    Lesson learned.
    Never change the tubes, never change the speakers, wait a couple of decades to start seeing the improvements.

      @Dagger_323 19 дней назад +1

      Unfortunately, that's not a viable solution. Vintage speakers and tubes were made differently in the '50s and '60s era than they're made today, so unless companies start upping their game and producing accurate vintage Celestion copies, and particularly military spec tubes that both sound better and will last for years without burning out the way modern ones do, then we're always going to fall short with modern stuff.

I ran them all thry a custom made for me 2x12 cab. Its a greay cab but had cheap jenson kod 70 speakers. I finallt put a vintage 55hz greenback. And a newer england made 30 watt greenbacl 75hz and damnnn

      @dreyn7780 7 лет назад

      Yeah, according to marshall law, all reissues are not to be made the same as the original amps cause if they did make the amps exactly the same, then you'd loose your investment in both products. They've got to reward their old customers with keeping the new amps seperate from the originals but paying tribute to the originals.
      But the people who still own the originals can buy a new product and get all new era sounds too! If you buy you're a winner! Every customer, old or new, are all winners!
      The loozerz are the people who want the same thing as the historical item, or people who expect the new thing to be the old thing and therefore have no evolution in design. Which would be defined as a dead product.

    Great demo Johan, well played, but you need to get that top end tone at volume dressed off so it doesn't sound too bright and edgy. It will makes the notes you're playing sound bigger and musically more appealing. Doesn't have to sound like Clapton in '66, but a bit closer would be a plus imo.

    When you go from the 1967 to the 2017, the 2017 sounds harsh for few seconds but then sounds very good too. So yes they do sound different but both are good on their own and I think is not a bad choice to go for the new one... thanks for the video, you rock!

    Is it me or is the '67 seem quieter with a lot less hum? You'd think the 2017 would have fewer noise related issues. Either way - I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the cab makes such a huge difference. Admittedly, I love vintage, particularly for this amp model/era but even from a more objective point of view the '67 is way more refined and a lot less noisy to my ears.

    A fantastic idea to run the new amp through the old cab!
    I wonder if, in 1967, the speakers in the old cab sounded as bright as the new ones do? The old speakers sound a little bit muddy for me and the new ones a little bit too harsh. Drawing a straight line between them would mean that something from 1975-80 would be perfect for me. :-)
    As usual, a very entertaining and thought-provoking educational video, Johan!

    @JavierBautista-d1k Месяц назад

    Thanks @johansegeborn it's definitely the old speakers that give you that great tone, although the reissue with new speakers is no slouch, it's just different. I consider in this comparison that it's a question of how the equipment has aged (how old the equipment is, how many times it was used in that time, how it was used most of the time "distorted" or "clean") since that defines how much the speaker has softened and how much wear and tear the internal circuits have and their performance, so many factors that intervene in the final tone that it's not worth going crazy over this. The Marshall team has done a great job with this reissue, let's take advantage before something changes.

Secondly, it would be great if Mr. Segeborn would have actual professional guitarists come in a do real A/B comparisons...with all apologies, Mr. Segeborn's playing does not do these amps real justice.

    It’s tough...a lot can be said for EQ. You know, I’ve played w people who literally can’t play if they don’t have their babies...either one of these amps would sing in the right hands. There ARE differences, but who’s to say what’s better or worse or just DIFFERENT. Dig for a time at apartment volume levels then wonder why everything goes out the window when volume is at noon now at the space. 40 dollar patch cables. You either got it, or you DONT. The rest can become utter nonsense in the wrong brain until they’re paralyzed w fear because their balls weren’t ever there in the first place. Rock on. Love your videos! Sorry...I’ve been bulldozed by vintage audio gear to where I’d just rather somebody plug in a gorilla and rock without fiddling w gear more than playing. YOU keep doing what you’re doing. I love it.

  • @TheJeffcurran
    @TheJeffcurran 7 лет назад

    I have listened quite a few times now and I can get all the information I need in the first 40 seconds. The 1967 is the one. The 2017 is a bit too bright. The 2017 through the 1967 speakers has too much sizzle. The speakers on the 67 did not really seem to like the 2017 amp. I would imagine that it's possible to tweak the tone controls to get the 2017 to sound more like the 1967, bit I wouldn't know for sure unless you send me both amps immediately. This video has now become my reference to set up my Yamaha THR10C.

  • @legendofthestrings1
    @legendofthestrings1 7 лет назад

    Hey Johan glad to see your latest comparison. Man those amps barely sound even similar. I would suspect if you ran the 67 through the 17 it wouldn't even sound like the 2017 amp or close. Wow cool to see what was and and what is and what will never be :) funny Marshall trying to clone them selves lol. I think the 67 has all that classic and spades but the 17 is nicer more refined which lends to a more modern sound. I dig it. I have a 1974x which sounds similar to your 1917 with less gain. I had a Mercury Magnets O/T installed and it sounded so much better took that mud out of the tone.

    They both sound good. However, the reissue amp doesn't sound close enough to the original though. Probably due to the different speakers.

  • @user-up1us9jf1o
    @user-up1us9jf1o 7 лет назад

    So I own this exact amp, different year, but nonetheless nearly identical. Bought it from a dear friend of mine who gave me a great deal because he knew I would play it because that's what instruments want to do. They are happier being played. When I got the old one I sold my reissue. I think a big part of the old sound comes down to wear and tear. Guitars open up over time, speakers loosen up a bit, the wood molecules in the cab rattle into place, part values drift slightly. The reissue I had did get better every hundred hours or so. That being said every individual Marshall from back then sounds different too.

  • @69zenos1
    @69zenos1 5 лет назад

    They both have pros and cons. The speakers and amp are broken in on the older. That is going to affect the sound. I would buy a used one over the new. But...that also means you have no clue what kind of abuse it has gone through. I have to decide...is 3200.00 worth it vs. 1500.00.

  • @danpeabody5687
    @danpeabody5687 7 лет назад +1

    for lack of a better way to describe it the reissue sounds brighter has more presents for lack of a better word maybe a little harsher and when you run them reissue head through the old speaker cabinet it changes things a bit so it must be a combination of the old electronics getting a little softer and the speakers of the 67 the combinations what makes it sound different to my ears better. but that's all very subjective and in a band setting it's entirely possible to reissue would cut through and sound better. Johan have you ever heard of "the Doug and Pat show"? if not you should

    • @JohanSegeborn

    The first part of the video playing on overdrive, there is a big difference in sound. The original is thick and warmer. It sounds much better than the reissue. Once you got to the clean sound- they both sound pretty similar. Great video!
    An interesting side note on comparing originals to reissues - I recently bought an Ibanez Tubescreamer TS808 reissue and compared it to an original TS808 from the early 1980's. The sound is almost identical. I don't think I would have been able to tell them apart in a blind test.

      John Rose the only thing I'd say about the 808 reissue is that the switch is very poor in its mechanical action and the led is very dim. I have modded several for friends with a sturdy footswitch and clipped the top of the led to make it more viewable on stage. I have no problem with the buffer personally, you can a/b with a basic bypass box and it's really not intrusive, unlike some of the more unusual screamer variants ibanez did in the eighties. All hats off to ibanez for their electronics then!

    I like the 2017 in the old cab, sounder awesome, so buy a vintage one, take out the guts and store it and put in new amp, it will look cool, sound cool, and probably be more reliable :-) and keep the original for rainy days.

  • @phel21
    @phel21 7 лет назад

    Wonder what the 1967-model sounded like in '67? Both speakers and components change over time so the difference may have been much smaller if both had been recorded within the year of production.

    @nathanadkins2985 4 года назад

    Johan I had a Marshall bluesbreaker reissue it never sounded right. Just not warm enough. What causes that? Would you need to put lower filter caps and a better turret board? Also the reissues come with the wrong tubes. They should be Kt66s.

  • @montys8th
    @montys8th 7 лет назад

    I was really surprised by the difference. On any given day most of us would kill to have the 2017, but not today. Today belongs to 1967.

  • @stratocastermaster9
    @stratocastermaster9 7 лет назад

    do you think they will ever make a re issue of any amp or speaker that's sounds as warm or warmer that the original ? in 50 years of hard playing how do think the 2017 version will sound ? time will tell. Thank you for these demonstrations. It's a real treat, keep up the good work.

    @gnarlygale 6 лет назад

    gotta say the new one sounds better, probably a heretical statement, but there it is... people have a tendency to fetishize/romanticize these things, most are going to default say the '67 is better just because they know its a '67, but if you did a blindfold preference test the results would be mixed, listen with your ears not your eyes

    I'm sorry, but the reissue or the reissue plugged into the original didn't even come close to the original.

  • @kengevers8738
    @kengevers8738 3 года назад

    Johan, I have 2 of the reissues, and they sound like the '67, sorta. The new amp sounds buzzy, but it does sound good. What did you think?🙂

  • @michaelcoudriet5896
    @michaelcoudriet5896 6 лет назад

    How about running the 1967 through the new speakers also? This would eliminate and shed light on another variable. What new speakers do to a vintage chasis/head's tone.

    I know that in many of these demo video's you are using the Marshall's owned by others. I was just curious how many do you personally own and what are they ? Like you have enough time to answer this question, lol.

  • @gwEmbassy
    @gwEmbassy 7 лет назад

    I didn't really like the 2017 combo on its own, sounded quite harsh to me. Using the 60s cab improved it a great deal. But still I thought the 67 is really in a class of its own.

  • @bluesful

    1967 has more grit, low end and harmonic content. 1967 cab is deeper in dimension.

    The reissue seems just a hair chimier on the cleans, but overall I think Marshall got this one damn close.

  • @stefftrim

    Hejsan Johan. I know I am 8 months shy of release, but I still like to comment, because I just finished building a 1963 JTM45 clone with Dagnell power and output transformers built similar to the original but with KT66 Golden Lion tubes and JJEZ34 rectifier tube and EI ECC83 preamp tubes through a vintage 412A cabinet with post Rola British G12 H25 and if I am just close to the 1967 blues breaker in it's rich harmonics and tone, I will jump up and down. The difference I hear is in the harmonics. The reissue sound like solid state in the comparison. Changing speakers gives a difference in tone, but still shy on harmonics. Rock on!

    and again, a great video! :o)

    @johnwiksten6325 7 лет назад

    yes there is a diff in the sound, a great part belongs to speakers i think, both amps have a great sound but to me the old one have a little more mellow in its sound, the old one works best to me. thanks for another good a/b test. very nice

    👋 johan
    much prefer the 1967.
    the 2017 is tight and sounds compressed. remember i once tried a strat through an old bluesbreaker many years ago. the shop assistant thought I was an amazing guitarists. wish i could turn back time. she was blonde and good looking but i like all guitarists when in a guitar store like a child in a sweet shop.
    DAM. Missed that one
    thanks for the vid.

  • @Chris-hq7nl
    @Chris-hq7nl 7 лет назад

  • @gkol69
    @gkol69 7 лет назад +1

    Playing the reissue through the old speakers makes it get closer to the original's sound. But, maybe the reissue is just brand new and needs some years of (ab)use, because if you didn't have the original for reference it has a very good Marshall tone! Just sounds too "polished" compared to the old one. Cheers!

  • @marccarter1350

  • @RaymondSolo
    @RaymondSolo 7 лет назад

    67' sounds punchier...if thats a word? Also the 67' sounds a bit more detailed in the uper-mids. The 17' sounded about the same through the 67' speakers as it did through its own speakers, kinda dull. The 67' sounds better to me but what do I know, I've never even seen one of these in person much less played one.

  • @voxpathfinder15r
    @voxpathfinder15r 7 лет назад

    I am usually one of those persons that never hear a difference on these comparison videos - and I don't want to ever believe that the older vintage equipment can sound better than the newer stuff, especially with all the technology at our disposal - but god dammit!!!! The difference was so obvious, the vintage amp is clearly better. I thought the newer amp sounded better while plugged into the older speaker/cab - but I don't think it was quite 100% all the way there. Wish I could go back and time and grab one of these units while it was still brand spanking new and bring it back to see if it had the mojo - or does age really do something to these units?

  • @skunkproductionsMLA
    @skunkproductionsMLA 7 лет назад

    The 1967 IMO breathes better, has a spongier sound. The 2017 was stiff (maybe the speaker needs to be broken in) but overall I hear the 67 having more of that complex rich tone...

    • @JohanSegeborn
      @JohanSegeborn  7 лет назад

      +skunkproductionsMLA Thanks, yeah the 67 is hard to beat

  • @burns5297
    @burns5297 7 лет назад +1

    Wow... I definitely did not expect such a major difference. To my ears, the original sounds much, much better! I'm not usually to play the "vintage mojo" card, but in this case the tone is so different I can't help but wonder if there were significant revisions made to the circuit.

    • @JohanSegeborn

  • @SchreihalsFX
    @SchreihalsFX 7 лет назад +1

    Best demo ever shown to mankind!!!! I love the Bluesbreaker Combo sound - my personal favorite when it comes to Marshall. Using the old cab for the new amp was a great move. When driven the new one narrows a bit and pronounces a lot more upper mids it seems - that is the sound i perceived on two different headphones i used to listen to the clip. I wish i would have been in the room, listening to it in persona. Awesome demo - what a joy to listen to!

    • @JohanSegeborn
