Marshall Studio JTM - Marshall Have A New Amp

[@marshallamps]

Thanks for the support guys!! 🎸

[@christopher-miles]

yo! what's up? anyways; he never discloses if it's paid promotion/on-loan/free product/endorsement?! it's very straightforward to do. between us, i think it's for tax reasons. rock-on!

[@rselp]

1:44 Paul clearly states that Marshall have gifted this amp to him. I look forward to seeing your retraction mate!

[@Mitch-6-Strings]

@Marshall Is this any good? Rather than harping on and reissuing past glories, I would like to see some brand new ground breaking stuff. New Amps, new technology. We are now in 2024 ! C’mon Marshall, I know you are no longer a British Company 🇬🇧and sold out, but show us what you can do. Forwards, not backwards. It’s the wrong direction. Take a leaf out of Blackstar and follow their lead….

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Marshall.

[@jessetate9701]

We need know is a dsl mk ii or mark iii

[@nebojsaciric4656]

Man... let me tell you just this : this is exactly how an amp review should be made ! Thank you !

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you liked it.

[@Malburn]

Sounds great, thanks for the vid! That vintage Marshall tone, it's magnificent, never gets old!

[@colinhardy6396]

It’s great to see Marshall bringing out a new product.

[@chrisdrake447]

OMG!!!! That grind at c.6:30 with the P90 Les Paul - jaw droppingly righteous. Think I’m in love ...

[@martylofberg]

p90s are just amazing

[@b10t3rr0r]

Paul is starting it up ;D As a owner of Marshall 1962, I'm really intrigued by this.

[@chadhagene7665]

The best review of this amp on the internet. Great job!

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you think so!

[@BrettPapa]

Yep I'll be getting one of those haha! Great demo.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers BP

[@christopher-miles]

welcome, welcome, welcome. hahah

[@DrDrake_Ramore]

Got the combo 1x12 for £600 used in pristine condition, after watching this demo. It is glorious!. I’m very pleased, thank you, Paul.

[@truthtorpedo99]

Always preferred other brand amps than Marshall. Now THIS is something i want to buy. I only need this and a delay, reverb and booster and I'm all set. Great review btw

[@rselp]

Yep, I’m going to be gigging with this amp. I’ll use a wah and either a Treble booster or Tube Screamer into the front end (or both!) and a Keeley Halo or Strymon El Capistan in the loop! It’s a killer rig!

[@barters8124]

These studio Marshall’s are so good. I want one of each. So far have the SV.

[@DanM-ys5pz]

My God that sounds glorious. Marshall is really hitting it out of the park with the whole studio series of heads.

[@BADJeuJeu]

You’re a great musician. You understand the guitar and amp combinations better than anyone I watch on KZbin. Thanks

[@TheStudioRats]

Appreciate that.

[@dbeach562]

Agreed, his videos, knowledge and talent are the best.

[@MacawAviculture]

I tried all the Studio amps, and did not like any of them, many thanks to Sweetwater for their service and return policy. I love my Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100 watt head better than any of the Studio series and it is easy to find a great used one for half the price. Using a Marshall Power Break attenuator to manage volume, a Boss RV-500 into the effects loop, and a Keeley Compressor Plus with a Boss SD-1 in front of the amp easily produces all the great Marshall sounds with better headroom and clarity. Thank you for all the great music videos Paul Drew!

[@DBroce]

I got really excited about that amp when you showed it had an FX loop. Nice demo, Paul.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cool, thanks.

[@mikespadafora9077]

Love the way the Tele sounds

[@matthewhirt6092]

Feels like I'm hearing Malcolm Young play. Incredible amp and great demo!

[@fadlyhans82]

I wanted to purchase the Fender TM SR. Now I got to think again. It was a great demo!! Thanks for your time and effort with this.

[@TheStudioRats]

My pleasure.

[@Ianos-Music]

Great demo Paul. Brilliant sounding amp. I was surprised at how versatile it actually is!

[@timbaker1320]

I love the AC/DC style into. The tone, the distortion/compresson and tele sounds awsome. You play guitar like I wish that I could.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Tim, I’m sure you play great!

[@jordanpratt3821]

Man this dude always gets the best out of amps.

[@shorerocks]

I really like it. From all the Marshalls I owned I only kept the JMP-1 preamp (into a EL84 20/20), and OD1 sounds like a dream. That being said, the JTM sound wonderful.

[@makahaj341]

Thanks Paul. Sounds like it could be a great platform for playing slide.

[@TheStudioRats]

Absolutely!

[@caleshtcincredibles]

Man that Tele sounds wicked through that amp , amazing !

[@davidwicksmusic]

First thing I noticed too, amazing tone! I'm usually not a fan of teles but whoa it sounds great here!

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

Doesn’t it just , marshmellowy squish n spring it’s a fab tele amp

[@ZillianZilch]

I’ve got the plexi version and I absolutely love it but I’m sorely tempted by this. Damn you Marshall.

[@CBguitarfun]

Same.

[@Utube-s8m]

What a nice gift. Someone said to use a white marker to just mark the knobs. Carefully. Great Paul as always. I’m 2 days behind. Sorry.

[@tranqbee6543]

Great job as always Paul. This amp sounds magnificent! I have the studio Plexi and Jubilee which are also great but this fills the collection. We have a 1986 JCM 800 so we never tried the studio 800. Really excited to grab one of these

[@TheStudioRats]

Ohh id like a vintage 800

[@tomgnau]

Excellent explanation of how this kind of four-hole Marshall works. This is the wisdom of the ages.

[@deanmlshredder]

You got the best sound I've heard out of this thing on the Internet. You really are a studio rat

[@Adventuresingearland]

Sounds mega! Great first release after the big corporate changes earlier in the year - wonderful work @marshallamps

[@JohnMcGFrance]

Sounds great but alas it’s way beyond my budget as I’d need the cab as well. My Katana mk2 100 gets pretty close to those vintage tones so I’ll be sticking with that. Cheers for the review though. Always good to hear new gear.

[@ant1738]

My wish: The Studio Rats publish a few Neural captures of this amp for the QC .. along with the speaker .. PLZ!

[@ajcajc5429]

A loop,I'm gonna get one, great tones paul sold!!

[@takemebacktothen]

This is fucking amazing! Marshall just killed it with this JTM studio 20

[@wizardz7938]

and your wallet.

[@SeanNebeker]

Tele sounds best IMO. Tone is beautiful I have to have one. Also, Paul is an amazing player, complete natural.

[@seventwistsclockwise]

A simple mod to mine was to snip the mix resistor bypass cap or "2nd bright cap" on the high treble channel (not the one on the volume pot). This gives you a nice pedal platform as unfortunately the normal channel is too dull.

[@donciseau]

Love the tones sir!

[@maryannmoran-smyth3453]

Sweeeeeet , this could be my next amp really fast… Great show Laddy… Keep on rockin

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Mary.

[@toneydavis9802]

Paul - I do hope this is caprured on TONEX. Great sounds and a great demo as ever.

[@TheStudioRats]

Not this one but we are looking at a jtm45

[@TheRodge2112]

Love the sound of the old jtm45.

[@markhoskins]

Great demo!!! Sounds very much like Bluesbreaker... as you'd hope! I agree the knobs are not great. Shame they didn't go with the knobs from the Andertons JTM145. Sounds fantastic though!!! 😍

[@TheStudioRats]

Thanks for watching.

[@anthonycraig1458]

Good video, one thing that appears to be missing is a valve rectifier. Any sag with the amp when it's cranked? Certainly noticeable with a regular JTM45.

[@dananthony6258]

If I could only have one amp this might be the amp.

[@philroselle1514]

Great video, really enjoy your reviews

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Phil

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

Fender and Marshall sound Soo good together.Jeff Bek played a his Strat thru a Marshall stack on his 72 Beat Club apperance .Check it out.Oh And Hendrix loved his Strat and Stack combo.

[@terryflatley3025]

A New Level of greatness Wow

[@paulr.4968]

Sounds like “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll”❗️

[@thetanman2233]

Amazing playing as always. I own the SV20, really considering grabbing one of these too. I think Hendrix’s favorite studio amp was actually a JTM and not the super lead that he’s usually associated with

[@nate6692]

I'm a die hard grew up in the 80's JCM 800 fan but ... this might be the one I actually buy.

[@Johnsormani]

Well, you can buy an original 80s jcm for between 1000 and 2000£ but for an original jtm 45 you need to remortgage your house

[@ctatrains]

If I thought the direct out into a DAW for recording could sound as good as that I would consider buying it.

[@BillCookMusic]

Excellent review. For clipping, I prefer this to the Mini Jubilee. But the loudness …

[@murlyn2]

That amp sounds fabulous

[@chadhagene7665]

Sounds great! Id love to hear a comparison between this and the SV20 if you still have it.

[@gilldanier4129]

I was thinking the same.

[@irishRocker1]

I had just decided to get an sv20 as I was torn between the sv20 and sc20. Now I gotta rethink 😅

[@adhaskym.a9536]

Why

[@dbeach562]

For me it's this or the mini jubilee. I don't care much for the speaker that comes with the jubilee. The speaker that comes with the JT. seems to sound better. Hmmmm decisions. What do you think?

[@KHGuitarFreak1988]

From 1:27 onwards, I initially thought it was going to be the intro to Owner of a Lonely Heart XD

[@Ronskie66]

Great amp, I have it but I would add one more downside apart from the hard to see knob settings, which is the DI out doesn't do silent recording on the combo and I presume the head too, so you have to hear the amp whilst recording, fine if your playing clean pretty much, but overdriven/distorted means playing at louder more cranked volumes in a bedroom, which is difficult if not impossible. 5 watts mode is still plenty loud. A speaker has to be attached at all times or you can and probably will damage the amp. Depends on what your needs are. I live in a small flat and need silent for recording. Ways round it but I think they should have had the DI out do silent recording after all it's marketed more towards the bedroom player than the unattenuated amps of the past. It says the DI out bypasses the internal speaker of the combo which makes you think it does silent recording, but the marketing doesn't make it clear that the amp needs to be connected to a speaker at all times. You only find that out when you get it and read the manual or by doing first recording. I would have still bought the amp anyway but it's definitely a downside for me.

[@tomjansen3432]

Looks great, sound pretty nice... chapeau Marshall, sweet new amp!! Still think I´d prefer an Ampete TWO or a Divided By 13 + a variac for these kinda tones in a studio setting.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

It sounds real good.

[@haitchkay]

Beautiful sounding amp. I just ordered the head and 212 cab today. Ill definitely be adding a reverb pedal and attenuator to make it more usable. What reverb did you use for the recording?

[@gsep1056]

This is a great classic sounding amp. I would enjoy this all day. I'd love to hear what you think of the VHT D50.

[@billylindsay5712]

I played along with this video using my PRS HDRX20 and it gets the same tones, I would be interested in you doing a comparison. I really love marshalls and have gigged many of them over the years. I do not currently have one in my studio but this one really interests me. Great playing as always!

[@TheStudioRats]

That’s interesting, I’ve never tried the HDRX.

[@bobbyarthur-yf3yf]

Ya I just can’t find a video doing that direct comparison … been searching it just doesn’t exist

[@amandae2211]

Great review, thanks! How do you think it compares to the (wonderful) BluGuitar AMP1?

[@deanopie4390]

I expect a tonex pack soon pls ;)

[@phillamoore157]

Of all the amps that Marshall has re-issued…..the on that set the benchmark for Marshall is the JMP. It’s yet another strangely self-destructive move from Marshall. They refuse to make an amp that reflects the various mod’s that were done to Marshalls over the decades, all while companies like Friedman, and Marshall have built very successful businesses on that exact business model. And, they refuse to re-issue the best sounding Marshall built, by almost everyone’s standard, who follows the brand. Very odd. That said, this is a cool amp, and it sounds really good. Cool, look too. I agree….a tiny white dot to let you know the knob setting, was a no brainer, that Marshall missed.

[@Johnsormani]

I would like to hear this next to the JMP plexi version , but I think I like this one more. I can get plexi kind of sounds mit my 1979 JMP, but this sounds really fantastic as well

[@robertalsbury]

Great video! I have the studio version of the jubilee (bought it when you compared all 3 studios). I’d like a little more dynamic response / “touch sensitivity” in my amp - would you say this gets the job done? Or would getting this in addition to the jubilee be redundant?

[@madsenamplification]

As someone who does amp repair I’d love to see the build quality inside the chassis.

[@TheStudioRats]

I might open the amp up and shoot a vid.

[@Muzerino434]

Holy shit that’s a gorgeous tone! I was all set to get the JCM800 version but now I’m torn.

[@fadlyhans82]

The JCM version is great! I have it. But most probably you wanna get both. You won’t regret it. I’m getting this JTM too! Gonna ask the wife if it’s ok first. 😂. Cause she ask me what’s the difference otherwise than the color and such.

[@watersnortmoment3734]

If you’re in the US, just buy a handwired clone, you can actually repair them and they aren’t as absurdly priced for what they are. They’re in the perfect price point in the EU, but they almost cost twice as much in the US.

[@Muzerino434]

@@watersnortmoment3734 I’m in Australia. There’s only about $150US difference between the JCM800 20W and the JTM20. And they cost $950-$1000 US here.

[@absinha6209]

Fantastic sound

[@CemSaydam]

Hey Paul, thank you for this good demo. I have 2 questions. I like this vintage low gain (love gain perhaps) style Marshalls but I also like jcm800 drive sounds. I want to buy both however I can't decide on one thing. I know this jtm sound amazing as a head with proper IRs. How about the combo version? I wish to buy jtm as a combo first then I want to buy jcm800 as a head so that I can have both + a decent cab from the combo. What do you think? I must say that I also have a torpedo live, so having a combo is just for fun, not a necessity. Is it a good plan? 2. question is, which one of them (jtm or jcm800) have more sag and compression? Which one is easier to play (blooming)? Thank you and cheers from Turkiye.

[@jaco_h5013]

Great video will this amp get the jimmy page tone with a tele and les paul

[@DoubleDguitar]

Looks and sounds great.

[@Paul-D]

Sounds bloody fantastic. I do wish they added a master volume though. The jubilee works so well at literally night time home volume levels haha. They say the original didnt have one, didnt have an effects loop either lol.

[@TheStudioRats]

I was going to say the original didn’t have one. Then I read the rest of your comment about the fx loop.😀

[@mmatthewias280]

Try an OxBox or suhr ir and play with headphones or monitors. You’ll never have to choke down the amp. Master volumes (even good ones) always change/effect the amp in a negative way. These amps (and all tube amps really) need to be opened up, not choked down, to sound their best IMO.

[@BrandonEht]

The JHS little black box actually works quite well. I use it with my vox and it really maintains the character of the amp

[@paulkreeft2091]

Soo nice, I wonder if five watts would be too loud to get edge of break up and boost with a overdrive?

@@chrisdrake447 I'm completely understanding of having to pay more for something that has to come across the pond, but almost double is insane.

[@chrisdrake447]

@@BXGuitars ... definitely not disagreeing with you! Pricing difference here is inexcusable. And at over a £1000 on home turf, it’s still way outside many folks’ budgest. As someone else commented, “Tonex captures” anyone?

[@dougjfindlay]

Great sounding amp, lovely to see another addition to the range. I bet it's loud, maybe too loud for home use without an attenuator? People dont half talk a lot of rubbish about build quality. Its basically an incorrect internet meme that gets repeated. I've got a DSL20CR and it's great. I would like to see a higher end dsl equivalent, something along the lines of a friedman runt ir JJ jr, but I've seen reviews where the dsl beats those. Make that one next please Marshall.

[@Mac-td7lt]

Holy shit! That is nice. Why no humbucker demo?

[@MaxTor2112]

Man that time is great! Are you straight into the amp? Nothing between guitar and amp? Is the sound comming from real cabs or studio monitors? Thx

[@TheStudioRats]

Too loud, unless you have an attenuator

[@steveosmanguitarist]

[@rhaulvictor9288]

How is the headroom of this amp? Why I was about to buy a Mini Jubilee because it has the most Headroom out of all Studios. But the sound of this one is amazing!

[@h2ophilter]

nice tones! odd observation on my part, but the main light looks like it has a candle like flicker - not sure if that's the camera's FPS causing that or not.

[@BlueTitan7]

All good mate, but humbuckers would drastically change the tone! I was waiting for it, P90s kinda half way there!

Marshall valve amps have always been my go to amps, I gigged a pair of 79 master vol 2x12 combos for decades and not one reliability issue, to many amps out there with dopey tweakings that dont match up to their expensive price tags, come back to the good old Marshalls and you have tones to die for without all of the dopey propaganda that we see so much of in other amps.

[@ARONHALLAM]
