In a Jake E Lee mood for this one? Jake stuff is great. P.S. This has rapidly become one of my favourite guitar channels. Nice wide mix of lessons, good playing, info on how to do stuff, and gear talk.
Thanks to your reviews I(Much to the dismay of my wife :-D ) just ordered a JCM800 studio and a Bugera powersoak... Your channel is almost as brilliant as your playing.
You guys will be amazed that the $500 DSL20HR keeps up with all three of these. Not that I wouldn't want all three. Great sounding amps for sure. I use IRs.
I agree. I have all three of these and the DSL20HR. The SC is the least versatile and it's tone can be gotten easily with the SV. My favs are the SV and DSL. They cover it all!
Oh wow, your riffs are catchy as! One of the best comparison videos I’ve seen of these amps simply because your playing rocks so hard! I’m getting the JCM800 version but it was close between that and the SV20H. You’ve inspired me! ✌️
Man, I can’t pick which I like the most!! All sound great. The SD-1 really is an underrated overdrive too. Low cost but great tones. Great playing Euge!
Thanks JC! Yeah they’re all great but if I had to choose it’d be: 800, Plexi, Jube It is. I’ve been using one since early 90s and haven’t found better 😎.
Fantastic demo and comparison. FInally someone who shows off the crunch but lead tones as well with and w/o pedals. Oh, and someone who can actually play, and plays damn great! This is a real demo. So, in closing, I would say I like the Plexi, the 800, and the Jubilee the best....."Hello, Sweetwater.........
Mini 800 all the way, but I have to admit that Mini Plexi sounds fantastic. Awesome playing and awesome song as always. Thank you for taking the time to play all 3. 👍🤘🤘
The plexi and 800 tied for 1st place….the jube is close 2nd; all 3 are great!!! These are cool little amps, Marshall hit a home run with this mini series…. -ROCK ‘N’ ROLL-
like it because it deserves. don't look without liking. I was undecided between the 3 magazines but now I am more convinced to take the jubilee because with 2 channels it is more versatile. I have already ordered musical instruments from Thomann. Thank you so much. a greeting from Catania Sicily
Great job! Amazing playing. I have that Silver Jubilee head with the matching cabinet, and I really love it. I don’t think you can go wrong with these heads; I could get along well with any one of these.
Wow , i really like the boosted Plexi sound !!! The JCM800 is also great , but i like the Plexi more , it has that something ! I think with a big 50 watt Plexi (1987x) will be able to get even more low end punch and even more depth in sound ! The 20 watts heads , because of the small output and power transformers they have , will always sound brighter and without too much low end compared to the 50 watt or 100 watt models . Great clip ! \m/
Nice to see you using the TH-U. That plugin is a amazing. I use the real amps through a torpedo studio, and then into TH-U for the delay and reverb. Nice to have the option of the real amps but man those Overloud guys know what they are doing.
There is a problem with your videos. If you decide to use walkie-talkie as an amp, it would probably sound great :). Good work, absolutely my favorite guitar gear channel.
Fantastic! Honestly didn't hear much of a difference.. with SD1 in front they all sound pretty close to each other but like the plexi more. Keep going! Love your channel! Greetings from Brazil!
Hmm, interesting before I listened thought I'd prefer the Plexi. I guess I should have known by the fact that many of the albums I love the most, both from metal to indie ... are JCM800. And it shows, I prefer that. But I did love the more vocal / piercing violin like tones of the Plexi too. A Plexi is like a Telecaster, needs a guitarist as good as you to make it really sing. The Jubilee was nice enough, and I think they have nice warm but pristine cleans, unlike the Plexi. But don't think I'd buy a Plexi. So now for me, think it's between the Studio JTM and the JCM800. For my style of music, I lean more toward JTM. But that JCM800 is an awesome amp. If I was playing heavier styles, that would be my choice.
Sorry for a years late comment! I must say that the 100w JCM’s punch is fucking unbeatable, listen when the player play unchained. I have the studio version, pretty similar sounds but less punchy.
To tell you the truth I think the Plexi sounds the best with your signature guitar and the type of licks and riffs you were playing, hard driving metal the JCM SC20H really adds that sonic bombast!
Thanks! Yeah I’ve heard that a lot but to be honest I’m a bit bored to hear that ZW comparison; it’s just the way I’ve always played but I guess it is what it is 🤷😎. But I do like his playing a lot 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Maybe Zakk got influenced by you than haha :) Anyways, it was a compliment on your playing, and I figured you like his style and sound since I see a Marshall ZW signature head in the background. I hope to find one of those one day myself. I already have a Boss SD-1 so it's a start haha! You should definitely try to find the Kerry King signature head also if you ever have the chance. It's a true beast.
just spent the last month watching zakk wylde/BLS video's etc and stumbled across your channel after 13yrs of not playing due to a irritated nerve ending in my neck and a badly snapped left wrist.. I LOVE THIS SOUND..! I think i might try and play again..yeew
@@EugeValovirta230V it killed me to put the guitar down for good..we all know what playing gives to us in this crazy world.. your lucky enough to have the talent to make it your job/life..things can change in a heartbeat euge so don't forget to be grateful... write a song about how not being able to play guitar ever again would effect you......in the meantime keep jamming👍..
5:53 ..feeling like a space brain one more time tonight.. I saw that sly grin, Euge !! Right on, brutha !! Great Video, I love the tones. They all sound amazing in their own way. But,,,,,,,, no matter what amp you play, it still always sounds like you and that, my Pal, is a huge, massive, hats off to you compliment. Play Loud and Rock On 🔥💪🤘 PS: I watched the Plexi song again and you were really in the zone. You blasted, you burned, and you gave me chicken skin ( goose bumps ) and made the fur rise 👏👏
@@EugeValovirta230V - All in the hands. I know it, Man. I've met players all over that purchase the new latest and greatest bad boy $$$$ guitar and the most expensive amp money can buy and massive boutique pedalboard.

I know this mentality isn't very popular but it's the truth. Thanks for saying it. 🤙
Nice video, they all sound awesome. Perhaps the only addition that would have been nice at the conclusion area, is having you demo the song playing with only the amps, but edit the video to flip thru the amps during the song, then the viewers can REALLY get an idea of tone difference. I accomplished the same thing by jumping back and forth thru the video, but having it already done woulda been much nicer! You talk to the camera pretty quiet heh.
Yeah I thought about that but then I’d have had to record a DI signal and reamp and in general I’m not that big fan of that ’cos you don’t get the vibe of the amp (as a player) and getting the vibe is a huge part of the playing. At least for me 😎. Or I could’ve edited the separate takes together but then the playing would’ve been a bit odd I guess ’cos they’d have been, well, separate takes with separate amps 😊. Oh really? I tried to mix the voice and guitar audio to about the same levels in Final Cut but maybe I tend to have the guitar always louder ’cos who likes their own voice anyways 😁.
I think maybe the 800 sounds best out of these mini studio heads. What I think I'm hearing is the 800 sounds most focused w not too big of bottom which in my mind seems it would fit in a mix better without EQing after the fact. The studio plexi I like too but seems a little less exciting and probably too loud and have to use attenuator and I have those problems w my 50 watt already so I'd just use that. This studio classic 800 gets the tone good at lower volumes and thats what I need. The silver jube was cool too but a little more hairy and maybe too much bottom. I did like the tone cleaned up on the neck pickup w the Jube. Thanks for the demo.
I have the mini Plexi...using it nice and full and clean - normal channel and getting the tones from JHS' pedals (Angry CHarlie and AT+), will buy soon a Friedman BE OD Deluxe...the amp is Killer sounding with pedals if you cannot turn it up. Best review on youtube with these 3 amps!!!
This is the first video I've seen of yours and man it was awesome. I am hem-hawwing between a few amps and this helped a lot. But to be honest after watching your playing which was absolutely f'ing fantastic I am all fired up and am going to go play some guitar and stop shopping for stuff hahaha. Thanks!!!
Awesome demo dude. That 800 is the tone I hear as classic rock/metal that can go back to cover UFO up to Scorpions, to classic Anthrax to Zakk. What more could you wish for. Awesome playing dude. Love it. What wah pedal are you using dude, because the sweep is really nice?
Plexi for the win for me but that’s an opinion! Brings back happy memories of when I used to have my 1980 modded 1959 spl with cascaded pre amp section and the few times I actually managed to get to crank it which was very seldom 😭😭😭😭
Euge Valovirta I’m thinking mabey its time to save just 20€ per week and get an sv20h from Santa and from 2022 > get some Marshall tones going...! Your heavy tones are very inspiring to the point of me thinking fuck all this clean ish on the edge of brake up tones I’ve been chasing and struggling with for the past few years due to not being able to crank up clean amps enough to make them work and just go back to Marshall crunch and just have guitar singing at reasonable gig volume and in the process actually find my own sound rather than chasing someone else’s tone!
That could be the way to go 💪👌. Yeah there isn’t really any point to try to sound like someone else ’cos that’s pretty much impossible ’cos we all have our own hands that we play with and those two are the biggest factors on anybody’s sound. At least in my experience 👌.
Hey man I really like everything you do on the channel. I have a question. I have a Jvm410h and use it to play rock and pop covers live in clubs without PA (PA only for Vocals) I pair it with a 2x12 cab with V30's. Do you think the Mini Jubilee will do the job with the same cab? It wont be Mic'ed and our drummer is loud. But I can never use my JVM past 3 on volume. I love the JVM versality with the different channel so Im very confused if I need another amp or not.
Thanks man! Glad to hear! If you like your amp I’d just get an attenuator to tame it down and be able to crank the master. Bugera Power Soak is cheap but does the job fairly well: ruclips.net/video/ndENZ8Zw8N8/видео.html St.Rock React:IR has also an awesome attenuator (probably the best I’ve tried): ruclips.net/video/7sFIkI7_DK4/видео.html Those 20watt Marshalls are really loud so I’d use an attenuator with them, at least in a smaller venue: ruclips.net/video/Eyc9wTPERzg/видео.html
The Jub sounds most scooped of the 3. The Sykes-riffs sound best with the Jub! I like the 800 best, the Vintage has a little too much fluffy bass..... Or am I wrong? Ow, I didn't mind listening to the song 3 times!! It's awesome! Cheers
You have to really crank the mids on a Jubilee to something around 8 or so on most of them, then it has those same juicy mids as the 800 and Plexi. It has a quite unusual EQ compared to the other classic Marshalls and is quite a bit brighter by "default" settings.
This is great Euge, and demonstrates the most important impact is the playing, after that it's just personal preference. For me that would be the plexi and the 800, but the jubilee is great too. When does any Marshall fail?
Thanks! Standard stoptail but I have Evertune on one ESP which I use every now & then. Mainly when I need to record multiple guitar parts / harmonies / wide chords etc. I actually recorded most of the rhythm gtr tracks on Cyhra’s latest album ’No Halos In Hell’ with an Evertune equipped guitar 😎👌.
Great video man. All 3 amps sound fantastic, but I felt the SJ was a bit buried in the mix. It definitely lacks a bit of that Marshall upper mids character. Was it challenging EQing the SJ?
Great video as always my friend, they are all great "not surprisingly ". I would probably lean towards the 800 as they have always been my favorite but they are all great amplifiers. 👍🤘
It is hilarious watching you demo these now. In my recent quest over the past months to decide whether these were any good and if they sound anything like the real thing, I came across your channel and it was the sound of your 'real' amps - the 800s, JVM etc that put me off ever buying one of these 20W ones. They just don't have the mojo that your big amps do.
Yes I agree! Probably I am too used to 100 waters. Alas I just don't like these 20w, in my opinion in no review do they sound convincing. I bought a Mesa 5 25 head instead which seemed way more large sounding for its 25w than it ought to.
Its the hands!!!! Lol......Love the writing. You and i write very similar, next time im in your neck of the woods, we'll write a song!!!! Lol... Awesome as always great tone Euge!!!!
In the real world probably the jcm 800 is the more usable, the plexi has to be kept at high volumes to get that sound (the best sound of the lot in my opinion)
Thanks! Oh I am. This is just hobby I do when I have time from touring, making music, producing, recording & mixing . - cyhra.com/ - www.eugevalovirta.com/ - suburbantribe.fi/
Euge, you’re 🎸playing never ceases to amaze me and constantly has me practicing more….I’ve been wondering for a while now what sounds more like the Bad Boy in the room the studio series JCM 800 , or the Blug iridium?
Thanks! It’s been quite a while since I did this video and played with the Studio series amps (I borrowed them from a local music store MusiX) but the AMP1 Iridium is so close, feel & tone wise that I’d say that 🤟.
Great stuff! The funny thing is that SJ can come as close as you like to have it to both, Plexi and 800 just by playing around with pots. Not to mention it is a proper 2 channel amp 😉 I own 2555X and it sounds just stunning, just like a roaring Marshall 800, Plexi with mids/hights level as you would expect from it. Even without SD1 which consumes a little bit some of Marshall clarity and edge. Again, great job here mate.
@@EugeValovirta230V Euge, I'm looking for an affordable but still good attenuator - I'd like to run it over my SJ 2555X and VM 2466 (another great Marshall!). What could you recommend?
I used to use a Bugera (can’t remember the model now) for a while before I bought the St:Rock (which is the best I’ve wver tried / used) and it did the job just fine I think.
If you can only have one which one would it be the Jubilee 20 watt or the 20 watt 800. Does the 20 Watt 800 sound close to the hundred watt version? Which One out of the three did you like the best
Giday mate, from Australia love your channel your an awesome player. I was wondering if these 20w amps would keep up with a drummer in a band situation or would have to be miced up?
PLEXI was best for sure and the JCM 800 was very good sounding. The Jubilee surprisingly got lost in the mix with the band. I had an original 50 watt head when they first came out and LOVED it. Still wish I had never sold it.
Hi Euge , Great playing, and very helpful video. My choice in your vids, Plexi. I do have an SC20H (JCM800) for 4 hour, and return it. I change it for an SV20h and i’m very happy with my choice. For me the 800 ( and all the 800 that i have before) sound way too bright for my taste. I have try to like the 800 (had four of them) but it doesn’t do it for me.I prefer the warmer tone of the plexi. I play just my guitar with no back track , or with a band. Maybe in the mix or in live situation is where the 800 shines, but for what i do, a plexi with a good overdrive is the best 80S Rock tone you can get. I play mostly, Ratt, EVH, Jake E Lee ,Randy Rhoads(Ozzy).
Hi Euge.. Is the Marshall studio vintage a killer amp for early Van Halen sounds? I' ll buy one next month. Please let me know and thanks from Austria Chris!🤟🔥🤟
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks so much.. Please is it possible to make a video from the marshall studio vintage with early Van Halen Riffs or Licks because you are the Rockstar!👏👏👏👏🤟🔥🤟🔥 That would be great.. Thanks soooo much Chris!
You’re welcome man! Unfortunately no since I borrowed all the Studio series amps from local music store MusiX and don’t have them anymore but I have my 1987X which is a 50 watt Plexi so I’ll add this to my to do - list 😎👌.
Not sure what's more impressive, these amps or his playing. He makes all these amps sound like Rockstars.
🙏🤟☺️
Yeah he’s the real deal
To be fair yet again your hands/ears/talents really Make these amps sing!
Thanks Billy! Yeah I tend to sound myself no matter the gear I’m using 😎.
The Silver Jube and JCM would make an almost perfect recording rig. Great demo!

Man... you did an excellent job. Really like your videos, man. Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏼
Thanks! 🙏
Awesome demo dude. That 800 is the tone I hear as classic rock/metal that can go back to cover UFO up to Scorpions, to classic Anthrax to Zakk. What more could you wish for. Awesome playing dude. Love it. What wah pedal are you using dude, because the sweep is really nice?
Thanks!
Can’t remember what I used on this one but one of these: Dunlop Hendrix, Fulltone Clyde Deluxe or Dunlop Petrucci 👌.
Hello Euge, thanks for your videos.
Thanks man! You’re welcome 👌.
They all sound awesome in their own way, i’d go with the jcm800 though since i can’t afford all three hehe.
Exactly. 800 is my favourite also.
hey Euge, do the chrome or gold finish emgs have more treble or high end in their sound than a regular emg?///
Not in my experience.
Always a badass intro !
Thanks!
Plexi for the win for me but that’s an opinion! Brings back happy memories of when I used to have my 1980 modded 1959 spl with cascaded pre amp section and the few times I actually managed to get to crank it which was very seldom 😭😭😭😭
😁💪👌
Euge Valovirta I’m thinking mabey its time to save just 20€ per week and get an sv20h from Santa and from 2022 > get some Marshall tones going...! Your heavy tones are very inspiring to the point of me thinking fuck all this clean ish on the edge of brake up tones I’ve been chasing and struggling with for the past few years due to not being able to crank up clean amps enough to make them work and just go back to Marshall crunch and just have guitar singing at reasonable gig volume and in the process actually find my own sound rather than chasing someone else’s tone!
That could be the way to go 💪👌.
Yeah there isn’t really any point to try to sound like someone else ’cos that’s pretty much impossible ’cos we all have our own hands that we play with and those two are the biggest factors on anybody’s sound. At least in my experience 👌.
Pepita can't really stop dancing to such a song \m/
No he can’t 🕺😎
Hey man I really like everything you do on the channel. I have a question. I have a Jvm410h and use it to play rock and pop covers live in clubs without PA (PA only for Vocals) I pair it with a 2x12 cab with V30's. Do you think the Mini Jubilee will do the job with the same cab? It wont be Mic'ed and our drummer is loud. But I can never use my JVM past 3 on volume. I love the JVM versality with the different channel so Im very confused if I need another amp or not.
Thanks man! Glad to hear!
If you like your amp I’d just get an attenuator to tame it down and be able to crank the master. Bugera Power Soak is cheap but does the job fairly well: ruclips.net/video/ndENZ8Zw8N8/видео.html
St.Rock React:IR has also an awesome attenuator (probably the best I’ve tried): ruclips.net/video/7sFIkI7_DK4/видео.html
Those 20watt Marshalls are really loud so I’d use an attenuator with them, at least in a smaller venue: ruclips.net/video/Eyc9wTPERzg/видео.html
You make them all sound amazing but I like the cut and bark of the the 800 the best.
💪🙏😎
The Jub sounds most scooped of the 3. The Sykes-riffs sound best with the Jub! I like the 800 best, the Vintage has a little too much fluffy bass..... Or am I wrong? Ow, I didn't mind listening to the song 3 times!! It's awesome! Cheers
I agree with you 😎💪.
You have to really crank the mids on a Jubilee to something around 8 or so on most of them, then it has those same juicy mids as the 800 and Plexi. It has a quite unusual EQ compared to the other classic Marshalls and is quite a bit brighter by "default" settings.
Amazing Euge!!!! regards from Chile!! beautifull sound!! great amps!!!
Many thanks!!
This is great Euge, and demonstrates the most important impact is the playing, after that it's just personal preference. For me that would be the plexi and the 800, but the jubilee is great too. When does any Marshall fail?
Thanks!
Basically never in my experience 😎.
Jcm900
Amazing as always Euge !! 🤘🏼 Do you prefer the stoptail or the evertune bridge on your eclipses ?
Thanks!
Standard stoptail but I have Evertune on one ESP which I use every now & then. Mainly when I need to record multiple guitar parts / harmonies / wide chords etc. I actually recorded most of the rhythm gtr tracks on Cyhra’s latest album ’No Halos In Hell’ with an Evertune equipped guitar 😎👌.
Great video man. All 3 amps sound fantastic, but I felt the SJ was a bit buried in the mix. It definitely lacks a bit of that Marshall upper mids character. Was it challenging EQing the SJ?
Thanks! Nope.
Great video as always my friend, they are all great "not surprisingly ". I would probably lean towards the 800 as they have always been my favorite but they are all great amplifiers. 👍🤘
Thanks Dan! I agree 👌.
It is hilarious watching you demo these now.
In my recent quest over the past months to decide whether these were any good and if they sound anything like the real thing, I came across your channel and it was the sound of your 'real' amps - the 800s, JVM etc that put me off ever buying one of these 20W ones.
They just don't have the mojo that your big amps do.
These are great but there is a reason why a 100w Marshall is...well...a 100w Marshall 💪🔥😎.
Yes I agree! Probably I am too used to 100 waters. Alas I just don't like these 20w, in my opinion in no review do they sound convincing. I bought a Mesa 5 25 head instead which seemed way more large sounding for its 25w than it ought to.
👌💪😎
Great Song,awesome playing 😍very groovy! 🤘🥳😀
Thanks Luk!
Awesome review! A good player can really draw out each amplifiers sound. Plexi for me.
Thanks!
Its the hands!!!! Lol......Love the writing. You and i write very similar, next time im in your neck of the woods, we'll write a song!!!! Lol... Awesome as always great tone Euge!!!!
Indeed 💪.
Thanks Jimmy! Sounds cool! (And hopefully will 😊)
Have the plexi in the snake skin edition its really awesome and loud!!
Cool! 💪🔥❤️
SILVER JUBILEE for me!
Prefer 800 for Riffs and Plexi for lead. Can’t go wrong with any of them. ❤️
👌🤟
They all sound good, but edge to the Plexi, IMO. Put a Jose mod w/Master Volume on it and it rules.
In the real world probably the jcm 800 is the more usable, the plexi has to be kept at high volumes to get that sound (the best sound of the lot in my opinion)
👌
Your chops are righteous, my dude 🤘
Thanks! 🙏
love your videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Awesome website you got to!
Thanks!
Your playing is too good for a RUclips channel. You should be in a band
Thanks! Oh I am. This is just hobby I do when I have time from touring, making music, producing, recording & mixing .

Euge, you’re 🎸playing never ceases to amaze me and constantly has me practicing more….I’ve been wondering for a while now what sounds more like the Bad Boy in the room the studio series JCM 800 , or the Blug iridium?
Thanks! It’s been quite a while since I did this video and played with the Studio series amps (I borrowed them from a local music store MusiX) but the AMP1 Iridium is so close, feel & tone wise that I’d say that 🤟.
Great stuff! The funny thing is that SJ can come as close as you like to have it to both, Plexi and 800 just by playing around with pots. Not to mention it is a proper 2 channel amp 😉 I own 2555X and it sounds just stunning, just like a roaring Marshall 800, Plexi with mids/hights level as you would expect from it. Even without SD1 which consumes a little bit some of Marshall clarity and edge. Again, great job here mate.
Thanks! Indeed 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Euge, I'm looking for an affordable but still good attenuator - I'd like to run it over my SJ 2555X and VM 2466 (another great Marshall!). What could you recommend?
I used to use a Bugera (can’t remember the model now) for a while before I bought the St:Rock (which is the best I’ve wver tried / used) and it did the job just fine I think.
@@TomTom-wrotoneking ironman mini 2 for those 20w head are 👌. The feel is way better than ps1/harley benton style ones. Tone is kept intact.
If you can only have one which one would it be the Jubilee 20 watt or the 20 watt 800. Does the 20 Watt 800 sound close to the hundred watt version? Which One out of the three did you like the best
800 💪👌. Yes it does.
hi euge, is the sc20h suitable for bedroom? can u crank it on 5watt mode to a 2x12 cab without killing your wife and neighbours?
Should be. I guess it depends how they ”tolerate” your playing 😎.
awesome playing and video
Many thanks!!
That Plexi is something special
💪🤟
Giday mate, from Australia love your channel your an awesome player. I was wondering if these 20w amps would keep up with a drummer in a band situation or would have to be miced up?
I'm glad I don't have to choose, they all sound excellent. Perhaps the Jubilee if I absolutely had to make a choice.
Great stuff again :)
💪👌
Thanks!
Plexi for me. Touch warmer. But they are all real close.
Hey Euge, you made them all sound great but like the versatility of the Jubilee best!
Thanks Steve!
@@EugeValovirta230V You’re welcome Euge and really enjoy your channel! Also have a Waza SD-1 on order and can’t wait!
Glad to hear man! Cool!
PLEXI was best for sure and the JCM 800 was very good sounding. The Jubilee surprisingly got lost in the mix with the band. I had an original 50 watt head when they first came out and LOVED it. Still wish I had never sold it.
🤟💪
Awesome playing, awesome riffs, awesome track! amps.. ok. ;)
Thanks! 😎🙏🕺
Which of the three did you like the most? What amplifier has pulled more from you
Gracias Emilio.
800
@@EugeValovirta230V Muchas Gracias.

Greetings from Chile MAH FREND!!!,
Cheers! 🤘
Jubilee
Plexi
Jcm 800
Euge, love the Sykes Riffage on the 800
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Personally I think 🤔 it goes from good , to better to bad ass ( plexi ) Hell yea . Thanks man inspirational 🙏
Indeed 💪
Thanks!
Hi Euge , Great playing, and very helpful video. My choice in your vids, Plexi. I do have an SC20H (JCM800) for 4 hour, and return it. I change it for an SV20h and i’m very happy with my choice. For me the 800 ( and all the 800 that i have before) sound way too bright for my taste. I have try to like the 800 (had four of them) but it doesn’t do it for me.I prefer the warmer tone of the plexi. I play just my guitar with no back track , or with a band. Maybe in the mix or in live situation is where the 800 shines, but for what i do, a plexi with a good overdrive is the best 80S Rock tone you can get. I play mostly, Ratt, EVH, Jake E Lee ,Randy Rhoads(Ozzy).
Thanks Pierre! Glad to hear!
Both are great amps but I’m a bit more an 800 guy 😎.
Would you recommend a TSL 100 or JCM mini for a closer 2203 tone?
Both can do 2203 pretty damn good but the mini 800 a bitter IMO since it’s an 800 😎👌.
Hi Euge..
Is the Marshall studio vintage a killer amp for early Van Halen sounds?
I' ll buy one next month.
Please let me know and thanks from Austria
Chris!🤟🔥🤟
IMO yes 👌
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks so much..
Please is it possible to make a video from the marshall studio vintage with early Van Halen Riffs or Licks because you are the Rockstar!👏👏👏👏🤟🔥🤟🔥
That would be great..
Thanks soooo much
Chris!
You’re welcome man! Unfortunately no since I borrowed all the Studio series amps from local music store MusiX and don’t have them anymore but I have my 1987X which is a 50 watt Plexi so I’ll add this to my to do - list 😎👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V thanks soooo much.
Great Euge!!!💪💪💪💪
Great Video! Do you use any attenuators in this video or in general?
