Marshall Hendrix Signature Stack Demo

[brianendersmusic]

what would be a good choice to get this tone in a usable setting, like 30 watts. I have played and like this amp but need a head that is more my volume. I have a Dr. Z Route 66 but it's voiced a little strange I think, would like to explore more options

[francosweetness]

This amplifer sounds beautiful and like the guys said, VERY authentic! So great demo!

[jimihendrix19999]

Vo her hast du die untere Box die finde ich einfach nicht im Laden, und zur Marshall Firma will ich auch nicht

[MrSandydillon]

Thats why thet sell on ebay for $500. now noone wants them This Demo did not help you

[stretch90]

@MrSandydillon

lol, these sell nowhere near $500 on ebay.

[MrSandydillon]

I just was wondering what you are doing,killing a cat,if thats how a JH HW sounds thats shit

[LedWhisky69]

@MrSandydillon I dunno what the fuck you're talking about. Go back on your meds, dick.

[MrSandydillon]

I didn't know Marshall used PCB in 1966 Tom,you sound just like Jimi What the Hell is thisshit?

[LedWhisky69]

@MrSandydillon First, there is no PCB in the Hendrix Marshall stack. It's hand-wired, turret board construction. Second, what the hell is this shit, you ask? What the hell do you think it is? It's an amp demo, you fuckin' moron.

[kubo0666]

our national football squad has just lost to armenia 4 to 0 I just wanted to bring back my will to live su I wanted to hear that guitar sound ... Now I have reason to live :)

[AlexWolfking]

this amp sounds so damm good....

[rbehm]

The first thing i would want to do 2:06 when plugged into a Marshall full stack, 100 watts, non master volume... mmm... i that sound is just sheer pleasure to my ears.

[rimmsey7]

@rbehm WHY!!!!!!!WHY!!!!!!!!WHY!!!!!!­!! DELLILAH

[5M1L3Y311]

So um, Xmas is right around corner yeah...? 

[fanzappa]

this stack is 6'3" tall. this guy is a shrimp...

[SkinnerSG]

Thanks for creating my amp Steve, the vintage modern...i fucking love it

[kennypoo]

@SkinnerSG

ive got that amp too its amazing!

[Nellysman1]

everyone of the 17 people who hit the dislike button are trolls LOL.

[TheRealRayJ]

Jumper those channels!

[igotthesebeats]

killer amp, awesome playing also!

[Sideways1011]

he looks like tom Jones

[artcore3030]

Nice. Just wish there was a "Poor Man's " version.

[dirtylivin07]

It's.... my girlfriend's dad xD

[GregoryGraveyard]

i cant imagine an amp sounding much better than that really

[brainiestben]

ITS TOM JONES!

[brakspbfun]

The 50 watt plexi sounds better anyway.. Kind of a waste to get the full stuck unless your jam space is a hall. I have a 100 watt fender twin amp and I can't even put it to 7 things fall off the walls at about 5

[JamesNiskyMusic]

@brakspbfun I have gigged with a Fender Twin on 1 before . . . not kidding, there at least 400 people in the audience and i filled the place, i think those amps are underrated at 100-watts, its more like 200-watts with the master on 10. My Mesa 50-cal had to have the master on 10 to get the volume i want thus giving no clean headroom and lacking clarity. The lesson i learned? Its better to be overpowered than underpowered. More volume just feels better too.

[fanzappa]

@JamesNiskyMusic

you are using using hyperbole, right? a fender twin, or any amp is designed to put out the amount of power, dependent on the tubes used. the 4 tubes in a twin or 100jh can only put out the specified 100 watts. the loudness, or SPL, you perceive is based on the number or type (efficiency; in db) of speakers used.

[RippedPantsBand]

Hah...what a great dream...and I don't mean the amp (of course, the amp, too) !

I mean his Job:)

[DaveRingle]

Ayyyy! A gordie tom jones! =D

[SRV1DOORS1HENDRIX1]

@DaveRingle Haha you're right.

[BlackBalloonGraz]

pretty bad tone for a marshall plexi style amp..

[tonyc329]

Listen to how it's distorting the recording mic. That amp is loud as hell!  I have a 50-watt 1976 head that would kill small children from 100 yards as well as a 100 watt JCM 2000 that will sterilize cattle.

[Hacker506]

Hi, I bought a $6000 amp and I don't sound like Hendrix, will anyone tell me why?

@hacker506 yeah, you need to been born in seattle, then join the army, play guitar once in a while, listen to BB King, Albert and everyone in the back 50-60's, join the Little Richard band, go to new york and wait until that Linda see you in that cheap circuit... if you want you can try to win the guitar contest at broadway, but that just gonna give you $200 to get some ladies, enjoy your aids.

[pinkypimpalicous]

ok, so its a stock 1959?

[ByrdWhiteMovie]

My god.

[philbio66]

and now he's deaf and can no longer hear himself play.

[tothatextent]

P fuck'n U! Get someone who is decent to demonstrate the amp. Who the Hell would the amp after that demonstration? I think I will buy a Mesa or some shit.

[lespaulnmarshall]

You pluug in and pleh! LOL!

[MegaYoshitsune]

Admiral Ackbar - ''IT'S A SACK!''

[13Musicmachine]

@mufc0794 For your information HENDRIX USED 9 GUAGE STRINGS ! get your facts straight before posting smart one :P

[kaufmann94]

@13Musicmachine To be 100% correct, he played 10-38 Fender Rock n' Roll strings most of the time... But mufc0794 is wrong about hendrix, but right about Ray Vaughan. He used 13-56 or something like that :)

[Beynon5]

Fuck me i didnt know Tom Jones' son was a Marshall designer haha

[SteveBrownOfficial]

Do they still sell this or is it/was it a limited run?

[rama6maiden]

@SteveBrownOfficial

they say that its a L.T.D but its not.

thomann.de sells it fairly cheap!!

[Shiiheadbrett]

I wish my Marshall was that clean at loud volumes, ill have myn at 1 and it soiunds like i have my ds-1 at 10

[logeybear5150]

@Shiiheadbrett lol, thats just the way old amps are, youd have to crank the shit out of them to get any gain. nowadays gain knob on 1 is more than most of these amps had.....not that it sounds better tho. you'll never beat an old marshall :D

[Guitar1hero23]

where the hell can i get one of these!!!!!!!????

[ThrashRoC]

astonishing , i definetley hear the soul of hendrix here!!

great demonstration , this amp is so great

[MilkyLicker3587]

@metalrocker68 - I thought you were an asshole. Turns out I was right.

[xobeht]

Real Good Demo! Great Job--thanks for cranking it.

[fartsallot]

Bunch of fucking Noobs!

[austinhull20]

@bubbah12345 unless he plays like a REAL strat player and puts 11 gauge strings on it

[etabone1]

@bubbah12345 real strat players use light strings????WTF...I would say SRV was a "REAL strat player"...he used 13's.

[bubbah12345]

@etabone1 that comment was directed to the person that said that REAL strat players play with heavy strings i didnt mean it as you cant play good without light strings but the players that play bluesy like jimi hendrix eric clapton and bob dylan ..... play with light strings and im sure srv used light strings too but he did strum alot harder than alot of the players ^ i mentioned so idk about him

[mufc0794]

@bubbah12345 SRV used .13 strings. but i bet what he meant is that for the real deal blues tone u do need a heavier gauge string, .9's wont cut it, i use .10's so i cant really say that i use heavy strings either, but for blues playing like hendrix or srv u do need heavy gauge strings or used to need

[bubbah12345]

@mufc0794

hendrix used a top e for a b string and used light strings, at least thats what ive read but i didnt really ask him in person idc tho just read up on the strings he used and you may be surprised

[mufc0794]

@bubbah12345 i didn't mean hendrix himself but the style hendrix and people like Stevie Ray play, in general i think its pretty much the norm to play with a heavier sided gauge than a litter one

[Speedoman1978]

@mufc0794 From what ive read hendrix used the A string for his low E so idk that doesnt sound that heavy to me.

[mufc0794]

@Speedoman1978 aren't u people getting me, im not saying like exactly hendrix but the style he played, most blues players will usually use, a heavier gauge, thats all im trying to say.

[PIlotrcm]

@etabone1

I'd love to be able to wail with 13's, but like my penis, my hands are also small and hence 10 is it for me...

[ryano50]

I didn't know tom jones played guitar

[samgam69]

@ryano50 haha nice spot man

[Teutonic1250]

man...when i saw this in the 5th grade i thought this was jesus amp. then i heard it. i almost burst into flames

[NoyzyBoyZ3]

All it need's is a Faustine attenuator.

[Elluen]

Becuss!

[4youk]

holy sht my neighbours would get mad as fuk

[emmetwhitey]

what is "presence"

[andy92811]

@emmetwhitey extra high end

[NoName01071992]

you usually, plug in, and.......PLAY xD anyways, this is an awesome amp :D

[phallystorm]

And..Hendrix's Strat had all single coils, not the humbucker .

[brooscaar]

It isn't the gear that makes you play like Hendrix ;)

[phallystorm]

@brooscaar The Gear plays a large part in the Tone make up of any Signature sound. Sure, knowing how to bend, and execute the notes in a similar manner to the artist you are trying to copy is largely important in duplicating the sound. However, you are not going to sound like Randy Rhoads playing a Strat through Roland JC. Sorry Brooscar. The Gear as even Hendrix explained PLAYS a Significant Part in replicating the Tone you're after. Single Coils add a Hendrix Element/ dimension that Nails it.

[phallystorm]

The Bloody WHO!!

[SRSattern]

I love how the dudes rythm hand just pounds the hell out of that fiddle there.

[weehastogopee]

he looks just a little like pete townshend haha

[jessop187]

@weehastogopee I'd say he looks a bit more like Tom Jones :P

[michaelgroenewald7]

would this be loud enough to play live?

[Wizmar]

@michaelgroenewald7: Um, no. You would need to buy at least two of them to have enough volume live.

[mrdm93]

retard

[michaelgroenewald7]

was a joke hahahah

[johann12]

@michaelgroenewald7 any amp is loud enough aslong as you use mic....but without mic, this amp carries enough punch

[brucey39]

@michaelgroenewald7 Ha Ha nice one mate

[xactoabuser]

WANT

[quilicimusic]

sounds great

[4JayeP]

I have an original '71 JMP. Very, very similar to what Jimi used. The problem when using Hot Plates is that you do lose some tone. The Hot Plate itself doesn't change the tone, it's the speakers. Gotta remember that Celestion speakers sound best when the cone is bouncing around...and that takes volume. The only want to get Plexi/JMP to get that creamy sound is to crank it up (unfortunately). Greenback speakers need to get pushed.

[joeytruelove]

Yes, JH moved to JMPs later in his career. I do agree Celestions does require punishment to sound their best. I'm running a 50W amp into a 212 w. M-greenies and God only knows for how long they will last... EL34s can produce creamier sound than KT66s too, I find, which break up more agressively and don't compress as much.

[muffinbrine]

God damn that amp sounds good

[1dockthorwho23]

Are they still making them? I think the output tubes they are using in there are KT66 s? I have a Major stack KT88 s with G12H 25 watt greenbacks. the coils where made with paper so when they got really hot they would go on fire LOL I Think thats why a lot of people started ramming the guitar into the grill cloth. enjoyed your video. Thanks ;-)

[chongoblanco1]

EEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Flatted357]

The "Plexi" setting on my Peavy Vyper, which allegedly models the Marshall, produces a flat dropping sound with almost a reverse sustain?? i.e. the notes seem to be pushed back???Is this how Marshalls sound on low volume with no gain or effects??

[punkdude543]

@Flatted357 no, that's how modeling amps sound.

[c32linder]

I wonder how close the Bugera 1960 150 watt head actually sounds to this head... seeing that the Bugera is basically a plexi copy.......

[74LesPaul]

With a THD power soak, would be a very cool set up.

[eggmanburrito]

is this the 15000 amp ?

[joeytruelove]

No, the 15000 is a clone made by other manufacturer. Don't remember whether it had the JTM or JMP circuit, now, but the JTM circuit one had a single OT whereas the JH has two.

[coltom]

Hendrix and Clapton used it but it was Townshend that was impetus for creating this amp. He was the first to start stacking his amps (using Marshall cabs and a Fender head) until Marshall created the JTM 45/100 for he and Entwistle. Townshend liked the speakers being at the same level as the guitar whereas the majority of his generation of guitarists had their amps on the floor at that time.

[GetReide]

I'd be so shittn my pants crankin that amp... I have the 50w plexi re-issue and its a loud mofo through one 4x12 box already lol this is a pretty cool demo actually

[JimmyPage968]

you need an attenuator, check out the THD Hot Plate

[snubbs741]

2:10-first thing anyone does when they get a tube amp

[MetalCore242]

geordie thats what i like to hear get in there son

[Chevy454RatMotor]

the guy acted like he wasnt any good but he was pretty good

[murfdog19]

He actually designed the Marshall Vintage Modern amp also. He is a valve amp genius!

[joeytruelove]

The English are humble and understated by nature. A good trait, IMO.

[Paulusstrat]

get a full single coil stratXD

[debobone]

for redesigning it he sure knows jack shit about it

[joeytruelove]

It may be of interest for those watching this clip if you cared to elaborate on this statement of yours. ;) If Murfdog19 above is anywhere near the truth the guy in the clip knows one or two things we most likely don't.

[Speackoolm]

i need one :D

[flipsy87]

lol atleast he plays music that suits the amp, can't wait until i get my hands on an original

[rawel34]

Soul and Musicality can't close in a market contest.

[mikeguitar41]

I Agree

[jeudhas]

so basically you plug in, and play!...that's basically what you always do.. =) but..pretty cool amp!

[ravovasquez]

plug and play is a term to tell that is an simple amp.

[ramennoodelz]

is this a reissue of the old stock jmps that hendrix used in his life time? i havent seen an old jmp in a while.

[tiddlywinks98712]

when Hendrix used the Fuzz face with a marshall stack, did he have the amp overdriven or pretty clean??

[Silencer84]

Pretty clean. A push on the fuzz face was enough to make the amps scream for mercy

[tiddlywinks98712]

lol, love how u phrased that.

[Silencer84]

thanx ;)

[notuern]

He always had the amp set at "breakup", meaning that hitting all the 6 strings at once causes it to overdrive, but one string at a time = pretty clean.

[JIMMYJIBLETS]

in the studio, pretty clean, but on stage it was pretty much ALWAYS overdriven. as loud as these amps are, hendrix was known to push them as far as they'd go.

[LordSupro]

Always at least at the edge of breakup.

[willg678]

Zero guitar skills.

[Paladin19652007]

Is the ear damage worth it ?

[phillyc94]

yes. yes it is.

[adagio170]

Great amp, the problem is... They priced it close to what you can get the originals for. So, if a person has a lot of dough to throw at an amp, which one do you think they'll get? I would pay the little extra and get the real thing which will only go up in value.

[edma111]

whats the difference between the angled cabinet and the straight cabinet

[Darknvo]

mostly just the look i belive, maybe the position of the speakers too. idk

either way if your playing through a marshall its going to sound good.

[edma111]

damn straight lol

[punkdude543]

not true at all.

[music5freak5]

projection

[Darknvo]

Well, assuming you know how to play a guitar. It will sound good.

you can have the best amp and guitar in the world, but if you don't know how to play.. of course it's going to sound bad. lol

[ryano50]

@Darknvo

Exactly! Music comes from the soul, and your fingers are the medium for expressing the music.

Peace

[Carthsgtr]

@Darknvo

I completely disagree. I have heard people with Marshall stacks and Custom Les pauls and they barely need to know how to bend to sound good.

[metalupyourass20]

@Carthsgtr nothing comes easy my friend you have to work for..... just ask the greats, hendrix and vaughan can sound amazing through an epiphone special and a line 6

[Carthsgtr]

@metalupyourass20

True, but they sound even better through a Marshall stack and a Fender Custom shop.

[Nellysman1]

@metalupyourass20 how are you going to ask Hendrix & Vaughan anything? they're both dead!

[angryfurniture]

@Carthsgtr yes its true. i have a marshall jcm200 tsl with a 1960a lead cab and it makes a big difference. if you where okay, on a high end marshall head and cab you sound so much better.

[Alfred5150]

the angled one has a lil brighter sound

[covflo]

Monster amp.

[blackknightrockband]

lol the comment he makes at 1:40 is funny as...

"the amp is just set as it is"

of course it fuckin is !!!!

[inmedd]

haha!

[mooghammondb3]

Kind of a stupid move to demo with an HSS.

[gibsonlesmike]

i was thinking the same thing

[OhYeah729]

NO SHIT YOUR NOT JIMI HENDRIX!

[oHazEo]

that sounded like shit

close mic that thing

[thechitto]

he's banging the shit out of that guitar. I do the same thing haha. The finish lasts a couple of months after I buy it then it starts getting that "I beat the shit out of my guiars" look.

[laasook]

is that a fender telecaster?

[MetalScreamer510]

NO!!! Fender Strat, with a humbucker in the bridge.

[DxRox22]

You're joking right?

[Djfritzer]

wow learneth thy guitars man thats kinda bad geting those 2 mixed up

[HowToMakeCrap]

Dude... noo..... it a Fender Stratocaster! Telecasters have the different things that stick out to the right when the neck starts.

[tacobelldog123]

wow...its obvious whether it is a strat or a tele.

this is a strat /topic

[PutItAway101]

Shamed badly

[MrElationRx]

don't sweat it dude, the more you play and want new guitars, the more you learn.

[mechtech104]

lost the jimi feel at the end

[alexledzepguy]

I would give an arm to play that.

[kidnamedchicago]

that'd be a problem seeing as you'd only have one arm to play guitar with then.

[alexledzepguy]

Ah well, ill give a leg then.

[andrewt248]

That amp must be obscenely loud to get that tone!

[ZACKisVICIOUS]

what song is he playing?

[ruffles272]

what does presence do? and i think they should've added one more knob for gain.(not that its not good enough already)

[bubbabellums]

the volume nob is gain

[wareaglebabe11]

ye, adds clearence to the tone, treble but makes it kinda cripsper. and adding a gain knob would be retarded. youd have to add a master to that, and simply put, it wouldnt be signator, nor would it sound nearly as good.

[caloydaman]

Fender Strat + That Hendrix Marshall Sig + Dunlop Cry baby + Fuzzface = PERFECT TONE.

[OnzaJK]

STEVE D!!

What a legend.

He also designed the vintage modern aswell ;)

[thenextvh]

gotta be killer in person

[JohnELeeBand]

Love the tone here.

[armpitlaughs]

Why does he wrap his thumb around the neck?

[jonasbacklund]

taking the bass notes with his thumb, like hendrix did..
