That is a really nice amp. Would really like to see you get a bigger Marshall. Maybe a jtm45 or a jmp 50 or even a 100w. I have had a 50 and 100 both were very different animals. But i swear by them. I have down sized to a new marshall studio vintage 20w with the 2x12. It has the same DNA as the plexi with a fx loop. Love it. I bet you could get the sv212 for your 18w. Get a lil bit more out of it. Your sound is awesome with this amp. Can't wait to hear more out of the Marshall 🤘🤘 Funny thing is I'm looking to get a Fender Bandmaster lol but I'm in no hurry.

in my old playing days, My Dual-Reverb blew up one night and a buddy let me run my Strat through his little 100w Valve-state combo for the night.

[@atbear]

Love your vids. I was building an 18W 1974 1x12 combo style amp and kept upping it and upping it and I ended up doing a 50W JTM50 2x12 combo style amp. Along the way I was talking with Jim at Scumback Speakers and ended up with 1 M75-PVC and 1 J75. The M75 is like a Greenback (I got his 65W version) and the J75 (also the 65W version) has a bit heavier magnet (40oz instead of the Greenback's 35oz) and is between a Greenback and an H30 tonally. Jim suggested this pairing because it's an open-back combo and the J75 supports the bottom end that the Greenback can lack outside of a closed-back 4x12 cab. Anyway, back to the amp- the JTM50 is the amp that was Marshall's transition between the JTM45 and the first JMP amps (Super Leads, Super Basses, etc.). It still has tube rectification, but went to 2 EL34s instead of the JTM45's 2 KT66s. I don't think you could go wrong with any of those amps, but while the JTM45 is 30W, the rest are between 50W and 100W, depending on which one you get. Thanks for making these vids... keep it up!

[@vapporiesat3125]

bro that is the amp i have been loving for so many years. nothing ever comes close to the 1974x. welcome to the club :) here is the secret trick to get channel 1 for cheap: there are "harley storm" and "golden ton" amps called "smart 20" around on the (european) used market. they are handwired, made in china copies of channel 1 of the 1974x. they sound amazing. it is really exactly the same thing (i have an original and a harley storm copy). bought the harley storm new for 90euros from a spanish reverb seller. these amps were sold at german/french/spanish discounter supermarkets in the early 2000s. there is also a "smart 10" which is a very nice champ clone and a "smart 30" which is whatever (vox?). good luck finding them, they are the best value ever.

[@karlos3611]

Hi Mathew, Man just want say I'm not one for leaving comments as a rule... but i love/dig what you do. Your tone is fantastic.. what ever your playing or playing through it never fails because as we all know a high percentage of the tone comes from our fingers. I came across your channel last year and ive watched them all and some many times. And on finding the gea.. well you put the effort in for the most you will get the rewards and in your case that's seems to have paid off many times. It is obvious that you loved Stevie as we all did but even though you use similar gear and know the licks and tones you also have your 'own style' and tone which is great very refreshing. Ive been playing guitar since the late 70s but stopped playing live a good few years back due to hand issues so kept out of it for a while but your stuff seems to have resurrected the desire to play again. Only had one sniff of a Genuine 62 back in 1985 but i couldn't raise the cash at the time even though it was dirt cheap. Then the Uk got the gist of things vintage wise real quick and it was impossible to buy anything unless you were very wealthy and even then you could get ripped off by the greedy retailers who thought it was ok to charge the earth for everything and the fakes were everywhere and as you know knowledge is key. Keep doing what you do its awesome and its about time some of the big names gave you the heads up and maybe the chance to do something along side them for more exposure if that's something you would consider. I still have quite a few guitars and amps in storage im going to dig them out and dust them off. Peace (;

[@spideymarino]

Sounds stunning IMO. Would be ideal for a band like the Black Crowes.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

The Firebird sounded so wonderfully at home with the amp ! 😃

[@mikecamps7226]

The 18 watters have a cult following. The topography is that the circuit is very simple and on the order of a tweed deluxe but with el-84's......A simple single section pre-amp with volume & tone and a phase inverter though its not a cathodyne phase inverter but the later long tail pair. BUT as a simple amp circuit, it could be built both ways with the inherent differences. The Long Tail pair has its own gain characteristic and the old style cathodyne phase inverter has a gain stage in front of it that does its own thing as the signal thats hitting it goes up.......essentially the how far you turn up the single volume pot as that just controls the pre-amp tube section......as the PI gain stage will probably start to overdrive and compress faster than the pre-amp section itself since the signal is being increase in the pre-amp stage though really relevant to how that first pre-amp stage is biased. I have built these as clones before for clients, and there need to be a right balance so there is a good swing with the volume pot......as if its pre-amp is biased too hot then the volume swing and range is a very small window for variations. AS far as el-84 tubes go......they would normally tend to be a brighty harsh type response BUT in this circuit, they tend to be tamed down and sound good and full and not bright at all. They do have their own breakup & saturation thing to them which can be juicy. I do set the power tubes up to be cathode biased and the voltages have to be correct for the tube operation......so combined with a very efficient speaker can sound quite loud as there is also the psychological effect because of the distortion character when its up in the zone. BUT you also need to consider these are el-84 tubes and they run about $10 each for replacements or slightly more......kind of a disposable tube for the cost that you can beat the hell out of. The feedback loop in the amp will also influence the rawness of the response or if its tamed down......and the over all loudness. BUT the amp design is not limited to just 2 el-84 power tubes as an 18 watter........there can be the 36 watt version with 4 power tubes...4 el-84's. Should you need more actual power to compete with a 40/50 watt big power tube amp such as a super reverb or tweed bassman type. Obviously its an amp that would be better as a head unit as not to be limited to a single speaker and cabinet situation......so with a head you will have more potential for variation. The 18 watter cult tend to use a Hammond organ reverb module to convert to an amplifier being the chassis and the donor transformers for the platform. But personally I think the chassis is too small as it could use more room for all the circuitry. So if I were to get a commission to build one, I would start with all new transformers and chassis of a size that is more friendly and with more room for the guts. BUT in the world of building custom amplifiers, you are not limited to a clone situation......you can build anything by thinking outside the box......provided you know what you are doing. A mini-tweedesque Bassman could be created with el-84 tubes or 6V6's so you could really dial it up and lean into it without the big power tube loudness. AS for my work, I hope to have sound clips created soon and posted up for demo's......perhaps on here and elsewhere

[@I.Kamintsev]

did you ever measure the actual power output of a 18watter? imo with ez81 and cathode bias it must be something around 10-12 watts, does it really pull out close to 18? thanks for sharing your experience btw)

[@sampacker6547]

I find it hard to believe that this amp is too quiet. A 10 watt amp is only half as loud as a 100 watt amp. So unless you are cranking your 100 watt amps, this amp is probably still crazy loud. Edit: According to one internet user, they measured the decibels from this amp between 110 and 115 db for most their playing. Decide for yourself if that is loud.

[@tobyrutter3776]

True people always think higher wattage means louder. I bought a 5watt fender because I want a small amount of headroom before the tubes compress. The only difference between my 5 and my 15watt amp is the 5 breaks up alot earlier. The 15 watt may be a tad loud but not much

[@rottalmusik6563]

Moset 100 watt Marshall players don't need them for more volume, they need the 100 watts for more clean headroom and with that more clarity when its cranked. I think!

[@tobyrutter3776]

@@rottalmusik6563 that's right more watt means the more clean headroom before the amp breaks up. Ultimately you will get more volume as it will only get saturated when you really dime them. That's the beauty of tube amps you can pick the right amp based on wattage. I wouldn't personally go more than 15 for home use but for a pedal platform to gig 15 isn't clean long enough to get over drums

[@_-_Michael_-_]

[@amieffects5754]

A lot of the output volume also has to do with speaker efficiency. Isn't it like you gain 3dB every time you double the power? So it's more 25W is half as loud as 100W?

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

I've always thought that your tone and playing is just impeccable! This particular amplifier though, it just seems like it doesn't have enough gas. I played through these hand-wired Marshalls and it's hard to get them to go into that natural harmonic feedback that we all love. The tone is still there for sure but I think that's mostly coming out of your hands dude!

[@paddy5059]

anybody else find themselves coming back time and time again for that amazing intro song? please make this a song Matt

[@cgavin1]

Old video is old but I picked one of these recently in trade and was pleasantly surprised. I find it quite usable tbh. Its old school so you dime the amp and surf your vol and tone controls on the guitar to clean up. I really like the papery dynamic range of the 25w greenback but if you wanted to tighten it up a bit the 65w creamback does the job perfectly. I love these old school amps - its what I grew up using - and not needing a massive pedal board etc. There is no substitute for amp overdrive and I really appreciate the minimalism of these combos. Granted this isn't going to cut like a 100w twin in to two JBL's but I haven't been able to pick mine up for ~5 years now and the last time I tried to gig with it the sound guy beat me with his shoe.

I have the 1973x which is the 2 x 12 version which obviously helps move more air, gives a bit more volume. In a band situ it couldn't cut through the mix even with a 'moderate' drummer until I played it through my 4 x 12, then it started to be heard. As a combo when turning up it didn't particular get any louder it just mushed out/compressed more. It is a toneful amp and best used for recording. In regards to my recommendation my favourite is a JTM45 ( with 4 x 12) running with a bit of break up and use pedals from there. It is a very loud if required, warm, round sound platform great with buckers or singles. Of course not so different to a Bassman and that it why I like those amps over other Fender amps.

Love to see a video on that when you find it, I really enjoy your vibe, playing and sound. Keep the vids coming.

Simply outstanding tones. I don't have this high-end marshall, but I discovered a love for the vintage marshall sound (origin 50) after trying many different amps. Probably could have saved some money starting there, but alas...

You're a master of the only form of country guitar I like. So whatever the type of genre you always play, you're good af.

[@chucklambert7283]

man great job on that firebird. it is beautiful!

[@nicholasmanupella3475]

You sure have some sweet tones there Matt. Both axes sounded sweet but distinct each in their own way. It has that Marshall mid grind but still retains dynamics. Great video Matt. Keep them coming....vintage gear always sounds best to me. Thanks ...peace out.

Sounds fantastic! Wonderful content as always

Hi Matthew, I think that amp sounds really great. I think it would go really nicely with a Super Reverb. The Super Reverb can take care of the low end and highs, while the Marshall fills out the mids. Just an idea. The Marshall also seems to break up even when clean. The highs get a little fuzzy. The Fender would help to add to those amazing cleans. I'm interested to see what that might sound like.

The sound of the Gibson oozed 70's classic rock! What an iconic sound!

Jim Marshall and Leo Fender. Legends! Greatest minds of their era for guitar amplification.

Great timing of this video. I am building up my Marshall rig -- Marshall DSL 40C Combo -- Marshall BB2 bluesbreaker pedal - Dunlop mini wah pedal. Will get a gate soon Play with 2004 Gibson SC/SG faded and 2019 PRS SE Custom 24.. Love that you tried Marshall. I am discovering Fender tones with my Positive Grid Spark 40

[@sameerchaudhary465]

Hey Matthew, big love for all the videos you make. ❤️ I wanted to ask you your opinion if Marshall Mg4 gold series 15w is a good budget amp for the blues tone i like that makes me wanna pick up the guitar and practice - Peter Green's John Mayall sound, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Buddy Guy, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore etc. (I'm getting my first amp, got the guitar) TIA ✌️🙂

Love your videos, keep up the good work

[@guitarifuldexter6366]

This is so good! Is the intro jam a song please? Merry Christmas man!🤘🎸🎅

[@williamadams3544]

Congratulations!! Best? Both guitars sound fantastic. I play a strat mostly, so just being a different sound (firebird) was sweetness to my ears. Sweet marshall amp. The slide sounded like sweetness. Much success to you.

[@Falcopunchon]

This is the best tone you’ve ever had on this channel in my opinion, nothing like it

[@sweethands4328]

Great sounds as usual!

[@TVSaints]

That sounds perfect! Especially the guitar combo!
