- I have always wanted a vintage Marshall amp. Finally, I had the chance to buy this re-issue JTM45 - the first type of Amp that Marshall released.
It does a very specific job, and sounds great - but is it right for you?
Just went to #1 on my wish list with a friggin' bullet! I've been a Marshall DSL 20 user for years and my biggest complaint is the lack of clean headroom...I say 'clean' but what I really mean is that incredible edge of breakup tone you can only get from great Marshall's. That JTM45 has it in spades, no wonder it became a legend. THAT is the sound of late 60's and 70's hard rock right there. Love it.
I built a Metroamps clone some years ago and the neighbors loved it!
hey brother..why don't you turn all those dials all to 10 AND FULFlLL YOUR DESTINYYYYYY !!!!!! \m/
There are lots of great sounds to be had from the other inputs. The low input on the high table gives great edge of breakup, sounds heavenly with a strat. Don’t write off the normal channels either. Reducing the bass as you push the volumes is usually best to avoid the “flubby” sound, lower volumes you need some bass to compensate for the bright capacitor. Also one thing I was taught years ago is to always use a longer guitar cable with none master volume amps... the logic is that they are loud and you aren’t supposed to be standing near them, so at least a 15 foot cable ( I always use 18 foot). The bright cap was added to compensate for the long cable length. Some people remove ( or cut) the bright cap but no need with a longer cable. Have fun. 😎😎😎
Thanks for the tips. Loving this amp - especially with my Strat! 🤘🏽
@@JamesOnGuitar one more tip. There is a bleedthrough of signal on the inputs... it's how it was made. The great part of this is that the volume control you are not plugged into still affects the one you are plugged into. So if you are plugged into the bright channel turning up the normal volume adds some extra depth to the sound.... and vice versa.
Wierd but part of the JTM45 charm.
Amazing, thanks! Will keep testing 👍🏼
Never thought of using the capacitance of a long cable to my advantage. This is a sound idea, logically, and solves two problems for pretty much no money.
@@adamnesbitt11 a long cable is part of my sound now. Too bright and brash with shorter cables to my ears
cool video....you can hear the clarity & hair of tone.....I just ordered my jtm45 mkii yesterday, can't wait to get mine! I also am in love with my SV20H......
man I just love that we can enjoin the full potential of these beasts with loadboxes like that one without going deaf ;)
Yeah, honestly some of the most useful gear that I have!
I play this amp, as it’s something that just is in our rehearsal room. The tones here are not the best you can get from this amp. Maybe because an OX simulation of Alnico Blue is not the best match for this amp. Try a 4x12 cab sim loaded with Greenbacks. 😄
It’s the player not the gear.
Also the player is trash
One of the best reviews I've seen yet on this amp
Next time please demo the amp without the OX box or cab sim. I would like to hear what the amp sounds like natural, and see if the you can hit the sweet spot at small club volume levels. Thanks!
I didn’t have an actual cabinet then, but I do now, maybe I’ll do another part 🤟🏼
Yes. I believe that it is.
Sounds killer! Your playing is great aswell!
Ah thanks!
These look really good 😀
Great video! Thanks for sharing. If you read up about jtm45 most people dial the Bass down to zero or very close to zero (2 max). It will fix the muddyness... I don't think I ever went past 3 on mine. It is a great amp with both the Les Paul and the Strat... the Strat clean tone through this thing is something to die for. Also you only briefly touched on how it cleans up with the volume knobs but that's one of it's greatest feature.
Hey thanks for the tip! Funnily enough my next video, which i will film perhaps today, is based around this amp so this info is great 👍🏼 cheers
I dial in more bass, less mids and less treble and then I am in tone heaven with my JTM45.
Cheers James 👍
This was a time & place to crank it if this was to show what all the amp can do. I mean I get it that it's loud but I was curious. Not to be rude though as I'm sure I could find a different video to listen to for that. Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for the video with what a lovely guitar and effective amplifier demo.
The JTM 45 seems a very practical amplifier considering it’s output and flexibility with more ability to reach overdrive or with additional pedals.
I have a 1972 JMP 50 and it very very loud and difficult to set up as a live piece of equipment for me.
I’m always playing around with the channel jumping and I think I prefer the bright channel alone.
I also have a JCM TSL (super lead), a model that has received criticism in the past.
However it really captures many of the revered classic or chronological Marshall tones in one box.
It is also very easy find a particular sound without the need for pedals or boost.
Through my reasonable amount of experience I don’t think there are many poor premium Marshall designs out there including solid state.
But 30 watts as I think demonstrated here is for me maybe ideal.
Best wishes
How is the clean headroom on this versus the Two Rocks? Can this get loud and stay kinda spanky clean to use pedals for all of the gain? My Two Rock has too much lower mids that can’t be dialed out and doesn’t fit in the mix with a big party band covering several styles.
Hi how can I enjoy the Marshall JTM45
At home I am at a crossroads whether to sell it and buy a small amplifier or is there a possibility to save our friendship and keep it thanks
Hi. Whats the year of your amp? Thanks
So this amp is likely not appropriate for home use, at least not without an attenuator then.
