Have owned 7 Marshalls over the years ... Will NEVER own any other brand !! First class products ! Keep up the great work ..a satisfied LIFETIME customer , Lynn Yates
These amps are great, when they are working. I couldnt wait to get rid of the last marshall I owned (tsl 122). It popped valves left, right and center. The valvestate head I also owned later on developed an annoying background hum so that went too. I also bought the jcm 800 2x12 combo and the first lasted 2 hours before failing, the second had a preamp valve fail after a couple of days but it was third time lucky and I actually had one that was reliable. All of these were bought new.
My tsl 122 had the same issue, the problem was a breakdown of the pcb material making it conductive. After pcb replacement mine has been problem free for years!
Different ranges of amplifier made for different markets and for people with differing budgets. That is the reality of giving the company longevity. Lots of competition in the amp market these days. I love the way you can still get the hand-wired point to point models but the kid buying his or her first amp can buy a production model for considerably less money. We all have to start somewhere. I loved the video and hats of to Paul for doing it rather than handing the job over to someone from Marketing.
"WOW!" I have a JCM900 50 watt 4500 Series, with the purple cover. I think it's from around the early to mid' 80's. I wonder how much it cost to have them go through it? That would be a dream come true for me! Very cool Tour. ")
:) Hi :) Thank You for the tour , my question is about MOTORHEAD. Way back somewhere i read that MOTORHEAD used something called SARSHA AND MARSCHA cabinets i think it was. It was with MARSHALL stacks.Kevin, Norway, Scandinavia
If I'd kept have all the Marshall Amps I've ever owned, I would now have all the Marshall Amps I've ever owned ! There can only be ONE AMP ... and that Amp is Marshall 😎🎸🎶👍
God bless Jim Marshall and Paul Marshall for not sending their products to China ! Keep it fresh in the UK.Thanks Tad Proshansky East Coast Productions !
I’m sold!! I have wanted a Marshall since the mid 1970’s I think it’s time. My big problem is which model do I shoot for? I now need to research the heck out of their amps and hope I make the right decision, I know I shall. Nice tour
how much would it be for you to have a look at my marshall amp, and also would you need me to bring my 4x12 cab in as well if you need the id number I will send it to you . I bought it second hand. it is not a valve head I know that much.
damn i'm too old now but next time around i'm gonna slam a strat thru a marshall and die a freakin' hero haha...my brother had some great sounds out of his fully home re-worked fender monitor amp with self built pedals & all the biz & i swear he made his strat, tele or Paul (can't remember which, he had a lot of them) sound so funked up gorgeous i swear only SRV or Jimi could get more twisted haha
If you want to keep making quality amplifiers stop board mounting potentiometers and hand wire where it needs to be. You know where and what I'm talking about. Stop cutting corners to save time and money. When wave soldering make sure it get enough. The first area it shows up is the board mounted pots. if it gets knocked around a little bit (normal use) that's the first place it shows up with cracked solder joints. and cold joints. Stop using plastic jacks that are board soldered (wave soldered) I know if a amp hits the landfill you intended it to make it there in this through away society. good parts and workmanship will make a amp last a lifetime ;ike they used too. What do you see when you open up a vintage Marshall amplifier? hardly anything. That's what gave them such great tone
potentiometers - you mean the control knobs right? how can they be mounted to the board when the board is assumably perpendicular to the face of the amp where the knobs are? i have a 1983 4104 combo and this came up when i researched it to see what its worth.
Yes u got it. That's the only thing they need to change.i hand wierd a new jack input cause it got yanked on and it kept shorting out. Works like it used to now. I had 3 guys who said they knew how to work on Amos and no e of them fixed it. Cost me 500.00 between the 3of them . Took matters in my own hands took a couple hours to fix and it's fine now. Getting back to wat u said hand wire is the way to go.
The oil on your hands won't hurt a valve. The temperatures the heater generates aren't enough to cause issues. Same with normal incandescent light bulbs. Quartz halogen lamps use a different sort of glass and run at much higher temperatures than tungsten lamps, and yes, the oil can create hotspots on them, which can lead to failures. Tungsten lamps?, doesn't make a gnat's fart worth of difference. Valves?, even less so. Think about how most valves have printing or etching on them, and Ruby often blather theirs with stickers. The myth comes from quartz halogens. It doesn't hurt to handle valves with cotton gloves, or wipe them down after fitting them, nor does it matter if you don't. Don't sweat the small stuff.
That was just a myth so you didn't burn your fingers and sue someone, tubes are almost indestructible, in fact some older Russian and Chinese fighter planes still utilise tubes. Tubes have very little in common with any light bulbs unless the bulbs are for film/TV lighting.
So did the people who got replaced by the circuit installer machine get put in new positions or did the Robot win? I like these videos of the production of musical gear. I worked at a shop that had those Amada Punch press's They drove me nuts how loud they were we could here them in the machine shop. cool stuff.
I have a Marshall amp, AS50R, recently sold it (it was working fine at that point) shipped it off to the buyer, when they got it, didn't work at all! So I got it back and they got a refund. Looked inside and found 2 wires going to the reverb unit were broken and the reverb unit was hanging off. I'm hoping if I fix the wires it will work again and I can sell it again! Anybody got any experience of this? Thanks, Typodave.
Oh man i just love my Orange 2x12. its got that stapled edges tone. couldn't imagine it with glued joints. I imagine that would really kill the sound. ya know, with being a stuck up fucker who thinks something like this really makes a difference!
tyler.... you are so fucking smart! Here I though he was talking about woodworking and the strength of the cabinets. It turns out he was talking about tone, so obvious now that you pointed it out. You sure set him straight mister smartass.
Traded my JCM 900 duel reverb in for a VHT 100 watt pitbull..seriously wicked amplifier..JCM was cool but couldnt match up to the pitbull..still play Marshall's sometimes..however..A/B a JCM 800 and VHT pitbull and you will see what I mean
Pretty cool where do you work oh I work at Marshall amplification.oh what do they make...tonal heaven..oh well as long as you like it. Dear..have a nice day..ok grandma..
I want you, marshal...!! I love your tone. But my saving will never be enough to buy one.. 22 million rupiahs in indonesia. It's very expensive for us...
I got a personal tour around 2000. The guys even let me video it. My 1st head was a jcm 900 100 watt. 2nd was a 73 plexi. My current one is the TSL 60. Love the 3 channels. I got my 1st cabinet 22 years ago the 1960b vintage which I still use. I use 1960a too. Here's some video if ya care to see me in action this summer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hXeTOUmyxfk.html
They stated they hand sanded, they do not, they use an orbital sander, hand sanding is NOT done with an orbital sander, I've been doing wood work a long time and often I am asked not to use an orbital sander, orbital is so much faster I I think better.
cengeb - The audio is heavily compressed. You can hear background noise rising and falling as he speaks. I suspect the ambient noise level is not as loud as it appears in this recording. And if it was consistently above 85 dB SPL they would be wearing ear protection, as they are in the metal and wood shop areas.
