Marshall Studio Amp Series Demo (SV20H / SC20H / ST20H) 

Jacob, if you hadn't been playing just as well before Eddie's passing, I would honestly swear you are channeling him. You're the ONLY guy who covers him that plays with as much swing and passion as he did...

Rambazamba! Love it!

I knew the Ratt was coming !

Every time this fella picks up a guitar an angel gets its wings.

Ok, here's what's going on there: 0:48 Marshall SV20H w/Kramer guitar 3:26 Marshall SC20H w/ Kramer guitar 5:46 Marshall ST20H w/ Gibson LP All this through a Universal Audio "Ox Box" cab emulator/IR. Of course you also need his hands and ears to have the same results... Yep, He's THAT good 😅

I could listen to him play all day long, so good.

Great playing... oh ya, there were amps too!

I've been playing my 50 and 100 watt amps live at full volume with no attenuation and a 4x12 cab for years, in the clubs, theaters, outdoor venues, you name it... And will keep doing so! But lately, I've been doing gigs with Rick Hughes, and I needed a lower volume amp for his particular show, so I've been using the studio series in 5 watts mode and let me tell you... THEY HOLD UP! In every aspect, even in 5 watts (which is still pretty loud). Tone, dynamics, punch, cleans up, etc... In 20 watts mode, the only differences are that it won't feedback as much when you want it to and won't have as much headroom, because they're a bit quieter, but barely. I read all kinds of bullshit about these amps, don't believe what everybody says, trust your ears and feeling. People will tell you that you need at least a 50 or 100 watts to get a good live feel and sound, then they'll run the master on 2, boost it with a pedal and have it come out of the monitors... That's terrible, thin, no dynamics, compressed, talk about no headroom... Tube amps need to be cranked loud, to get the warmth, fat, rich & creamy, almost clean-like distortion, with beautiful harmonics. It's also worth noting that the original JTM45 was actually 30 watts. I think Marshall is at the top of their game, making these but also all of their original amps, there are great options for everyone.

I love seeing videos with real amps and not plug ins. Tube amps are just simply awesome

Could you give a solid run down of your signal chain, including mics, their placement, variac, and the mix?? You've got it nailed and a lot of us are dying to get that sound ourselves! ❤

Man, your swing groove on "I'm The One was so perfect. I dont hear many people get that one right. Sounding and playing great!!

Sigh.... Rig-Talk forums are so delusional, they're over there sqawking about how wrong you are but yet none of them have ever tried any Marshall Studio. I have the JTM Studio. Better amps than the originals, sorry Rig Talk trolls!

This is absolutely unbelievably good. Massively underrated and am happy to have discovered you

Get on the Pete Thorn Show! I don't know if it is You Tube but it is amazing but thin. Pete and yourself would have a great conversation and the outcome would be notable!

How much do you think the Ox Box molds the tone? Could you share your knob settings on the amp? I have a SV20H dimed - don’t jump the channels - running through a torpedo captor and it doesn’t sound this good without heavily modifying the eq + high/low gain. Even then it still feels like something is missing Only effects are a Boss eq, Slap back delay, and studio reverb

Every time I see you play with the guitar straight to the amp without pedals or anything else I remain speechless. About the Marshall sv20h do you use the stock tubes ? Are they different from your Germino ? Did you use the variac ? And what IR did you use ? Hope to hear the new album soon

I also play guitar ... but it would take me 27 lightyears of training to have 1% of your talent . 🤣 Jacob is playing at the God's Level. Thanks for sharing.

Of all the RU-vid guitarists I have watched since 2007 I have to say I think you are the most impressive player not only because of your ability to very accurately re-create Eddie Van Halen's tone and style, which in itself is unbelievably brilliant, but your own original style is awesome - I can see your personality coming through in your playing. Hats off to you, congratulations on being a brilliant and gifted guitar player - to get that good takes dedication and hard work. After 40 years, I am still struggling trying to figure out bark at the moon/ozzy - and having just watched this video of you playing I've now kicked all of my guitars off their stands and they are in a pile in the corner of the room. I blame them for me not being able to do what you can do on my guitar 🙂 Seriously, you are a very impressive guitar player.

Holycrap man the tone, the player, the tools. ❤

Sometines i heard jason backer´s tone .......loved it

I'm glad you haven't given up on youtube, and the people who've been sub'ed for ages. Loved the album, hope there's another soon. And, someday, I hope you and the boys tour Australia, including regional areas, Aussies would Love your music🤘

I got the sv20h because i loved your tone with the germino but couldn’t afford it. An unbeatable combo with a kramer 84!

Do these newer marshalls ‘feel’ as good as your Germinos??

Simply incredible! Blessings my brother

this dude is an amazing guitar player, it doesn't matter the gear!! such good stuff man.

yo Jacob! what are your flanger settings for Aint Talking bout love???

I never got to see Eddie play live. Hoping one day I get to see Jacob!

Sounds amazing and wow you really have that Eddie swing and swagger in your playing!

these sound great. would love to see your full signal chain, though. maybe your next video ?

what amp did you use for your album? the germino? it sounds amazing. these sound great too

In an apartment? Too loud to sound good? GREAT playing as usual!

Your playing is fucking amazing, been a sub since the randy rhoads tribute tone vids era and I didn’t doubt in play this vid. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What speakers are you running?? Sounds great!

are you using any cab irs or power stations like the fryette? sounds amazing

That SV20H! FU*K! Even (freaking good) for some old style death metal.

Hey Jacob! When you're at home or studio are you running the amp full blast with no attenuator? Or do you run it out to the ox with attenuation or speaker sim?

Toujours le fun de t'entendre joué té sa coche en criss mon pote

You should be on the Van Halen tribute with Hagar and Anthony, not Satriani.

I have never heard ...Iam the one & aint talking about love nailed like that . some can get a very close tone or playing but Jesus you got both going on.

Jesus Christ Jacob your playing and tone is incredible. Man when can I come and hang out in your room listen to you play all day 😂😂. Rock on 🤘

Do they come with the godlike guitar playing?

waite is he using the sv20 on aint talking bout love and ime the one?

What are your settings on the SV? Mine seems flubby so I run the bass at around 4 and dime everything else.

You play like that and any amp will sound good ❤

And how should you use a Strat with Floyd Rose?

Cool

Idk why Alex didn’t call you!

Jackson Donna Jackson Sharon Lewis Frank

Fractal 💪🏻

Smile joy amazed inspired.Yeah!

Fantastic! What pickup's in your Kramer? Did you push them with a pedal here? Cheers man!

Damn, those fingers 🤘

Wow awesome job and nice throwing in rick derringer! Did you use the attenuation here or no?

2:18 for an epic Aint talkin bout love tone

Merci Jacob! J'étais justement en train de chercher quelque chose qui rentre dans le char avec un band!

Great demo. Stellar playing on all three amps.

Oh yeah! you’re really cooking baby ! ….AINT TALKING BOUT …. HA

I have the SC20 and it is definitely the 2203 voice. The FX loop is utter dog crap but thankfully I run everything up front. I've heard the Sv20 FX loop is fine.

6:55-7:00 is a badass lick. I thought about getting that JTM 20, Because it has 5881s in it which are my favorite sounding tubes. I ended up building a "Fender" Twin 5F8-A and loading it creambacks. I definitely recommend an amp like that or trying a Fender '57 Custom Twin-Amp if you get the chance, they are the shit!

great playing

Sounds incredible man, I've yet to hear a bad sounding demo of the SV20H. Must admit, I was a bit skeptical when you said these sound exactly like the big ones with no compromise, because that would suggest you no longer need the Germino, but then you did explain in the comments that you needed the lower watts for a particular application / gig. One thing I have heard a lot is that the 20w amps aren't as 'thick' sounding as their 50/100W counterparts (due to transformer size / headroom power), are the Studio series a lot thinner sounding? And can you compensate for that easily?

You sound great man.

How loud are the 2 non-master volume ones? Or should I say, how QUIET are they? Im sure they are plenty gig-able loud.

I repeat...shouldn't the decimal point on the number of subscribers be to the right of the number 2? WTF? Was an absolute pleasure listening to your mastery of all of the classic rock n' roll songs you seemlessly transitioned from one to the other... outstanding! Super appreciative! Thank you!

Can you explain your setup? Pickup? And I'm assuming you're going into the GB cab sim in the Ox? I had an SV20 and an Ox box and could never get these type of tones, but I think my pickups were too hot. Great job, sounds stellar here.

Dokken sounds soo good on that 😍

I love my Marshall Studio amps, especially the SV20H (Jose modded mine, it is a little beast!) 🤘🎩

Fantastic playing and sound, dude. Would you mind spilling the beans on which cab you used from the OX? Cheers and keep up the excellent playing!

really great playing and sound.... the SC20H and SV20H are really good voiced after the 100 Waters 2203 and and 1959 .... the 50 Watt Marshalls , so 2204 and 1987 are different animals ...

Brother! What speakers you playing through? Sound like greenbacks to me!

Great sounding rig... Killer chops buddy!😊

Nailin' that VH sound! I've got the Jubilee studio combo and like it better than a 100 watt jube I used to have. The 100 watt was so loud. I use the Studio Jube in clubs and it's perfect.

Sounds fn awesome I would like to have SV &SC but would have to buy the OX box to get those tones out of them that’s the only drawback.

I've have the Sc20 with the 2x 12 cab since 2021. I had been searching for years for a good home amp and I found it. I now don't tone chase any more.

I've always said YOU should've been doing the best of both tour! You have the FEEL

you are an incredible guitar player deraps! you deserve way more attention.. this kind of understanding and skill of making music is the same that eddie has (in my oppinion). may i ask you a question: when you're improvising - do you think in patterns,or three notes per string or caged or what ever.. ??

Hi Jacob, are you running the SV20H with all the knobs dimed? Regular wall voltage or are you attenuating the voltage via a variac?

You make them sound great! What cab were you playing them through?

Jacob, what is your Fav Bridge Humbucker?

Damn ain't talking bout live sounds exactly like Eddie.

Sounds fantastic!!! Awesome playing dood

Wow

Amazing!! What's the signal chain in this video? Cab, pedals, etc.

Jacob, do you still play your Ernie ball music man axis? I miss those days where it was in videos

They don't need a boost, overdrive or distortion pedal, amazing

Still waiting on you to do a show near Alabama in the USA! Please 🙏 I’d bring all my friends

Great useful video! Just one comment, tho: it would be even better with time stamps and brief description of each amp.

Killer playing and demo! What is your signal chain and are you running into the UA box? Ah yeah I see you are! Do you use that for your live rig or a cab?

Awesome tones and playing as usual! What are your usual settings for these amps?

No 2525H...

did you use pedals in front of the sv20 or it was straight ? what a good tone and playing !

❤

Sammy Hagar should have used you for the reunion instead of Joe shatch

The SV20 must use the OX as an attenuator to get the saturated tone. It's the only way you can get the volume up to get close to the VH tone.

Is it a mic'd cab or IR?? You sound awesome as always anyway!

Those Dokken tones , or probably more the playing, on point. Took me back...for the attack.

What a playing!! Nice groove could listen that for hours. Keep it up

Did you record them using the OX?

The svh20 is Eddie in a box off toys! ♨️

Overdrive before amp? Great tone!!!
