[helldx07]

son of a tube!!!! what sound !! marvellous!

[s7o0a0p]

At 2:00 , Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath!!!!! Yess!!

[socialgrudge]

I own this amp, and it is VERY CLEAN and WARM TUBE sound. I was suprised. This has now become my favorite amp. Alone it doesnt have ALOT of gain, but I feel its enough. I run my POD HD 400 thru it, and its awesome. As soon as I get the money, Im buying another one of these amps.



[maneatingtoilets]

hmmm would an OD pedal push this into chuggachugg gain...I wonder.

[amithabajan2]

Is the riff at 2:36 on the boosted channel or not? Thanks.

[matiasweikath12]

i want that zippo

[shwarznegher]

At the end that guy is Axl Rose ?!?!? hahahahahaha identic!!!!!!!!!!

[kveldeal]

4:20 I love his shirt

[Enclaven333]

Is the MA50h good for metal ? please answer

[dragonclaw13]

@Enclaven333 Well, it sounds like it would be pretty good, but if you want a really heavy tone, I'd say save up and get the Peavey 6505+ head or something. Although, this is just my opinion. If you can, go and try the Marshall out in a music shop so you can play around with the sound yourself. In all fairness though, if you want those sort of Marshall tones with high gain, this might be the right one. :)

[holyass242]

what kinda guitar is that?

[Glockenator]

@holyass242 Yamaha SG

[Megatallica572]

Fucking Creeping Death! Dude Chappers you rock!

[ReeceLiamAllsop]

you know the beard guy because at lims u said you have a beard therefore i trust you or something like that

[slashfan7777]

The amp is pretty good. Clean is awesome. The overdrive is very fuzzy though

[Iaintnosynystergates]

Can someone tell me a good metal setting? like lamb of god or bmth? or avenged sevenfold? cuz the tone im getting is VERY muddy/fuzzy

[Adamshredsify]

@Iaintnosynystergates Too muddy? turn down your bass and up the middle maybe add presense

[suuuuuperman]

can i play only on head, without extra connection with speakers???

[Krakthor]

@suuuuuperman no because it's a ful tube amp. would fuck your poweramp tubes.

[IAMTHEBAGELMONSTER]

@suuuuuperman if you dont know the answer to that question you shouldnt be looking at buying a marshall :D the answer is no

[PrinceOfPunk13]

what kinda guitar is this!?!?!?!? :O i dont hear much difference from a gibson

[tdag100]

dude would u happen to know if the ma cab is the same size as the typical 4 12 cab cause i just got a jcm 900 and the mg series cab i have is too small it works but the head doesnt fit on top of it so i was lookin at this one cause i didnt want to buy an 800 dollar 4 12

thx man

[teezer123]

@tdag100 marshall 1960 412

[tdag100]

@teezer123 thank u but would u know if the ma series cabinet is big enough for a regular size head or if it fits as a substitute proportionally thx dude

[kepca]

At the end of the video, just before the fade out, while they're screaming "SEE YOU AT MONKEY FEST!", what the f***'s going on with the Marshall-cap guy's right hand? :'D I love it when he gets confused and looks at his hand like "wtf are you doing?"

[KJGordon05]

6:02 AHAHAHA lol

[INSANEtheBAND1]

haha the guy 1:36 nearly looks like rob halford but with a gray beard

[Providenceangle]

Wow this was posted on my birthday last year. Crazy. Who's the bald dude at the marshall booth? He's watching you like you're break the guitar lol.

[teezer123]

1:54 :L:L:L:L

[adam10603]

0:55

US anthem ??

[mitchmitchl0lersk4te]

For the whole time you're using it, are you plugged straight in with no pedals? When I tried out the MA 100 it didn't quite have the high gain it demonstrates in this one, like when you would play a fast lick it was pristine, but every one I tried would falter on the sustain.

[NNX7]

@mitchmitchl0lersk4te I tried the amp itself and it hasn't quite much gain cause it has only 3 preamp valves in it (the same amount of an 800) the thing is that if you have a good tecnique you'll always sound like you've got more gain than you actually have (think of paul gilber as an example)

[sergitogibson]

The Valve Power

Rock!!!

[MrBIOSkunk]

monkeyfest is going to bring this guy out of youtube and into UK music scene. what i hope is that A LOT of people turn up - it's gonna be wicked so bring your friends a long - i will be there with friends.

[ConnerMan127]

Chappers, at about :45, you hit that one bend, and all those kids behind you looked over in envy. love it man :)

[Lovestoplayguitar1]

That Ma Head is not using the Ma series cab with eminence speakers,,,,It is all celestions cabinet!!!

[fuel1000]

ummmm......you are very narcassistic and you have no feel in your playing. And you hide all your inconsitincies with all the distortion.

[mogoya]

is the marshall MA100H worth 670 euros?

[AraGuitar]

5:50 i know that guy from youtube!

[JoaoNGoncalves]

"it's enough!" it really is, I'm also sick of hearing sweet child o' mine, everybody plays that when they pick a guitar up xD

[fireicer]

not impressed still favouring my randall lol

[joeyrotten101]

@RobChappers How did that yamaha play?

[GamesAndMusic2009]

why is everyone so ugly that you talk to, that are teens

[simon4tw]

@GamesAndMusic2009 That's what teens look like. The teens you see on TV are not real, they got tons of makeup and stuff

[GamesAndMusic2009]

@simon4tw well where im from, we like to make an effort for what we look like :L not walk around looking like the local tramp

[simon4tw]

@GamesAndMusic2009 I also make a little effort every morning, but maybe everybody isn't like you. i see no point in arguing.

And when I saw "1 comment" on my youtube homepage i was kinda hoping for something else..

[theboywhocantollie]

who was it your met at the start?

[lesshowerrings]

@theboywhocantollie That was probably Jim Marshall, I might be wrong though.

[thebig00JEW]

0:55 sounds like the American national anthem and the camera guy gets pissed lulz.

[thebig00JEW]

wtf LOL beggin strips ad.

[Clipster15]

Nice demo. I wouldn't buy it though. I would jump for a jcm or a jvm.

[MrLordshanks]

For a marshall head it sounds very thin. Shame, but I still quite want one.

[AlexDeMars123]

@MrLordshanks They've probably just got the bass pretty low, or it could be the camera's mic sucks.

[MetalVinn]

I'd say through a mean overdrive on that head, and you got yourself a pretty rocking tone.

[XzaccYXguitarXplayer]

@MetalVinn Just slap a pedal or 2 and yhu should get a nice tone.

[Anden147]

R.I.P Jim Marshall

[strikerfox1]

@Anden147

He isnt dead. Yet

[COBWEBOWNZYA]

chappers! do i hear some creeping death?

[EMAN053909]

hey you think an esp guitar with emg pick ups will sound hard core with that bad boy amp rite there

[WouterGuitarFreak]

the monkeylord on a yamaha:P

[wolfeman85]

if ya wanna play metal with one of these get a 10 band eq and/or a tube screamer and itll sound brutal

[22Rocker22]

@wolfeman85 Put a tube screamer and a noise gate infront of any amp and it will sounds good ;)

[rahoo5757]

the only good GNR album is appetite for destruction

[BastyGuitar]

@rahoo5757

wrong, All Albums are great, including Spaghetti Incident and Chinese Democracy. They are just different styles, it only depends on if you like that style or not. I like all Albums of GN'R, but Appetite for Destruction is defo the best...

[rahoo5757]

@BastyGuitar aahhhhim only into appetite for destruction

[savagesnephew]

@rahoo5757 hahahahahha what a moron!!!!!!

[madsbmx]

the old man in the start, is that him that is the maker of marshall ?

[MorbidHumanity666]

I currently have the marshall mg100hdfx half stack, and i was thinking about getting the ma 100 head, would i still be able to use the mg412 slant cab with this head or would i have to buy a new cab also to handle it?

[underdog4000]

@MorbidHumanity666

yes, u should be able to, just dont get caught by the cops doing that

[uva2323]

lol

[liamzuid]

@underdog4000 How you mean caught by the cops?

I know he was talking about a cab with another head.

[TheJackattack666]

yer that dont mater as long as the cabs has anoth watts and the right ohms to the head yu are all good to get started

[heavymetal1110]

anyone else hear Metallica's "whiskey in the jar" guitar riff being played at about 12 seconds? or is it just me

[Gorgomoth]

@heavymetal1110 me 2 :)

[decapitatedrathead]

2:36 fuck yeah metallica!

[SomeWhiteGuy88]

@decapitatedrathead 0:04-0:07 is metalica whiskey in a jar

[alberto045]

0:09 jejejeje je...

[Hughespipe]

OMG 2:35 the l.e.ds on the amp are being reflected in the guitars finish and it looks like a demon! That must be a good sign for this amp!

[Zofar]

You really need to stop reviewing amps. You make everything sound amazing!

[cordanscedo]

Gyro911, if you're talking modern metal then no it probably can not. In fact most tube amps can't do modern metal without a boost of some kind.

[DRUMcikle]

It just depends I'm guessing. I play a lot of modern death metal, but I barely use ANY gain. But thats just me. lol

[Gyro911]

Doesnt look like this amp can handle metal distortion

[BlackToraChannel]

@Gyro911 put a nice od like dod 250, Ocd, or tubescreamer, and it will. Boosting the input of a marshall is something done by tons of hardrock/metal guitarists

[slayermurder]

@Gyro911 be shure it can! i have MA50 boosted with jackhammer - great combination for insane metal sound.

[Superapeaholic]

@Gyro911 YES, It can handle any kind of metal bro. Tons of pros have used Marshalls for Metal. You just have to know how. The biggest trick in the book is to use an OD to boost the front end of the gain channel on Any Marshall head. Thats the tone right there bro! With that tip, you can use this amp for Death Metal if you want!

[asianaxeman]

@Gyro911 im sure it can easily if u put a boost infront of it

[arhapist]

@Gyro911 I run a POD HD through the clean channel, and it sounds real dirty heavy.

[Martindefeo]

@arhapist I`d like buying a Marshall MA100c and hook it up with my POD X3 Live... How are you doing with your POD HD through the clean channel? Does it really improve the sound of the POD amp modeling? Does it sound big and like all hell´s breaking loose?? I hope you could answer these questions because I don´t know anyone around here who owns the both piece of equipment...

[arhapist]

@Martindefeo It sounds awesome, the cleans are WAY improved from the clean channel of the amp by itself, and you can get some really dirty sounds from the engl amp modeller, the "angel powerball." The tubes in the MA just make it scream

[ManowarFan1985]

@Gyro911

Maybe better when you have a distortion pedal, I think it would sound awesome then ;)))

[sourcehacker]

this video makes me wanna go to monkeyfest... whatever that actually is.. lmfao @ me for being canadian

[h4rdtim3z]

the MA seems to be the replacement for the DSL; that seems to be Marshall's plan (so sayeth a salesperson). I played the MA100 for a good hour before opting to buy it. The tonal range is reminiscent of Marshalls costing far more than the modest $799 (US)

[pnwhlprv37]

@h4rdtim3z ive heard ppl say the clean was great but the crunch sucked, playing just straight into the amp whats ur take on it?

[h4rdtim3z]

hi, pnwhlprv37. Yes, Clean Channel is great -- impressive even. I wouldnt go as far as saying crunch sucked; it doesnt. Preferences in tonality and overdrive vary so widely among players that one person's notion of perfection is another player's notion of sucky. Let's face it: There is always room for more overdrive. Overall, all things being equal? The amp leaves little doubt in your mind that you are in fact playing through a Marshall.

[mrguitardudeman]

@pnwhlprv37 ive played one recently and the crunch isnt the gain ud expect u can gt a rock tone u just couldnt go death metal that easily thats just my view i still like and and play metal on it

[BloodRiver08]

does anyone think this amp is worth it? im going to buy a marshall head (didnt really like my mg 100w head) and i was looking at the dsl50w but it was about $700... this amp is 100w for $800. if anyone could please give me your opinion or any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

[globalcannibal77]

get the dsl50w.

tube amps sound better cranked and 50 watts is def plenty. the ma amp seems pretty likely to be crappier

[solerso68]

@BloodRiver08

This amp is as good or better than any 100 watt all tube head you can get for 800. these arent bad amps. very basic. If you can live with a 40 watt amp i suggest a bogner alchemist head for about 900. if you really have an open mind check out a VOX AC30CCH . Thats a 30 watt amp but thats misleading because the circuit topology is basicly the same as any 100 watt amp. its as loud as most 100 watt amps and its the best sounding and highest qaulity amp for under 900.or get the MA100

[bsabbath55]

dont buy a 100 watt tube head unless you play a lot of shows and not small shows, I mean bigger ones. Even a 50 watter is a lot, you should buy a 25-30 watt tube combo or a 50 watt head that either sounds good turned down low or a 50 watter that you can switch down to half power or something. other wise you may never get to crank it. 15 watt tube heads are good for band practice but you should have a little more power for a gig.

[PoulChuck]

ever heard of Jam pedals? u gotta try them out!!!!!

[strwy2hvn94]

this guy is such a class act

[reditreefrogs]

Marshall make the best sounding cabs in the World except for the cab that's paired with this MA version...

Had they used George Lynch Eminence speakers I would have thought it was a better choice from varying away from any of the top notched Celestion speakers they are known for using in all of their cabs.

[Jimihendrix6699]

jay and silent bob hahahahaha

[tomte0815]

it has :)

[aznguitarhead95]

does it have enough gain for metal?

[MightyPwned]

No.

You'll have to boost it for more gain.

[EuphorbusBTB]

Its like the slash xl head.

[Hughespipe]

the guy at 0:11 in the green 1962 tshirt is in another video demonstarting the ma50h

[snarf4president]

fuckin' guns and roses fans :P the amount of times sweet child o' mine has been played at my local guitar store...

[TracerJP45]

@snarf4president haha im totally always that guy

[Telecaster132]

@snarf4president LOL so true! Every time i got to my guitar store its either Sweet Child O'mine or One by metallica lol!

[GIBSONANDSLASH]

@snarf4president i love gnr but i never i repeat never play sweet child o mine

[INSANEtheBAND1]

@snarf4president I understand completely im tired of it

[metalsplash3]

all this english guys look like retards sorry but this is the truth.

[rodletodge]

4.14 - 4.19 seemed a bit wierd

[Kurgzorg]

Jay and Silent Bob :DD

[snarf4president]

6:04 thanks for stopping him :P

[BastyGuitar]

@snarf4president

come on, Guns N' Roses is my fav band, and they are not bad, ya? :D

[snarf4president]

@BastyGuitar Sorry man, didn't mean to bash G'n'R

[babynbababa]

Lol, lots of kids there :P

But the MA is amazing, must have!

[Fiarzen]

yamaha sg ftw

[masteroggame3]

can the marshall ma do metal like metallica, megadeth, zakk wylde etc.

[IzeTheGuitarGod]

i sure hope so, but i think it can

[JakkeLegault]

ya, Zakk and Dave (I'm not sure about Chris) use Marshalls

[MightyPwned]

No.

It will need an overdrive to boost the amp.

[masteroggame3]

would a wylde overdrive do the job? :)

[MightyPwned]

I'd avoid signature stuff. They are overpriced and you can get more for your money.

Low Budget:

Danelectro Overdrives.

Medium Budget:

Digitech Bad Monkey.

High Budget:

Fulltone OCD/Ibanez Tubescreamer.

[masteroggame3]

how bout boss sd 1. ibanez tubescreamers are pretty gud, the keeley moded ts9s are gud 2

[MightyPwned]

I know nothing about Boss pedals except that a lot of the dist. pedals stock are shit.

[slashdelbarrio]

yes, and "shit" must be the reason why loads of guitarrists and tone masters such as Steve Vai or Zakk Wylde use them, and now their sig, pedals are based on the original Boss's they used...I've personally used 4 of the dists: OS-1, OD-3, DS-1, DS-2 with EXCELLENT results driving all valve amps, try a few ones before talking :)

[MightyPwned]

I said fucking distortion pedals, not the overdrive ones. OS-1 and OD-3 are overdrive pedals, not dist. pedals. Two better things, that make two different sounds. (and yes, I know the OS-1 says "distortion" on it. It's a marketing technique.

And to be honest, Steva Vai and Zack Wylde only use them beause Boss is a popular pedal company and you most likely would get a better contract endosement with them then smaller companies.

Boss makes decent affordable pedals, but...

[MightyPwned]

...boutique companies such as Radial, Fulltone, or TC Electronics completely owns them in every way.

[slashdelbarrio]

I don't argue about that, but with Boss you get a really good pedal at a great price, the DS-1 is just 40$ and packs good tones and is indestructible as any other Bosses. It's classic tone, when you need something more sofisticated you go to boutique brands, same happens with amps. Classic tone = Marshall and Vox, boutique = Mesa/Boogie and Egnater (just a few examples) but although they are more versatile, you don't get the classic sound you pay classics for

[MightyPwned]

Some boss pedals are good.

But when I said distortion, I forgot about the DS-1/DS-2. I wasn't talking about those pedals, I was talking the ML-2 and the MT-2, which are both shitty pedals that sounds like a can of pissed off bees.

Horrible fuzzy sound. Muddy, loose low end, and really bad to sum it up when it comes to the ML-2/MT-2.

[slashdelbarrio]

I agree with you, the ML and higher gain distortion pedals suck, in fact pedals must not be used to get distortion imo, they should be more like a boost, if not, what the fuck is your tube amp for?

[MightyPwned]

Some distortion pedals are good if you are a beginner on a low budget, who has a really bad SS practice amp, but otherwise I agree with you.

Amp distortion in most cases always beats stompbox distortion.

[Nick184]

At lower volumes i find amp distortion a bit squashy; pedal distortion can sound better.

But at high volumes no competition

[AntarcticanCommunist]

Very true, Boss pedals are average mediocre sounding, and don't forget the Blackstar pedals.

[MightyPwned]

Yeah Blackstar pedals are fantastic.

[msuman91]

what blackheart is that back there?

[dbenc]

its called the "hot head". 100 watts. 900 bucks though.

[solerso68]

i like the way the MA sounds. Its a step back from the last few marshall hi gain models. I dont like the split gain channel amps. This amp sounds more like my JMP 50

[SaintFookinJimmy]

2:40

Of wolf and man! Fuck yeah! >:D

[FilthyInsomniac]

What are your overall thoughts on the MA series?

[cdynckl]

Chappers... I am jealous of your life. Wanna trade?

[maidenfan77]

such a good amp that it makes a yamaha electric sound good lol

[rikk07rokk]

Rob what do you think about the MA ?

Is it better than a dual terror or just as good as the orange?

[SonGokuFan]

I'm glad you came and finally played some more heavy stuff on it. The guy who did the vid for Marshall just soloed the whole thing, which is good, but it's nice to hear more than clean stuff and solos.

[22Rocker22]

Matt's dad is a spitting image of my physics teacher... except he aint bald xD

[dr4ncer]

at 0:53 the guy behind rob checks rob ass out :P

[Khatib92]

guy with marshall beanie=win.. pure winn

[LateNightShredder]

yeah im pretty sure he is a Marshall endorsee.

[V3ryM3tal]

I've heard endless good things about those guitars. I'm wondering about getting one meself. How did it feel Mr. Lord?

[MikaJuP]

At LAST you're playing the right guitar! ;) Yamaha SG & SA2200 -> winning axes!

[SwampAshSpecial]

epic!

[TheAkaviri]

so have you chosen bandy peeps to play monkey fest yet?? *hint hint*

[alexstrat]

Speak french now... NO! ^^

[halfacat1]

whoa is that mr. jim marshall? : O

[almostsk8er01]

indeed it is

[mjwoodworth]

woooo yamaha!!!!!

that amp is intense man!

[Griffo2001]

How did you find the Yamaha SG? Never seen one in the flesh but they look pretty damn cool. Also is an added bonus that someone in Mastodon uses one :D

[chazzacool1995]

thats me with the "great hair"! :L haha

and thats our band!

[yeahh765]

Somebody played Whiskey In the Jar at the beginning :D

[angrygoldfish]

That was half volume?

O O

[RobChappers]

Well about a third and a bit I think...

[dwg316]

wicked

[mailliw51]

my friend went to download 09, saw a guy, wnet to sonisphere 09, saw the guy again, went to a skindred concert, saw him AGAIN then went to ANOTHER concert and saw him AGAIN

[sooperkula]
