What does the classic combo of a Gibson Les Paul through a CRANKED Marshall Plexi (1987X) sound like? You're about to find out! Slamming out some of my favorite big nasty riffs through a couple of my Les Pauls and a few of my favorite boost pedals today just because i'm so addicted to that TONE! The Plexi puts out SO MUCH of every frequency.... its like your entire ear lights up when you're in the room with one (and hopefully wearing ear plugs). I'll be playing mine through the Suhr RL/IR box, using a stock IR. Hope you dig the sound! Let me know what you like the best, the sound going straight into the amp, or boosted with the MXR Custom, BB Preamp by Xotic, or JHS AT+!

Glenn Fricker from a channel called SpectreSoundStudios says that you can switch that there guitar and that there amplifier and it would still sound the same as long as your IR's are the same. In other words Impulse Response is the only thing that matters. I think he is losing his hearing.

@BenEller Жыл бұрын

@@Minty.Fresh.Tunes. the speaker/IR is definitely a LARGE part of your tone. But if I swapped out the Plexi for the EVH, you’d be hearing a MUCH different sound.

@@BenEller I would hope so! Would you be dialing in your sound on both amps or would you be playing the EVH cause it sounds like the EVH or the Recto cause it sounds like the Recto etc.. etc... ETC (Well done sir). Maybe Glenn means that you can get two amps to sound almost exactly the same I dunno. I really didnt like that video of his and many others didnt. But he did a blind taste test so to speak between guitars and almost everyone failed. So is this youtube compression at fault or does everyone suck. And by everyone I cant remember how many replied but his channel is doing well its at around 500k subs.

My les Paul r8 comes to life when played through a dirty amp. No other humbucker equipped guitar I have played comes close to it. Is it heavy? Yes. But something about the way they are built just gives it such sick sustain and harmonic overtones.

I really enjoy the classic Marshall sound when I'm listening to the songs, or hearing others play. but as far as my personal playing. I'm a Mesa guy, plugged into a Mark IV almost 20 years ago, then later got to experience a 2C+, chased that classic Mark sound for years, couldn't afford to buy Mesa's then, So I tried everything I could afford to try and get that sound, finally was able to land a good job and got a 2C+ the JP reissue, tone chasing ended for me. I have Marshall inspired amps on my shelf, Bogner, Splawn. Owned a few true blue Marshalls, they sound great, but something about the Mark series gets me everytime I plug into it. Big respect for Marshall though, the sound never gets old, it's just not my sound.

Did you mod it down from a 100w head or was it a stock 50w. Cuz my friend had a 100w and modded down to 50w and it changed the tone. We thought it sounded better. When I was younger I could of got a 150w dual rectifier but I thought it was too muddy. I got the 100w cuz it didn't muddy the speakers up. There is such thing as too much power.

@justinainsworth6264 21 күн бұрын

@@maynardcrow6447 Yes, it is important for people to understand that cabinets have SPL limits just as much as speakers have power ratings. At a certain point the cabinet begins to flex under pressure and lose clarity. A 100 watt Marshall head wide open(often 150-200 watts) needs two 4x12s to get the same clarity a 50 watt(often 80-90 watts cranked) head does on a single 4x12. It is about distributing the power/sound equally. Eight speakers with 100 watts see the same power each as four speakers on 50 watts.

I bought a Les Paul studio with a headstock repair off a buddy right before the pandemic, then DURING the pandemic a friend of a friend passed away and his family was liquidating his home studio and I wound up inheriting his Plexi (I’m still incredulous that I got so lucky). It has some mods to it but it sounds incredible.

There is something inherently heavy about an amp with less gain but more clarity and upper mid brilliance. More gain isn't necessarily better. Great tones for sure man!

@jerbear1601 Жыл бұрын

My number 1 guitar is a 1979 Gibson The Paul made of walnut. Original T-top pickups, ebony board, new frets installed when it turned 40 and added in some Ratio locking tuners. The only other things I might do are replace the neck pickup with a Dimarzio 36th anniversary PAF and get both with nickel covers on them. Bridge pickup is absolutely beautiful for Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen types of tones and can go quite heavy if it wants to but cleans up nicely for a nice Drop Dead Legs tone. The neck one never quite did it for me and no matter what it's muddy height, pole screws adjustment etc did nothing for me. It's just a dud for this particular guitar. I will keep it and try it elsewhere. One thing about locking tuners: they don't so much as hold tuning better as much as make string changes easier. I still wrap a couple of times to allow tuning down. They are heavier though and you need to watch with an SG for neck dive.

A million thumbs up there Jerry ! I've been playing for 42 years now. It took me about 15 years to figure this out. None of my guitar heroes played with nearly as much gain as I once tried to use to play their music. The power, punch, clarity and definition, along with that more round over-drive is the ticket.

As someone who has owned everything from high-gain Diezel, Mesa, Bogner, Soldano, 5150s, etc., mid-gain Fender, Vox, Morgan, Friedman, etc. … and who owns several vintage Marshall’s, if you can’t do it with an old Marshall it’s not gonna get better with the rest. We all want more bass and more gain but it is actually counter productive. Gain kills dynamics and added low-end clashes with other instruments.

Great video! My amp progression started went OR Tiny Terror, Peavy 6505 MH, EVH EL34 50, and finally my Marshal DSL20. The Tiny Terror did not have enough gain for me at the time, even with a Satchuator and an OD in front of it. The Peavy was fantastic sounding... until the tubes went bad and I found out they had over heating problems, so I decided to get the newer bigger version of it, the 5150 50 watt. That ended up sounding AMZAZING for metal, but it ended up having a really bad grounding issue. Then came the Marshal. Plugged in my Tak Matsumoto sig into it and hit my first open D and G and a few power chords riffs. It was like the gods of rock washed over me in their blessings lmfao. I finally sounded like a lot of my heroes and it all made sense to me why Marshal was so important to their sound. I was always kinda put off by the notion that Marshals can't do modern metal, and I fell for it like a dumbass. Les Paul and a Marshall is THE guitar combination of rock

Yep, all the riffs, licks and chord progressions played are classics and Ben plays them with the right feel and correctly. I was into a totally different type of music (Jazz Fusion/World music) when the Hair Band era was happening, but the Ratt song always stuck in my head. Years later and at 58 I’ve actually become enamored with a lot of the classic songs from that era. Strip away all the crazy glitz there were some cool songs with some classic guitar work accomplished. Once I learned how to play it (correctly) I got a new appreciation for it.

Just saw Journey last week...Neil was playing two EVH half stacks....sounded TERRIBLE. By contrast, The opening band was TOTO. Steve Lukather had an AMAZING mid gain singing lead sound. Could not have sounded more different.
