I seriously enjoyed how much fun y'all were having. Thank you for that demo. I love Plexis. I don't have a true Marshall though, but I'll start saving up for next summer. I WILL GET THAT PLEXI!!!
Back in the the day, Marshall made Marshall Vintage Modern which is a modded JTM45 meets JCM800 on esteroids kind of amp. This amp was discontinued. Ahead of its time and people weren't prepared for the kind of amp. Now they make proper Marshall mods. The mods that everyone is asking for. And now this mods are official and original! Can I buy them all? Which I could! Nice video, Nice demo. You guys still rock! Thanks.
Deja vu... That pedalboard and room looked suspiciously familiar. Some fantastic tones in this video. I hope this breathes some new life into Marshall-the-amp-maker, a brand I would be sad to see disappear or be hollowed out like so many other brands these days.
I can not understand the hate surrounding "Studio 900." What is wrong with it? What alternative is available for a combo with two channels, separate master volumes, reverb controls per channel, a 12-inch speaker, and three power modes (20w/5w/1w)?
I'm extremely LUCKY! I have a 90's series Daul Rec and a SlO30. I've been down the Marshall trail. I'm not lost in the woods, but I'm through with the Marshall thing. Marshall are a bit late to the party. They sound great, good Job Marshall!
So, both master master and volume 1 on a 100watt plexi are above 8, and neither guy are wearing earplugs? Seems like there was also attenuation, no? Maybe the powerstation in the background? In the other NAMM videos there seems to be a Captor X in the mix too. Would be cooler to hear the amp as is, since everyone is talking about how good it sounds at low volumes via the master and mods.
The pricing for the modded amps is just silly. Nearly 2x the price of the base model for some fairly basic mods. The Friedman Plex at least has the built in variac, dc heaters and a nice post phase inverter master volume. Too little to expensive. Makes me wonder whether they held back for a version two and three. I hope they at least keep the base reissue amps around at their current prices.
What do you expect lol 😂 buy a Blackstar like I did! Doug from whitesnake and dead daisies has his own signature amp now with them or Jared James nichols
@@josearjona3728 umm yes way he has his own signature model with Blackstar now! Look up Blackstar DA100 ruby named after his daughter! Doug Aldrich it’s modeled after the ht stage 100 mkiii more boosted in the mids
No spring reverb, no switch footable preamp gain, no external power tube bias adjustment. Marshall is 20 years behind the curve… I’ll stick with an Orange or YJM 100
Still sounds like a muddy ol' JCM 800 to me... still totally lacks clarity... I'm not impressed at all. The 1959 sounds better but not what I would call great... Marshall is only 40 years late to the party, while companies like Friedman, Suhr and others have been kicking their ass for a long time now... I'm honestly embarrassed for them at this point... they need to stick to what they're good at and that's their classic style amps. Leave the boutique mods to the people that specialize in them... let me buy a regular 1959HW and send it to Dave Friedman to have it modded
I am a big marshall fan but man… i know that time have changed but i bought my ‘95 jcm900 4100 back in 2018 for 750€, the studio version is now 1169€, only 200 lower the 100w version. These amps are so pricy, i understand that it has a real spring reverb but why a price so much higher in comparison with the rest of studio series. Also the mod versions really cool but why so pricy. However very good amps
I bought one of Marshalls Dsl 100 and played 1 show with it. Next time I turned on it didnt work. I took it to my tech and he told me he had to resoilder a bunch of connections. I dont trust Marshalls quality control anymore.
Loose the damned pedals in the demo. Sounds like crap the way you’re playing it. Anyway, Marshall turning Chinese, no thanks. Get a vintage Marshall from ‘65 to ‘71 if you want hand wired. I’d say just buy a Friedman…they just released a “modified 1959” type amp. Phil X did a little demo at NAMM that sounded fantastic. Maybe Marshall should stick to making kitchen appliances.
Unfortunately Marshall is an already dead company without any new great idea. The best they did at Namm is to launch a new bunch of useless overdrive pedals that sounds like their most famous amps. Their product manager should be fired. Now.
How you mean dead? Just not making stuff for your taste? Marshall does entry level transistor amps and pedals to boutique handwired tube amps. Low watt till high Watt. From one channel till 4 channel amps. Seems very alive to me. If you don’t like Marshall just move on.
@daviddegagatem Sweetheart let me say that it's clear that the word "innovation" is not part of your extremely limited vocabulary. I wish you the best.
@@matteomidas638 1, I’m nobody’s sweatheart. 2, you can’t help you’re blunt. Sorry for you. 3, Millions of guitarplayers like Marshall in what they do. So let them. 4, who are you to decide who is innovative or not. Marshall has a huge range of different kind of amps, for a lot of people from low pricerange transistor amps till high end handwired tube amps. Enough innovating for me. I don’t expect moddeling amps from them.
oh my lord was sind das denn für glückskekse. Kann ich mir nicht angucken - wenn ich mit Freunden lachen will, dann geh ich zu meinen Kumpels, dafür brauch ich kein Toman. Sound ist der 08/15, den jeder hat. Preiswert und blöd.
Now a 20w JCM900 is almost the same price as a 100w JCM900. Come on man, and just to make it worse a used 100w 900 is nearly half the price. These studio amps are wayyyyyy too overpriced. In theory you'd hope a smaller version of a full size amp would be a lot cheaper and tbh they should be, it would sell well to new players or people who want an iconic marshall amp but can't afford a full size one.
Hi, depending on your country prices are gonna be different but here in Germany the 20w 900 is about 300€ cheaper than the 100w. It's also the loudest 20w you've ever heard, definitely enough for stage use, much lighter and smaller than the 100w and even (kinda) usable at low volumes. Except for stage volume no-breakup clean tones, which the 100w does better, I don't see why most people wouldn't want to save hundreds and get the more practical 20w one. At least you are allowed to crank the 20w on stage. The price is never is a straight relation with the wattage, also a 20w is almost as loud as a 100w... Cheers //Kris
@ThomannsGuitarsBasses over here in the UK, its a £100 difference which is absolutely not worth it. Sure wattage isn't directly linked to price difference, but is it really a £100 difference I mean come on.
Yeah that's what I mean, this is very different in some countries. In Europe the difference is reasonable, for you in the UK it's a little extreme, I agree. Cheers //Kris
I grew up on the 900 and toured for years with 1. I am adding this little head for sure. Sounds amazing.
I seriously enjoyed how much fun y'all were having. Thank you for that demo. I love Plexis. I don't have a true Marshall though, but I'll start saving up for next summer. I WILL GET THAT PLEXI!!!
It's just nice to see the fun department at work 👍😄
Suprised how good that Tele sounds through that 800 👍
The 800 sounds abso sick
@@theblueblanket2698
That's a little missinterpretation.
A Tele sounds always good!
;-)
That's not Tele but Chris is good!
Ich liebe Marshallamps…das bleibt bis zu meinem Ende so….und Marshall hat genau das richtige gemacht mit dieser Serie ❤️

Thanks for the great overview! It would be also nice to see “Studio 900 Combo” sound test.
The Friedman plex is great but man that is the dogs bollocks!
Marshall give us what we been asking for!
Okay open wide 😂

@ ok who else asked to drink from the firehose?
The vaseline is included just for you
... at a price ...
Amazing playing Krisz!
incredible video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY SOMEONE DID A REVIEW WITH LES PAUL .
i like the lunchbox one. lunchboxes are so good these days and huge amps so impractical if you want to move them from time to time
I'm extremely LUCKY! I have a 90's series Daul Rec and a SlO30. I've been down the Marshall trail. I'm not lost in the woods, but I'm through with the Marshall thing. Marshall are a bit late to the party. They sound great, good Job Marshall!
The mods added are just 3 toggle switches, some wire, a few resistors, caps and maybe diodes. 15 dollars in parts.
Make your own then.
Amp prices are simply out of control, no thanks
Man that modded plexi is something else… fuck now I want one. lol
5:30....Is the multifx completely distorted?? I don't believe that this amp Is so wacky in Palm muting
So, both master master and volume 1 on a 100watt plexi are above 8, and neither guy are wearing earplugs? Seems like there was also attenuation, no? Maybe the powerstation in the background? In the other NAMM videos there seems to be a Captor X in the mix too. Would be cooler to hear the amp as is, since everyone is talking about how good it sounds at low volumes via the master and mods.
👌🔥
JCM 800 MOD without foot or midi to control the MODs?
I cant understand that!

I agree, and I'm a Friedman owners... for the price they are asking for these, they honestly sounds like shit...
No spring reverb, no switch footable preamp gain, no external power tube bias adjustment. Marshall is 20 years behind the curve… I’ll stick with an Orange or YJM 100
You could buy a real vintage JCM 800 for that price - and they could have combined all 5 pedals into 1 and made it switchable between amps 🤔
Jose mod?
I think that the new Friedman amps have it
yes, Jose mods
Ich könnt mich echt nur schwer zwischen dem Plexi und dem 800er entscheiden :D
“Modded” Marshall no extra gain stage?
Äh, ich hab noch draht übrig ( hasendraht ) da kann man sich doch sicher selbst noch was reinlöten 😮
And where is it made? China,Vietnam?
England
plexi is HANDWIRED in England... as good as ANY handwired boutique amp from your favorite corksniffer brand...
SOSMARYOSEP! I didnt know your Cebuano Guil??
Ich hab den Original JCM900 als echt fürchterlich im Highgain in Erinnerung. Hier klingt er aber echt gut der kleine :)
Die 900er Serie ist mit das Schlimmste was M je hervorgebracht hat.
Another rich people only exclusive series …cool??
This is what we need in these times.
And guys, demo the amp, not the delay pedal!! 🙄
This modded plexi is such an antisocial amp 😁

Why have a bright cap and diode clipping and still have 3 inputs? Wasted space on the board that could’ve been used for other features.

And nobody trust you
This comment section is a shit storm 😂
No, the price is a shit storm.
Definitly a battlefield 😅
INstead of improving the original, let's release a modified version and charge twice the price.
I lv my 800 dont need a y mods
Don’t need to spell properly either huh?

The chinese company is an investment firm, nothing else.

The 20 watt JCM 900 studio is actually tweaked with less fizzy high end and is more modern sounding.
