Altec 417H

Altec sucks compared to celestion

@@ericandrews1661 Do you not like Randy's tone? Especially on Diary? What sucks about it... please enlighten us.

@@ericandrews1661 : First off you don’t know what you’re talking about! That’s an opinion not fact. That being said I will say that I hated Randy’s tone but till this day I’m blown away crazy about about his playing. On the other hand someone like Dicky Betts had an amazing tone with an old Marshall through Altec 417’s and his PAF pickups. I played through one of Duane’s original rigs and that had D120 JBL’s and that was great too. The reason most guys like Celestion’s mostly 25 watt Green Backs and Vintage 30’s is because those speakers color the sound and distort very easily as opposed to an Altec or JBL. When I worked at Kramer and BC Rich we’d have guys come in talking shit that shredded playing metal back in the day and I’d plug them into a JMP head and 4X12 loaded with EV’s and all that talking shit would cease because these guys couldn’t play a lick through that rig. They’d ask for a BOSS distortion pedal and want 8’s or 9’s on their guitars. Not the 10’s or 11’s on a Les Paul with PAF’s. So opinion is your’s but remember for all intensive purposes an old Celestion or Jensen is a shit speaker that us players like cause we can manipulate it with our pickups and amps. Back in the day an E120 JBL, a Guass or EVM was far more honest! D120’s being Alnico and less wattage or Altec’s being the same we’re still being manipulated but still more honest than the Celestion’s or Jensen’s.

@@theirritatedirishman5440 but your opinion is fact . Yeah okay.

AFD sucked as well as the vintage modern.The YJM incredible.

Thanks! 🤘❤️

Missing are still his Altec Speaker selection.

Need dual delays both split into A&B cabs while off settings a hair in milliseconds from each other. Use resonant comb filter settings in low milliseconds to truly capture his elusive tone. Max used AMS DMX delays in post but can use it just fine up front. Also can use Yamaha E1010 for resonant comb filter in low milliseconds and go into any lexicon dual prime time into separate cabs. MXR distortion set at 45% and level at 75% let those other delay racks thicken up and open up with huge randy tone.

he clearly said that the amp was modified on the preamp section, and he used that modified amp as a basis.

He never said he was trying to get his tone,it’s a amp demo not a tone demo

I actually like this tone much more then Randys. It’s more clean and you can hear every note ringing. I am still a big RR fan .

Yep. KZfaq would shaft him.

The riffs were cool tho

On the OFFICIAL MASHALL KZfaq CHANNEL nonetheless

@@michaelgarcia2050 Sharon would, if KZfaq didn't.

It's a bit extreme when people can't play guitar rifs without getting demonized.

😂

kwkw i think is same

Marshall don't need Sharon coming down on them with the lawyers for copyright infringement.

@@abnzg thats not how it works. you can cover a song on youtube. i have. its the fact this is really a commercial for Marshall. its a nice amp, and we're all gawking at it but truth its a commercial for goods for sale.

@@shimonbenloulou1778 so you're agreeing with me. because that's exactly how it works.

Was just thinking the same...

Different kind of copyrights.

Why would Sharon Osbourne hold any rights over Randy's name. That would fall to his family.

@@DM-sy4hg not the name, the riffs. The riffs are from oz songs and he have the copyright

@@victorsantos9129 and that still would have nothing to do with Sharon, that's the record company.

Steve smith!

He is the Man from U.N.C.L.E

Isn't the Slash just a Jubilee head ?

@@rodrossi9749 Yep Slash uses the Jubilee heads

@Carl Rheinhardt...... then obviously you don't want a Silver Jubilee, since they are one in the same.

@Carl Rheinhardt ..... tubes and transformers can change everything .

@Carl Rheinhardt definitely a good assumption, I'm sure you would have liked it with new tubes and a proper re-biasing. 👍

Roswell shaped charvels lol? Randy only had 2 jackson rhoads models and a rhoads prototype that he died before getting. Youre making up stuff 😏

@@Kris-xs7kc also Randy's thing was bowties, he only had the one polka dot V and nothing else even hinted towards polka dots.

@@zakkmylde1712 more like vests.. bowties were QR era

@@Kris-xs7kc the inlays on most of his custom guitars were still bowties.

@@zakkmylde1712 no, only the karl sandoval polka dot V had bow tie inlays, and that was in the QR era when he got it in 77. His jacksons had square and triangle inlays.

I wonder as well. 😁 Not that i need another one.

Recently Marshall has been releasing video playthroughs of classic signature amps they have made over the years. Amps sitting around the Marshall Museum that are no longer in production.

@@JBASH2011 Thanks, Jeff!

@@marshallamps why not make this amp available again? It has the classic Marshall sound to me. Sounds right. That's it.

@@marshallamps but is marshall re releasing any amps like this 👁👄👁

Would be amazing

No, totally different circuit.

You can already preorder them at Thomann!

@@reneotten7376 i cant find it, send link please!

Hell yeah. Jmp and jcm in one amp. Wouldnt even need all the modern outputs.

@Biggerino I just sold my g75 :( miss my icepick speaker. I think all of the celestions have function, now I use a v30 with mesa blackshadow. In the future I will buy a g75 again, very top speaker yes :)

he’s playing straight through the amp with no pedals. of course its not gunna sound exactly like Randy’s 🤦‍♂️

Yes, the 1978 100 watt 1 /12 combo has rocker switches, 4 input just like a plexi, and a separate master volume on the front panel, the one variant is the transformer is only 4 or 8 ohms

Hello, we're celebrating our heritage by releasing playthroughs of classic or limited-edition signature amps we have made over the years - an exploration of the legendary amps in our Marshall Museum archive that are no longer in production.

The 1959RR was a limited-edition amplifier released in 2008, and was limited to 600 units.

That’s the original tone of the plexi / JMP, if you need more gain you add a boost pedal in front of the amp, the old-school way :)

@@GuillaumeVrac If I need more distortion, I'll just buy a different amp that has more distortion... 🙄

@@ChucksterOLove each to their own. But nothing compare to a real Marshall plexi whatever amount of distortion you want to get from it.
