    What is sad about Marshall is ever since they sold the company they have went cheap by putting in cheap transformers from Vietnam. There is a video about it. This is what happens to a good brand when it is sold to another company that is going to cut corners.

      Reverend Gibbons also uses like three identical overdrive pedals cascaded into a JMP-1 Pre Amp before it even hits the Magnatone. Pretty sure he is just using Power Amp on the Magnatone. You don’t get his huge sound from just the Super 59 M-80 which I do want and is basically a modded Marshall built with a quality worthy of the cost of that particular Amp. This Slash Amp is just priced stupidly…

Does the Triple X have the biasing switch in the back that lets you install your choice of EL34's or 6L6's?

    Well I picked up mine today from Magntone shop. IMHO it’s freakishly amazing sounding amp. This amp doesn't sound / feel like Silver Jubilee. It has thick open voice and maintains clarity under relatively high gain. Has one of the best string to string separation I ever heard in guitar amp. I spoke with Rod and he confirmed that starting point was Magnatone M80. I don’t know M80 topology but it’s different from very compressed Jubilee sound . I didn’t buy it cuz of the Slash. I love Slash playing but I pulled the trigger cuz few friends tried at NAMM and absolutely loved it. Cab looks amazing in person. It’s tuned very nicely and handles V30s like a champ. I wasn’t sure about cab cuz I generally prefer 2x12s with greenbacks. After trying it in person I happy I decided to get the cab. It does sound amazing . Interestingly , it seems like it is almost identical twin sibling ofFriedman 4x12 cab. Obviously it has nicer finish with that anaconda snake but it’s literally same shape and angle as Friedman. As of today , my top 3 favorite amps are 1972 super lead, Bogner JB45 , Mezzabarba M Zero Overdrive. Excited to play it extensively next couple days, Will see if it will get on top of my list.

    Magnatone is actually a boutique amplifier company, if you look at their product line all of their amps are VERY expensive with just minimum features, similar to Two Rock which makes mainly clean amps at outrageous prices. Fuchs is another amp company with very high prices with limited features on their amps. What you are paying for with these companies is craftsmanship as opposed to features.

  • @Sams911
    @Sams911 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    What is unknown by many, is the amazing clean tone that certain Magnatone amps can do... such as the M80, Super 59... The clean tone is like nothing I've heard.. linear tube sound! So yeah, the $4600 for this isn't as justified as a $3099 for the Super 59... I think this is so they can give $1000/copy to Slash for the endorsement... This isn't unique to this brand.

  • @Jarrett-Hopper
    @Jarrett-Hopper ปีที่แล้ว +3

    So for a gigging or non-gigging musician that just wants the tones, I totally agree with you that there are cheaper options. There are people though that like to buy/build rigs based on their heroes for fun. Yes it’s costly, yes you can get the tones cheaper. If it makes someone feel happy though and they can swing it, I say go for it!
    Also, there is an investment angle to some of this gear and I’m sure Magnatone is banking on that. Great example is the Mike McCready Custom Shop strat. List price was about $13K, now you can’t touch one for under $21K. Masterbuilts are the same way, Vincent Van Trigt and Dale Wilson have 7+ year waitlists for build slots?!?!

Would you want them to use tubes so when you gotta replace them you gotta go to whatever imaginary movie you’re quoting to get. no I can’t afford Slashes amp and who would want it if it’s designed to be his signature sound ….

    @Antonyallen429 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Jarod, so I did some digging after your video and there are some things I feel I can ad to help understand the price. The first is low production, across the board. Private small operation out of St. Louis. Top notch parts and low volume mean all there amps are expensive. Then there are the parts themselves. Yes a EL84 is an EL84, but what is not on my Marshall 2525 is a leather handle made by an high end saddle company. the cheverons on some of there amps are 14k gold plate, for no reason then a premium feel. The CEO has stated that these will all be old school amps that you could find in the 50s and 60s, but way better built, so no midi, 4 channels, graphic eq etc. The amp covers are made of the same material that Bentley uses for there convertable tops on their cars. Finally there is Slash, so add 20%. Question back, are we all barking at the price because its the amp itself, or the Slash association with it making everyone do the side Dog glance? Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and Keri. Looking forward to your Astro review

    Finally, an honest statement about a piece of guitar gear. So tired of every TH-cam guitar gear reviewer lauding everything with praise. If you are a manufacturer of musical instruments, like Magnatone, you have to love guitarists. They would buy a pile of dog crap if they were told they could plug into it and sound exactly like their favorite artist. Guitar gear is the most overhyped consumer product category in existence and sold to some of the most gullible consumers.

    Everything is expensive, can’t believe people will pay 4g for basic part amps like mark 7 , jp2c. There’s other expensive amps like redplate and 3rd power , custom friedmans, fortin , they sell for almost 5 grand and have been for some years now , this slash amp is pretty cheap I might order one because they will triple in price in a few years I don’t doubt it

    This amp is for a specific target audience and I don't believe you and many others fall into that category and that is okay. I will agree that a lot of branding is involved likely driving up the price; however, as a major Slash fan, I heard this amp compared to the Marshall AFD 100 (Slash's signature Marshall Amp) and was blown away by the difference. The Magnatone amp has much more warmth and depth compared to the Marshalls and I was a skeptic on these at first and finally came around this week. If you read up on Slash it's not a cash grab. From his royalties alone he makes well over $300K a month. The guy has a passion for music and amps and wanted to do something different from Marshall. After all, he is good friends with Billy Gibbons who introduced him to these amps. Nonetheless, it is not a cash grab. Brands like Magnatone and Gibson know exactly what they're doing in terms of the focus for their companies. They are not here to be a fan to everyone but more specifically to their clients who understand the brand. It is impossible to make a product and expect everyone to like it. I can say being a massive Slash fan that this amp has been a big hit and the focus on it was executed correctly from an amp design perspective, as well as aiming for Slash fans who are truly focused on his tone.

      No it’s not the most expensive. Two Rock Silver Sterling Signature Head and Cab sells for $8,300 and the TS1 and Bloomfield Drive are both over $7,000. That being said, priced individually Two Rock cabs are top out at $1,400 so this Magnatone cab is seriously overpriced.

    It's a boutique amp. Anything and everything "boutique" is for deep-pocketed people. Boutique gear doesn't have to be radically different than productuon line gear, but there is something that justifies the big bucks some well-off people are willing to pay for them: they're handbuilt with the greatest sourceable components. You may say you don't care, but it is what it is. To say it is "insulting" for an amp to be expensive is just ludicruous. Just because you can't buy it doesn't mean you should be "offended". That's birdshit. Magnatone isn't putting a pistol on anybody's head to force them to buy what they make. They're not trying to fool anybody either.

    I think the problem with this amp is the fact magnatone is the company making it. Every magnatone amp is pretty expensive. The afd 100 was about 2k when it launched years ago. It makes me wonder if another company could have put out the same product but cheaper.
    I think marshall is also to blame. A lot of this could have been avoided if they would have just made the modded amps evh, slash, and others used apart of their standard line up.
