I like all of them, amazing comparison video! I had to listen at a low volume (it is late around here), because of listening at a low volume I noticed that the 2525H was the one that cut through the mix best, also noticed that it was probably because of the very rich mids it has, sounded huge even thou my volume was very low. Thanks for the awesome video!

Just a fantastic job and effort putting this together. I have the DSL20H and really enjoy it and am convinced I will add the SV20H to keep it company!! BTW, the one nice thing the DSL20H also offers is the 3.5mm audio input jack on the back to plug in audio for playing along with mp3s etc. The others don't have that...

You do comparison videos the best out of anyone on RU-vid by FAR! I love how you have these professionally recorded, and have band vs isolated. That's what we're looking to accomplish in the end are we not? When they're sounding at their absolute best, you show which one is better (or different). Thank you man, you're doing a great service by helping those of us shopping around to make an informed decision. Thank you.

@gplume1099 9 месяцев назад

I agree with the amount of work involved and the recording quality BUT, in my opinion for comparison and even reviews tracks shouldn't be doubled. It tends to level out all the subtle differences there is between amp model or guitars.

Man you win the prize for the best shootout video I have ever seen. Great feel on the guitar, cool songwriting, great video editing. I have a DSL 20 and feel like it held its own, except when you went for the more dissonant chords (which I loved). It also struck me that the plexi model seemed to sound the best on all the playing styles, chords and single not or double stop type riffs. I actually played a combo version today and loved it. Amazing work man, Marshall should send you a 100 watt 1959 for all your hard work!!

@JoseyStranded 3 года назад

I bought the SV20H a year ago. It's my ninth Marshall amp and the one I like the most so far. It really is a great and versatile amp if you don't need channel switching. It's got a really great clean sound and the overdrive just can't be beat in my opinion. When pushed hard it goes almost on the fuzz territory. It's also a great pedal platform if needed. The only thing I wish is that it would have that same vintage look on the rear panel too.

@Fartinhalerr Год назад

I thought it sounded best here. I'm a boogie guy but I do have a dsl20hr that I like alot. I doubt I'll ever get an sv20h but they're cool for sure. Sounds like a much bigger amp

And the dsl is a great bang for the buck all around workhorse indeed. Silver Jubilee has incredible leads imo.

I did try a 50 watt JCM 2000 back in the year 2001 for a band practice and I was pretty impressed by it. I use a strat and I got as much gain as I would ever need without using a pedal, lot of variation in gain levels, very easy to get a good sound.

@rikmcrae 4 года назад

What a fantastic demo but they really do sound very similar. I’ve played the SV20H and SC20C and they sounded very different from each other in real life. So I guess the cab influences the sound much more than the amp. I’m also a single coil player, Strats and Teles, so that mixes it up as well. I prefer the SC20 both in your video and in real life. Thanks 👍🤘🤘🤘

@larryadams1873 4 года назад

Great video! I really enjoyed it! They all sound awesome. I’ve always loved Marshall’s. I own a DSL 20 head with a vertical 212 cab. It’s great clean or dirty with my Strat or Gibson guitars. The 2525H is the one other than mine I’d love to have as well but agin they’re all top notch amps.

@shane2973 2 года назад

I was listening to how the Plexi didn't have that upper "fizz" on that classic crunch tone. Really like that! The 800 and the 252H both sound like the gain needs to be backed off a hair, almost like a blurry image where the plexi and surprisingly the DSL both sounded clearer yet still had that great Marshall crunch...very cool. I think also if they weren't back to back like that you may not notice, but in this demo i heard it right away

@claudedisnard862 4 года назад

Great video man , awesome demo , love Marshall tones, Well done!!!!

@TomTom-wro Год назад

Man, such a great comparison here - Thumbs up! Marshall is so reach in harmonics and has the most recognizable tone by far if comparing to other amps! All Amps sound great in this video, for me personally Silver Jube is the BEST fit for its flexibility and an ability to follow each of his small brothers tonaly with only a few potis' moves. It is such a great amp, guys! I own the 2555X for this very reason, I'm probably still yet to discover why Bonamassa, Frusciante, Steve Morse, Slash and bnuch of other guys are using Jube. For now, I know that you should first let the amp run for 10 mins for tubes to warm up, then plug in a really good attenuator - yeah, Marshall is a Marshall and needs to be pushed with at least 70% of the power to reach to an optimal working point for power tubes. I did it this week after owning Jube for 1 year with no attenuator - this is a totally different beast now! Playing at home / small stage / gigs guys with 50W even (can reduce power from 100W to 50W) is still like a thunder in a quiet forest! I tell you, SPL Cabulator + Marshall Jube = perfect combination! ..and I own also Marshall Vintage Modern 100W, DSL 2000 50W, couple of other brands. It seems like I will always come back to Marshalls, despite the fact there is a number of such great amps nowadays - Marshall plays with a roar, with such an overwhelming tone like only a few others can. "If I stand in front of my Marshall and my balls aren't shaking, I ain't satisfied". This is what I remember from Kerry King playing his JCM 800. Rock on!

@TVoltG 3 года назад

They all sound great.. for the best bang for the buck is that DSL.. Held up in the mix and iso. Impressed

@funfreq9282 2 года назад

Your demos are really good! The only thing that I would add are tracks that are not doubled so one can just hear just the amp and not a wide stereo version.

@No-vm7go 3 года назад

Well done! Excellent side-by-side comparison! I currently have a DSL15H and have been looking at the DSL20H as I've heard it's an upgrade to the 15 in terms of tone, etc. But I have to say, of all the amps here, I like the SV20H 1959SLP the best. Very clear and transparent, you can really hear everything played whereas the other amps sounded slightly fizzier/fuzzier/darker in comparison.

@watersnortmoment3734 Год назад

If you have an attenuator, you can get a pretty good plexi tone by cranking the green channel on the DSL 15. The only big issues with the 15 is the lack of an fx loop, and the fact the red channel has way too much gain, there’s a gain reducing tube you can get for its V1 position and it made me pretty satisfied with mine.

@RobertJSedky 3 года назад

Excellent review and playing. Still making my final decision before purchasing. Thanks for sharing 😀

@stilllifewithguitar184 4 года назад

A really well done video! I've played some of these in RL and they sound more different than they do here. They all sound great to me, although I think I like the SV best and then the Jube. They'd be a great combination. The 800 sounds good too but I don't know, I think there are better options for the price out there featurewise.

@elmolewis9123 4 года назад

Outstanding playing. This is the format that comparative demos should all follow. I can only guess the number of hours to put this together. I have been on the fence with the DSL and I have to say, you've made my mind up - if I can get half as close to your tone, I'll be happy. Great job.

@mcswordfish 4 года назад

Really enjoyed this video. For me, I think the SV20 sounded best, but it's hard to tell how much of that was because I've already decided I like that one the best (I'm a follower of the Church of Hendrix, so why would I want anything else) and so my pre-existing bias will steer me towards that one. That said, they all sound, and given how much less the DSL costs, it's an incredible machine.

@jimmyc5498 4 года назад

@stuartpopp472 3 года назад

All sound very good. I have an original 50 watt jubilee combo and a 73 100 watt head. For all around natural tone I still lean towards the 4-input Vintage amp. Some times the Jubilee can sound a little to dense and the natural clarity of the guitar gets buried if you are not careful. But, the Jubilee is a more varied when you put a pedal in front of it, much easier to get a balanced voicing at lower volumes.

@vincentrandles8105 Год назад

I've got a Code 100W head i run through an old '87 Marshall cab, just to listen to RU-vid videos. I have a soft spot for the JCM coz that's my head of choice (for guitar) since I'm 21. Yes i fart dust kids! Anyway take what you like from this idea & expand on it, there's way more tonal possibilities out there. To my ears the Silvr Jubilee came through the best (but i could be clinically deaf too!) Protect your ears folks! By the way i like the piece you came up with for this! 🤘 Hats off to ya, most RU-vidrs aren't this ambitious! That'll take you far!!

@lifebreath77 Год назад

Outstanding comparison! Bravo. I just got the SV20H, and it's fantastic. Seeing your settings gives me some ideas I haven't yet explored, along with thoughts about using an a/b/y or a/b/c with it. Plexi definitely had a little more mid-range oomph. I liked the 2525 and the plexi best. The SC was good, but not quite up to par with the other two. I have a '77 2204, and the SC20 seems to suffer a little from the lack of big iron. I don't get the same impression from the SV20 or the 2525. Anyway, awesome video!

Oh, and I like the SV20... but put the 4,7nF bright cap on the normal channel and a 100pF cap on the bright channel and the amp will have a roar going.

Worth the money.

@jb-zr7nw 3 года назад

Best review of anything, ever!

@metaljonesy 4 года назад

Another fantastic review/comparison. It's hard to split the 800 and the plexi for the most part, only when you want a bit more saturation, the 800 delivers, the Silver Jubilee has a slightly different flavour and probably the most tonally versatile. The DSL is nice sounding, but I think if I were to choose (based on what I'd want to add to the amp collection based on what I have), the Plexi would be the one I'd go for
