[@morningstar3188]

Yes lol

[@SajidWaikhom]

Indeed Marshall is the best. The rest is garbage 🤣

[@Guitar387]

That’s the best tone I have heard anyone get out of the DSL 20 , it actually holds up pretty good to the SV and SC considering they cost twice the price. All the amps sounded fantastic.

[@NikolausBrocke]

You are right. After intense listening the DSL is the closest to the SV20H.

[@divebomb99]

A more perfect example of how to make an amp demo does not exist. Standing ovation!

[@watersnortmoment3734]

It could be improved a bit with a looper playing the exact same riff through it for the A/B tests, but otherwise it's a pretty great demo

So basically, a Marshall is a Marshall... is a Marshall... With slight nuances, but the core tone is always there. Great video by the way, love your content. :)

[@Joshcheyka]

finally someone playing stuff that doesn't sound like plucking a porcupine.

[@GeoffSweet]

Plexi. You can push it to heavier territory but only IT has that classic lower gain growl.

[@fernandolopes2544]

So nice how the little plexi really sounds like the real thing here. Made me miss so much my ole mkii 50w. For this kind of music, the sv has it all… much more organic and open tone.

quite honestly, this video is the best advertisement for the DSL series

[@WholeLottaBulldog]

Massive congrats on the weight loss mate. You look very healthy. And as always, stellar video. No shit, I'm excited whenever I see youve uploaded; very few channels I can say that about.

[@geraldd10]

Man you win the prize for the best shootout video I have ever seen. Great feel on the guitar, cool songwriting, great video editing. I have a DSL 20 and feel like it held its own, except when you went for the more dissonant chords (which I loved). It also struck me that the plexi model seemed to sound the best on all the playing styles, chords and single not or double stop type riffs. I actually played a combo version today and loved it. Amazing work man, Marshall should send you a 100 watt 1959 for all your hard work!!

[@grizdeluxe]

DSL 20 hangs with the big boys. If you cant get your "Marshall" tone out of a DSL 20 you need to buy a Fender

[@tbird1138]

Just finding this video but I think I'm gonna be the minority. I like the DSL20 the best. For me I think I would go DSL, SV/SC as a close tie right behind it. As for what I would get, well... all of them!!

This amp demo is absolutely incredible. By far the best demo of the amps I’ve heard or seen! Brilliant content without all the fluff that others use as fillers. Excellent!!!

[@harvesteroftone5473]

I know it's not the popular opinion, but I preferred the DSL20. It's got a special "something" in the upper mids. I'm a metal guy though.

[@DadoSimicStudiostriver]

Less central mids intense for sure.

[@darkmelody9300]

Me too

[@graemedixon6314]

I think the dsl seems like a good all rounder

[@natethompson1257]

Same here. It wasn’t as compressed as the others and sounded more full in the higher gain mixes. The Silver Jubilee sounded pretty good too, but a tad too compressed imo.

[@TVoltG]

@@guitarexpert2245 whatcha got?

[@JoseyStranded]

I bought the SV20H a year ago. It's my ninth Marshall amp and the one I like the most so far. It really is a great and versatile amp if you don't need channel switching. It's got a really great clean sound and the overdrive just can't be beat in my opinion. When pushed hard it goes almost on the fuzz territory. It's also a great pedal platform if needed. The only thing I wish is that it would have that same vintage look on the rear panel too.

[@Fartinhalerr]

I thought it sounded best here. I'm a boogie guy but I do have a dsl20hr that I like alot. I doubt I'll ever get an sv20h but they're cool for sure. Sounds like a much bigger amp

[@LeStraTele]

is it okay if I want all 4? I like each one for different reasons. The SC20 and SV20 sound more similar than expected.

[@mcswordfish]

Really enjoyed this video. For me, I think the SV20 sounded best, but it's hard to tell how much of that was because I've already decided I like that one the best (I'm a follower of the Church of Hendrix, so why would I want anything else) and so my pre-existing bias will steer me towards that one. That said, they all sound, and given how much less the DSL costs, it's an incredible machine.

[@rangerdoc1029]

The mini plexi has the most balls. A simple boost could get it into the high gain territory of the others. They all sounded really good here. For most versatility, I'd probably go with the Jube.

[@stephenlawson1659]

They all sounded great however.. I did find the SV to have more rounded dynamics sponge and quack!. Really moved me more because due to the lower gain I believe the voicing of the notes had more character. I have always been a super high gain dude in my younger year but learned over experience less gain can actually create an impact of heaviness due to clarity in tonal shaping. I like to use an mxr micro amp in front of the pre or other gain pedals for the option of higher gain without boosting volume or changing the color of the existing tone.. Peace!

[@koenstrobbe8101]

Great comparison. Went back and forth multiple times between them. The SV has the most open sound and tone separation esp. in the crunchy chords. Very noticable so.

[@EmptyKingdoms]

TURN THAT DYNAMIC CLEAN INTO A FULL SONG PLESE GODDAMMIT IT'S SO GOOD AAAAAAAAA I NEED IT

[@williamapolinar1018]

[@motorrebell]

Great comparison - the Marshall Origin 20 would been very interesting to match too.

[@kettenlaiho3983]

I totally agree!!

[@garettoverstreet]

I had it and regardless of how cheap it costs or where it is made, I actually had to return it because it was too freaking loud! The tones were spot on Plexi but you'd better budget for an attenuator!

[@joec1360]

Agree. There's a 50w Origin half stack 4x12 right up the street for $600 and that shit is new. I have no need for it. Stop me before I go get it and pretend it's always been there lol. Great review bro!!

[@stratolestele7611]

IMO, having owned one, the Origin isn't in the same league as any of these. I found mine to be the thinnest, lifeless Marshall I've ever experienced. Absolutely no balls to it whatsoever. Volume? Sure, plenty of volume, but useful? Nah, not at all. Effects loop was also the worst I've ever used. "But the cost!" well if you want the Marshall aesthetic as a decoration, you've got that. It looks pretty good. "Nails that plexi vibe." No. No it doesn't. It doesn't come remotely close. I thought for sure that I could eq it, and use any of my pedals to get me into usable tone - nope. I also couldn't get any bass out of it. Tried every cab I own (1x12s, 2x12s, and my beloved basketweave 4x12 loaded with the excellent Hellatone 25s) with it all with the same result. Put alongside my JTM45, it's just not even a fair fight. Yes, the JTM is much more expensive, but there's no changing the facts. The JTM is what a proper plexi sounds like. The Origin is the worst amp I've ever owned, and I've owned a LOT of amps over the course of my 30 years of playing. Hear that chunk, that chug (albeit in the plexi vein, of the SC here? THAT is what you want.

[@topherrrr92]

@@stratolestele7611 really? I’ve gotten some pretty convincing tones out of my 50 albeit I’m running 6CA7’s instead of EL34’s. Running through a slightly deeper 2061cx clone with v30’s. I turn everything up except the bass which I keep at 9 o’clock. Gain is around 3-4 o’clock. Presence is up for extra bite and the tilt is used as a generalized EQ adjustment. Boosting the front with a morning glory, low gain and high treble and it sounds pretty nice. Obviously not a jtm45 or plexi but it gets in the ballpark when dialed in.

[@scriptureexamined4664]

SV20H sounded like what I'd consider a Marshall tone.

[@hootowl6354]

But could you tell if not watching? I doubt many could.

[@edwardprete]

close your eyes, listen and try to identify each... yeah, I didn't think so.

[@BA-uy5wc]

Just a fantastic job and effort putting this together. I have the DSL20H and really enjoy it and am convinced I will add the SV20H to keep it company!! BTW, the one nice thing the DSL20H also offers is the 3.5mm audio input jack on the back to plug in audio for playing along with mp3s etc. The others don't have that...

[@shane2973]

I was listening to how the Plexi didn't have that upper "fizz" on that classic crunch tone. Really like that! The 800 and the 252H both sound like the gain needs to be backed off a hair, almost like a blurry image where the plexi and surprisingly the DSL both sounded clearer yet still had that great Marshall crunch...very cool. I think also if they weren't back to back like that you may not notice, but in this demo i heard it right away

[@KeganVanSickle]

They all sounded great. The DSL held its own just fine. I wonder if the components are higher quality in the UK made Marshalls. Anyone know?

[@adamwatson6916]

Probably not so much higher quality but just different. The studio amps are based on vintage designs so they would have more vintage spec components and the dsl would have more common modern spec complaints so difference in components is more down to design.

[@rikmcrae]

What a fantastic demo but they really do sound very similar. I’ve played the SV20H and SC20C and they sounded very different from each other in real life. So I guess the cab influences the sound much more than the amp. I’m also a single coil player, Strats and Teles, so that mixes it up as well. I prefer the SC20 both in your video and in real life. Thanks 👍🤘🤘🤘

[@ladislavmalak444]

I´m suprised how good the DSL sounds compared to the "classics" - for half the price. At least in this video....

[@Drewitall54]

DSL series gets a bad rap because of how shitty the earlier JCM 2000s were. DSL is actually a really great sounding modern amp. Kind of a more compressed JCM 800

[@thomas.a.sieber1511]

That was my thought as well, the clean parts are good but most of all the ultragain part is quite impressive

[@vibrator-heavymetal-miskolc]

Impressed with it to the degree that I'm really considering switching my Randall RD20H for the DSL20! One important thing is that most listeners pair the 800 with iconic performes. Who had their JCM's heavily modded-hot rodded a good amount of cases, and I think the DSL deivers that pretty much! One guy here on YT made a DSL sound like Iron Maiden Powerslave album tone without any added pedal or EQ so... it is not a mere modern take I'd say :)

[@DRRIFF666]

This comparison is superb and how comparisons should be done. Top job and thanks.

[@thapadai]

This is a very well played and excellent comparison video, covering essential Marshall signature tones. Addressing most aspects, all amps sounded fantastic,. Great video keep More cool videos coming, will be on the look out.

[@bradleyshuppert3393]

The Marshall….. because they all sound alike here….

[@francesco0185]

Someone should tell you: I don't mean to be rude but in your videos (not just these) all amps sound the same. I don't if it's due to the IR or something else but the sounds not natural. Sorry. P.s. I listen to videos using Bose monitors.

[@ThorJeppesen]

I like all of them, amazing comparison video! I had to listen at a low volume (it is late around here), because of listening at a low volume I noticed that the 2525H was the one that cut through the mix best, also noticed that it was probably because of the very rich mids it has, sounded huge even thou my volume was very low. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@TomTom-wro]

Man, such a great comparison here - Thumbs up! Marshall is so reach in harmonics and has the most recognizable tone by far if comparing to other amps! All Amps sound great in this video, for me personally Silver Jube is the BEST fit for its flexibility and an ability to follow each of his small brothers tonaly with only a few potis' moves. It is such a great amp, guys! I own the 2555X for this very reason, I'm probably still yet to discover why Bonamassa, Frusciante, Steve Morse, Slash and bnuch of other guys are using Jube. For now, I know that you should first let the amp run for 10 mins for tubes to warm up, then plug in a really good attenuator - yeah, Marshall is a Marshall and needs to be pushed with at least 70% of the power to reach to an optimal working point for power tubes. I did it this week after owning Jube for 1 year with no attenuator - this is a totally different beast now! Playing at home / small stage / gigs guys with 50W even (can reduce power from 100W to 50W) is still like a thunder in a quiet forest! I tell you, SPL Cabulator + Marshall Jube = perfect combination! ..and I own also Marshall Vintage Modern 100W, DSL 2000 50W, couple of other brands. It seems like I will always come back to Marshalls, despite the fact there is a number of such great amps nowadays - Marshall plays with a roar, with such an overwhelming tone like only a few others can. "If I stand in front of my Marshall and my balls aren't shaking, I ain't satisfied". This is what I remember from Kerry King playing his JCM 800. Rock on!

[@cliffords2315]

I gotta say that Vietnam made DSL sounds great, i also love the Plexi its a toss up, the Jubiliee sounded a little thin

@@ryanjameshardy8370 You feel Plexi’s in your chest. I’m a high-gain guy too - but there’s no denying the percussiveness and authenticity that translates into, as you say, authority. Cheers~

[@BigMikeGuitar]

@Just J Those are many of the same observations and experiences I have negotiated with Marshalls over the years of tone chasing :) I think the Boss TAE (Tube Amp Expander) with its own supplemental effects loop might be the way to go for these old Marshalls - of course any solution you can put together with an external load box, external loop, etc. will work. Also, the ‘Circle of Tone’ KZbin channel just did a great Iron Maiden rig rundown featuring Marshalls with dirt boxes getting smoking hot, iconic, and even modern high gain tones. I started out with probably the best Marshall I could ever hope for back in the day - a 1977 JMP 100 watt with matching 4x12 loaded with 30 watt Celestion’s. Deeply regret selling. My brother and I went through a bunch of Marshalls, including having them modded by local amp gurus like Andy Marshall of THD amps, and a few others. Had some great tones - in retrospect, probably didn’t appreciate them enough! Currently own a 50 watt Plexi on a rare 8x10 cab (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hprZdKx9nLeKsMU) Cheers~

@@PainterDans The FX loop is an important feature, which makes it far more versatile. Cheers~

[@stuartpopp472]

All sound very good. I have an original 50 watt jubilee combo and a 73 100 watt head. For all around natural tone I still lean towards the 4-input Vintage amp. Some times the Jubilee can sound a little to dense and the natural clarity of the guitar gets buried if you are not careful. But, the Jubilee is a more varied when you put a pedal in front of it, much easier to get a balanced voicing at lower volumes.

[@Smart-Alex]

[@Zwidawurzn]

I have the DSL20H a few months now. It sounds bigger than it is and feature-wise there's everything i really need from an amp. Real Marshall fans probably hate it since it's made in Vietnam but the whole amp was cheaper than the repair cost of my old german-made Engl so i went with that for now and i don't regret it.

[@DelScully]

I'd love to hear an or15 or some orange variant vs one of the new 20 watt marshalls!

[@RichusRkr]

I took the JCM 800 studio home for a bit, even with the treble and presence down I couldn't get rid of a screechy ice pick sizzle that started on the 3rd string and going higher. tried different guitars, got the same ice pick sizzle and switched to my other amps, and the high notes were so much smoother sounding. the sizzle wasn't for me, I returned the amp. wish it sounded as good as it looked. they say the originals would be modded by replacing the bright cap, well paying $1400 for an amp that needs to be modded is not what I call a good idea.

[@warrenmooney9422]

Well you can see it doesn't count ice picky here. You were probably EQ ing the amp wrong.

[@dragonpundit.6443]

Back to back...they become more articulate but more strident as you go up chronologically. The DSL is a little scooped. The plexi is sweet but a little muddier. They all sound good and each hold it's own personality/marketing. Nothing looks cooler than Plexi! That DSL is jammed for the money...a real bargain! Love what Marshall is doing here.

[@gplume1099]

I agree with the amount of work involved and the recording quality BUT, in my opinion for comparison and even reviews tracks shouldn't be doubled. It tends to level out all the subtle differences there is between amp model or guitars.

[@elmolewis9123]

Outstanding playing. This is the format that comparative demos should all follow. I can only guess the number of hours to put this together. I have been on the fence with the DSL and I have to say, you've made my mind up - if I can get half as close to your tone, I'll be happy. Great job.

You get some great tones out of these amps (like with everything else I've seen you do). The SV20H is becoming very popular, in fact it's sold out in most of the UK currently. I'd love to see a video with the some drive pedals in front of the SV20H to see whether it's versatile enough to be a metal powerhouse.

Tom, Marshall production lines are back up and running so if anyone puts in an order for a SV20H at an authorised dealer they will not have to wait too long for delivery.

[@metaljonesy]

Another fantastic review/comparison. It's hard to split the 800 and the plexi for the most part, only when you want a bit more saturation, the 800 delivers, the Silver Jubilee has a slightly different flavour and probably the most tonally versatile. The DSL is nice sounding, but I think if I were to choose (based on what I'd want to add to the amp collection based on what I have), the Plexi would be the one I'd go for

[@shawnbogstie2827]

The SV and SC nail so many rock sounds. TO my ear, the DSL is just a tad dark and less articulate, but not enough to warrant spending the extra money on the SV or SC. It still sounds like a Marshall and if I close my eyes I can pretend it's whatever I want. DSL wins for flexibility hands down!!!

[@thomasrychlik8584]

I think you were able to dial them all in to sound very similar at all gain stages, I also think your playing is exceptional!!!

[@stuartpopp472]

I did try a 50 watt JCM 2000 back in the year 2001 for a band practice and I was pretty impressed by it. I use a strat and I got as much gain as I would ever need without using a pedal, lot of variation in gain levels, very easy to get a good sound.

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

Marshall should make Vietnamese produced 1 watt versions of all of these...similar to the 50th Anniversary 1 watt heads,...but obtainable and affordable, like the DSL1HR. But since they seem to be having quite a bit of difficulty keeping up with current demand for the products they already make, I don't know how likely any new products would be anytime soon.

[@juhalehtonen9000]

@SonicDriveStudio I´m considering EITHER getting JMP-1 preamp to play thru my redseven duality 50RS fx return, or one of the studio series. Which would get me the BEST Marshall crunch tone? Think ACDC.

[@deanofrankenstein6391]

Okay, that was the most comprehensive comparison video I've seen of these amps. Awesome job. And I'm still torn on which to get! Lol I've ruled out the DSL, but I really like different characteristics of the other 3. They all sound good, & all have their individual strengths. Damn.

[@J_Braz_]

I've had a dsl20 head for few years. Not very happy with it. Was using a Harley Benton 2x12 horizontal cab with v30s, then tried a Marshall mx2x12 vertical cab and that cab sounded worse than the HB. Finally got a good deal on a b-stock mesa recto 2x12 horizontal vab and, Viola! "Its alive!!!"

[@MakerMark13]

I have the DSL20cr and I love the damn thing, however and my question is if all Marshalls are this way but my amp is SO speaker influenced, I mean the stock 70 eighty wasn't terrible as most say but it wasn't that warm cream I was seeking. I run my 1x12 combo with another 1x12 extension cabinet. I tried the 50w Hempback, 25w Greenback, 80w 70 Eighty, Electro-Harmonix 12VR 75W and combos of all of them and most say nothing beats this amp with 2x 25w Greenbacks!! (for the sound I'm going for dark stoner rock like High on Fire, 70's metal like Black Sabbath). My fear though, if I play without the extension cabinet in full 20 watt mode, getting flubby chugs. Is the creamback the higher wattage greenback as far as sound goes?? Oh I almost forgot, my point, every speaker sounded vastly different from each other and almost like playing a different amp all together. Did I mention, I love this damn amp! for such a reasonable price point, Marshall has knocked it out of the effin park with this number!

A really well done video! I've played some of these in RL and they sound more different than they do here. They all sound great to me, although I think I like the SV best and then the Jube. They'd be a great combination. The 800 sounds good too but I don't know, I think there are better options for the price out there featurewise.

Sorry but in a Live application there isnt much difference in Tone nor sound between any of these Amps. They all sound Great. They're All Marshall's. However, The Dude Playing Guitar plays So clean and articulate that I'd bet He could make Any Amp sound Great. Really like this aGuys playing Style. 😊

i've tried a dsl20 and it was really brittle in the highs. did your choice of cab impacted the crazy highs some of these amps can have normally?

[@kevindavid37]

Another great video, another one I would have paid to see. This is quality content. Very professional. Love it! ❤️

[@marcfonseca3205]

That sounds really good all of them also great pieces of work to display that great Marshall sound.nice job brother.

[@TheJeffcurran]

Honestly, one of the better amp demos I've seen. That's an impressive set of amps. The DSL20HR really surprised me with it's fat tone. and it's the cheapest of the bunch by a long shot. Great work.

Agree totally 💯

@@dontwan4266 What is 800$!??? DSL20???

[@rkb3573]

Excellent comparison. Love the plexi, but probably getting the DSL for now. Great Job.

NO PERSONAL OPINION? So these U Tubers think what they hear is the same as what I hear. It's different. And I have an audiophile system, but FRFR speakers NOT 12" stamped frame guitar speakers.

[@Guitar387]

They all sound incredibly similar I can believe how good the DSL sounds considering it’s half the price. I’d say the 2525H has more what I describe as resonance and a fuller tone but it’s not miles apart.
