You recently made the comment in another video that a lot of your viewers come here only to hear your intro song/music. I've just watched a couple of other videos about this amp and it has just made me understand your point: yours is the only channel that I don't quickly skip forward through the intro. Testament to your taste, tone, songwriting and chops. I really like hearing your opinion on gear of course - but it's the fact that it is always given within a creative musical context that makes it truly great. Thanks Pete.

Fantastic sounding amp, and great playing/demo as usual. I've found with a lot of amps I've played that have a low power/wattage switch, the lower power setting doesn't really reduce volume much, but reduces headroom, so you get breakup and saturation sooner. But it still will sound loud in the room.

Pete, you consistently present the most useful reviews of amplifiers on the tube. I most appreciate that you play straight into an amp without effects, enough so that one can hear the sounds which can be produced by the amp alone. It's cool that you also use the effects you prefer to achieve your own desired tone, as well, but most reviews by others, just cover up the sound of the amp with effects, and never let the audience hear what an amp can do on it's own. Conversely, when I want to watch a vid of effects, I want to hear them through a clean sounding amp, primarily to find what the effects have to offer, but then it's good to hear them through a variety of amps that might affect how the effects might sound in actual application. I dig your playing, too. From what I have gathered about this amp from a variety of sources, is that the Marshall JTM Studio, uses a solid state rectifier, but the amp is cathode biased, which makes it perform similarly to a tube rectifier. Personally, I don't care for sag which can result with tube rectifiers, but I didn't notice any in your demonstration, so it seems that sag is not present unless the amp is pushed harder than you pushed it, here. This is the last video I need to see, to now decide to buy this amp.

A "Y" cable would enable you to go into both hot inputs instead of a traditional jumper-style cable which parallels the one channel to low gain. Another option is connecting the guitar to the normal channel then running the jumper to the hot of the treble channel so you get the hot input of the treble channel blended with some lower gain normal channel. If you mostly use the treble channel, this is the combination you'd want. But a "Y" cable will give you the hot from both if you'd like.

That’s a good idea. I do that with my Hiwatt. With Marshalls I never jumper the channels. The Y-cable is excellent since you don’t lose the 6 dBs in the low input of ch 1.

Fantastic sounding amp and demo (as always, Pete!). I really like what Marshall is doing with these 20W amps as of late and this is no exception. Back about 15 years ago I had the pleasure of playing a few of the early coffin logo JTM45's that Vic Mason had bought and was selling through the Plexi Palace. To this day those amps were by and far the greatest sounding and playing amps of my life. Funny how Jim, Ken Bran and Dudley Craven did such an incredible job the first time out. Like you said, it's not for everyone, but I think this captured a lot of the spirit of those early JTM45's. Might have to look into one. Thanks Pete!

@@SteveOuimette I noticed the output jacks on the back Marshall seemed to have done exactly what Victor was doing with the Mojave amps, putting multiple output jacks on it rather than those old Marshall impedance selector switches. Did you like the Mojave Plexi-45? Mine has KT-66 output tubes and I plug a "52 Hot Rod"Telecaster into it and it has slightly hotter pickup so I plug into one of the low gain channel jacks and man that thing just sounds heavenly with that Chewy, Tom Petty kind of sound.
@SteveOuimette Жыл бұрын
@@mobydick3895 Yeah, those old selector switches became a real problem when they'd pop out. Almost lost a Plexi head to that one time. It's just smarter to have the jacks. The Plexi-45 was a great amp. I did a round up of various makes of JTM-45's for Premier Guitar back then and really liked the Germino and a few others. They were all just great variations on that flavor. My particular Plexi-45 was a bit stiff, but I think that could have easily been remedied with a bias adjustment or perhaps different tubes. Vic and Craig make solid amps and are wired to ridiculous tolerances. Just works of art inside and out.

An FX loop with a cranked plexi amp is practically useless because the 'drive' comes from pushing both the preamp and the power-amp stages...there's a video somewhere of John Suhr where he explains it...that's whw his amps (SuhrSL67, SL68) have no FX loops. On a plexi that's meant to be 'dimed' it has no real puprose. Would have been nice to hear it clean with wet fx though...
