Thanks for demoing this with the different guitars and pickup combinations. The most in-depth review I've found for the how this amp really sounds! Great video!
Fantastic demo! I just subscribed. These are great tones. Thank you for showing us what it sounds like with guitars most of us are familiar with. That makes a huge difference.
I'm not an old man so I don't know why I keep coming back to this sound. I've got a Victory Sheriff that I've had forever. It's running through a 2x12 creamback cab. Everything is so glassy. You can have it wide open and still get the cleanest sound ever.
Because when "Old Men" were young men, THIS is what they used. This is not a tool for "old men" . . . this is a tool for guitar players that want to sound great and age has nothing to do with it.
So I had the combo for 2 days but sent it back because it was scratched all to crap and didn't even arrive with a power cord to plug it into the wall. That's all the fault of GC employees, btw! The amp itself was outstanding! Mine sounded so sweet and pure down low and got the smoothest, nicest, crunchy goodness when cranked up. It didn't have any of the fubby, muddy sounds some of the demos have. Mine was perfection, and at this point, I wish I had just kept it! The GC manager offered me an extra discount on it if I wanted to keep it, but I was intent on a brand new in the box version, which never happened. That was 3 weeks ago now, and I have tried 4 times in all to get a new Marshall from GC, and it looks like that's just not going to happen for me. Just crazy. Yeah, it's a great sounding amp, and I wish I had just kept the one I had at this point.
I ordered mine from Musician's Friend and my rep said he had four brand new ones at one of the stores (Guitar Center). It arrived in a mangled outer box with some random styrofoam stuffed around it. No plastic around the amp, chord unwound and thrown in the corner, and with scratches on the handles and dirty rubber feet. I called Musicians Friend and they knocked $250 off the price. Def not trusting GC for anything at this point, but props to my Musician's Friend rep for knocking the dough off. I'll live with a few scratches and dirty rubber feet; just won't pay NEW prices for it!
@horrorview yeah, GC offered me $150 off the price, which I thought wasn't enough for the condition it was in. If I had gotten $250 off, I would still have that amp right now. But they didn't, and they just ended up selling it to someone else who probably did get a better discount than me? It's June now, and I still don't have an amp and am still waiting for my return to go through to the bank because GC never sent it to them! They were still trying to charge me for an amp I never received, and the gc employee who I spoke to told me it wasn't his problem, and why was I bothering him about it? When I told him, because it was your store that caused the problem I'm having. He said that they would never do that, and I didn't know what I was talking about. I told him I was personally coming to the store, and him, myself, and whoever else needs to be there are sitting down, and we're going to figure out just what the hell is going on here, and I'll see him in a couple of hours when I get off work. He called back about 5 minutes later apologizing all over himself because now that he was going to have to face me man to man and talk shit to my face, he decided to actually do his job and look at my account. He realized I was right, and he's the one who didn't know what he was talking about and blah, blah. Sorry for the rant, but I'm so disgusted with gc that I think I'm just done with them at this point. When I complained to the corporate, which, they didn't even have a complaint department, they couldn't care less. It's just another day at gc at this point, apparently.
@@robbyclark6915 Well when they DO get the refund through, Sweetwater and Musicians's friend have them in stock right now, so you should be able to grab one!
We probably wouldn't recommend playing an acoustic through one of these as it may sound a bit distorted. However, if it produced a tone that you enjoy then there's no harm in that :)

Gibson have been putting Alnico 3 custombuckers in their Reissue guitar since 2013 and they were originally created in 2004 for the Jimmy Page replica guitars. They started using them in other custom shop models in 2011 and by 2013 they were the standard stock custom shop pickup so this hardly a new thing they are trying out since they are a 20 year old design based on a design from the 50s . A3 Mags have been around since they ealry 50s and Gibson used them in P90s and PAFs along with other AlNiCO grades . Not a new thing at all and I think Gibson is passed the trying it out phase since they have been using them as their custom shop stapple for 10 years. I think they trying it out phase is over and was deemed a success.
Unfortunately, it's just an aesthetic tug at the older player's purse strings. Inside, it bears no resemblance at all to the JTM45. No rectifier, a cheapo PCB with valve bases directly soldered and tiny tiny mains transformer. It's a sneaky cash grab. I have no idea where the actual PCB comes from or whether Marshall even populate it in the UK but if you look at Tony Mackenzie's review, he shows you the actual chassis and PCB. It's a cheap modern PCB without the valve bases even being mounted directly to the chassis so expect failure within 5 years.
Tony described that all the things he discovered were pros for the amp not cons. They avoid overheating by not being mounted directly to the board and have a high amount of quality control unlike Friedmans which he has reviewed. I have played one in person and it is an incredible amp.
Like all the other 20 watters Marshall put out, sounds weak. Wicked muddy lows and no depth to the mids. Small OT and the cheap parts inside make this nice looking but over priced. Tried the SC20 and sent it back inside of 3 days it was so bad.
Nice to see a demonstrator showing the amplifier’s capabilities rather than how fast they can shred. Thanks for that.
The andertons demo was really good .
Thanks for the support guys! Enjoy! 🎸
Thanks for building such an awesome amp!
Y’all way overpriced these !! Thanks Marshal
Thanks for demoing this with the different guitars and pickup combinations. The most in-depth review I've found for the how this amp really sounds! Great video!
Good demo, worth pointing out that there is a high and low input for each channel, so you have a choice of patching high to high, or high to low.
Fantastic demo! I just subscribed. These are great tones. Thank you for showing us what it sounds like with guitars most of us are familiar with. That makes a huge difference.
Thanks!!
great tones, thank you
Best demo of this amp anywhere. Love mine :)

Very nice review. Love how you use different guitars to showcase the amps in range.
Damn you Marshall!! I just paid off my Vintage Plexi Studio.
I want this amp so bad!
Nice strat tones 👌🤟
I own the combo and I love it I run my reverb thru the e loop I get some great clean and a nice break up I use a sg modern and a fender thinline strat
can you get breakup at low volume
@ yes on the 5 watt setting on can I have a fulltone ocd pedal too I use to help do that as well
sounds so damn good!
That telecaster ❤
What type of cables are required to patch the channels ? Cheers for the great demo .
Just a normal patch cable :)
the clean is stunning, but can you have this nice edge of breakup at full band level with a loud drummer ?
Essentially what’s the difference with the two different cab options?
my mate has had to send 2 of the combos back as they had really really bad cabinet rattle making the thing completely unplayable.
I’m sold
Does it use a valve rectifier, a GZ-34/5ar4 ? Thanks.
Utilizes a solid state rectifier

Any insight how these amps fair with an electric acoustic guitar , like a Taylor ?
We probably wouldn't recommend playing an acoustic through one of these as it may sound a bit distorted. However, if it produced a tone that you enjoy then there's no harm in that :)
Thanks for not using the loop!. When I look at a demo I want all features demoed!!!
I've got one. Way too loud for home levels
have you found anything for home use?
Personally prefer the SV20
Another great amp from Marshall!

Shoutout to Tony MacKenzie for actually showing what the inside of an amp looks like.
Tony described that all the things he discovered were pros for the amp not cons. They avoid overheating by not being mounted directly to the board and have a high amount of quality control unlike Friedmans which he has reviewed. I have played one in person and it is an incredible amp.
Marshall manufacture their boards in-house. This can be seen in action in Mimi Sound's latest Marshall tour.
But no reverb
Correct! Though Marshall have included a pretty decent effects loop for those sorts of effects if you need them.
Thank goodness. Just like no one would want Bluetooth in their '57 Chevy.
marshalls dont do reverb
You didn't turn it up.. More of a guitar showcase than amp demo I'm afraid.
No choke no fun…such shame
Like all the other 20 watters Marshall put out, sounds weak. Wicked muddy lows and no depth to the mids. Small OT and the cheap parts inside make this nice looking but over priced. Tried the SC20 and sent it back inside of 3 days it was so bad.
