Marshall SL100 Reissue with Master Volume 

73BGTA Thanks!

25 watt Greenbacks are my fave. I used to have 2 basket weave straight cabs, great cabs and you’re right, 2x12’s leave something to be desired. They’re close but not quite there.

You read my mind, brother. Lmao. Greenbacks are my favorite speakers, as they always have been, especially when it comes to playing them through plexi and modded plexi amps, both being my favorite kind of amps, when it comes to Friedman and Metropoulos Modded Plexi Amps. The Greenbacks also pair up well, in a 4x12 speaker cabinet, with 2 greenbacks on top, and 2 vintage 30's on the bottom, like the standard 4x12 speaker cabinets that Dave Friedman sells. I've mentioned the same to Jimmy that you just did, several times. Take Care, Brother.

I was either in Detroit or LA at that time. Never played in Denver.

@@JimmyBurkard oh ok, same name different dude! Good playing either way!

Thanks Samantha! Marshally goodness!

Jimmy Burkard. hello tlc 🚹

martin. just work togeter a tlc. good solos. jimmy

Yeah, time flies!

Thanks! 🤘

Thanks! Love it!

Thanx! Exactly, VH and Zep flavors. I was thinking early Sabbath, too.

Cheers!

Cheers Stefano!

Ha! Yeah Greenbacks for the win! Thanks brother!

Thanks Andy, I appreciate it! Jim

Thanks brother!

Thanks Jeff! I like having this amp in the arsenal.

Wow, thanks John!

This is when it had a PPIMV mod. That mod on plexi style amps can sound thin and raspy. Now it has a Friedman BE mod.

Thanks spidey.

Thanks 👈🏼

Cool! Go for the post phase inverter master volume (ppimv). .

As someone who has a 1987x aka 50watt one of these it really sounds like hes got something pushing it or those are real hot pickups because i know my JP LP has antquities and is not nearly as crunchy jumping channels and diming em both..i have ppimv too

Thanks Ryan! I think the MCP's are a little more chewy on the attack ( if that makes sense). They both use A5's. I had my HR59's switched to A2's because I wanted more early VH at the time. The A2's gave them a softer attack, then I went with the MCP's (I'm from the Motor City). I'm still using the HR59's in the neck positions of my LP's.

steeve thomas Hi Steve, Thanks for watching. I used to play stock Super Leads with everything dimed and variac'd to 90 volts. At those volumes there's plenty of low end. This amp has since been modified by Dave Friedman, and I don't need to run the tone controls like that anymore. Old habits die hard, I guess. Cheers!

i see ...thanks a lot

Hi elswan64, There is an Apache Boost on the floor but it's not on for this video. I used it with this amp in my latest video you can see on my video page. The master is a ppimv, no Power Scaling. Glad you liked it! Jim

So my response is 5 years late, but you know with a "plexi" style amp you gotta crank the volume way up to get the saturation you want, right? That's the whole purpose of this guy's master volume mod: so he can get that cranked sound without destroying his hearing or having the police show up at his door.

Yeah, it cuts better that way for me. If I'm using a strat I'll raise the bass up more. This particular Marshall has plenty of low end. Volume II does influence the bright channel even without a patch, it's not as prominent but it's there. Cheers, Jim

Thanks!

Thanks! Drop C sounds interesting. Let me see what I can do. Cheers!

Don't no about a science to it but having the treble and mids up does add gain.. At the time I made this vid the amp had the Larmar MV, it sounded flubby with the bass up. This amp now has the Friedman BE Mod.

Thanks Luis, The Studio 20 watt sounds great. Marshall hit a home run with those little amps.

It does with this type of MV, PPIMV. More compression makes it feel more like a 50.

scott boepple Hi Scott, I don't. There are slight differences between every amp, even if it's 2 hand wired amps.

Hi Bubbkez, Thanks! The volume was pretty low, like a loud talking volume. It obviously gets more punchy/ girth you as it's turned up.

Jim Burkard Thanks for the reply, Jim. Can I please ask you to refer me to a good web page detailing the nature of a PPIMV mod (which I assume this is)? I just obtained a stock 1997 SLP, and would like to achieve the kind of tone you're getting here at the volume level you described. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! :)

Sweet! Have a look a the Metro Amps Forum and search there for ppimv or Larmar and you'll find what you need. Lots of knowledgeable guys there with great info.

This is the Larmar/ppimv on my amp, btw.

Thanks very much! :)

Hi John, From what I remember, this was the Lamar version.

Lucas Rossi This master volume is after the phase inverter tube.

Hi, Yes, stock other than the mv. Thanks for checking in! Jimmy

Hi, I would have a PPIMV installed by a good tech. That helps a lot, it's not the same as cranking it up but it'll get you good low volume tone. That's the simple answer. You could also get a load box/attenuator, power amp or load box with speaker impulse responses (digital speakers). Salu!

Thanks for the quick response, Jimmy!! I was told that with a Master Volume I won`t lose so much tone, than with an attenuator... but, as I said... I am not sure about anything... which of the two, would you recommend? By the way... my name is Felipe.

Hi Felipe, I would go Master Volume. I've had attenuators before but prefer the MV.

Jimmy, sorry I did not respond before...!! Thanks for all the advice!! You have been more than kind... a true gentleman!! SALUD, amigo!!!

which ppimv mod is this?

joel rudnick Thanx Joel, there’re 2 Celestion M65 Creambacks in the cab.

Nice! I have a 2x12 cab with the M and H myself. Thinking about trying this with my JTM45.

joel rudnick Cool!

Jimmy Burkard I'll let you know how it goes. I expect more squish.

Agreed. This is an older video with a PPIMV.

MrOzgooner Hi! It was at a healthy volume. Not too loud.

Yes, it’s all about note choice and the individual’s personal touch on the instrument.

Nope, the gear absolutely helps! Marshall had the rare fortune of making the right gear at the right time and it's a testament to their versatility, longevity that they are still highly revered and played to this day.

@@eyedunno8462 I totally agree, right time right place. But that was half a century ago or more. Today there are many options that sound just as good or even better. But only Jimmy Page can play like Jimmy Page. That was my main point :)

theolajide No foot switching.

thanks jimmy, good to know

would you know if that's a doable mod ? if you could steer me in the right direction i'd be grateful

I'm sure it can be done by any competent amp tech. I've always been a "roll the volume knob down to get cleans" kind of player, so I never use channel switchers. Pretty sure it's an easy mod.

thanks again jimmy

char lee It was a LarMar mv at this time. Thanks!

Sounds super nice man, even with that master dimed! Other mods besides the master?

char lee At the time of the video there is nothing else done besides the mv. This Marshall was a fire breather before any mods, even. It’s now has David Friedman’s BE Mod and fx loop. I love it.

steeve thomas Hi Steeve, 2 Creamback M65's.

thanks bro

claudio cruzat 🤘🏼

Korg Pitch Black tuner and an Apache Amps Fuzz which wasn't on.

Then props on the killer tone. What yr head?

Majin Blood Thanks, this one was made in 2000.

westafoolaway urbantheking Treble should be anywhere you like it. Tone is very subjective.

Sounds great ..ask Slash not Eric Johnson

yeah, Eric Johnson playing on his STRAT

That's the way Jimmy likes it, and it sounds badass! Loving that paul, brother!

I don’t know anyone who plays with a Plexi’s Treble on 0. The tone of any Marshall doesn’t come out unless Treble and Mids are dialed in enough. They sound boomy and sledgy without them. He could maybe dial out a tad Presence but that’s all subjective.

None taken brother, I don’t care for the tone here. At this time it had a ppimv, not great with this circuit. It’s been modified by Friedman for some time now,
