Here’s a question...asking you because you are most recent comment. What would happen if you put an overdrive in the jumped channel?.. then you could blend that in no ? could be very cool idea. One straight channel one with even more dirt to blend in. Possibilities could be endless with other effects as well in front like that then others in the loop....lol. Just asking and saying.
@@MrIkesimba no different circuitry. What makes the bassman awesome is high and low inputs for two different channels which can be crosspatched. Its basically what the "Plexis" copied.
Thank you for a very fine demo. The "live" adjusting of the controls while playing the same leads is an excellent way to judge sound differences. Thank you.
@@sojerz1044 Celestion V Types. I mean it's pretty loud but I don't find it as loud as people say it is period for me it's as loud as a regular 20 watt amp. I also love the way it sounds with a volume attenuator in the effects Loop. This allows me to really drive the front end harder and I prefer the tones I get that way. Fatter and warmer and also at moderate levels if I wish.
I'm not a Marshall guy, but decided this is the only one I would consider snagging after watching Brett Kingman's demo, especially the blending if the clean tones. Very versatile! And this video only reinforces my interest. Great demo, thanks!
I have come to find that I am not the biggest fan of Marshall amps that have chased the trend of becoming modern sounding. I keep coming back to the SLP sound, and this little amp sounds incredible. I might have to buy one at some point.
this is how an amp demo video should be done! standing ovation on the video. love the amp. I am fortunate enough to own one of these with the cab you demo and they are an incredible combo.
@Ricky Anthony well that’s hard to describe with just words. I’ve never placed a DB meter on it but to my ears it’s loud enough to be used with any band I’ve ever played in before. I also have no desire to use it home without an attenuator on it.
@Ricky Anthony you’re very welcome. It’s a great amp and truly has that plexi sound. For me it’s plenty loud enough. Try one out and that will be the best way to see what you think on volume etc. like all plexi amps, it does sound better at a good volume.
I gave up on Marshall when I stupidly sold my killer 1959 because I was too young to know that I'd spend decades looking for something that had that clean sound. My God it was unlike anything else out there. I currently play Mesa Boogie but this little amp here has turned my head massively and I can actually hear the harmonic richness that I haven't heard since the 80's when I flogged mine. I was massively disappointed with everything Marshall put out after the JCM800 particularly from the clean point of view. That's proper, old school, plexi clean and it's fat too. I must have one.
Nice sounds! I play a 1969 50W head, model 1987, and the distorted sound of this is very reminiscent, perhaps a bit more ‘wild & wooly’, at least with single coils. Point is, very close. Gorgeous clean tones every Marshall is famous for. Add the many modern conveniences and this should be a popular Marshall amp. Thanks for your excellent review, dialing tone controls. First rate.
Great job and sound as always. This is what I call an "all night sound " no need to change it. Roll back the volume , step on clean boost , Bob's your uncle.
Very nice demo. Just got today SV20H and it sounds exactly same as in your video. I run it through Two Notes Torpedo Captor X and tired with different cabinet speaker combos and it just sounds awesome.
Hi, I’m thinking of getting one of these… how do u find the tone through the Torpedo captor x? Any tone loss? I would def need to reduce volume, but still want ‘that sound’!
Chad Bierman Traditional no. master volume do. Before breaking up they produce such a sweet amazing almost clean tone (there is a little bit of crunch). The Marshall super Bass amps are imo the best clean / slight crunch amps ever produced if you ask me.
@@bingobongo1615 Thanks so much for the info. Yea finally looking into more marshalls just cause after playing fender blackface for years just for some more tone variety.
those cleans.. amazing. no need for the fender cleans anymore :) love the versatility and good job on this demo. usually everyone just pushing the plexi for just that one legendary tone. but this has so much more to offer. this is becoming my no1 amp on my wishlist.
Here I was thinking nobody knew about As Tall As Lions....THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! That was awesome. Definitely thinking of getting one of these, that classic Marshall distortion is what I’m after.
The volumes are not sensible. At 5 Watts it's too loud to play in clubs, at least here in Vienna. I solved the situation with a Little Black Amp Box in the FX Loop and it's amazing!
Wow, As Tall As Lions in a gear demo... never thought I'd see the day! I can't remember being this excited since that time the Regular Car Review guys did a Margot and the Nuclear So n Sos song. Lol
Those settings are INCREDIBLY loud through a cab unless you are using a load into IR's. Even the clean setting at 5 watts is pretty loud in a room through a cab. Sounds nice though!
I am using the combo with a RAT and a holly grail reverb in front, it is killer if your are after Beck or G. Moore sounds! j'ai le combo, il est super avec une RAT et une reverb devant !
In my opinion, this is absolutely the best Plexi they ever made. They successfully captured 90% of the tone......it has more useful features.......and it's far more practical. Who the hell needs a 100 watt amp these days anyway. ( Unless you're playing in large stadiums of course. ) I used to own & gig a 50w JCM 800, and later a 100w JCM 900. I much prefer this little Plexi, hands down.
Everyone needs a Super Lead. A JMP 1987 50 Watter is also way more funny than this. Use a good attenuator if you can't take the heat of the real thing. These baby amps are for babies.
@@Stockholm.sweden I can already tell you don't know a damned thing about working gigs. I can also tell you've never played ina true working band......or else you wouldn't be spewing such stupid shit. And you damn sure haven't played through the little SV20. Clueless idiots like you think "20 watts is 20% of 100 watts". Nothing can be further from the truth. 20 watts rms is a loud fucking little amp, plenty for the loudest drummer & all gigs. 50 watts rms is about 80% of 100 watts rms........and 20 watts rms is about 65% of 50 watts rms. This little SV20 can get your ass evicted from any apartment. The difference is, you can actually crank this amp to get the true Plexi tone without sheering the enamel off everyone's teeth & killing animals. You can't even use a 50 watt amp cranked up to get those power tubes really cooking in the average night club, they would tell you to either turn it down or throw your ass out. Get a fucking clue punk.
@@howabouthetruth2157 I did not say the Studio Vintage is not loud. I just don't think it can be compared to a real vintage 100 or 50 watt JMP. If you want the real thing, buy the real thing. FYI I've been working as a pro since 1993. Head of pro studios for 10+ years. Done albums, toured, been a tour leader at Donington Download etc. You want a small cheap Marshall, buy the Studio Vintage. Want the real thing, buy a vintage JMP and be done with it.
Do you have a band? I’d be up for hearing your tunes. I’d also tell you this amp sounds great, but you make every damn thing you touch sound excellent.
Cheers, it takes pedals well, I tried a Bogner La Grange in the front. Sounded great 👍. I think that's gonna be one of the uses of this amp: Set it just where it breaks up then stack drives in the front and run some modulation through the loop
The lower gain inputs will give you a bit more headroom which is generally the preferred route when running high gain pedals such as a fuzz or distortion box. But yes, a quality fuzz box will sound killer with the SV20.
Plexi’s are THEE fuzz platform. Since the dawn of time.. you want to use a rangemaster.? fuzz Face? Toner bender? BIG MUFF? Plexi has always been the number 1 amp to use. Fenders are too clean. To much clean headroom. You want an amp with some grit. Reacts better with fuzz. It’s not like running a distortion box, or some kind of modulation. The magic with fuzz happens when it interacts with the natural breakup of an amp. See Jimi Hendrix or J Mascis for evidence of how it should be done. 🥳🥳
Kevin Maliszewski thanks for the feedback. I have two fuzz boxes. One is a dope priest and the other is a BAT Pharoah ram’s head edition. I wasn’t clear so my apologies but trying to reach some nice clear doom tones while being able to reach the nice cleans it produces
Excellent demo sir. I am seriously considering the purchase of one of these. Might you have any experience with this head through a Marrshall 2x12 other than the one in this video ? Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
Nice demo. It's great that you used the matching cab. Most demos do not. I don't know if you actually own the amp and cab, but have you ever thought of replacing the stock speakers with Greenbacks?
Thanks it 's a fantastic amp, one of the best that Marshall has made recently. I borrowed both the amp and the cab from Marshall. I think they complement each other quite well. Greenbacks could work well with it, although not tried it. I did try it with a V30 cab and preferred the V types 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos The V-types get some pretty good reviews. I have a 1972 Super Lead that I use with a 4x12 Greenback cab. I'm trying to scale down but still have as similar a tone as possible.
Great demo. Would really appreciate your opinion: I’m on the fence between the SV20 head and the Origin 20 head. Besides build quality and where they’re made, is there that much of a difference in sound/feel?
Having played both the Studio Vintage is the clear winner for me. Very musical, has more gain and overall sounds better. There is a big price difference but in the long run it's worth it 👍
No yacking and just playing, this is how you demo an amp
Here’s a question...asking you because you are most recent comment. What would happen if you put an overdrive in the jumped channel?.. then you could blend that in no ? could be very cool idea.

Now Fender needs to make a 20 watt 59 bassman.
A '59 bassman is already 45 watts. You're not going to notice a difference in volume between a 20 watt amp and a 45 watt amp.
@@MrIkesimba I'm talking about less "headroom" on a 20 watt.
More watts essential gives you more clean volume on the same tone stack.
@Florian Späth they do, or did. It's called a Twin Reverb.
@@smokepeddler Well, that's true. But wouldn't a 20 watt tweed Fender just be a 5c5 tweed Pro?
@@MrIkesimba no different circuitry. What makes the bassman awesome is high and low inputs for two different channels which can be crosspatched.
Its basically what the "Plexis" copied.
High quality demo. No nonsense, no useless talking about the specs read right off the website. Just tones, demo of the controls ect. Well done!
Thank you for a very fine demo. The "live" adjusting of the controls while playing the same leads is an excellent way to judge sound differences. Thank you.
I'm gonna try these settings. I recently got this amp and I'm BLOWN. The best sounding amp I've ever heard. I can't even play my other ones now.

Plexis have ALWAYS cleaned up like this... I mean, since the early 60's... so there never WAS any needs for the fender cleans...
F Stop Blues - great choice, such an underrated song
Here I was thinking nobody knew about As Tall As Lions....THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! That was awesome. Definitely thinking of getting one of these, that classic Marshall distortion is what I’m after.
The best demo I have seen on this amp, period.
Sounds like a dream
Sounds like a really impressive little amp and sensible volumes too.
Zilla Cabs played one yesterday it’s fing loud even on 5 watts
The volumes are not sensible. At 5 Watts it's too loud to play in clubs, at least here in Vienna. I solved the situation with a Little Black Amp Box in the FX Loop and it's amazing!
Love the Lower Than Atlantis riffage there. Good ol' Emily. Just got one of these today. excited to plug the combo in and feel the Plexi magic.
watching it again. can´t get enough of that sound!
I need one of these in my life
I just bought a Marshall SC JCM 800 20 watt. It’s badass. This one is next
That f stop blues was sooo smooth
Here to show my appreciation for the As Tall As Lions riff at 3.00 🙌🏼
Gosh that clean sound is beautiful !
This is how you demo gear. Not a word needed.
Beautiful tones that are exactly what im looking for - thanks for sharing the settings!
Great no bs demo.
Amp sounds good, keep them coming
Best amp demo I’ve seen. Great work.
Soundwise, the SV20H is basically a small version of the 1987X. Great amp!
Great video! Very good quality! No talking just great playing n tones.
Great review! After watching this video I have an urge to buy this amp.
Ah, I've been waiting for this! Great demo! Makes me want to get one...
Nice jack johnson, good to know I'm not the only one likes that song
I was about to post the same comment! ^^

Cheers does help 👍
@@TobysGuitarGearDemos then cheers mate! 🍻🤘🏻😆
Great demo! Couldn't have done it any better!

Just ordered one of these. I’m so stoked!!!
I've built quite a few Plexi's in my day. This definitely captures the magic!
the clean sounds section reminds me of chase this light riff
GREAT job with this demo.
Way behind the curve, I am,
I know. Gotta say, what an awesome demo 👍🏻
This is all you need.
Wow! Just wow!
Well, I bought the head and cab. Super impressed. Still have to run an attenuator though lol. That 5 watts is still wicked loud!
Wow men, I had planned to buy one to use at room volume and you told me this XD. But still wanting one
What attenuator are you running with it?
Steven Roper rivera rock crusher
Waylon Holbrook awesome thanks man!
This. And yes, wicked loud at 5 watts. I run mine through a Torpedo Captor for the -20db attenuation.
Those settings are INCREDIBLY loud through a cab unless you are using a load into IR's. Even the clean setting at 5 watts is pretty loud in a room through a cab. Sounds nice though!
Loud is good
Loud enough for gigs?

Putting a volume pedal in the effects loop gives you a PPIMV, which is the sizzle. Mine is in the post !!
Turning the EQ knobs : same sound.
Turning the volume up : OMG
that's old shool marshall for ya!
Really a great amp!
They need to make a HW version of this with a tube rectifier.
Possibly a low-powered JTM45?
best amp tutorial i've seen
Listening this while using preamp tube, noice sound
Amazing demo Toby! One question I have about those great cleans: did you have your strat's volume knob on 10 or dialed back?
I believe it was all the way up, was a while ago though so my memory’s hazy 👍
The best demo I’ve seen on this. How does it handle pedals like fuzz? I’ve been thinking of getting one of these and a vh4 mk2 pedal.
