Recreating Malcolm Young's 1971 Marshall Super Bass - PART 2

[@lordgraga]

0:48 Wrong order in case anyone gets confused.

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Good catch.

[@Murphy_R9]

Listen to that KERAANG! Jason you are truly gifted at amps!🤘

[@Skoora]

That’s the sound right there. I actually did the Malcolm parts in a tribute in the very late 90’s. Used a duojet into a ‘78 2203. So much fun. You could really tell how big it sounded when we all were playing together in the bars. Big and dynamic.

[@notasilicaanimus]

Let's get it up is such a great song.

[@mookytc]

Glorious tones indeed! Fine work Jason!

[@paullaughton6016]

Thanks for sharing, the Amp now sounds fantastic. Go Jason!

[@lordgraga]

Really nice to see the amps out in the wild - especially nice with a major act!

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

That's a massive difference. Vastly improved.

[@lyricbread]

That’s the sound of rock ‘n’ roll right there!

[@Billywagner22]

That's the sound!!!!

[@Murphy_R9]

Yeah he NAILED IT!👍

[@adiohead]

So cool! I'm a huge Darkness fan as well as AC/DC.

Dan is such a great person.A very humble guy

[@dancrowe7860]

Sounds killer! Hope you're doing well. Missed your weekly live streams! Funny how it sounds tighter with the mods, but not nearly as dry as the stock amp.

[@1176hambone]

That's it. its got the smack and the Overdrive sustains

[@calebpritchard4944]

Glorius!!

[@murrayguitarpickups9545]

Nice work Jason

@murrayguitarpickups, You sir make some seriously great PAF pickups! I heard them demo'ed on the Doug and Pat show!

@@Murphy_R9 thankyou, its a passion, certainly doesn't require the level of knowledge Jason has for these amps

Awesome!!!! Sounds amazing!!! 🤟🤟🤟

Really interesting to hear the difference between plate loaded and CF loaded tone stack, if I got that right 🙂.

[@HeadfirstAmps]

You got it right!

[@chris_share]

Love it! What a mighty sound! When you do the demos could you tell us the amp settings? Cheers!

[@HeadfirstAmps]

It’s a good question. It’s actually dialled in exactly the same as Mal’s #1 amp (the 1971) in the premier guitar rig rundown. I paused the video and set the amp the same. It’s the way!

[@chris_share]

@@HeadfirstAmps Do you have a link to that video?

Why did Marshall do the Baxendall? Thanks

[@jamieknievel]

I have a 1984 year, model 1992, Will this work on mine?

[@joefarmer7727]

Great sound. You don't explain in detail what you changed at V2. The 2nd halve of the tube now is doing something I guess. Is this the cathode follower mod? So you changed the tonestack and at V2 it's now a cathode follower right. How did you set this up I am not an expert yet. Thanks

[@DanTheDiggler]

Awsome. What speakers is used here? Cheers

[@AngusClarkGTR]

F@cking brilliant that is!

[@malcolmyoungacdc]

Wow, I am genuinely taken aback at how good that sounds with the work you've done. And to make it flirt with Malcolm's sound with a Les Paul has got me spinning. Since watching this I've been having dreams of plugging my White Falcon into that beast. I am a living room warrior, would a super bass be too loud do you think? One is for sale in Poland $5,400 plus freight $650 plus GST $540 plus a trip to the Amp Technician say $500 - worth it you reckon? Fantastic video btw.

[@HeadfirstAmps]

They are incredibly loud, you’ll need a load and tramp device like a powerstation or similar.

[@malcolmyoungacdc]

@@HeadfirstAmps cheers for the reply 🤘what do you think about the cost?

[@voxpathfinder15r]

So how do label this era amplifier? Is it considered handwired since in reality all the components and wires were installed by hand - despite the fact it has a pcb? Hybrid pcb hand wired?

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Honestly I think the term hand wired is misused, but it’s become part of guitar vocabulary so we’re stuck with it. But yeah, it’s hand wired because it was stuffed, soldered and wired by hand, not machine.

[@geoffreyhatchman7915]

Hi , I am getting a marshall superbass , when you are playing and demoing the amp , what marshall cab are you playing and what is your total setup to get that great mal sound. TIA

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Marshall 4x12 with old greenbacks with a 57 on it. Amp dialled in exactly the same as shown in the AC/DC right rundown video (Mals ‘71 super bass).

[@geoffreyhatchman7915]

@HeadfirstAmplification thanks, what i have coming is a marshall jmp 1972 super bass with a 1960A 4x12 check grill cab with celestion speakers would this go OK for a malcolm sound

[@geoffreyhatchman7915]

Where are you based

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Hell yeah 🤘

[@208414]

When someone says a tone sounds muscular this is exactly the type of sound I think of.

[@HeadfirstAmps]

Agree!

[@jamieknievel]

Are you using an attenuator?

[@jamieknievel]

Is this modded to a 50watt or the full 100watt Also this is turn up not master volume

[@MojoMedicineMan]

🎉

[@MojoMedicineMan]

👍⚡👍

[@markn4526]

I much prefer the post-mod sound. To me it has more growl and warmth. Pre-mod was "lacking" something. There are a lot of comments to Part 1 preferring pre-mod though!

[@94xjrgodown2]

Trust me it didnt sound anywhere to what it does now!! Cheers!

[@markn4526]

@@94xjrgodown2 No need to convince me!

[@Gearhorder]

Wow I think Ratt riff stole that riff you were playing there around 5 mins 20 in

That’s Sin City

[@preciousmetals7114]

I like the stock plate better ....
