A Marshall Full Stack gets SCHOOLED by a LEMMY Full Stack!

I'm comparing a Marshall 100W Full Stack to a BRUTAL Lemmy Marshall Full Stack, which means that the bottom cab is a 4x15 instead of a 4x12! I'm using a 1973 Gibson Les Paul Custom and a 1974 Gibson Grabber bass (you'd be surprised how much Rickenbacker this one sounds)

[@cchavez248]

" What's your bedroom setup?",. "Oh, just a little 'ol Lemmy stack." Oy!!!!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Hahaha! Only if your wife is Lita Ford 😂

Way back when, I had a black panel Twin loaded with EVM12Ls sitting on top of a Dual Showman sized 2x15 (loaded with EV SRO15s) in my dorm room. Needless to say I'd get the occasional visit from the staff on the floor below!😁

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks 😉 great to hear that!

[@KekmanForTheRestOfTheWorld]

in the late 2000s i was at a festival with mostly metal bands playing. they were all loud and heavy and all that stuff. it was time for motörhead to enter the stage and i was standing in the front row: Lemmys amp got pushed on stage and people paid their tribute. After a while Lemmy stepped on stage, plugged his bass in and strummed a note to check if everything is working. As he hit that note everybody took 3 steps back because is was pure mayhem coming out of those speakers. must have been the loudest and most heavy sound i have heard to this day. certainly by far the loudest thing on that festival. i will never forget

[@JohanSegeborn]

Glad to hear that! Lemmy didn’t compromise

[@juppheidi]

Been to Motörhead in Dortmund for the Sacrifice Tour. Lemmy came onto stage, strumming a few chords and I thought " Wow, that's gonna be loud!" comparing to the support act. And then someone turned on the PA... Lemmy flipped his cigarette and said: " In case you're in the wrong show, lemme tell you: We are Morothörhead!" and then all hell broke loose... You couldn't even order a few beers in the hallway of Westfallenhalle II without using your fingers.

[@rickycompton2610]

This was a treat Johan, This is the best amp channel on KZbin hands Down, Thank you Johan for all your great Videos!!!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Ricky! It’s great to hear that!

[@nonolaporte3195]

I never thought a full stack would ever sound thin in comparison with anything... but that 4x15 gives such girth to the sound ! I can't imagine the pain in the room without ear protection...

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

That's outrageously good. Those 15 inch speakers are thunderous. imagine hooking up a Marshall Major to those cabs, I think the earth would tilt over!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, I have a video where I play a Major 8x15” full stack on the channel actually

[@RomanRotten]

Lemmy's tone is instantly recognizable when you play bass.

[@timmbosliice]

Whoa, the Lemmy stack sounds huge! I need to try a 4x15 some day.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! Glad to hear it

[@jcoulter43]

That Lemmy stacks sounds monstrous!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks man! Glad to hear it

[@-k-b-]

It's not even close!!!! That tone is insane! The bigger speakers just push so much more volume out I love! I'd love to hear some Stoner Metal riffs through that amp in ridiculously low tunings 🤣

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! I’ll try to include that later on

[@pablomusicgear7288]

That is an amazing idea. Please Johan pick up some stoner guitar player in the town and bring him to your rehersal room. 😂

[@bengtjohansson6364]

Lemmy (RIP) knew what he was doing. The addition by the 4x15 is great, also for guitar. Great video, thanks Johan! Could you put your power trio back together, and make some recordings with the Lemmy stack? Would be interesting to hear in the mix.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Bengt! I’d be delighted to do that! Cheers

[@bgingras05]

I need a cigarette now. That 4x15 sounds amazing with the grabber!

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks! 😂 Great to hear that!

[@Silvio_Spina]

Jeez, you can feel the air pressure with the lemmy stack

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, yeah being in the room I can testify on that 😂

[@gooseabuse]

Since guitar frequencies are so directional, I always thought it made sense to have slanted cabs on their side to widen the space being hit.

[@chrisdee5032]

Puts me in mind of the old Wem Watkins V front Dominator amps.

[@Nghilifa]

AWESOME, Just awesome! Takk skal du ha Johan! 😁

I expected the Lemmy stack to sound good with the bass, but I was actually surprised by how much more I preferred it with the guitar, also! 😎

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks, yeah it adds both bass and presence

[@scotthutchens1556]

Love the sound of that 4x15! So full sounding but really dwarfs the 4x12! I have some 15’s but don’t really use them. I want to line my two 15” bass cabinets with fiberglass and close the back up but port them.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Scott! I have a blanked in ‘floor’ of this cab to tighten it up a bit

[@scottstewart6353]

[@BigTrouble324]

Wow ,that's massive! Go big, or go home! The ordinary stack sounded like a combo in comparison. Marshall needs to re-issue those 4x15 cabs. A wall of 4x15 cabs, woooohoooooo!!!

[@eddieholmes3236]

That was awesome! Thanks Johan. The Lemmy stack was killer for the rhythm parts - really punchy - but I preferred the standard stack for the single note work.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Eddie!

[@jeffallen3382]

I have a George Lynch signature Randall 4x12 slanted cabinet. It is slanted side to side like what you did with the Lenny cabs here. It is loaded with Celestion Lynchback speakers. It sounds amazing!

[@JohanSegeborn]

[@dennisperusse3837]

Damn, that sounded awesome! I’m kinda wondering if Lemmy’s set could have been scaled down slightly for similar effect? Meaning that the full Lemmy Stack is a 4x15 and a 4x12. Now, imagine a half Lemmy Stack of a 2x15 and a 2x12. Would that give a similar tone? Furthermore, now imagine a 1/4 Lemmy Stack of a 1x15 and a 1x12. Could one get an even smaller scaled down version of his tone just with a scaled down speaker compliment yet similar speaker configuration if the Marshall amp wattage was scaled down as well? In the first full stack his amp was at 100 watts. Now what if in the 1/2 version of Lemmy’s stack was using a 50 watt amp and the 1/4 stack version used a 20 watt Marshall amp. Would the tone be consistent across those three configurations? Just a thought in case you wanted to try this idea out. :)

[@JohanSegeborn]

Thanks Dennis! Interesting idea!

You should try two straight cabs in a stack, gradually tilting the top cab forward, seeing how much it ACTUALLY matters.

[@stefftrim]

Hey Johan. Right @ 5.08 you get such a smooth tone and I heard it first time and had to replay it immediately. Those frequencies from the Gibson bass was right there - perfect to my ears. By the way I have 2 A cabs stacked too. I have 2 R/C 55 Hz greybacks and 4 25 watt Pulsonics and 1 G12S and an OEM in the cabinets (OEM @ the top) My challenge has been recording with no mics. I have a Roland VS 880 with hard disc in from mid '90ies and it has been a drag to record and mix. I'm looking for an affordable alternative, Johan. Any suggestions; I have a pc too.

[@JohanSegeborn]

Hi Steffen! I had the VS840 in the 90s! I think can use some freeware like Reaper on any PC with a sound interface like focusrite scarlet for a very low price
