once told me, “Digital reverb is a lie… amp modeling is betrayal.” To each his own.. I applaud your desire to use real amps. Modeling is convenient and has come a long way.. and I’ll use it sometimes because it’s simple.. but for recording? I need those glowing glass bottles of tone glowing bright when I hit that record button!!
None of that on the DSL100HR or DSL40CR
They’ve been doing plexi reissues since 1993. They’re not what will save Marshall. Making amps that you can get for a little under $1500 that have great tones and features is what will save Marshall amps. In the last 20 years they’ve only made two amps that I think excelled for their price point. The Origin series and the DsL40c combo (the 2nd to last gen). Really wish they had offered the 40 as a head. Through a 4x12 it’s a killer, hotter 800.
The JVM’s are too stiff and sizzly for decent old school sounds and got to ridiculous prices. Most of their sub $1500 amps pale horribly to what the competition offers. Marshall used to be the working man’s amp, grip it and rip it. Affordable and great tone. The great tone kind of ended once the JCM900’s came around but the reissues we now know, also started then. Even with the recent price drop (which may not last), they’re still out of reach for most working musicians new. Marshall doesn’t really care because amp sales account for about 5% of their revenue.
I grew up where 50-100 watt Marshall’s were standard and having them at volume in a room was common. Plus they were usually bulletproof. So that is perma-stamped on my brain for what Marshall is. What young players need or want today, with the death of bands in the same room and volume requirements, makes what Marshall needs to do a mystery for me. Maybe it’s a an official Sim pack but it would need to be exceptional.
Even though I use a Power Station now I would dig an updated solution from Marshall. Used their Power brake for over 25 years and it was great. Still have it.
hey man, no caveats necessary for the ox box! it still kicks ass and the onboard effects or I guess post effects are amazing! imho
That hw head sounds awesome though, bro
I would love something like that, but my amps never leave my room, and that's too much power. That being said, when the housing market comes back around, i may have to build a soundproof room . The origin 50 made me like the sd1 one, and the ts 808, which is my favorite, actually made me appreciate the sd1 even more. Two fantastic pedals. Marshalls are wonderful amps all around. Just got a peavey classic 30 because I'm not spending two grand on a Princeton. You can get Fender and marshall out of that peavey.
I have a super triple lead combo, it is a wonderful amp my absolute favorite. The only downside is, it is tinnitus in a box. Too easy to keep winding it up in all its glorious juicy crunch. That and it has to be fixed a lot.
Oh, I got an origin 50 W head and a 100 W MG with my paddleboard they both sound great
The Jubilee Studio head is a frickin beauty! Also, I very much enjoy Rob's jaw movement when he plays a heavy riff.
Sounds great. Thinking I need that attenuator
I've bought too many crappy Marshall amps to be pleased with them
It’s great. But certainly comes with a price. Both financially and recording. Having a power soak, cabinet and proper mic arrangement still plays a dramatic role in the final product. Then comes preamps, phasing, keeping the tube amp in proper condition, etc etc. and finally, having all this does not automatically equate to a great sound on record.
There is certainly a feel to the tube amp. The load it places on the guitar pickups. latency (perceived or actual). Those nuances count for a player.
However, at the end of the day, modeling has gotten so good that in final mix it is very difficult to discern a model from the real thing. And modeling is only getting better and better over time.
I think amp makers in general face a serious financial future. Years ago if you wanted “that sound” of Marshall, Mesa, etc you had no option to really get it; unless you paid. Today, you can get so, so close to whatever amp sound you want for pennies on the dollar. And, have 30 of them all dialed in and sitting there, one patch select away. And immediately ready to record.
Tubes + IR is the best way to go! I do that with the Friedman IRX and I never look back :D
YES! Another video about those pedals!
Especially EQ pedals. Utterly the most underrated pedal out there. You can get an MXR 10 band EQ with a volume and a gain slider and dual outputs for under $100 used.
More videos about other parts of your rig too.
Wampler EQuator is fantastic as a mid boost....brilliant for that 80's metal boost
So, the price drop brings the 1959HW to $2,499. But I recently bought a 1986 JCM 800 for $2,350, in great shape, with grill cloth faded to brown - beautiful, and a matching 4x12. A new amp isn't the only option.
There is some controversy about what kind of transformers Marshall has been using of late. I saw one video where an amp tech found a crap tranny in a new Marshall. Maybe Marshall is going cheap in more ways than one.
They switched from Dagnall to Made in Vietnam Trannies wound in their factory there. Everyone is going cheap these days unfortunately
Definitely rather have the old Marshall
Yes the plate reverb awesome 👍
Using a Y cable or coming out a stereo pedal is so much better than jumpering on a plexi. Little bit more gain too. Try it
I recently bit the bullet and bought my dream amp the JVM 215C. I love it! I sold my Kemper Stage and Friedman ASC 10 to purchase it. I don't regret moving on from modelers at all!
The 215C is perfect.
Nobody regrets moving on from modelers, lol.
I picked up a Marshall DSL100HR head and I love this amp. I had the JCM 800 years ago and stupid me got rid of it. But I would love to have the amp you have.
Some things can’t beat the sound of a Marshall and a Les Paul!
✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶
Jimi: “How about a Marshall and a Strat?”
Robin Trower: "how about a Marshall and a Strat?"
I mean, these days, a good amp sim can probably beat it, haha
@@tomaslopez2940 both for me all day 🎸👍🏼
My teacher back in 93 said the same thing, and it's still true today.
i wanted one but went the boutique route rockitt retro rr50. hell yeah. great video great playing as always
That’s a great amp
100 watt 1959 RI Marshall’s are the muscle car of amps. Cool but not a daily driver for most guitarists. Shout out to all the AC/DC tribute Malcolms🫡🤘
To me they are the land yachts of amps. Soldanos or Mesa Boogies are the muscle cars of amps.
@@sole__doubt The '66 Charger had an optional 440 Magnum: land yacht and muscle car.
@@user-ri3gh6yb5k Excellent retort. You got me on that one. I love Marshall by the way I want to be clear about that.
@@sole__doubt Yeah,Marshall was always my favorite flavor
I absolutely love my origin 20 head and 2x12 vertical cab loaded with Greenbacks.. My LP straight in and dimed.. IS the guitar sound I've always wanted to hear while playing guitar. I know the Origin line gets hate from the purists, but WOW.. that amp is SO fun. Plus it's beautiful. The Greenback upgrade is a MUST.
Marshall needs their own Tone Master-style amps while avoiding the mistake of the Tone Master Pro (an overpriced worse version of a Helix or Fractal [sorry, not sorry]) that kind of missed the point completely. I mean I actually think most people for a grand or so would be more than happy to have a solid state JCM, Super Lead, JTM, or Jubilee head or combo with the tone master features (Attenuator - XLR out).
💯 Agree! So many people are looking for those classic Marshall tones in a practical package like the tonemaster. The lowest watt Marshalls are the 20/5 watt version which is still too loud and not very practical for most players.
You only think the TMP is worse because UA-camrs told you to think that 😂
@@gdawgs101 Brother, I played one. Besides every UA-camr I saw said that thing was awesome (you know the same B.S "not a" sales pitch they all do)... It was not and It isn't a Fender thing, I love the the Tonemaster series and have defended them quite a bit (I think they sound fine with pedals). End of the day the TMP missed the point because the whole point was to make a amp that looked basically identical to iconic one you wanted except you could play it all the time (and move it) without killing someone. It was always about form factor.
@@rocktorrocks Right on, It would be pretty sweet to be able to crank a bluebreaker or Super Lead (
I know they get a LOT of hate... but my Origin 20 head into the matching 2x12 vertical cab with Greenbacks in it = The tone I've always wanted to hear while playing guitar... There's something in the feel too. My LP straight in and cranked with the Origin in 3w mode Absolutely rocks!!.. The tone is full, chunky, thick and has that Marshall ..Klang!.. Basically imagine every AC/DC riff.. but it takes pedals great too.. loves boosts and overdrive. So much fun !!... the caveat is the Greenback upgrade. It's a must.
What is the second Amp you got ??
I went with 3rd Power Kitchen Sink. Before Satch did. Lol. I do love Marshall though.
I just had an SV20H (Studio Plexi) delivered today. It’s incredible! The only Marshall I’ve owned previously was a JCM600 2x12 combo in the late 90s. This plexi is a totally different beast ❤
I had the JCM 602 which was the black tolex & cloth. The other was JTM 602 which was a grayish brown with a tan cloth. The amp sounded great especially on top of a 412. I fried my power tubes 4 times because they were horizontally mounted and would get too hot. Eventually I sold it and got a DSL 100. Which I still have
The Marshall JVM 205H can sound just like the 59, maybe a little cheaper but it’s a keeper for me, great video!
My modern (Sort of) JCM 2000 TSL sounds fantastic with the SD-1. So does my 68 Bassman through my Marshall 25W greenback 4x12 cab
Robert, back in the day when I first started jamming in cover bands I had 100 W Marshall head and 412 bottom which was really nice! But now I have an amp from as you know the guys that left Marshall and created Blackstar so I have a Blackstar amp now I love it’s fantastic
To me, the 'SD-1' and 'Tubescreamer' were made to bolster relatively weak, lower gain amplifiers. So it seems strange to me seeing so many people saying a 'JCM and a 'Screamer' are some perfect combo (no pun intended.)
I’ve been thinking about picking up the Marshall DSL20HR, it’s getting great reviews everywhere. I reserved the DSL100HR because it’s marked WAY DOWN, but it’s back ordered. I love Marshall tone
I've had a couple of Marshall's. They were expensive and heavy and never really did what I wanted. They were very unreliable and I blew them both. You really couldn't give me one. I now use a Rivera for high gain and a Fender for cleaner tones. Both do what I want and I've had zero problems, just routine maintenance and a pot required replacement in the Rivera. I live in the UK so getting a Rivera isn't all that easy over here. But the amp sounds so good and it's so reliable it was worth the effort to get one. Line level control, switching functions in the loop, push pulls on EQ, loads of headroom, just fantastic.
There are companies like Budda that make better Marshall's than Marshall and if that's what you want, look around.
Marshall's seam so bloody outdated, they're like museum pieces and lack practical modern features. So nope, not a brand that I'd even vaguely consider.
Do you have any thoughts on PRS, at least for high-gain? I'm thinking more along the lines of the MT - obviously if you think Marshall is antiquated then you'd have no use for an HDRX.
bridge strat was my no1
tele chords sounded full
The markup on the Marshall prices in the US has really tarnished the brand for me. In the UK they are known for bang-for-the -buck. Those studio models are sub-$1000 if you convert pounds to dollars. Then you come over here in the US, and they were over $2000. Its like buying from a scalper, and this covid-era of Scalpers ruining every hobby I enjoy kept me from paying that mark up. During this time, it allowed American boutique builders like Friedman to undercut, or Suhr to provide SO MUCH MORE for the same price. Now the ST20H is $200 less than a Friedman Little Sister... but I'm kinda soured on the whole deal. I spent the last 10 years pushing Marshall out of mind due to their markup, should I really push aside the other guys now that Marshall has come to their senses?
Nope. Theres more to life than marshall. Fender imo was always the better sound. Theres a fender for every possible situation too. I love super reverbs the most and cranked with a gibson its a nice place to be. But you could work with deluxe reverbs, princetons, tweed anything really etc.. theres a lot more going on w fender amps than marshalls. And even if you need something hotter a mesa boogie mark series has you covered. The og mk i and mk iis were basically a bassman circuit in a princeton cab with a 12 inch speaker.
It’s shipping. Marshall are expensive in the US but reasonable in the UK, and in the UK Mesa and Friedman are outrageously high priced and far better value in the US. Cant do a lot about that massive bit of water in between us. Friedman BE100 is about $3999 US. Equivalent UK price is $1000 higher. Nobody buys Mesa in the UK. Too expensive and just don’t hold their value here. Dual Rec loses two thirds value when used here!
@@Coolbeans1492 I feel like such a nerdy outcast by loving Vox more than all things. LOL!
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 i love vox man honestly. They’re so so good and their actual circuits are amazing. The speakers are good. For the price of a standard vox ac series you can’t really beat it. Even a deluxe reverb doesn’t have as good a circuit as an ac15 but there’s just something about fenders man. Clean they’re beautiful and when you crank them they fill out the mids beautifully. But if it’s abt amp for money can’t beat vox
Fenders are overpriced at UK anyway,,,, eye to eye...
I heard Marshall say they make more of Bluetooth speakers than amps now.. I had a JCM900 in my room with w 4x12 for years. I jam on a Yamaha THR10ii now.. Its amazing for practice
My wife got me one of those bluetooth speakers for Christmas, but it was defective and upon returning it couldn't be replaced because it was sold out. It looked cool. Yamaha, though is the working man's brand. They make killer stuff that people can afford.
That amp does sound great for a new one, though the bloomy yet tight marshal thing just doesn’t happen without the requisite approach, which you have!
Thanks buddy :)
I love the marshall sv20..its damn near perfect. Still crazy loud without attenuation
Music gear exports must have had some sort of readjustment taxation wise in England. Marshall amps are suddenly a much better deal. I would have a tech put the super lead's bright cap on a switch. You'll enjoy your pedals into the amp a lot more that way. It's nice to have the cap for cranked amp tones though.
My favorite Marshall is a Lead 100 MOSFET. I finally got one on reverb after years of regretting selling mine.
Actually, I like the studioline series 20W JCM and JTM. Budgetfriendly and great tones.
The JTM45 is great too.
So happy for you. This amp fits so much with the kind of music you’re playing ! With the jcm800 you’re all set ! Cheers
I wish Marshall would come out with something like fenders tone master for their famous amps
Im a ENGL guy just never had a marshal and dove into helix last couple years and has some great uses but its hard to beat a good tube amp
Always appreciate the Kalamazoo! 😎😘
More videos please. This one was great!
I think they also need to bring back the UK made Lead 100 MosFET. That is a killer amp. My biggest amp regret is selling mine. It would directly compete with the Orange SuperCrush but also bring a different flavour.
Sounds sick dude! My buddy bought two of the hand wired Marshalls like a month before the price drop 😬
Ug thats gotta hurt. sick amp though.
The amp sounds great, would love to have one but to be honest Sweetwater doesn’t extend those kind of discounts and gives their promoters the goodies…no offense meant, I would take them up on that kind of pricing also!
I tried to buy a returned JEL-20 Friedman that was $1650 and they offered it for $1600 as a return…no thanks.
I was trying to buy an EVH Frankenstein Demo for $1750 and they told me a promoter was interested in it and would let me know if it didn’t sell but of course it sold and I never heard from my account manager, I had to call two days later to find out.
I am just not that impressed with their customer service and unfortunately most small local dealers have closed in OKC, OK and all that is really left is GC which are not customer friendly.
I don’t mind buying online since I am a guitar tech, for over 30 years, so I can do my own setups etc and I can spot if there is a flaw with the guitar immediately which is why I was willing to buy from Sweetwater but they did me wrong twice, hence, I didn’t use my Sweetwater Card for a year so Synchrony Bank closed my card for inactivity.
That amp has a killer sound and I believe that amps are going to come back.
I have two Peavey 5150’s, two PRS Archon 50, two Carvin Legacy and Legacy III, three EVH 5150 (Iconic. 5150 iii EL and 5150 iii 6L6), two 73’ Fender Twin Reverbs, two Cieriatone JTM’s and a GK 250-RL like Maiden used on Somewhere In Time.
I love real amps!!!
There are a crazy number of pedals out there. It would be cool to see a video that broke down some of the different types and what they're used for - and maybe some of your favs
I've gone down the pedal rabbit hole. It gets very expensive trying to find 'the' pedal. Frankly, I'd rather spend all that money on one good amp head. Pedals are harder to resell too. And the more cables you use, the more problems you will have. I've found that the best sound, for me, is a guitar direct into a great tube amp. I use a Marshall JCM 800 and will be buying an Amplified Nation when I get up the nerve.
The tc mojo mojo is a surprisingly great boost for a plexi style amp and can be found cheap. Worth picking one up if you haven't tried it yet.
Yes! I use to have one awesome pedal
Agree, nothing beats my Marshall’s for live gigs and recording. They just cut through in the mix and I’ve tried everything else. The modelers are cool but they make every sound except the one you want/need. Also reliable for the most part. I do get technology is improving and being compact, but it’s all a simulation of the real deal.
I bought my Marshall SV20H from England. It cost me around $760 for a new one. They are ridiculously priced here in the US. Of course I had to buy a step up transformer to get the right amount of power, but that was still cheaper than buying the head in America, not even counting taxes.
I think selling the audio gear like speakers and head phones will off set the big stuff though, that being said the JTM20 is a big win I think. It's no where near as expensive but you still are getting that classic marshall sound.
Great tones, great playing. Always enjoy your videos, Robert!
I really like your channel man, but I’m not sure I get what Marshall is doing so great or what will “save” them as far as growth of their amp business. Kills me a little because I love Marshall. On prices, I believe Marshall has some sort of new distribution agreement that is allowing their amps to be more price competitive in the U.S. That’s a win for them. But in the product development department IMO they are sitting on their hands and letting other brands like Friedman and Suhr deliver what modern players want Marshall to be putting out. For instance they could have a modern line that includes some of their famously “modded” circuits and add stuff like onboard attenuation - or develop entirely new amps. Unfortunately I think they are more focused on their lifestyle products
Ever tried a Blackstar HT Stage 100? Incredible.
see, I'm of the opinion that the studio series is what could save them. Nobody needs a 100w amp with how efficient modern speakers are and how common it is for venues to run everything through a PA. Couple that with bedroom hobbyists making up the majority of the market, and the price drop to $1299, they're a bargain comparatively and sound the same as the big ones.
A handwired studio series is all they need to get the vintage guys interested. Knock the DSL down ~$125 across the line and BAM, they've got the new players looking for their first good amp. They're definitely in position to either make a comeback or go full Gibson in the next couple years, I really hope it's the former.
All I've ever owned are Fender tube combos......but when it comes to bell-like clean tones, Marshall CAN do that too. Lots of headroom.
Yeah. I wish Marshall would have had their stuff together before I bought my amps. But there are so many good amps out too.
Wow man that was good loads of fun thats whats it all about,noticed the mids came out good
Still rock’n my Marshall Origin 50C Robert and living it 👊🤟🤘🤙🖖💪
I've got an original from 1971, paid £90 for it, equivalent to about $112 in todays money. It's serial No. is stamped D for 72 but the chassis is dated 71
Funny how Marshall is cheaper in EU. But I guess that is normal when products has to go over the pond. I found that Marshall 1959HW for about 1,750 US dollars.
About the same happens the other way around when we buy US made amps.
Prices across the board are dropped, I’ll be looking out for the 50 watt 1987X, they’ve been back orders for quite some time.
Love the look and sound of that seventies Les Paul! 😊
Great purchase sounds incredible
I just don't see Marshall surviving without supreme innovation in the age of modelers and amp sims.
I think they should do some small tube amp with USB that could accept IR Impulses.
@@fernandes5986 , that would be excellent. If they do it correctly, they could offer some competition to Spark Minis.
Meh. In the USA pricing has really held them back, if the Studio Vintage series came down to a good bit below Friedman or if they offered HW 20watt or 50 watt versions at a Friedman price point (and hopefully below with their 50watts) they will do well in the US too. If modelers are the only way then why are so many boutique manufacturers doing amazingly well?
@@mikedfurman , yeah, but they are MARSHALL. They're legendary. I don't know why brands can't seem to understand that, especially in this economy, brand name alone won't cut it.
@@karlsalocks , you really have never played a modeller in the last few years, huh?
Cheers for this, yes the HW amps are Xpensive and the SV20H is a great 20 watter. Get a hold of a ST20H and tell us all what you think.
I think it sounds good. Is that an 80s sd1 or a new one? Have you ever compared the two sd1s?
What pick are you using? I'm going through a pick madness right now and need help/suggestions
Check out Dunlop 'Flow' buddy. Get the mixed pack and find 'the one'. Check whether you'll want XL or the standard smaller size. Also the yellowish Dunlop 'Ultex' picks are good for picking precision/speed.
@@lightningstrikes7314 thank you! i'm going to order right now
I’ve personally been using acrylics as of late. Got some Gravity Picks and a Red Bear Trading Co. pick that I really enjoy.
So many amps and guitars. So little time! I will put that one on my bucket list too.
Also, I thought the Marshall reissue pedals turned out great. I have a couple and like em.
Marshall also needs to continue with tradition since the 80s by continuing the jcm series. Like the jcm 800, 900, 2000, now something like jcm idk 220
I ordered a JCM800 a few weeks ago when I saw the price drops. I'm so fricken excited
Congrats thats a DEAL!!
I hope they get back to making amps like my jcm 800 ZW 2203. Best 800 I’ve ever heard. I have a dsl40 and it’s ok. But it could be much better. They need to start offering things like REVV a Mesa and Victory. Load boxes built in and cab sim. Along with xlr outs
This vid made me drool. I'm a 50W guy, so I've been jonesing for a 1987x for a long time. I'm actually on the fence of , selling one of my Hiwatts for one. Good vid.. thanks !!
MY 800 is a 50w. I discovered when using the OX I love the bloom a 100w head gets because we can really crank it.
Nice Marshall, but it can't do HX Stomp tones.
Dig the Marshall sound. Dang, this video makes me miss my old rig (MusicMan HD-130 with an OD-1 enema to wake it up some.) Maybe again one day. Keepin' it forever bluesy.
