Marshall SV20 Channels Jumpered With Boost

Just a quick demo of the various amounts of gain you can get from this amp.
I had a request for a video with it jumpered and thought it would be a good video to help people who are interested in plexi style amps and want to know how much gain you get with different ways of using them

One of the best sounding Marshalls I've ever heard. And when you kick on the SD-1 it's totally killer.

[@howabouthetruth2157]

ABSOLUTELY!!! I don't care what anyone says, for me personally, this is the best damned amp Marshall has ever made. I gigged professionally for years in east/central Florida. During that time, I had a 50w JCM 800, and later, a 100w JCM 900. ( the ONLY reason I bought the 900: a music store in Orlando offered such a huge discount, I couldn't pass it up......I later sold it, because it was just TOO much ) I demo'd a couple of these SV20's recently (the head/cab and the combo ), and I swear to you, it totally eclipses the Marshall amps I had, for dynamics/touch sensitivity, and real USABLE volume with the much sought after tone, in most venues. In many of the clubs, by the time I backed my volume down to a tolerable level on my 50w JCM 800, it lost most of it's headroom. Ya get to keep that with this little Plexi. It has sweet tone & really nice gain ( that pedals can increase if needed ), yet it cleans up nicely. Most touch sensitive Marshall I ever tried. Even at 60 yrs old now, many of us can relate to the old saying: "I was born too late"......but this little Plexi totally reverses that philosophy, lol. If only this little amp was available back in my clubbing days............SIGH.

[@angusorvid8840]

This is why I've always preferred the British tradition of amps, centered on Marshalls. It's that natural reactiveness. The problem I have with hyper-compression American/Boogie style amps is they lack feeling. They are all jumping compression. With a Marshall you feel a genuine connection between the pick hitting the strings and amp. This is a good reason why so many classic guitar tracks were recorded on Marshall, why they're the choice for live performance. Now that Gibson bought Mesa Boogie, we can expect the cost of this "lifestyle brand" to rise and rise while the value sinks. I'll stick with Marshall. Easier to repair as well.

[@KauffeyBean]

I love my Boogie Mark V but you're not wrong. There's something special about a well configured Marshall.

[@liveatalexs]

I have a gorgeous hand-built Princeton Reverb & this SV20H. I love them both for different reasons, but I totally agree about the lively reaction between pick, strings and amp. I also love the natural clean compression of a Fender, sometimes you need the slick approach.

Great demo and playing Matt, these really are a fantastic amp, no pedals required just like the old days, it's all there in the volume control on the guitar, but stick a TS or similar in the front and it really sings as sweet as anything, back it right off and the cleans are there for you as well, i used the big versions back in the day but these 20w compact heads are once again a great gigging amp for us worn out old fellas, you really demonstrated the tones beautifully 👍

Dude. I've owned this amp for 2 years now.

[@mattrobinson]

Congrats, it’s a great set up. There are so many great tones in this amp from clean to high gain. Best amp I’ve ever had for sure

[@eyedunno8462]

Channel jumping (parallel operation) reduces gain due to the miller effect. It adds "body" simply because there's different bright cap values per channel volume pot but effect that dissapears when you crank the gain. It's most useful when you have split cathodes for each input - one being the "Marshall" 2.7k/.68uf and the other being a "Fender" 820ohm/25uf. THEN you'll really get some added body from two distinct voicings. Cascading the channels (series loop) is where you send the input of the first channel back into the other for more gain - that's what old-school Marshall guys did to unlock all of the gain potential within the amp. You loose a channel and the volume now acts as preamp gain for the other, but it's a Marshall so who cares? That's what the guitar volume is for anyways

[@jeffp5730]

Your playing matches the amp perfectly. Sounds great man!

Really nice demo. I still think it has some great dynamics for higher gain settings. This is loads different compared to the modernized, sometimes sterile rock/metal amps in general feel (not a bad thing; they all have their place). The attenuator is a must though since you really have to drive these little guys just like the bigger versions. The depth addition too; I’ve always hated all the low end sucked out of an amp by an OD. The Lone Wolf Audio Burning Spirit eliminates that with a 3 band EQ, and several modern pedals like the Direwolf really help add bass back and still keeping it tight. But if you must have that SD-1 flavor, you’ve got the ideal setup. Again, nicely done and thanks for posting.

[@metalbeavis8429]

This is the amp that I need for classic heavy metal \m/

[@ericroyals8819]

Great tones in your demo! Sounds killer! One thought I’d like to propose to you: I know from building and playing Super Lead amps for years that because of how the presence control is wired into the circuit, it has a big influence over the amount of actual gain you get out of the amp. I’ve not looked inside one of these 20w amps from Marshall yet, but I’d bet the EQ is structured the same way as their classic NMV amps. You dimed the treble volume at one point and said “this is the most natural gain available from the amp without a boost”, but your presence knob never went higher than 4 or so in the video. Just for your own experience, I’d suggest bringing that presence knob up higher around 7 or 8 (or as high as you can stand it, as I’ve come to say)... you’ll hear a lot more natural gain come out of the amp... might need to keep the treble lower, and boost the mids and lows (or blend in even more of the normal channel, or just roll the tone knob of your guitar back a bit)... but you might like what you hear. Also-love the SD-1 usage here. I do the same thing. Great classic sound. Rock on, man!

[@mattrobinson]

Cheers mate and thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely try that with the presence. Never realised it affected the gain

[@alanroughley8319]

In the 70's I played through a 50W plexi and found that the characteristics of the space I was playing in affected the presence quite a bit. In a big empty hall (boo hoo, no-one came to see us) having it at 8 would hurt my teeth, whereas a smaller crowded room (whoo hoo) it was fine. Dunno about the 20W tho' I'd be interested to find out. I'd also recommend more use of your guitar volume than you'd use on other amps. Great demo.

[@angusorvid8840]

Marshall understands the dynamics between gain and presence. The bright distortion of a Marshall is my favorite thing about these amps. The right kind of brightness means you don't need as much gain and dynamics come through. Marshalls are very much about feel, about sweet, singing sustain, not sustain out of extreme compression like Boogies and other high gain monsters. Although Marshalls can be used for djent where they really shine is in the tone pallet they created, the classic rock tones from the sixties through the 80s.

[@mattrobinson]

I get what you mean about the treble and gain thing. It’s the treble that gives the impression that it’s gainier than it is. I’ve found that if I try and set it too dark it feels like less I’m using less gain.

[@eyedunno8462]

There is some practical truth to that statement in which many amp makers commonly adopt the same practice of today: The Marshall method of cutting the sub bass frequencies (V1 .68uf cathode bias, then .0047 coupling cap) at the beginning stages of the preamp circuit is what enables it to more efficiently amplify the mods and treble frequencies we most commonly hear. As you begin to add gain, you get a nice compression effect where it is no longer making the signal larger but "smooshing it." Now those amplified frequencies aren't a muddy undefined mess but a manipulative pallette of endless possibilities. It also takes less power to amplify mid and high frequencies so the amp is further increased in efficiency, IE - louder

NOTHING like a Marshall -- especially vintage style Marshalls -- for "BIG" rock. Or, at least for the best era of so-called hard rock... which, of course, was the 70's and 80's. And if one knows how to work a Marshall it's actually one of the most versatile rock amps (out of the box... no mods) there is. From Jimi Hendrix, to Thin Lizzy, to Van Halen, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Steve Via, etc... and everything in between and all around. I know when someone's using a Marshall head and do not have to see what they're using. Nice demo... you sound like a Marshall aficionado. Sounds nice. I actually didn't know the SV20's could sound that good. VERY 100 watt-ish on the tight bottom end. Rich, vintage Marshall sounding, for sure. I'm impressed.

[@mattrobinson]

Thank you, I agree 100% about the old Marshall thing. I’ve had everything from blackstar amps, soldano’s to moddlers over the past 20 years and never been close to being this satisfied with an amp. They are just so alive and reactive to how you play. It’s easy to see why all the greats used them. I think every guitarist should try an old Marshall type amp at least once in their life.

The SV20 has a unique crunch power chord thing going on that I like (Kansas, Free/Bad Co, Foreigner) but the workhorse amp with the ability to sound very close to an 800, the DSL20 is the one I think is the killer of the Marshall minis. 1/2 the price, not M.I.UK. but Vietnam.

The amp starts sounding good at around 1:00 on the volume to me and that’s crazy loud without the power station. You also get to run your reverbs and delays through the loop on the ps so you get studio quality fx that aren’t getting jumbled by the power amp distortion of the Marshall. It’s expensive but worth every penny if you can afford it

This is spectacular....and the SD-1/Marshall combo is spot on. A Tumnus sounds incredible with these amps, as well. I've noticed with these amps in the 20w-30w range, the bottom end can *COMPLETELY* fall out. I've got a Soldano 30w, and while it's a stunning little amp, it's got the same problem. I've got to use a Tumnus to tighten it up. I've got an SD-1, and a Boss EQ 7 on order to see if they work, as well. In this case the SD-1 works well with the Marshall, because it "compliments" it, but with some of these amps, these pedals can over-ride or change the characteristics of the amp. And, the Fryette is indispensable for these amps. Short of the amp itself, that piece of gear is probably the most valuable piece of gear I own. With Marshalls/Soldano's, you definitely don't want that. GREAT demo! This sounds killer. And, the clean channel on this amp is steller. Has Texas blues written all over it. 🙂 Well done, sir!
