MGL50 "1981 - 2204" Amp Head Demo

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Demo comparison of my original 1981 Marshall 50w JMP master volume 2204 and the new MGL50 "1981 - 2204" which is a faithful recreation of my Marshall plus some added modern features including a footswitchable cleaner channel and the Metropoulos "Zero Loss" effects loop. These clips were done with both amps going thru a head switcher so both amps are recorded thru the same mic'd Marshall 4x12 straight cab with Celestion 25w Greenback speakers. There are both clips with guitars plugged straight in and others boosting both amps with a Maxon OD-9 pedal. Tone controls were between 4 & 5 depending on the clip, Pre-Amp between 5 & 7, master volumes both at 4. For a more detailed description, please visit the MGL AmpWorks site. mglampworks.com/
Wow, it really captures the 2204 jmp mojo…
I only missed the “rocker switch”
👏👏👏👏
Pd: I’m waiting for Zach Wish demo…
Love my MGL50! Best new 2204 and as good as the best originals.
Thanks Mike!
Identical! Impressive
Thanks!
I would be hard impressed to tell them apart, great job.
I can't tell them apart. Fantastic tone!
🤘👍
Congratulations Mark, great effort, sounds awesome. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙
Man, that sounds killer!
Great job, Mark!
It would be so interesting to hear some of these guys comments if you had identified the Amplifiers opposite to the reality… 😉
Agreed 100%!! Many think they hear a difference with their eyes because one says Marshall. 🙄
Excellent
👍
Sounds great! I need one
Thanks! We're ready to build one for you🤘👍
The biggest differences are when played at low gain. The MGL is a bit more compressed and splatty on the string attack. As I'm more of a 70s guy, the Marshall wins for me. Once they are boosted, the nuances are more difficult to hear.
Sounds killer. Very small difference, but not in a bad way. Hell, you couldn't get any two Marshalls to sound the same anyway. What are the Master volumes on these things like? I have a Friedman BE100 Deluxe, his master volumes are the best, but I'm dumping all the Friedman stuff. Looking into something like this or the Bogner Helios.
Master volume is great and works very well down to talking volumes.
@@mglampworks8240 Good to know, Thanks.
Marshall all the way ha ha
Only difference is the same difference you would hear between two 1981 2204’s. Curious where the masters were set as this could have been more telling.
All of the settings are listed above in my description. Master volumes were both at 4.
Jimmy demoing, no doubt;)
Actually no, Jimmy didn't play on this one. But he did have his ears on it, mastered it and put it it together. He's always involved in some way! Most of it is me playing and a good customer that did the boosted clips.
These are amazing and I absolutely LOVE my MGL 50 Purple circuit! You guys have a GREAT thing going! 🤘🤘🏴☠️💪⚡
Mark and Glenn sound great here! 🤘🎶🤘
Marshall sounds fuller and grittier
Amazing to me it 2024 & you still have to put a pedal in front of it lol for 2500$ 5000$ a joke
I don't think so, these and 2204s were built primarily with tone in mind. For massive distortion you can buy any solid state amp or a tube amp with a diode in it. For massive gain think of tubes used to saturate other tubes. Eddie did it by chaining Marshall amps together. I do it by running a Hafler Hellrazor preamp into the front of 1 or 2 2204s. Enjoy modeling amps if you wish, I agree the bang for the buck is in inexpensive iterations of these. Beware, though. Once you listen to a bunch of tubes screaming at their limit, you can never go home. It's like leaving Toyland, there's no way to go back, and you won't even want to. If you really love guitar, sometimes the bang is worth the bucks.
