- I’m playing the Baby Bluesbreaker combo reissue with 8 amazing guitars. Finally I think I did this great amp justice. The guitars are:
1969 Epiphone Olympic
1969 Fender Stratocaster Custom Color Black
1967 Mosrite XII Sunburst
2002 Gibson Les Paul CC Collectors choice Gary Rossington
2021 Gibson SG Standard 1961 CS Custom Shop
202X Fender Jag-Stang
202X Fender Telecaster Chrissie Hynde
20XX Sonnemo Master Relic
I recorded this at Simon Karlsson’s shop Musikbörsen in Gothenburg using an Electrovoice RE10 close mic and a Sennheiser MD21 Room mic through an Apogee Quartet sound interface into a Mac book pro with Cubase 9.5. I use the onboard phaser and cloner on some short sections.

* The Mosrite is likely to be in that year range.
I think the Mosrite could be EQ'd better. I know that would be changing settings, and I'm not suggesting to change settings for a video like this. But as a Mosrite fan, this probably wasn't the best tonal example of them. I play my 1966 Mosrite in a Fender amp, and I have no experience playing it through a Marshall.
And I know that the Mosrite is a 12 string, but if you make another video with it, please try tuning i better if that's possible to do. Maybe the strings were old.
Other personal thoughts:
I never knew that the Epphone Olympic existed, and I like it. I knew of the Epiphone Crestwood and Epiphone Wilshire, but not the Epiphone Olympic.
The Jag-Stang sounded bad to me. The Stratocaster, Telecaster, and Sonnemo sounded good to me.
The Gibsons were also good, although they're not normally what I go after.
That Epiphone was great, but the Strat takes the first place, sublime!
Incredible dynamic playing by Johan as always. Enjoying the cool riffs.
Thanks, really good to hear that!
Damn! The exact words I was about to write. Well, then I don't have to. Thanks man!
That SG is gorgeous, my dad has a 68 large guard a lot like yours. He’s had it since he was 10 and he’s gonna give it to me soon. The Cherry finish has darkened over time to reveal some really beautiful figuring in the mahogany.
Hi, Johan!
Don't know, how it feels to play this Epiphone, but I love this Marshall!! See you!
S.
Hi Siegfried! The Epi plays really well. Wonderful guitar. See you my friend
I liked each and every one guitar of this video but I LOVED the Chrissie Hynde Tele. Great vid as always!!
You were definitely connecting well between you the guitar and the amp. Really good touch to your playing. The Epiphone sounded good which surprised me the most as I used to own one back in 1974 and I didn't like the sound of it. Overall, the amp sounded good, but I Liked the "Dirty Shirley" better.
Thanks Robert!
Now I know why I can never bring myself to sell my Cornell 18/20…amazing video
Thanks!
The Epiphone was the surprise of the group for me. Great tones. The Strat and the SG were the other standouts with this amp.
Thanks! My favs too
And now the prices on reverb start their climb into the unattainable!
@@JohanSegeborn That must be one of the very last Kalamazoo-made Epiphones, it was in '69 that Norlin outsourced Epi production to Matsumoku
the strat sounds huge
Because I am king of my own fiefdom, I , King Gr8fuldodd, do hereby dub thee Sir Johan Segeborn, may your courage and devotion become a shining example to the people of my empire. That sounds absolutely killer.
Thanks! 😉
enjoyed the black strat sound.
that 1969 epiphone sounds amazing through that amp , best of the bunch , how does this amp compare tone wise to the crate amp you demoed a month ago ?
Thanks, this one is brighter and punchier
Gietoors allwright😄 thanks johan
Hi Johan. Always great vids from you. I keep wondering what is your audio rig for the headset? Which mics do you use with which mixer and headset? And how loud do you usually keep your amp during playing with headset?
Would like to try to maintain family peace…😂
Sounds like RAWK! \m/ IS this an original 1974 or a RI?
I bought the Blackstar Artisan 15 thinking it would be a bit like one of these, how do you think it compares?
my two favorites were the SG and the Jagstang (even though the Jagstang is an ugly guitar)... I guess I like short scaled with humbucker guitars!
also, you could do a full demo video from a 12 stringer with the 18w... there's a few 12 stringer videos with marshalls, and at least 2 of them are yours (from a Rick and a Gretsch into full stacks, but none into the small 18w... would be cool into a 5e3 too)
I had to stop listening half way through this vid to go and play my own 1974X!
I have a JCM800 mini, a deluxe reverb, a Freedman PT20 and an Egnator Rebel 20 and I only play my 1974X because it's just so much better than all the others.
Brilliant post - thanks.
Thanks, really good to hear that!
That 1969 Epiphone Olympic sounds amazing !!!
I was about to say that as the video started!
That SG sounded fantastic. Not to mention that old Strat as well. Great playing as always 👍.
Thanks, glad to hear that!
So many good sounds Johan! In an era dominated by huge pedalboards to create the tones it' so refreshing and satisfying getting all this palette of sounds just plugging the proper electric guitar into an amp! Cheers!
Thanks Vincenzo, Cheers!
I think the SG sounded the sweetest. But holy hell the Jagstang for sure looked the coolest. The Epiphone surprised me in terms of sound, fuller than I expected. Great video!
I love that amp. Such a great edge of breakup sound.
Great to hear so many cool guitars. Did you change any Amp settings (Bass, Mid, Treble, etc.) when playing the different guitars?
The Epiphone sounded so much better than expected !!, and even the Tele was Fatter than expected.60 str was my favorite.
Have you done a Demo comparing the celestion greenback g10 vs g12 speakers? Thanks!
The Epiphone sounded surprisingly good. But for me, hands down, the Chrissie Hynde Tele is where I live. Great one Johan. I had an original Bluesbreaker. The band said get rid of it. It was harsh & Too Loud.
Thanks buddy!
The Marshall 18-watt is historic, the ultimate example of untamed tube power. After a lot of research, I ended up buying a Sound City Studio 20 because it’s often compared to the 18-watt. I’ve got a video on my channel if you’re interested in hearing it! The cleans are solid, but the overdrive really stands out. I'd appreciate your feedback!
I was going to build an 18w 1974, but I decided to sell my 2x12 Marshall bluesbreaker combo cabinet and rehouse my JTM45 in a Mojotone 1974 cabinet. I put in a Scumback M75 and it now is my more portable JTM45 mini blues breaker. I still want to build one of these one day. Great demo as usual.
1. 1969 Strat
2. 202X Chrissie Hynde Tele
3. 1969 Epiphone Olympic
4. Jag-Stang (out of phase I’m assuming?)
Yeah it was. Cool piano like tone
@@JohanSegeborn it’s too bad they don’t put actual JB’s in them anymore 😞 but it still sounds good!
Oh man, that ‘69 Strat just sounds epic with the 1974x. The low end is punchy and voiced in just the right spot. Fantastic.
I was just listening in the background... and everytime, I said to myself... damn what guitar is that... and flipped back to the viedo... it was the 60th anniversary SG/LP
Yes, great dynamics for a relatively short scale guitar
A few years ago this was my 1st Marshall DIY amp trying to get a plexi sound in a small size. After this one I built for me and some friends a JTM45, a JCM800, a 1959MKII, a 2061x etc... Finally, the 1974x and the 2061x still my fabourite Marshall amps for that "small plexi" sound and the style of music I play (blues and classic rock).
By performance only. #1 SG. #2 LP #3 Jagstang.
Just adding to what many have noted--don't know what it is, but there's definitely something going on w/ that '69 Strat here...wow. Thank you Johan!
Sounds like an amp that does everything
MOSRITE FOREVER!!! .. Epiphone double next.
Have both of them..
You could say that this amp does justice to all guitars. Great amplifier and demo. A true classic. It gives up the goods with any guitar. Thanks for the demo Johan.
Cheers from Hawaii!
Thanks man, Cheers from Sweden
The Strat sounded the best to me (which for me is no surprise) - Strats sound phenomenally good with old school Marshall circuits. My favorite pairing is a Strat into a Friedman Dirty Shirley - tones of the Gods.
I like the Epiphone, but nothing sounds like an SG.
i love the sg on that marshall.
Thanks Audrey!
I cant wait. Sweeeeeeeet !!!
In the middle of my room, in the middle of my room...
I have one of these, great amp, very versatile and a surprisingly good pedal platform too. Great to hear it in the hands of the Marshall Master though.
Thanks glad to hear it! :-)
Wonderful amp and tones. My favorite ones are both SG and Les Paul, by the way they sound really different in this test. Great video too!
that strat and that amp sounded killer - wouldnt sound like that if i played it
This amp is a real little Rock Box and it sounds awesome. The only problem with the Marshall 1974X is that as the volume increases, it sounds better and better, and when it is at max 10, it sounds the best and then everything is in its place and as it should be. You don't need to go to 11 at that moment, because 10 sounds great. The only problem is that then everything is so loud that the drummer can hardly be heard. Did I mention that the tremolo on the Marshall 1974X is the best tremolo I've ever heard and in itself may be worth the price of the amp, thoughts on the Twin Peaks theme. And finally, the Marshall 1974X sounds best with that G12M 20W Greenback speaker. Thanks for another great video, Mr. Segeborn.
These sounds are great Johann as usual. Big fan of yours as a tone freak. Can you do a video on vintage and current reissue SGs ?
pa como suena eso boludo
Loved the black Strat
Thanks John!
Sonic Nirvana Johan.
There are reasons why LP and Strat are probably the best known guitars, they both got very nice inherent qualities and works well with most amps. However, in this video I think the SG stood above the LP. I also like the Epi Olympic, very good combination with the 1974X. Pleasant sounds from all guitars, but that can of course be due to the guitarist (nice to see that you got some coffee).
Access to cool guitars and amps should be part of the human rights declaration (if it isn't already).
Hahaha! I think it should be a right too! And Simon is a good host!
Stunning tones across the whole set Johan - but that strat is really a stand-out though for me. That tremolo/phaser sound is a little different than I expected. Do you know if the vintage circuit worked the same way?
Thanks Chris! No the onboard tremolo is more classic sounding. I probably should have included it. Cheers
This was one of my favorite videos in a while. I k ow this will sound predictable but the les paul was the best sounding. I like ths fender jag stang a lot.
Thanks Dan!
U rock bro
Possible lied,dont do.Classic Core fender 42-09 on my Strat"Limited-Edition".Prevent collaps of hexogonal-string.Its stayed on for a week or 2.Now it actually work,with backward bending arm.Heavy-Metal with MUCH foot stance,tougher than the rest.Much destruction.Good loud,do bend a octave or 2.Didnt 1.day only couple notes.It did work as I believed.
Usually there is one guitar-amp pairing that stands out on top but not this time. SG, Strat, Tele, Epiphone all sounded grear. Maybe the lP was a bit too hot for the amp.
Great Video! 👍😎 I love mine 1974x with a AnalogMan Beano Boost and a Les Paul! It is purely heaven!11 😍
El84s i presume? Glorious..
yep
I know the common consensus is to pair a marshall with the gibson humbucker thing but that amp seemed to come alive more with the single coils, even the epiphone with single coils sounded better than the lester and sg in my opinion. Just my two cents. Some cool playing in there too!
They all sounded great!! Aren’t they supposed to have a special aged Celestion Greenback?
Johan really earned that cup of coffee he got at the end lol. Fantastic video. Great playing and great production as always.
Thanks Brian, glad you like it!
finally! great video on one of the best small amps out there! got a second 1974x just a week ago, because you need two of these. changed the speaker to a celestion G12C (made in england) and gave it a set of new tubes, now it is even better. these amps are so underrated and built much better then many boutique amps. rock on Johan.🚀
Was there a reverb on the amp??
no reverb on the 1974x. only tremolo on the second channel.
The 2021 SG😎...Big surprise for me. Sounded awesome
👍🇦🇺
Great. I remember playing one of these in a rehearsal studio when i wanted dirt at lower volume, which it couldn't do.... but now id like an amp like it. ive bought similar sized amps but theyre not as clean or loud as this model.
Awesome demo. It's an amazing amp and all the guitars did something different but all sounded great.
Awesome sauce!! I just bought one of these.., I’ve had one before, but to see others using it.. awesome!!🎉
The SG and the Rossingtom les paul sounded fantastic . Very vintage sounding.
Strat sounds amazing. Could have sworn I was hearing humbuckers at one point.
I’m surprised at just how good the new SG and jag-stang sounded! The Lea Paul sounded muffled, the epiphone was good but a bit shrill, and the mosrite sounded too cool!
It’s actually pretty hard not to do the 1974x justice. 😂 It’s just that good
How would you compare to a vintage modern? Great playing.
The black strat stands out for me, SG close second but this amp is a winner and you are a forge of good riffs!!!
Building one of these right now!
Awesome amp. I've been wanting one of these for a long time
That 69 strat stood out, as many others have noted.
That first strat tone was bonkers.
Geez, that sounds fantastic, Johan. What a ripper of an amp.
The Epiphone is the winner for me!
The strat rocked
So nice!!
I'm in love with the Wilshire, it's right up my alley
How did you mic it? Maybe I missed that
I see it in the description RE20 and MD21 room mic. It’s incredibly well captured.
