MY MARSHALL PLEXI TONE

[Micker97]

NICE!!!



[funkyjones]

Dude...easy on the coffee.

[undergroundamericana]

0:12 to 0:15 takes me back to the first time i ever heard eruption.and when Eddie started tapping i thought "how the fuck is he making that sound?!"

[mccreadygossard]

great my 1987x sound pretty the same!

[schenker69]

Thank you!! you will..

[UberPiroxsFriend]

What technique are you using to do whatever you are doing at 0:12 to 0:15? I can't even get close to that speed with the sort of Page-esque pull of technique I use to kind of replicate that. Could you please talk me through how to do it. If you could I would be honoured.

[notuern]

Just do hammerons and pullofs while you move your right hand up and down over the pickups.

[UberPiroxsFriend]

Its ok he showed me how to do it. Im not sure what you are talking about haha.

[gorillazfan1000]

@UberPiroxsFriend yeah, how do you do it?

[ruffles272]

Palm muting.

[glmetal]

but is all the distorsion from the OCD or from the cranked marshall?

[schenker69]

98% marshall 2% OD

[glmetal]

XD...you surely was at unbeliaveble volumes!!!!

[schenker69]

Not like you think bro...The amps been fitted with a master volume...

[glmetal]

cheater!!!hahaha

[schenker69]

lmfao

[guns1rose]

what kind of speakers you got in that avatar cab?

[schenker69]

Vintage 30's

[econgblues626]

ohhhhhhhh that marshall tone! i love it! i have the JVM and i will not trade it for anything else!

[schenker69]

THANK YOU!!

[westhomanLOL]

wow...

this was friggen nutz man...

i wish i had a marshall.

plexi would be a really nice amp to have.

and you're an amazing player.

[schenker69]

THANK YOU

[AviatorAndyK]

HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?! 0:14

[schenker69]

LOL!! Just palm muting a speedy riff

[conrad1992]

the plexi's and the bluesbreaker pretty much the only marshalls i like

[Activethrasher00]

you really shelled out the $300 for the duncan '78 set?

[schenker69]

Used on ebay only the bridge

[bz1bz1]

Hi schenker! do you recommend a strat bridge and brass nut to get closer to the early EVH tone, like that one on camara? By the way, I have learned alot from you. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge.

[schenker69]

Strat bridge is fine wouldn't recommend a brass nut think it would be too brite in tone. Glad my vids helped you and I thank you.

[andrewt248]

The nut material is only going to effect the tone of the string when it is not fretted.

[54spiritedwill54]

at 0:12 were you mute picking? sounds cool

[schenker69]

Yes!! Thanks

[crow55555555555555]

how did you do the lick at 0:13-0:16?

thats cool as shit

[schenker69]

Thanks!! All I'm doing there is palm muting the strings as i pick the notes in the riff.

[CuriousGeorgeSwimmer]

this amp is in my opinion the best amp ever made, try playing some blues on it, its overdrive and tube breakup is the best out there

[flyfish777]

look at the engl amp, noted users, etc, hey we all like a lotta amps, i like engl, and plexi for distortion, and blackface super, or twin for clean,, but here i am, stuck with my newest deal an old marshall artist,, that kils, i love it, plexi like, but 30 loud watts, an i got a blackface twin, a friends, and the old reliable blackmore head, with engl vintage 30,s cab,, i still want a real plexi, though it may be a while..

[blahman178]

Man, I hate to sound like a jerk, but you tend to ramble a lot with your comments, which I have seen on other vids as well.

[flyfish777]

schenker switched to engl, years ago, maybe he still plays plexi,s too..

[schenker69]

HMMM always seen him with Marshalls

[luigiperso]

I can hear this is Schenker for real,ah ah

I know that playing

Great tone man,it's a classic

[schenker69]

Thank you!!

[shutyourmouthandopen]

Awesome tone mate.

Are you just using the OCD as a clean boost? Thinking of getting one to boost my 1987. Does it add much drive when used as a clean boost?

[schenker69]

Thanks!! Yes as a clean boost not much drive just a kittle kick.

[marshall11123]

Great sound. Do you think a boss metal zone pedal would give me a "saturated" distortion sound to my 100w marshall '59 reissue? I want to add some gain to my amp and try to get close to a 70's marshall tone.

[schenker69]

Thanks!! I hate distortion pedals especially boss. If you seek that kinda tone get yourself a really good overdrive like a Fulltone ocd

[marshall11123]

ok thanks. I'm just trying to get some crunch into my amp.

[schenker69]

COOL!!

[frishdawgs]

Ahhhh dont get a metal zone, they are tone suckers. If you really want your amp to breathe with a pedal get like schenker said, a Fulltone OCD, or a ZVEX Box of Rock, those are great!! Boss is awful

[Vomitore]

@frishdawgs When someone tells me they use a Metalzone, that tells me A LOT about the player.

[aec0691]

metal zone pedals are the worst pedals i have ever heard, if youare looking for a good dist look at blackstar HTDISTX or the metalcore or for the classic rock try an OCD or a boost, if you want crunch you dont want the metalzne as it is crap

[guitarclaydo]

i would suggest a sansamp gt2

[HoTpAnTs411]

Great staccato licks!

[schenker69]

Thanks!!

[glmetal]

fantastic tone!!!

are you using the duncan custom wound e.v.h. in this video?what do you think about this pickup?

[schenker69]

Thanks!! Yes duncan 78 I think it's a great pup but overpriced. Many others half that price that do that tone just as well.

[glmetal]

like what??:):):)

[schenker69]

Duncan 59, genesis mr browney , duncan seth lover. There's others like the bare knuckle vhII but the price starts to rise again.

[glmetal]

so the duncan '78 e.v.h. seems to be nothing more than usual pickups (except for the price...)...p.s.:from the samples on the genesis website the genesis mr browney seems to be sooo cool...that's the first time i hear something about this...

[schenker69]

Thats me on some of the demo clips on the genesis site. Listed under Ronnie

[glmetal]

so you have made the samples of genesis and sheptone pickups...cool!!!you seem to know a lot of different kinds of pickuops...what's your preferite one?

[schenker69]

Yes thats me on the sheptone site. I favor the Sheptone for it's closer more to the classic rock tone I love so much.

[UKMadsalty]

That is an amazing Tone and sry to hear about everything going, however i do think the blues junior is excellent, being as i own one!

Keep Rocking!

[schenker69]

Very cool bro-- THANKS!!

[lovehasnoage]

may i ask what you do for a living? honestly just curious.

[schenker69]

Carpenter! Why?

[lovehasnoage]

you have such nice gear and everything and was just wondering where all the money came from, sorry to be nosy. ill be getting into a similar trade so hopefully ill be able to afford this type of gear.

[schenker69]

To be honest I really don't have alot of money. I accumulated alot of stuff over the years sold it on ebay to by other stuff. The same money recycled over time. Now everything is gone, Just own a Fender blues junior amp.

[lovehasnoage]

i totally know what you mean. unfortunate to hear that man, i hope one day you will have all the gear of your dreams, honestly.

[schenker69]

Thanks!

[orangeandhoney]

at 0:12 were you mute picking? sounds pretty cool

[schenker69]

Yes! Thank you very much

[pindaro]

good sound!!!

What tipe of pick up do you use?

[schenker69]

duncan evh

[jarred5150]

sooo much gear! and you deserve all of it! i wish i could afford tone like that! rock on brother! ROCK ON!

[schenker69]

You rule! thanks

[pjc5150]

Killer tone, Killer technique !

Fuck dude ... i want a plexi now. Is that a handwired model or a reissue?

[schenker69]

Thanks so much! Reissue

[lat081761]

I rarely post about playing - it's not only your amp - it's you - great chops man! just great!

[schenker69]

Thanks for the awsome compliment

[gez2007]

im thinkin of buying an Echohead, in your opinion, is it any good?

[schenker69]

Get the Carl Martin red repeat

[schenker69]

Very cool- Thank you

[BFahz]

Sweet!

[schenker69]

Thanks- happy new year

[gobbler6]

Very cool tone

[schenker69]

Thanks again bro

[rockhard33]

HEy u know how u put EH tubes in ur amp, with that adjustment. is it possible to kinda lower the gain and get a good ac/dc, led zeppelin tone?

[schenker69]

Definitly- cleans up nice

[alexledzepguy]

i love that loud crack of a sound that you get when you shred with a plexi, it sound like somone being beaten over the head with a hammer, several times. awsome

[schenker69]

Thanks for the repost bro. Thumbs up all the way.

[alexledzepguy]

im just guessing this but im not sure... im guessing you're using high bass , low mids and about 4 treble (just a guess)

[schenker69]

Bro so long ago I couldn't even tell ya.

[schenker69]

If you resend your comment I can remove the thumbs down. Otherwise it wont let me.

[schenker69]

Wow bro one of the coolest compliments. Thank you. Sorry I hit thumbs down by accident.

[Ernie5689]

sweet man, nice tone, i finally got my plexi goin as i got my cab today, got '72 i like to jump my channels, would you recommend the OCD highly?

[jackazs]

it has duncan EVH?

damn.. i can already hear ed's eruption in 00.03

[lizardneck]

sweet! Reminds me of the sounds I heard coming from the hip music stores in L.A. back in the 80's. Killer tone.

[schenker69]

Does bring ya back in the day.

[marshallvalvestate]

is the duncan EVH a pickup or guitar?

[schenker69]

Yes

[dcooper830]

EXCELLENT tone!! By far one of the best Plexi clips I've heard/seen here on YouTube. Well done!

[schenker69]

Why thank you for that compliment my Rock n Rollin brother.

[rocknrollman1234]

Is that a Duncan EVH pickup? I was thinking of buying one. Is it worth $160?

[Cipo1979]

at what volume where you using the amp? am curious I've got the same exact amp and I love it!

[schenker69]

I had a master installed. master is on 2, best way for bedroom volumes without an attenuator. Thanks for stopping by.

[craftman0212]

Good sound!!

[schenker69]

Thank you

[adamp2]

killer tone

[schenker69]

Thanks much my brother

[schenker69]

Thanks bro

[72superlead]

Best tone Ive heard in a long time,

Better than EVH.

And who says the new ones dont sound as good as the old ones.

10/10 for both playing and the best rock amp ever made.

[schenker69]

Thank you so much my friend. Kick ass compliment. Plexi is god for sure.

[wantsomecandy1]

amazing tone for amazing playing!, what does it sound like with a strat?

[schenker69]

Thank you so much for you awsome comments. I will post a clip for you soon with a strat.

[schenker69]

Posted a stat clip for ya.

[schenker69]

V- 30's

[XCaptainJohnnyX]

What kinda speakers in the cab?

[tenebrae654789]

killer tone

[schenker69]

Thanks a million

[dipstef]

Nice tone!I like! Are you playing a reissue or an original one? Are you using also an attenuator?

[schenker69]

Thank you. Yes a reissue. No attenuator master volume installed.

[fstrat]

...face melting tone man!!!

[schenker69]

Thanks my brother. Check out my other clip with the lovepedal cot50. just a tad juicier.

[TIMBERMIKO]

Great tone!

Is that straight from the guitar?

[schenker69]

Thank you. Had a master volume put on the head. Aside from that a fulltone ocd in the front. The ocd is not distorting my tone at all just used for it tonal variation. The distortion you hear is the head, Tubes running at full bore.
