I thought that was where the smoke was supposed to escape!

It keeps your picks warm

That’s where you warm your hands when the venue is cold and empty before the gig.

when your solo is smoking……..

*you’re

My pleasure!

Cheers Paul, I’m really glad the videos have helped with purchases. Take care P.

Cheers Franky.

Thank you! Will do!

Thanks.

Hey great video! Do u think it’s loud enough playing live without using pA?

Cheers B.

How loud is it? Are u able to play it cranked at home? I'm guessing this amp can't be played without an attenuator

Nope it’s loud, I use a Boss Waza TAE with it for anything but cleans.

@@Jonny33333 is that better than Weber mini mass?

@@joshmuz9018 I haven't tried that one so am not sure mate.

@@the92project At home? Yeah you are going to need one its a 20 watt single channel valve amp. 20 watt valve amps are plenty loud and if you want to drive it you are either going to need to play it loud or with a load box.

Haha cheers sugatooth, I only wish it counted individual digits. But it keeps me focused.

Ive got one on order, I think they are sold out for a while.

Cheers Del Rei.

Is it handwired or PCB?

@@bcguitarteacher7328 Its all PCB board, but made in the UK, not in China. Also its cathode biased so its very touch sensitive in a good way. It has the Marshall jacks soldered to the board, which doesn't thrill me, so not sure how long these will last over the years, buts they are really damn nice, especially if you plug into low wattage Greenbacks like I do.

Cheers Brent.

You can buy a brand new 100watt Silver Jubilee (Black tolex) for $2,000 just $200 more than this amp which is $1,749

It’s an awesome little amp.

Nice one I’ll try that.

Your referring to the normal channel correct? Setting the normal channel to 1 O’clock or more.

@@zippy61 yes. The amp compensates for low volume with a bright cap. Turning up the volume means less compensation from the cap and the tubes really start to kick in. Mess around with it. This is a fun amp to play around with. You can find great tones all across the board

The high treble channel is the one that has the bright cap. I keep that volume around 6 (1 o’clock) as that seems to be where the bright cap stops making it ice picky. Adjust the normal channel to taste or to the guitar. My Les Paul love high treble at 6.5 or so and the normal around 4.5 to warm it up.

@@russellbordeaux2425 tubes have not gone away. In other videos we've been told you can play any style, get any kind of overdrive with a BOSS Katana and similar...but tube amps are still being bought so that cant be right?

Hmm maybe after 18 years I should give the tone knobs a try? Besides dialing back very slightly mayve 0.5/10 I never touch them. Don't really like what they do.

You won’t regret it.

I have this amp and it's FANTASTIC...especially when you can really crank it in a live setting. My band members were just blown away with the tone.

Those Astorias are great amps, I’m surprised they weren’t more popular.

@@TheStudioRats from the research that I did on the Astoria (when a mint-condition combo found it's way onto my radar a few months ago), it seems that the Astoria range (especially the Customs) were considered nice amps, but far too expensive for most. the other issue that Marshall purists seemed to have with them was the aesthetics...it seems that Marshall fans want EVERY amp they ever release to look like a Plexi or a JCM800 - end of story! fortunately for me, I'm not biased and I love the dark red tolex with the cream GT stripe! :) I was lucky and picked mine up for a great price. cosmetically it was perfect and clean, but it did have a dodgy pre-amp valve. I decided to change every valve in there with Genelex Gold Lions, and I'm very happy with it. Oh, and for 30 watts (also switchable to 5W)...it's LOUD! :)

Cheers, it’s a great amp.

I play hard rock/metal and its great!!! My mesa and EVH's have not been used lately............It CUTS through the mix so much better than the high preamp gain amps.

​@@cbiltz75What do you use for gain? Tubescreamer?

@@user-lv7ph7hs7lThe amp alone!!! Well a Boss Sd-1 for a touch more but the gain all the way down and the level all the way up on the pedal.

@@cbiltz75 Wow it does have a lot of distortion, I have a tubescreamer on order anyway, that should do the job. Now I just need to find 850€ put a good speaker in my DSL401 so I can use that as a cab until I recover from the 850 for dedicated 2x12... it does sound absolutely gorgeous but I'll need a power soak. My neighbours are tolerant but not that tolerant to crank 20 W.

Cheers Jimmy.

Hi thanks for the sub. I’ve just got the jubilee to review, and I’ve ordered one.

Cheers.

Cheers Paul.

Yeah it’s great!

Ist mir ein Rätsel. Ein Tube Amp Doctor Plexi 18 Watt Kid bläst das Teil soundmässig völlig an die Wand.

I just viewed a demo of the Devided By 13 BTR23 and it sounded dull to my ears compared to this.

@@gilldanier4129 BTR23 dull? You need to hear one in person. It's on an entirely higher level of guitar amplification.

Oh yeah I’d like a vintage one. Hang on to it they are shooting up in price.

@@TheStudioRats Is this made in Bletchley? amp choice gets more& more confusing. This is a tube amp. The future for tubes is uncertain-more so than since the Ukraine invasion... why not a get those sounds with a Katana or Mustang and a few more? or is it not the same?

@@vincentl.9469 While the Katana and Mustang certainly can do these kind of tones, once you play the real deal you won't want to go back. In my opinion the modelling stuff is good for finding out what kind of a tone you like, but eventually you probably want to get an amp that does 1 or 2 things really well instead of 200 passable things. It's hard to explain, you should try them side by side

@@pavielanastazie9509 I have both-a valve combo & two Rolands. With SS, there are very few maintenance issues, the sounds are good and consistent . Not many issues with the valve combo, and the tone feels 'authentic' if I can put it that way, but it needs handling with care and in hot weather they do run extra hot...

​@@vincentl.9469I find tubes more fun to play due to the feel and response. I also like my katana mk1 100w. Ss is great for practice ect. With tube amps you really need an attenuator for home use. I use an ironman mini, but the cheaper ones still work

Cheers it’s a custom shop 62

Nice one. There’s a back order at the moment, so I’m expecting my one in a couple of months.

@@TheStudioRats you should buy a little black amp box by JHS, or a passive volume knob of any kind. It opens up the tonal possibilities massively. You can drive both channels like you would a preamp section, while using the passive knob as a master and get heavy sounds quietly or moderately. Then when you throw a clean boost into the mix it will do everything a jcm800 will do and more..at moderate levels. The amp sounds so much warmer when you're driving it's front end!

Cheers. Yes I listen out of my studio monitors.

We used to bloody 10 Pence them but it just didn’t roll off your tongue very well.

Unless you have a custom one that goes to eleven...

The amp needs to be turned up, get an attenuator then even a boost before it sounds great.

Nice midds tone on that telli

Cheers yep I picked it up recently, it’s great but I can’t work out if I should trade it for a custom 24 with the extra switching??

@@TheStudioRats No!!! DGT is perfect! You'll miss the thicker body, the custom 24 won't have the same thick rock presence.. Hey, I'm sure you know what you're doing, but ..it's just painful seeing someone with your dream rig .. that doesn't even want to keep it!

I feel ya man. I'm green jelly!

Hi Kyle, yep it running into the ox.

Yeah Page recorded a lot of Zeppelin using a telecaster. They are an amazingly versatile guitar.

Cheers, yes I think it will be loud enough if your not trying to run it clean. It does have an effects loop.

I have one of these amps, and it would absolutely be loud enough for a pub band...as for clean/dirty, you can leave it jumped between high 2 and low 1 and alternate between the high 1 input, for dirty and the low 2 input for a lovely clean with nothing more than a little volume modulation here and there. also, if you need a lottle extra punch and volume, running it through a 4x12 helps...t's lovely! ☺

Hi Bobby. I’m waiting for the studio JCM and the Studio Jubilee to turn up. I’ll do a comparison vid when they do. The Jubilee was my favourite when I tried them before.

It's plenty loud enough to gig with these days,

Ive got the combo but wish I got the head and cab, Im running my combo with a 1x12 g12h celestion cab and sounds so much better than the 10 inch alone, idk why they made it with a 10 instead of 12 like the silver jubilee.

@@UndersackitchFungalbollock Marshall may have thought that a 10” speaker would cut through the mix best for a combo.

@@UndersackitchFungalbollock Some players like 10's, especially 2x10 combos. I'm like you, I love a 12.

@@UndersackitchFungalbollock The Origin head is great also and it's a lot cheaper than this Studio Vintage.

Those MK2 JMPs are monster amps, I’ve got a 100 watt master volume one and without an attenuator anything above about 3 is deafening!

Hi Charles, I’m afraid it was some time ago and don’t remember, but by the so d of it it was probably an Xotic bb preamp.

I always enjoyed the clean channel a lot. But the OD channels better. I donlove my DSL401 very much and I plan on sticking a Creamback in there but long term I need a mini Plexi. Can't stomach selling the DSL though, so I'll have to save for the SV20H. Probably run ut through the can until I can afford a seperate one....

I’m using a two notes torpedo studio

Hey Black Mirror, maybe at some point. Marshall only sent me the 800 and the plexi. Unfortunately they are going back this week. I’m going to miss the Plexi.

@@TheStudioRats wow you betchya - you had a lot of fun with those, especially the Vintage. Could the boys club together for a studio investment? Many thanks, Paul
