1959HW | Product Demo | Marshall

[@SammyDavisGuitar]

I've had this amp for 4 years now. Worth every penny.

[@Caleb-fv5fp]

Have you played it on full volume yet? Everyone has to play a 100w plexi at least once in their life.

[@mikemorrisonmusic]

@@Caleb-fv5fpif it hasn’t made you feel like the sound waves might tear you apart, it’s not loud enough. 😂

[@cliffords2315]

@@Caleb-fv5fp I played 100 watt Super Leads on 9 (close enough to 100) for 12 years, back in the early 70s through early 80s Back then you needed to have a stack on full power so you could be heard in the audience, now they Mic everything so not many get a chance to do that, I mean we were playing small clubs with them totaly cranked out. Later around 79 started using a Tube Screamer and added to the gain and sustain. But yea its very fun to play on 10. After they are couple years old, they start distorting allot better.

[@ThePanchomack]

thank you so much for showing the clean sound palette ....most of the youtube videos try to show all on 10. love it! great playing, cheers

[@russelw.6288]

next time show the settings for each sound please :) Great sounding beast

[@JKRambo57]

Can you please run a demo with power amp tubes glowing as well?

My dream amps

[@Dagger_323]

My favorite was the JMP 100 Super Bass that Paul Kossoff used, which you guys unfortunately have never reissued...

[@christianboddum8783]

A 1986 (the model) would be nice too. 50 watt super bass amp. I'd like an efx loop as well. I'm currently thinking of getting 2 Origin 50 combos to drive my Helix in stereo through some EL-34s. I may never get to play halfstacks again... at least I have done in the past, and know the sound and feeling ;-) After some research I see the Origin 50 has the same design fault my JTM-60 had (horizontal tubes close to circuitboard) tsk tsk, so no go, when will they learn? it didn't work, it doesn't work, drop the design!! I wish Marshall would do severe road testing of new designs, before letting them into the world, at least a year with somme gigging pros, to catch any mal behaviour.

[@Russell1982]

I’m always surprised by this too. I’d love to be able to pick up a super bass reissue.

[@rypatmackrock]

At least Marshall for a while reissued Lemmy’s murder one super bass amp which was limited anyway. I’ve always been curious to try real bass guitars into these old amps that were originally designed for bassists until guitarists picked them up. I’ve been able to try a stock fender PBase into a fender baseman re-issue which was still a usable set up. At least Lemmy showed us how it was done in Motörhead, let alone Jack Bruce in cream’s heyday until he moved on to cleaner, modern base amps.

[@Dagger_323]

@@rypatmackrock The original Super Lead and Super Bass amps were hardly any different. The only real difference was the addition of a bright cap on one of the channels that the Super Bass lacked. It made a bigger difference to basses than it did to guitars, but still Super Basses possess a slightly cleaner yet girthier sound that Super Leads lack.

[@joshuaallgood7030]

@@Dagger_323 I always thought the super bass had more low-end. (hence, super "bass")

[@diwattos]

Original sound

[@monkeyrater]

Glad to see Marshall is keeping the Plexi going. This was not a good demo though, a Plexi only sounds good when cranked. All his clanky low gain sound made this amp look like a Fender. I really suggest Marshall do a video on their entire amp line. I really have no idea what their amps do. Most every other amp brand is pretty obvious what each of their amp models do but somehow Ive never seen a video on what the current line of Marshalls do.

[@NiRo_90125]

I mean, the original Marshall amps, including the 1959, were really just modified Fender amps.

[@monkeyrater]

@@NiRo_90125 You might want to spend a little more time learning the history of Marshall. The original amp that was a copy of the fender Bassman was a DUD and was rejected by Pete Townsend as such. It wasnt till they modified it to be more high gain that they achieved the Marshall sound.

[@pmkrak]

The greatest Rock amp ever. The right amount of gain saturation and distortion. Anything more than that and you loose this amp's great thump and punch. That's the problem with modern "high gain" amps. They have too much and the sound gets washed out. Not this amp!

[@USDAselect]

It's an awesome amp but the downside is that hand-wireds are expensive af. I'm just fine with my 1987x and it's effects loop.

[@claudiocruzat4624]

For the record.. this head does not use big tubes...just valves. In their site they give specifications Sounds nice but its waay too overpriced. They stopped using tubes a few years ago.

[@SeventhStringHeaven]

Very wrong man.

[@timvanngman]

Claudio Cruzat Tubes/Valves are the same thing dood.

[@SeventhStringHeaven]

I think what he thinks is that it is the origin amp. Which I believe uses preamp tubes but a solid state power section. This amp certainly ain't that.

[@mwrable]

Nice demo, 👍 would have been even better with a guitar tune.

[@DragonnHendrix]

The only issue I can Find is the 1959sl is LOUD as hell and need to be LOUD to squeeze the power valves..keep this in mind...but there is no better amp for rock...

[@mcfek7575]

Its the plexi

[@stevodlugolinsky6304]

is this setup OK? I mean plugging a 100W tube amp into a 100W cabinet (4x25W).

[@aniksaha9169]

Yep, as long as your head wattage is not greater than cabinet wattage

[@Evowar05]

Not necessarily, as the 100W is the clean sound rated wattage. When you crank it up into distortion, you'll push it further than 100W (hence why many people blew greenback 412 cabs in the past and used 2), but as long as you don't go to 10 for a long period, you should be fine.

[@hootowl6354]

They say, to be safe, your cab should rate twice what your amp puts out. If I was running a 100-watt amp into a 100-watt cab I wouldn't dial it out, but that's just me.

[@LuisMesaOfficial]

this one or the jtm45 reissue? opinions ?

[@the92project]

Get a bluguitar amp1 and get both amps. No joke, it sounds amazing and won’t break your arm while moving it

[@virzito]

I have a JTM45 and a 1987x . When I bought the 1987x the shop also had a 1959 super lead , so I tried it . The 1959 , for me, sits in the middle between the JTM and the 1987x: it has a rich and full clean like the JTM and also the cranked plexi tone like the 1987x. Ended up buying the 1987x because the 1959 was a older version without the effects loop.

Why does this kinda sound like a kitchen radio, and not like the big, full guitar tones of the early 70s?

Jimi H used jtm45. Jimmy P used this amp. Edit...I stand corrected. I always just associated him with the 45.

[@ScoopChunk93]

Jtm45/100 😃

[@Dagger_323]

Jimi H used this amp later on. He started out using JTM45/100’s.

[@xyzd70]

Page also had his running on kt88's for more headroom since 100 wasn't enough at the time

It has to be attenuated or plugged into a speaker further away/in another room. Doesn't sound really that good I'm sorry to say, could be the player?

I have a 1964 50w Fender Bassman head that could "out-Marshall" any Marshall (from that time period) that you could possibly A/B it with, but I still dig how the old JMPs (as well as the new ones!) sound. Great demo - thank you. Probably one of the ugliest Les Pauls I've ever seen too, but great demo none the less. :)

Or just do like me get an early 90s superlead reissue (mine is a late 92 without the fx loop) back when their trannies were still made the same way as in the 70s and 80s in the UK and it sounds WAY better than that brittle lil box called sv20h i had.
