Compact, no. Roughly the same as the Marshall. Dense, YES! 10kg heavier.

Thanks. The Marshall could be described as more open & honest of one's playing. The Orange gives everything focus and attack. Horses for courses!

I haven't used it in a while, no. That is no indication of how great a piece of kit it is, though. I know most folks use smaller dolly+track rigs for their mobile phones and canon full-frame cameras, but the travel you get from this small kit adds a more substantial movement dynamic to the shot.

@@BradPham thanks for the feedback. I’ve been tossing up between this and the Dana dolly

@@parkercreative_au Wally Dolly is suited to both small rigs and medium-sized rigs. I suspect the Dana Dolly is for a small rig.

It was very dark, yes. A little spooky, perhaps.

Hey, it's a late 90's Japanese HSS Stratocaster that I brutalised into a type of Frankenstrat with a Seymour Duncan, Fender-spaced '59 humbucker in the bridge, and a genuine Floyd Rose "1984" locking tremolo. It sounds good but the fretboard and frets need a service. Thanks for asking!

Is that the original color or did you have it refinished? I love the color! Thanks man

@@CS-ru4xd The original finish is a veneer, called a fotoflame top. It was gloss but I sanded it back to a dull finish.

@@BradPham Looks really cool, I dig it!

It’s fun to turn up the 100 watt Marshall into two 4x12 cabs!

Good comments. Each has good and less good qualities.

Would you think a distortion pedal used in the right way, would give it that gritty sound like the Marshall?

I'd like to try this comparison again sometime. What is true is that they are very different beasts. The Orange is tighter with a thick bottom end. The Marshall is a bit looser. The Marshall 1960b would've been a better apples-to-apples comparison, wouldn't you agree?

It was a good combination, clean-ish JTM45 + drive pedal.

Hey, no worries. It was a quick and dirty but it was fun. That public music rehearsal room was great because I could turn the amp up to 11 (Spinal Tap) without offending anyone. But it's been closed for over two years now due to the bat virus!

I've since reinforced the interior of the Marshall 1960a cab. I've also soldered the speaker wires. I've yet to test the results at volume to see if I get a better sound from the 1960a cab. Yes, the Orange PPC412 sounds mighty.

The V30 speakers in the PPC412 make a difference as well. I did have a MesaBoogie 4x12 oversized with V30's but I sold it for a song a while back. Doh! The Marshall JVM410HJS was designed with G12T-75 speakers in mind so I bought the 1960A. Would've liked a 1960B as well but couldn't get my hands on one. I've seen the Segeborn videos on the difference between slant and straight cabs. A great resource, he is. Satriani uses a 1960B straight cab with G12T-75 speakers when performing live.

I'm assuming you look at your own feet. Do you trust yourself?

Yep. I've never heard a greenback in real life - only on the RUclips and in AC/DC's recordings.

The orange is V30s

si si

I mention at the start that neither the Orange PPC412 nor the Marshall 1960A cab are old enough to have proper Made In England Celestion speakers. They’re all made in China. The good thing is that they’re old enough to be well broken in already!

Cabs built in uk…..speakers Chinese (they sound great though!)

@@Ron4president09 This. I've recently picked up a pair of new Chinese V-30s. I've not had to break a speaker in myself so I'm interested to hear just how harsh they are fresh out of the box. Some folks have said the difference between new and well-broken-in is night and day. We'll see soon, I hope! (that public music rehearsal room is still closed due to covid restrictions. I can't turn my amp up to 11 in my place of residence).

@@BradPham very cool, how are you liking the new v30’s so far. I have a new orange ppc212 i still need to break in. Good way is to program a looper pedal and let it just play and play and play

@@Ron4president09 Thanks for the tip. I've not put the new V30's in to the bottom of the 1960A just yet. I'm either procrastinating or I'm nervous about taking the two OG G12T-75's out of the bottom of the cab. You may have prompted me to carry out the task shortly.

Hey, thanks. Unfortunately that rehearsal room has been off limits for over a year due to the pandemic. It was a good space to just turn things up and feel the 100 watts of valve power through a quad box.

Also, would love better audio for the full stack part, sounded real interesting

@@SweWince The Orange PPC412 cab has a more defined character straight of the box. The 1960a cab is more of a, dare I say it, rhythm player's cab. Even Satriani, uses the 1960b cab because it has more punch than the 1960a. The full stack is more of a flavour that you get used to. Unfortunately I whimped out and sold the PPC412 but picked up a PPC212. This was to save a bit of space. Do I regret selling the monster PPC412? Yes. But do I need the space? Yes.

Lol I thought I loved the orange until I heard the Marshall 😂. Credit to the man who made the video tho great comparison.

Folks who care prefer orange cabs for their superior build and aural focus and tightness. Some people, however, just get a Marshall 1960 cab and never look any further. I'm happy I've been able to give both a spin.

Thanks. I'd like to do another one soon. I've reinforced the black Marshall cab. Hopefully it's made a different. Can't turn it up at the moment due to covid.

Similar chord structure but not the same. What gives it the Purple Rain vibe is the Asus9 chord - I think that’s what it’s called. Wendy Melvion plays the riff a step higher with Bflat sus9.

@@BradPham Thanks for your review. What do you think about adding an fx loop to these wonderful amplifiers, it somehow changes the plexi tone that we're looking for, what would be the pros and cons of using fx loop, and what kind of loop would be the best?.

@@Summer69. There are plenty of threads from last few decades in this but not as much these days. Focus has shifted, through changes in tech and also the corona virus, to virtual amps, line 6 helix, two notes, axe fx, boss waza, and the list goes on. Purists want the Marshall hand-wired reissues of the JTM45 and 1959SLP. An fx loop is seen as a dilution of the signal, effects should go before the amp, and don’t bother with delay & reverb with the plexi. I’m of that opinion. Want reverb? Get a Fender Twin Reverb and turn the volume up to 11! If you just have delay, use an instrument level signal analogue delay pedal (mxr carbon copy?) and put it after your fuzz & wah pedals. You probs agree that this is the purist view.

@@BradPham You're right about the focus given to all those new software (Helix,. Fractal etc). Personally I dont like them. I'm old school tone. It would be great if Marshall re-edited the jtm45, 1959slp, JMP plexis, but handmade point by point, the problem would be the cost hahaha. I was asking you about the fx loop, since I was planning to buy in the near future a clone of the jtm45 or a 1959superlead, but I had doubts about the loop, more than anything about the use of the delays in front amp. I only used 2 delays (dd3 and a carbon copy). My pedal chain is very small and classic only used wha - phase 90 MXR - chorus small clone - MXR carbon copy - boss dd3 - and sometimes Marshall reflector reverb but very light, although I was thinking of removing it from the chain. About the fx loop it was only my doubt if the delays or the chorus, but I wanted to keep the tone of the amplifier as pure as possible.

@@Summer69. You’re talking yourself into a corner there. If you want the pure amp tone it’s best you go into the front of the amp with your fx. My view is that the cranked plexi sound doesn’t want reverb at all. It doesn’t need delay either, unless you like it for solos. In which case your solo is going to be so awesome that it won’t need delay! I recall a period where the 1959SLP reissue had a built in fx loop. I see the Marshall website only has the 1959SLP available only in the hand wired version at present. Obviously, no fx loop in it.

Earl Heath More of a classic sound you’re chasing. Regrettably I sold this JTM45 reissue. I’ve not had the skills nor materials at my disposal to mess around with different rectifiers, transformers etc.. Enjoyed some of your videos. Do you still do amp mods yourself?

Bogan Con Lai ruclips.net/video/Xl-ii3v-2fU/видео.html I build amps and mod them as well. I also wound the pickups in the video above.

@@Earlvis Hey, that's a tough sounding amp. 6L6?

@@Earlvis Yeah, that's a pretty tough looking amp.

Bogan Con Lai Peter Mather built the cabinets for me in Scarlet Red with Mesa Cane grille cloth. My bandmates call it the Red-Headed Step Child.

Devotionals Depeche Mode Tribute Band In addition you the speaker’s own character, the heavy, sturdy, precision construction of the Orange cab adds to the tightness. I added some minor extra bracing to the inside of Marshall 1960a cab last week. It has made a noticeable difference IMHO. Bit heavier now too, unfortunately! 😆

Bogan Con Lai that’s a good idea !!!

Good to hear people's perspectives. The Marshall 1960a has a more even frequency response to my ears whereas the Orange PPC412 is tighter and punchier. I kept the audio levels between the two as recorded. I'm sure in a real mixing situation you'd bring the Marshall up (or bring the Orange down).

Hey. This video was a bit rushed from the get go. However, I alternate for each riff, playing the Marshall 1960a first each time. There are two big giveaways for the Orange and the Vintage 30 speakers - louder with a tight but fat bass and a tight but muted top end. The mids, which I always thought of as strong are, well, the high mids are swallowed up by the tight bass. BY COMPARISON, the Marshall 1960a with the G12T-75 is almost the opposite - quieter, looser, and with a more even frequency response. It should be noted that I didn't boost the level of the Marshall 1960a to match the higher output of the Orange cab. It would have sounded better a bit louder however I wanted to get a more raw comparison between the two cabs.

Josh Howe www.vintagejapanguitars.com.br/en/greco-guitar-catalogues/

Josh Howe I bought that Greco guitar from a guitar repair & secondhand dealer. I didn’t know what they were prior to that. Check one of my earlier videos - I believe it is an EGC68-50.

A riff I've had for many years now. Bit of 80's hair metal riffing, thrash, pop and punk inspiration.

That's a good one

Good to have your point of view. The Marshall JVM410HJS was designed to be played with a Marshall 1960 full stack of G12T-75, ie, both 1960a and 1960b. I notice that Satriani uses the 1960b when he tours. I could consider his sound more modern and slightly scooped. I guess Slash's sound is more vintage, hence he favours the V30. Watched your Ice 9 with Gibson SG clip. You're a great player.

@@BradPham thanks very much, too kind eheh btw glad you liked it! Yes indeed love the more scooped sound of satriani, I think that's why he also uses much more the neck humbaker, it's kind Of a similar "sound" directions. Slash sound I think is the best mix of a vintage and modern sound around (for heavy rock), don't you think? Btw great riffs and playing in the vid! I like the rocker height of the guitar too! 😎

Danilo Ricci Never heard Satriani out of an SG before. Good one! Not so much the gear but the player. Doesn’t stop us from buying gear though! They say the V30 cuts through a band mix better which has suited Slash over the years. Satch isn’t really competing for air time so he’s free to use wider range of dynamics and pitch. Yep, he does great work with the neck pickup.

@@BradPham yeah good observations, cool to put together slash and satch in a sound comparison!! Eheh

@@DaniMustangMeazzi Was thinking about this. Couldn't have come from more different rock genres. But then again, they were the two sides to the same coin - 80's rock. Satch was the guitar hero whiz kid and Slash had a swagger, a top hat, a one-of-a-kind Kris Derrig Les Paul rip-off, a modded Marshall, and, like you said, he was bringing classic rock into the modern era. I grew up in the 80's/90's and, yep, these two were different sides of the same coin - guitar heroes in a golden age of guitar. Every charting song featured a guitar.

Bryan Becerra I’d like to keep both. Orange PPC412 with V30’s: louder, compressed, focussed, & tight ... BUT much heavier to lift. Marshall 1960a with G12T-75’s: quietER, loose, flatter frequency response ... BUT still a bit scooped. I’ve become accustomed to using both at the same time. The Orange cabinet is more solidly built. If I had time I’d swap out the speakers between the two and see how that affects their sound. Then I’d try each cab with two V30’s on the bottom and two G12T-75’s up top. If I had to get rid of one I’d prefer to get rid of both and replace with one Orange PPC212 and a Marshall 1936 2x12!

xNimrod97x Honestly can’t make the comparison to Gibson Studio because I don’t own one. I’ve heard some great ones on RUclips, though. This last year it has been reported that Epiphone guitars are competitive for quality and price. Very early Epiphone guitars are often well regarded too. The Mint Collection Greco series were great guitars. Many folks would say such a Greco in good condition could trump ANY Gibson or Epiphone. I don’t believe that is entirely true but, having said that, there is a good chance it’ll sound better than the 2 guitar types you’ve mentioned. But these things can be hit & miss so PLEASE play the guitar before you purchase. If you can’t do that, you’ve really got to ask as many questions of the seller as you can. E.g., weight (chambered or solid body), neck profile (baseball bat vs slim taper & in between), neck tenon (long tenon is ideal, IMHO), nitro or poly finish, width at nut & at join, pickups (dry Z or screaming 82 etc), fret type & wear, neck binding (none makes a refret cheaper). If you can take your time to consider at least these points it should help you make a decision.

did you buy it?

@@airbag97 I did not. I ended up with a Burny Custom, one of the last years they were in Japan. It’s awesome! Way above Epiphone in my opinion. It’s quickly became my favorite guitar.

Funny how the place comes alive under these conditions. Next week it’ll be a lake again. Not as consistent as your Torquey area.

Yep, thx 4 the compliments, Ryan. I like the djent/chug stuff but I’m more a Malcolm Young kinda guy if you know wot I mean.

Rad Brad Yeah that’s cool! To test an amp I always use a mix of big open chords ACDC style and a bit of Van Halen Unchained. I find you learn a lot more about an amp with those two styles. Just chugging away doesn’t tell you a whole lot I don’t think.

Lol. Yes! Where were you 7 years ago?

@@BradPham LMAO.....now I know LOL

mont john Even one channel sounds better than your average amp. Also, more articulate in expression than with channels jumped.

Uncle Dave I have a 100W Marshall JVM410HJS running only two power tubes. So kinda like 50W. Sorry I couldn’t tell if one was louder because they’re both pretty loud. The tones are different with the JTM45 a one-trick authentic rock tone and the 410HJS being a jack-of-all-trades master-at-none. That being said they both sound their best, and by that I mean awesome, fully cranked.
