@elmo you’re the most honest gear reviewer and I really appreciate you taking the effort and time to do this. I trust your opinion and enjoy your sense of humour. Please keep going! Thanks
Great demo and playing. I have the combo and absolutely love it. Everyone loves to dismiss the 10" speaker (even when they haven't played one) but it's great for the combo. perfectly matched and if you want more, just hook it up to a 2x12 or 4x12. Marshall killed it with this one.
What volume level do you need to reach to get distortion? I have one but I think it may be faulty, as I'm getting cleans all the way up to 5, can't push it any louder in my apartment 😦
@@shughy1 hey mate. You need a JHS little black amp box into the fx loop to get some gain out of it without blowing you’re ear drums. That will help you control the volume but you mainly get preamp distortion. You’re right, it’s crazy loud with lots of head room. The cleans are awesome though which was a surprise to me and something I love about that amp.
A lot of vintage tones in the music that inspired us in the first place most likely came out a 10" speaker. I've got an old pair of Vox cabs and they're 4X10s. Great sound and cut through any mix.
Thanks Elmo. From the many reviews on YT, I like yours the most. Now to check the combo review as need to decide whether to keep my mini Jubilee Combo or get one of those.
Thanks for this Elmo. Another good thing about this modern combo is that the chassis fascia is facing you so when you look at it you can read it and it's not 'upside down' as with the vintage reissues eg the 1974X. It makes all the difference.....lol
🤘 this little beast takes your input super well. What a tone ... man. As I said before, we now need a stadium full of people a rockin' good time. I think after this Cov season, live events will be HUGE again.
Wow over a hundred comments Elmo ! Gathering pace slowly but surely and very well deserved too. No matter how hard I try I always try and dial in to the old school Marshall sound. You can take the boy out of the 60's/70's but you can't take the Marshall out of the boy lol.
Sweet. It's a mini bluesbreaker...yeah, basically a Plexi in combo form. I believe Marshall made the original for Clapton in his John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers days and put it at 45 watts. JTM 45 in combo form, but with 2 speakers. Yeah, that's the tone. Sweeeeeeetttt!
Dear Mr Man Bun Poneytail. A lot of amps under $1500euros have the ground cables on ribbon cable and the grounds break off making them loud. It happened to my Princeton and I was horrified. I had it modded and had all grounds done properly, then I had all of the cheap Chinese components replaced with good stuff. It is now a thing of beauty, and the mods cost me about 100 euros.
Great review Elmo! Just picked it up this week, $1360 USD, we Americans are getting boned on the Marshall prices. It took me a little more time than other amps to dial in a good tone (think jumping channels is great) but I love it now. It's the perfect practice amp... if you want to be deaf as shit at the end of every practice.
It's so cute and rocking 😍 i was worried it would be too wimpy due to small cab. Added bonus for viewers; maybe a db meter displayed in the room? You rock Elmo 🤘😉
Sounds good Elmo! I tried one of these and the JCM800 20 watt reissue when they came out for the first time in my local guitar store sometime last year (or the year before - I forget). Great amps, but the plexi that stole my heart is the Friedman Mini Dirty Shirley (head and cab) that I HAD to own after it came in 2nd hand at a great price. I still own it and love it. Once you find that one plexi amp - that's all you need mate!
I hope you were able to get this Marshall! I have the head (due to very demanding clients that always want some unique speaker or cabinet). Love this head, it freaking rocks
I love the scalloped-neck strat and natural timber finish. The combo sounds very good into a bigger cab but I am surprised with the 10" speaker - it kicks some serious sound. Humbuckers would fatten it up? Love your rock guitar playing. Good video and appraisal.
Awesome playing and the sound I am looking for. Really. I dug MESA amps for years and searched for one in my country but no luck, but seeing those Marshalls...
Holy sheeet! It sounds really great. And I wish I recorded my face reaction once you switched to that darker channel first time with neck pickup (woooot) xD so damn cool sounds ;)
Very good amp, indeed!!! And the versatility adds up, you can grab and go to a gig, this in one hand and a guitar in the other and you're good to go! I was expecting to hear it with an SD-1 or a TS-9 in front and maybe the MXR micro chorus you have on the back BEFORE the drive for '80s style heavy metal (Zakk Wylde, Judas Priest etc.)!!! And the 10 inch speaker is very good and full sounding! It may lack some bass compared to the 4x12 but, hey, it's less boomy and it'll cut through the band.
Hi Elmo. I’m searching for an amp that could be near Gary’s tone but exclusively in the Montreux 1995 concert. So no high gainish soldanoish or late 90’s tone, in that concert is classic rock tone at his best. I can’t buy a 1987 or a 1959, I play at bedroom volume at most so even a 20w is loud. The question is, do you think this can be ok to achieve that tone (given I don’t have Greeny, Stripe and Gary’s fingers above all)? I’m thinking to buy the sv20h
Sounds nice but they list £800 here in the UK It really depends on the player, it would not make one once of sense to invest in a amp of that price if your not going further then your den but that's me, I am on that quest searching for that amp, the Spark looks nice but I am not sure if I want to fart about looking for a sound, so far in the lead of my choices is the Blackstar HT1-R , don't think you tested that one yet , just seems to be the perfect home amp for those who want that tube sound without being evicted lol nice playing Elmo ,
Wouldn't it be a good idea to just let it be an amp? What I mean is not to call it a Plexi combo and compare it to but just figure if there is a general liking of the sounds it can make. To my ears it sounds great even without pedals.
It's my understanding that the bright cap was originally to compensate for really long cable runs back in the days before buffers or wireless. Swapping it out in a modern setting is probably a good idea. Plus ya get to crow about having a "custom" wired amp. No downsides.
Can you please tell me how does this amp's FX loop works? There are NO tubes for (send/half 12ax7 - return/second half 12ax7) the FX loop Is there any loss of volume/phase issues/tone decay by using the FX loop? Thanks
@@MrPolevaulter people at TC ELECTRONIC are smart, they know what works best for commercial stuff; I'm full of TC products Thanks for your kind reply and for your 'illuminating' demo!
Elmo, I realise the Vintage is UK built but other than that how do you compare it with the Origin 20W combo which has more or less the same valve spec and with a footswitch is about £300 less? Thanks a lot & another great review.
Being a huge VH fan I tend to prefer the Marshall. Yea they are funny beasts and hard to control at times, but thats the brown sound. Never liked the 5150 Peavey or EVH amps. Never really liked Ed's tone when he used them either. The SV20 is amazing. I have had old jmp 100w sl and this lil amp has that DNA. Its even closer to that vintage sound over the reissue 1959 and 87 HW amps you can get now. Great video and awesome tone. 🤘 getting that tone from a single coil is no easy task
Hmm, I’m thinking this is the best amp you’ve played this year.. good way to end shitty 2020! Now, if only Marshall would make a mini head version of the JCM900 SLX so I can relive high school..
Hey I was wondering is it worth it to upgrade to a 12 inch speaker and also there is no reverb ? What’s your opinion Elmo? I want that plexi sound for home and gigs 🙂
The combo sounded better, atleast mic'd up than your cab Elmo. Not so fat and muddy in the mids. What a killer amp, damn that's incredibly good. I want..
@Luke Speakers make, a huge difference to tone, the Amps awesome. That 4x12 sounds great and in the room it would sound amazing, but a 1x12 cab like in the combo can sound awesome when it recorded it translated in this video least to my ears as less muddy in the mids. Its all all subjective...
A 10 is great for recording. Might be better than a 12 because it's only 20 watts and keeps the lows tight like a 4x12 greenback cab. I use a Peavey Delta Blues 1x15 to get that big stack sound from a combo, but it doesn't like close micing too much. Too many weird zones on the cone. Micing one speaker on a 4x12 actually sounds small and flat, better to mic a single-speaker cab.
very good video, I have doubts about buying an sv20 (plexi) in head format but ... from what I see at home it is advisable to use an attenuator even if it goes to 5w In my case, it is for use in a rehearsal room with my band. Too wild for a band rehearsal or live performance in small venues without using a dimmer?
Not for me. It sounds really loose all over the place but I think that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I think I’ve playing Mesas for to long. Not complaining. Great video, just not my thing.
As soon as you started playing it sounds great. I still would personally opt for a 20 watt or 50 watt. DSL. Much cheaper and they sound wickedly good to me. Man, that Yngwie run you did with the small 3 string arpeggios, and then the really fast run right after and before you did some other stuff including van Halen was just killer. Killer man. Your playing good and it's obvious the amp inspires ya. That's what a tube amp does better than anything in my opinion. Nothing compares. At least not that I've tried including the kemper, etc, although I've not tried the AxeFx and I hear its spot on. Hope you and the family and friends are safe and healthy my friend. !!!! 🤟💖🤟💖🤟💖🤟💖🤟🤟🤟🤟
@@MrPolevaulter I'm getting up in the AM and still as sharp as a tack as they say, 😂 so I feel lucky compared to what I could be. 🤣 We aren't mandated guaranteed here, but I do what the docs say and wear a mask and stay away from people except close close family and my girl and cats. 🤣 Will be so glad when this vaacine is released and I can get the shot and so can everyone else and this scourge upon humanity will be over.

That amp sounded great Elmo. You were firing on all cylinders with the YJM & EVH licks and nice to hear a touch of Gary Moore too. Still don't get why modern day Marshall amp builds are so often let down by opting for a less than 12 inch speaker / enclosure. Even my very first combo as a kid (5 watt Marshall Mercury) back in 1973 had a12 inch speaker.
Sure is a good amp. And regarding what Luke said, I'd say some people just won't have the money if they're already living hand to mouth, but that's a different discussion.

Sure does :)
I love the sounds. I’m playing at home almost always. Could this be a decent bedroom amp?
With a volume pot in the loop, maybe.
Awesome , The "Expensive - made in UK " version of the Marshall Origin 20 combo . A comparison would be great !
It would, but I ended up selling this. I could of course compile a video.

On this amp, for sure.
If you want a clear, defined sound for actual music, Marshall is a good way to go. Unless it's the Code. But the others are pretty marvelous.
Do you have to take the back off to connect a speaker?
Don’t see anything on the back for an extension cab.
Nope. There was a speaker out there somewhere. Can't remember where exactly.

Great review, like always!! Is this much better than the Origin 20C? They use the same v-type 10" speaker. Tnx
Haven't tried the Origin 20C, but I'd wager it is.
@@MrPolevaulter Thanks for your reply! Cheers
Just fyi. If it's the sc20 here in the states at Sweetwater it's $1499.00..
Let's hope live music is back soon.
---> 9:22 what is that song? Hey man youre such an awesome guitarist you could make a $10 amp sound good ! Great reviews rock on
Thanks! It's Miracle Man by Ozzy Osbourne.
When are the guitar Olympics?
Seems u have a lot of fun with the amp/combo 😂😂👍👏👌
Yep :)
Hi, what song are you playing at 7:40??
I'll See The Light Tonight
That amp sounded great Elmo. You were firing on all cylinders with the YJM & EVH licks and nice to hear a touch of Gary Moore too. Still don't get why modern day Marshall amp builds are so often let down by opting for a less than 12 inch speaker / enclosure. Even my very first combo as a kid (5 watt Marshall Mercury) back in 1973 had a12 inch speaker.
Yeah, that is a bit strange. Oh, and thanks :)
Hm, this one or the head version?
Head version for me.
@@MrPolevaulter Why? Is the speaker bad in the combo?
Is volume pot viable in the effects loop as these are too loud for home.
Yeah
Still My Bleeding Heart... nice.
Yep. Great song :)
I don't usually like the Marshall sound, but that thing works for me! P. S. Elmo, I'd love to see you try a Peavey Classic 30!
Been thinking of trying one at some point, so you probably will :)
@@MrPolevaulter great stuff! I tried one years ago and found it to have the best mild break up sound I've ever heard!
899? Wish it was now.
Agree Elmo.... hot damn lol....
Would you say that it is as good as the head in terms of sound and feel? Greetings from Germany!
Yes, I think so.
THis ampppp IS insaneeeee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha :D Yeah :)
I like it.
Me too :)
The guitar sounds very nice!!! What is it?

Hi, what song are you playing at 9:22 ?
Miracle Man
I guess you cant go wrong with this amp...if you have the money.
Sure is a good amp. And regarding what Luke said, I'd say some people just won't have the money if they're already living hand to mouth, but that's a different discussion.
is this one suitable at 5 watt for use at home ?
Probably not, but you can stick a volume pot in the loop and get it as quiet as you want.
