1963 Marshall JTM45 at FULL VOLUME
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- From the very first year of production! Coffin Logo, split front panel. With Radiospares Deluxe Transformers. Played trough a 1960A and 1960B stack from 1970. Gibson Les Paul Standard 1959 Reissue.
It's like 50 years went by in the amp business for nothing... Still can't beat those tones
Philip Gregory Sougles funny how that works isn’t it...after all this time the only way they can achieve tones this good is by copying what they did 50 years ago and throwing new “innovations” out the window.
Even though the next best thing is low wattage valve amps, they’re only innovative because you can crank em with pissing people off, it’s still a 50 years old technique though 👌🏻
@@willkirby4805 I'm still unsure on this one. I think even 50 watters lack the low end punch the 100 watters make, let alone something 20 watts or less. I've only been buying 100 watters for the past several years even though I really don't crank them, they just sound bigger to my ears especially in how powerful the bass response is.
Still, they are definitely making some really cool mini heads these days. I'm dying to try out a Friedman Pink Taco.
The JTM45s were 99% direct Fender Tweed Bassman copy.
Victoria Amps makes The Sovereign which is equal to or better than any original. Ask me how I know.
1963 was a great year! That's the best amp ever and I was born ;P
Same here!
That's it! That's. The. Sound. "Marshall." "British." "Cranked Plexi." This is the amp sound in my head when I say or hear those words. I wish you could put it into a bottle. Or better yet, a pedal that worked with every amp! The Bassman was great, but this affirms the Marshall magic.
CNCTEMATIC The closest pedal is the Mad Professor Loud and Proud.
Thats the tone that gets EVERYONES attention. Even non musicians. Always has...always will. Pure rock n roll.
By the way, the scenic video on your video posts are fantastic. I've been trying to find a way to move there for more then a decade, and the scenes just make me want it so much more. I will have to admit Johan, sometimes I jam along with you, with the scenes playing is almost kinda inspirational....great work, please keep it up....
A truly beautiful sounding amplifier
Well ... Uff! Just when I begin to believe modern boutique amps (and a few non-boutiques) have finally matched the sounds of old vintage amps and think, "Nah, that whole vintage magic mojo thing is over-hyped ..." Boom!!! Here it is - twice. This one and that 59 Bassman. Really cool, Johan - thanks.
+Steve Folkes Thanks Steve! I agree :-)
Maybe in 50 years the boutique from now will sound this good! 🤔 lol
Thank you for posting this John. Without your videos, we wouldn't get to hear something like this, especially cranked. What a tone!! wow!! Congratulations on that great piece of Marshall history.
+goneflying140 Thanks! It's indeed a privilege to crank one of theses treasures!
Wow!!! Just the tone that Eric Clapton had with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers... I want one of this!!!
Thanks Francesco!
I find myself getting more addicted to the clean tones of Marshall’s, . but a hot tele bridge pickup (57) ripping through a cranked Marshall just has no equal., And is an unbreakable addiction
Amazing. Easily one of the best tones ever. Everything is right there, then people screw with it...
Such a great ‘just breaking-up tone’ at the 5 minute-mark! So expressive!
Absolutely beautiful Marshall tone. Thanks for sharing!
I keep watching this over and over again because it sounds so beautiful. Great recording and I appreciate the more subtle playing. It allows the dynamic response of the amp to be demonstrated!
+pgong You make my day! :-) Cheers Johan
Perfect production, great sound and music and love the views of Sweden, especially those of the wind in the long herbs, shaping nice waves...
+e. tienne Thanks! Glad to hear it :-)
Wikipedia is full of shit. It reckons the JTM45 doesn't have the Marshall "crunch". Hearing plenty of crunch in this video and on other 45 demo's. More crunch than a bag of doritos, they dont know what they're talking about. Nice sounds man.
+Steve Bell Thanks man, yeah they pack a good punch!
I've only been playing myself for five months, so I really dont know much about anything, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that the feedback at 1.30 was intentional and controlled very nicely. I would have been like a nervous chicken bopping around wondering which ufo was trying to beam me up, but you stepped out of it nice and calm. I kind of appreciated that. It was quite an atmospheric sound controlled well.
I've been using a lot of tube amp sims lately. I know it's not the same thing but they have at least helped me to understand why tone junkies exist and what they're after because up to a point I wasn't getting it. The other night I experienced what felt like dynamic response for the first time after playing around with some eq and cab settings and I think that feel is just as valuable as tone. In fact I get the feeling that when people talk about tone, they're also referring to dynamic response. It felt glorious to me, and that was only an amp sim so I'll bet you get a feeling like nothing else when you play through that thing. If nothing else amp sims have helped me to get "it", and video's like this help me to appreciate it. Really enjoyed this video.
I've got a JTM45 Reissue and a JVM410, the JTM45 will definitely do the old Marshall crunch, just make sure you've got ear plugs (holy friggin loud in my 2x12). I'm buying a Celestion Gold for my 1x12 to see if I can get that old sound at a (somewhat) more reasonable volume :-)
Ya need to play with super high wattage amps on full for a bit, that feedback didn't seem intentional but its easy once you play around with it for awhile
not a fair comment.
OMG!!!! It's a gentle beast!! I love the "i wanna be bad, but my heart is too pure" saturation of this amp! Great! Cheers from Brazil!!
+André Carvalho Thanks :-) Cheers from Gothenburg Sweden!
Oh my that is a thing of beauty! What an incredible sounding amp!
Thanks Ralph!
Great demo, and love the New Zealand t-shirt! :)
+Dany Wu Thanks! :-)
that amp is fuckin magical. I've never heard a tone that heavenly.
Came for the Marshall. Stayed for the beach sunset.
+FastRedPonyCar hahaha makes me glad :-)
What do the neighbors say? I mean about the full-volume tests not the beach sunsets ;-) I'm sure they love the sunsets....LOL! Great review as ALWAYS.....tone to die for....
I have said this before but I will say it again. im very impressed with not only the sound of these Gem Amplifiers but also your technical skills in reproducing the sound from an engineers standpoint. IE- your recording experience. Mic placement is key and you are a professional at it.
+chuck jones Thanks Chuck! I really appreciate that.
Amen ! This guy is creating an online museum for years to come.
I concur. Add to that the wonderfully crafted videos giving us an ethereal tour of Sweden! And, his playing is so perfectly suited to the amps - if I was in the same room I'd probably say "that's OK, you play it I'd rather just listen." Not really hahahahaha!
that is CRUNCH!!!!!!!!! yeah back again for this. love it! you rock, Johan.
Killer video! You play so smooth and tasty! This amp and cab sounds like it's coming from heaven!!! Those old amps just sound so good! With a great player like yourself that equals sonic Bliss!
+Jimmie Marchisotto Thanks Jimmie! So glad to hear it. Cheers
I stumbled upon your channel while researching amps and speakers.This blew me away and I just gotta say, you rock man! Thanks!
What an auditory experience! One of your finest recordings in my opinion.
+Ernesto Del Baño Thanks Ernesto! Glad you like it. Cheers
Easily one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard. Thanks for the videos you post. I really enjoy getting to hear all these great amps played the way they sound the best. Loud!
Ahhh man after watching your videos I really came to understand how early Marshall tones were a copy yet has that extra something else on the 59 bassman... magic
the drive of vintage amps sounds so pure and natural. how is it possible that modern amps for thousands of dollars don't even come near that?....
Never clicked so fast on a new video, sounds awesome, pure holy rock tone. Good job Johan
I hope your realize that you're our hero!!!!
About Sweden - In the late '90s, I visited Goteborg on my way back to the US from a business trip Germany and Switzerland. I drove up to Trollhattan to visit my automotive Mecca and enjoyed that part of Sweden greatly. It really reminded me of the US State of Wisconsin.
+BB2009LZ Thanks :-) you make me blush! :-) So did you visit SAAB/GM in Trollhättan? I work at Volvo myself!
Hi, I did. They were just changing over model years and weren't giving public tours, but I had prearranged it through Saab USA and ended up being rewarded with a 1.5 hour one-on-one tour of the factory. The 9_5 wagon was just going into production, which I wasn't supposed to see, but I did and was quite thrilled! I always wanted a Volvo 960 wagon, but never bought one.
Couldn't justify the cash for an original so I bought a reissue and have set it stop a 1960TV cabinet - its beautiful growls and breakup are sent from the heavens. Thank you for the high standards of your videos. Great sounds and explanation of the gear you're using in each and every one of the vids. Thank you Johan
Thank you Pete Townshend for wanting to be loud and bringing the idea of the stack to life through your need to be heard!
It's amazing that old soldier works as good as it does. Sounds great, very sweet tone. Thanks for that J!
+Trainwreckontario Thanks! Yeah amazing quality
Always love watching your videos, so good to see these classic amps sounding great and played properly!
+hardrockerdave94 Thanks Dave! Glad to hear it. Cheers!
Thanks Johan. Appreciate your tasty riffing in a sea of gear demos seemingly aimed at establishing the poster's "street cred" as a chops monster. I want to hear the gear, not an endless cascade of blazing scales. Johan takes his time and enjoys! Love it.
+Richard Hessian Thanks! So glad to hear it. I am really trying to play the sound of the amp rather than the riff. Cheers Johan
Unrelated "aside": in National Park, New Jersey -- a small town right next to the town I grew up in (Thorofare, NJ; part of the township of West Deptford, NJ) -- one of the main roads is "Hessian Avenue," named for the German mercenary soldiers who fought in the British side in the Revolutionary War. National Park is so named because of "Red Bank Battlefield" memorial park where a Revolutionary War battle took place in December 1777. Wish I had a dollar for every time we rode our bikes up and down Hessian Avenue going to and from friends' houses, etc., as it was about half a mile from our house... My grammar school was on that road, too!
Now that's some badass tone... Always a pleasure to listen to that glorious cranked Marshall/ Gibson sound. And sadly there are those that believe their Line 6 Spider IV is the greatest amp ever built.
+Wendell Laffin Yeah, ignorance is bliss :-)
Man your demos are great!!! You let us hear awesome amp legends! Thanks! Greetings from Mexico! ;-)
+CARLOS GALVEZ MUSIC Thanks Carlos! Greetings from Sweden!
I think this might be the best sounding amp I've ever heard in my life!! Oh yea, great, tasteful playing too!
+jbl5050 Thanks! Glad to hear it. Cheers
For me this is THE BEST MARSHALL SOUND !!!! AMAZING!!!
+cgarciaad Thanks! Yeah this amp is smooth and aggressive at the same time! Cheers Johan
Magic when you hit that A chord. Unbelievable sounds coming from that amp.
+J HsFiftyOneFifty thanks, yeah this amp is unreal :-)
Talk about dynamic and touch sensitive! That amp sounds amazing!
Thanks, I loved it too!
WOW, that amp sounds amazing! I don't know how you keep coming up with these incredible amps to demo. Thanks, good job!
+pupstop1 Thanks! The collectors I'm working with does a great job :-)
The perfect balance of overdrive and clarity...all right there at the fingertips.
This is definently an amp thats on my bucket list. Can't wait for the comparison!
+Lars Sig Thanks Lars!
Yeah, sooo much work and investigation that you do!!!!! Great help to all of us, as always, man the neighbours must REALLY love you!!!!! Lol.
One word - SIZZLE! Amazing sound considering amps back then were engineered for clean tones and not distortion.
+jhs5150 Thanks! Yeah A great solution to the wrong problem ;-)
Yep distortion got all tangled up heavy metal, not what these amps were originally designed for, although it didnt exist yet. Still what a monster platform for the greatest shit youve ever heard.......Sonic Temple.
So good....don't know what else to say. Your videos are fantastic. Just can't get enough, keep doing them, you make my life better !!!!
+Kelster Von Shredster That's so good to hear man!! Cheers!
Pretty rare we ever get to hear the Marshall that started it all. What a collectors amp, thanks for making the video, Hard to believe you could have this tone in the early to mid 60s,
If the amp is yours congratulations, I am impressed!!
+surfnorthwest1 No, it's not mine.
That tone is certainly something special Johan and you did a fantastic job of capturing it for us to enjoy. Just need to win the lottery now...!
This is one amazing sounding head/cab combo, wish the re-issues sounded like these (although the cabinet and the player have alot to do with it). Thanks Johan!
+Paul Laughton Thanks Paul! :-)
Great demo. If I ever wondered if Marshall was always cool now I know. First year run and a fantastic sound. No small feat for any company doing anything.
+Alexander ”'Xander'” Sack Thanks Xander!
Man I could listen to that all day long....
+nitemunky76 Thanks, glad to hear it!
the tone vacillates between aweome and epic throughout the video
+Kelly Jackson Thanks Kelly! :-)
It's unreal how good that thing sounds!
+martymcfly002 Thanks! It is indeed :-)
The Marshall JTM45 is the best Amp in the World and this ist the best version of it
You always have the best Tone and pretty sweet playing has a nostalgic sound
+Mark B Thanks! Really glad to hear that. Cheers Johan
Awesome sound! I would definitely say it is better than any JCM I've ever tried/heard.
+R. Rizki Thanks! :-)
Love the low break-up cleans on this one. Shimmery but in a distinctly UK way.
+CaptPostmod Thanks! I do too. Indeed a distinct UK tone.
Once again tone to die for in your videos...Love watching all your videos! Great playing and just great stuff.
First year and they sound incredible.....perfection
Oh my lord! That is an incredible sound - even more amazing that you've got a hold of one from such an early stage of production. Look forward to the comparison between it and the other 7 :)
+Joseph Quinlan Thanks! Glad to hear it
I think this is probably one of the best sounding amps that you have shown on RUclips!
+Steven Babcock Thanks Steven! I agree :-)
That amp shroud is awesome for that year LOOKS amazing!!! of course sounds amazing as well
Geez, Johan. That is one gorgeous sounding, furry, son of a thing. Just magic. Thanks for sharing it with us.
+Chris ACT Thanks! My pleasure :-)
Damn what a monster. A legend was born
absolutely love your RIFFS and MARSHALL
love from india
Very nice. Not quite a Bassman, but a "Marshall" version of one of the greatest tones ever. I have to be honest, I'm loving this so damn much.....
Jim Marshall and "friends" had such a good taste in styling their amplifiers. So cool to see the progress from the offsets to this and then to the final '65/'66 JTM45 Heads.
So good looking, this untouchable sexyness.
Love Marshalls so much \m/
Don't need to mention that it sounds killer, do I?!
+Marshall Voodoo :-) Thanks!
I'm digging the groovy 60's tryptich film vibe you have created here. As usual the amp sounds amazing along with your playing.
+leftyfusion88 Thanks, that's great to hear! Cheers Johan
Very Nice ! And it's always sweet to have videos of suede landscapes at the same time :)
+Guillaume V. Thanks man! Glad to hear it :-) Cheers
I have a JTM45 reissue, and i like the sound, even if it's not the same components in it
A AMP LIKE THAT COULD MAKE A BLUES ROCK GUITAR PLAYER FAMOUS. Marshall did it right the first time.
that sounds incredible. so dynamic
+neptune sundial Thanks, yeah it's so responsive :-)
My favorite by far. Just beautiful.
+Mike Barry Yeah that's an amazing amp
Johan, allt är fantastiskt: tonen, licksen, uppmickning, produktion. Underbart, ett nöje att se och lyssna! 🙌🙌
+JonasSweden1 Tack Jonas! Grymt gott att höra.
You have a wonderful collection!
thanks for playing it the right way
My current short term goal is to play a full stack at some point. I am fascinated by the idea of that much noise.
+Diax1324 It's like driving a buss ;-)
Marshall + Gibson =
+Luiz Aro so true! :-)
So cool that you bring these vintage amps sounds to us Johan thanks for that! I sent you a message on youtube, please take a look when you can. Cheers!
I have a lot amps - The new JTM45 is my no. 1 - It needs a little time to get the boy in the way i want it - However its my no. 1 - This one is super amazing, what a fucking great amp!!! Now this video is on my Marshall JTM45 page on facebook. Great job, great amp
+MCharlesJohn B Thanks Charles! I appreciate it!
Nothing much like the sound of some tubes cooking. Great sound.
+marc carter Thanks Marc!
Outstanding as always my friend!
+Blake Coster Thanks bro!
A real joy to watch your videos! Thanks!!
+Bosse Ignell Thanks Bosse! Glad to hear it. Cheers
Beautiful tones. So smooth.
+xMasterxRazorx Thanks :-)
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST FUCKING GUITAR AMP TONES EVER!!! AND YOUR PLAYING IS KILLER! THANK U FOR THE DEMO!!!
+James Latimer Thanks my friend! Really good to hear that!
The sound that changed rock!
Wooo! Damn, is that hot! You are a lucky, lucky man, Johan! That is among the best tones I've heard in a long time. Pure 60s Marshall full stack JTM tone.
(Indiana Jones voice: "It belongs in a museum!" lol)
I own the combo version of the JTM45 212 - it originally belonged to Roy Orbison, and it is the FIRST Marshall in America.
Thanks so much for posting this. It sounds so great and your playing is excellent.
+Jim Copeland Thanks Jim! I'm really glad to hear it. Cheers
Love to hear the settings on this one. Immaculate playing, Johan!
+Piranha Tweed Thanks! All knobs were maxed but bass that was close to zero for the gainer riffs. For the semi clean tone all knobs were at 12 O clock. Cheers
incredible man...wow..
+Yul Vazquez Thanks Yul
Now the baby is out! JTM Studio…..comparison please 🙏🏾….✌🏾❤️🎸
Now those are some hunks of iron sittin on there! Some big- ass transformers, that head must weigh quite a bit! Sounds great, too.
I could never afford vintage classics , other than Traynor, of course. So I started building them over the last year. I've done a hot rod deville conversion ( bassman/plexi type thing) a tmb marhsall 18 watt, a cascaded jcm800, a tweed deluxe, a tweed princeton, a trainwreck express,..About to start my 8th amp with 5 more planned. I'm going to convert a marshall origin 50 to a jtm50 , a single ended 5 watt jtm , my second trainwreck express, a dumble 5e3, on and on.. an obsession is born.
awesome as always fantastic amps Fantastic player. . Rock on!
+Brandon Hupp Thanks bro!
My gawd what a great tone! I own a ‘64 Silver logo JTM45
Did someone steal that thing from a museum! Absolutely incredible
What an iconic tone beast! give us some more demos of this setup!
great film. like the threeway split!!! great upload thx!
+John Toth Thanks my friend!
Wow Johan hun I'm amazed how touch sensitive that amplifier is and how good the tone is! It's not too broken up like some other Marshalls are the detail and the clarity is still very good even under overdrive! I think this might be my favorite amp of all time that in the 59 fender basement!
Sounds wonderful! Enjoyed the video production on this one as well. Thank You!
+Erik Ross Thanks Erik! Cheers!
