    Just PERFECT! What a combo, what a tone! If someone put a pedal between the 59 and the Marshall I would condemn him / her to play a crappy nylon guitar trough a cranked line 6 spider (insane channel) the rest of his / her life. I'm just kidding (or not ...), in my opinion this is the best "pick of the day" so far.

    @leedelray5947 4 года назад +5

    Regarding the "I don't get it and it sounds like shit commemts" ... What I don't think you're getting is that a JTM45 is not necessarily a "Play by itself" kinda amp... Yes it sounds like its falling apart on bottom. Thats because it kind of is. Like with a Princeton reverb, the bottom "falling apart" creates these amazing harmonics in distortion that is absolutely incredible in a band mix and on a recording. Go listen to a Dumble. They do the same thing on bottom. And people go nuts over those. It took me years and owning 3 JTm45's to realize what thus sound was all about. But once you get it... You get it. Rock on!! 😎

    But, honestly, I'm happy with my sound. I really do love my amp, and I do not find its' tone any bit inferior to what's presented here. It still sounds amazing with my cheap messed up guitar plugged into it.
    P.S. My amp is a modded JTM1C with a Jensen P10Q speaker.

My plexi head is also early 1966 according to Marshall who I contacted to help me verify and remains stock from new to this day ...got it second hand as a teanage kid back in 1976. So your JTM45's tremolo is presumably Valve/Tube driven via a 4th ecc83/12ax7 ?

      richtfingers when your talking about $3-400,000 and him having a few of them and having one that looks and plays almost the same but a little better condition; yes I could see someone like JB selling this one. With the the way joe has his money tied up with so many guitars and amps, and the caliber of musician he is, $3-400,000 is most likely still a good amount of money.

    • @jeffhudson2346
      @jeffhudson2346 5 лет назад +1

      The neck shape is in-between the 58 and the 60 and many players consider the 59 neck just right, while I don't have a 59 my LP has a modern version of the 59 neck and I agree with that sentiment.

    • @electricritual4197
      @electricritual4197 6 лет назад +1

      They started to have names before Bonamassa was buying them. It was nothing more than a clever sales pitch. Name your guitar. Then the unknowing would think, oh it has that name. It must be something special. Remember a lot of people who bought these guitars. In the 90s when they're price skyrocketed. We're doctors and lawyers that didn't play guitars. You give it a name and now it all the sudden has credibility.

    Do they make 1959 re-issues? Do they make re-issues of the JTM-45 combo amp like this? Is this what is known as a plexi? I know the head and cab ones are plexis, just wondering if this one will deliver that plexi tone, without having to crank the volume so high that no one can stand it.

    • @Wyatt42069
      @Wyatt42069 5 лет назад +1

      Michael Craig Yes, Gibson makes lots of ‘59 Reissues out of the Custom Shop. They’re getting really close, the new 2019s are fantastic. A JTM45 isn’t what people are referring to when they say “Plexi”, that would be the late 60’s Super Lead models. A JTM45 combo amp like this is what people call a “Bluesbreaker”, cause Clapton used one on the John Mayall Bluesbreakers album and thats what they’re known for. Marshall does make Bluesbreakers reissues that are super nice, but they’re usually just as expensive as a Plexi. Go watch Johan Segeborn’s videos on yt, he does a lot of Marshall stuff

Marshall has slapped the Super Lead name on some combos before, but none of them were a true “Plexi”

    Sorry but there wasn't anything amazing about this tone. The tone sounds flat, dead and sterile. Like it's "flubbing out" Funny how people say "wow that's amazing tone" because it's a vintage Marshall and 59 Burst but if this same exact tone was coming from a Crate amplifier and a pawnshop Johnson, they would say "man...that really sounds like shit" #Truth

      Those speakers are tired man, and sound like it. Nice playing tho. Not the most impressive '59 Burst I've heard either.

    Thanks for never playing the neck pickup

      I believe that's the neck pick up at about 4:15

      Robert Allen anyone who knows what True Tone is loves the neck pickup in a Les Paul. That’s where that beautiful creamy sound comes from you hear like 75-80% of the time on songs. Most people use the neck pickup more than the bridge pickup, watch Alman Brothers Band and Slash just to name a cpl; they use the neck WAY more than the bridge pickup.

    Nice playing, but that sounds like a wet fart. I’ll never understand the fascination with these brittle, buzzy tones. Just not a pleasant tone imo. Just me I guess.

      Snake oil, or lacklustre sense of hearing?

    I love the guitar. Aside from 60’s EC recordings, these amps don’t do it for me. The drive sounds ratty and the bass is woofy. I had a reissue bluesbreaker for a while and really wanted to like it but couldn’t get on with it. To get it to break up like this, the reissue had to be way beyond a reasonable stage volume, feeding back all the vocal mics. Tonewise, it was a one trick pony, didn’t take pedals well, and clean tones had the typical Marshall butteryness I don’t like. It always seemed I had to fight this amp and the attack was sluggish- like it gave back about 50% of what I gave it, as opposed to Fenders which are spot on and Voxes almost come alive on their own in the upper harmonics. I remain convinced that the popularity of the SM57 is due to how well it imposes itself upon dull-sounding amps like Marshalls.

    Another Fender ripoff! This comes from a Brit from Manchester UK. Maybe you should give a listen to Selmer or Watkins amps? Great playing though,thank you.
