I'm an older man. In my time Marshall was the king with no real competition. Now everything is anything but tubes. Tubes are and will always be the best. I'm a condo dweller, so how can I get my tube driven Marshall on. They have the answer. I love a good Gibson L.P. running straight in a tube driven head. They came out with a 1watt dsl Marshall tube head and combo. And you can hit a button and it brings it to a quarter watt. Unbelievable. I can jam in my condo with a red hot tube Marshall. Cranked in the sweet spot without bothering my niebors. It sounds unreal. Marshall has there shit together. And for that matter so does Gibson. I use a Tribute made in the USA Les Paul for 1299.00. Yes that's still a little bit of coin, but it not crazy. It's the real deal. And the 1 watt Marshall sound thru that lp. All I need or ever want. Thank you, Gibson and Marshall. The definition of rock and roll !

I’ve owned a ton of tube amps and digital systems in the 43 years I’ve been playing, and with the exception of the Kemper, which was a game changer digitally, tube amps is where it’s at. I actually love the 1987x (model not year) 50 watt plexi. That was Jimmy Page’s “The Song Remains the Same” tone - breaks up sooner, has a sweeter tone. I’m really impressed with the UK made 20 watt versions.

Congrats on this and have fun with it! However, the immediate future is smaller versions that can be used in clubs, smaller venues and even small halls where everything is mic'd and nobody wants a loud stage. That's modern reality, even with 20W "lunch box" amps. Plus, the size and weight, which you so quickly pointed out! If UA or someone would make a small version of that load box that could more easily "gigged", that would help as well. Heck, I can barely get my 20W Friedman WW 20 over 3-4 on the Master when playing live as it is! LOVE the big Marshall sound though, oh for those 70's when we used 100W stacks! :+)

The last amp I bought is a Marshall JVM 210H. I love the tone, the flexibility, the power. I really appreciate that they got the volume control tamed. My old JCM 900 goes from whisper quiet to full on destruction in just the tiniest movement of the volume knob. The JVM is controllable and sensible. What I absolutely HATE about the JVM is the stupid swishy and sometimes sputtering noise that make us almost useless for gigging. Running two noise gates, one before the input and one in the effects loop kinda helps but sometimes it still gets through though it’s subtle. Such a shame.

Marshall needs their own Tone Master-style amps while avoiding the mistake of the Tone Master Pro (an overpriced worse version of a Helix or Fractal [sorry, not sorry]) that kind of missed the point completely. I mean I actually think most people for a grand or so would be more than happy to have a solid state JCM, Super Lead, JTM, or Jubilee head or combo with the tone master features (Attenuator - XLR out).

Awesome video Robert. Thanks. It is very interesting about these Marshall 1959HW, I’ve read a few negative comments about the production of these , now that marshall was sold and that the PT and OT are made in Vietnam, (MAV) and no longer made by Dagnall in Malta. Yet every comment on videos for this amp have nothing but positive reviews and that the amp sounds great!!!! I built amps (for myself), and have a plexi based amp using NOS parts , hand wired with custom PT , OT and choke. And I still placed an order on one of these as the price now is ridiculously low considering that they were closed to 4k. Worst case scenario could be that my own built amp sounds more to my liking or style with a 30d return policy is no brainer. Thanks for the video

A new amp isn't the only option. There is some controversy about what kind of transformers Marshall has been using of late. I saw one video where an amp tech found a crap tranny in a new Marshall.

They’ve been doing plexi reissues since 1993. They’re not what will save Marshall. Making amps that you can get for a little under $1500 that have great tones and features is what will save Marshall amps. In the last 20 years they’ve only made two amps that I think excelled for their price point. The Origin series and the DsL40c combo (the 2nd to last gen). Really wish they had offered the 40 as a head. Through a 4x12 it’s a killer, hotter 800. The JVM’s are too stiff and sizzly for decent old school sounds and got to ridiculous prices. Most of their sub $1500 amps pale horribly to what the competition offers. Marshall used to be the working man’s amp, grip it and rip it. Affordable and great tone. The great tone kind of ended once the JCM900’s came around but the reissues we now know, also started then. Even with the recent price drop (which may not last), they’re still out of reach for most working musicians new. Marshall doesn’t really care because amp sales account for about 5% of their revenue. I grew up where 50-100 watt Marshall’s were standard and having them at volume in a room was common. Plus they were usually bulletproof. So that is perma-stamped on my brain for what Marshall is. What young players need or want today, with the death of bands in the same room and volume requirements, makes what Marshall needs to do a mystery for me. Maybe it’s a an official Sim pack but it would need to be exceptional. Even though I use a Power Station now I would dig an updated solution from Marshall. Used their Power brake for over 25 years and it was great. Still have it.

The markup on the Marshall prices in the US has really tarnished the brand for me. In the UK they are known for bang-for-the -buck. Those studio models are sub-$1000 if you convert pounds to dollars. Then you come over here in the US, and they were over $2000. Its like buying from a scalper, and this covid-era of Scalpers ruining every hobby I enjoy kept me from paying that mark up. During this time, it allowed American boutique builders like Friedman to undercut, or Suhr to provide SO MUCH MORE for the same price. Now the ST20H is $200 less than a Friedman Little Sister... but I'm kinda soured on the whole deal. I spent the last 10 years pushing Marshall out of mind due to their markup, should I really push aside the other guys now that Marshall has come to their senses?

It’s great. But certainly comes with a price. Both financially and recording. Having a power soak, cabinet and proper mic arrangement still plays a dramatic role in the final product. Then comes preamps, phasing, keeping the tube amp in proper condition, etc etc. and finally, having all this does not automatically equate to a great sound on record. There is certainly a feel to the tube amp. The load it places on the guitar pickups. latency (perceived or actual). Those nuances count for a player. However, at the end of the day, modeling has gotten so good that in final mix it is very difficult to discern a model from the real thing. And modeling is only getting better and better over time. I think amp makers in general face a serious financial future. Years ago if you wanted “that sound” of Marshall, Mesa, etc you had no option to really get it; unless you paid. Today, you can get so, so close to whatever amp sound you want for pennies on the dollar. And, have 30 of them all dialed in and sitting there, one patch select away. And immediately ready to record.

@VintageRadius 4 ай бұрын

I really like your channel man, but I’m not sure I get what Marshall is doing so great or what will “save” them as far as growth of their amp business. Kills me a little because I love Marshall. On prices, I believe Marshall has some sort of new distribution agreement that is allowing their amps to be more price competitive in the U.S. That’s a win for them. But in the product development department IMO they are sitting on their hands and letting other brands like Friedman and Suhr deliver what modern players want Marshall to be putting out. For instance they could have a modern line that includes some of their famously “modded” circuits and add stuff like onboard attenuation - or develop entirely new amps. Unfortunately I think they are more focused on their lifestyle products

I was trying to buy an EVH Frankenstein Demo for $1750 and they told me a promoter was interested in it and would let me know if it didn’t sell but of course it sold and I never heard from my account manager, I had to call two days later to find out. I am just not that impressed with their customer service and unfortunately most small local dealers have closed in OKC, OK and all that is really left is GC which are not customer friendly. I don’t mind buying online since I am a guitar tech, for over 30 years, so I can do my own setups etc and I can spot if there is a flaw with the guitar immediately which is why I was willing to buy from Sweetwater but they did me wrong twice, hence, I didn’t use my Sweetwater Card for a year so Synchrony Bank closed my card for inactivity.

Couple that with bedroom hobbyists making up the majority of the market, and the price drop to $1299, they're a bargain comparatively and sound the same as the big ones. A handwired studio series is all they need to get the vintage guys interested. Knock the DSL down ~$125 across the line and BAM, they've got the new players looking for their first good amp. They're definitely in position to either make a comeback or go full Gibson in the next couple years, I really hope it's the former.

I'm considering going WAY off the regular path. During my current build, I discovered the NuX Mighty Plug Pro, and being blown away by its versatility, have decided to install one inside my build. I'll have to send a balanced stereo out or just keep an eye on the volume, or I could just install the out of my Crybaby into the in of the Nux. Hmm. I wonder if I can get/make/use a two way split cable and have an effects loop on the guitar instead of a regular out.

I've had a couple of Marshall's. They were expensive and heavy and never really did what I wanted. They were very unreliable and I blew them both. You really couldn't give me one. I now use a Rivera for high gain and a Fender for cleaner tones. Both do what I want and I've had zero problems, just routine maintenance and a pot required replacement in the Rivera. I live in the UK so getting a Rivera isn't all that easy over here. But the amp sounds so good and it's so reliable it was worth the effort to get one. Line level control, switching functions in the loop, push pulls on EQ, loads of headroom, just fantastic. There are companies like Budda that make better Marshall's than Marshall and if that's what you want, look around. Marshall's seam so bloody outdated, they're like museum pieces and lack practical modern features. So nope, not a brand that I'd even vaguely consider.

What will save Marshall is the one thing they will and can never do: reduce their prices. There's no reason for a Plexi to cost nearly $4k. There's no reason for that amp to cost more than $1200, at the most. But, in that market space, Marshall has a wide variety of amps to choose from. None really worth a damn. The SV20 and SJ20 are worth a damn. They are killer, in fact. Other than that, Marshall's catalogue of amps under $2000 is rather crappy. So, if they want to stay in business, Marshall really needs to figure our a way to make their tube amps more affordable without sacrificing tone and quality.

The market seems to be favoring small amps, modelers, low watt tube amps etc. The 100 watt half stacks aren’t practical for most players these days, even gigging musicians as venues mic the amp anyways. So many people seem to be looking for classic Marshall sounds but having to go to other companies/brands for more practical lower wattage or modeler options. If Marshall did Fender tone master style solid state as well as some 1 watt tube versions of their JCM 800, jubilee and plexi they would sell like hot cakes. Instead they only offer 20 watt versions which are still too loud for most and bluetooth speakers. Closest I’ve gotten is the Marshall DSL1 which I really like.

It can be in a rack AND pedal format. Younger players aren’t using real amps much anymore and the need to gig with huge 100 watt tube amps is just not a thing right now. Maybe that will come back, but the JMP-1 is one of the best rack preamps ever made and TONS of players are begging for a reissue!! Come on, Marshall!

This could be because of the rumor of them cutting out the middle man that marked up everything $1000 too much.. So now prices are slashed and they're reforming and trying to reboot from the ground up. I don't know. I'm no expert but having those 2 things floating around with 0 confirmation from Marshall... It makes you wonder why such a drastic price drop in Every amp they sell. We want to know about the transformers and how good they really are and if the company has decided to get cheaper parts for the Flagship amps. IF so.. That is just ridiculous.

Marshall needs to start modelling. The modelers are coming, they are now a viable replacement. I would much rather have a Marshall branding on my cabs rather that Alto Profesional. There is plenty room for Marshall to be inovative here as well. I think modelers should be more modular instead of all into one device. Amp / Cab on one device, then your delays, modulation, reverb on another device and then your pre amps and fuzz pedals on another device. Im coming from full blown modelers and I now have the IR-2 that thing is how it should be done. Im running the Line 6 PE in the FX loop. I just wish It was broken down more so I could run the amps as pre amps or the fuzz pedals direct in and then still use the FX loop for other FX. The HX One would be perfect as it allows the FX loop plus direct line in but you can only use one FX at a time LOL. Breaking things down to modular level gets price points down and allows the user to build something custom.
