The Official Marshall Studio Vintage Thread Sv20h

The chord strumming in the beginning is literally the worst that I have heard these amps sound. The rest of the video wasn’t bad though.

Yeah it’s a little raw

Both those amps sound really good in the Musicians Friend vid. I’m really digging the SV. Wow!

I agree, they sound amazing. I wish that they were in my budget, I will absolutely have one of each eventually.

These will be killer used amps. 4-5 years out they will be a steal.

I'm guessing the recorder wasn't that hot. That is Dan Hawkins from The Darkness. Responsible for some of the best Marshall tones in the last 15 years. You could tell when Dan moved about the sound changed. Always a sign that the guy videoing is stood in the wrong place.

So I dialed the high treble volume to max, normal to 3 in 20 watt mode (channels jumped) and played some Judas Priest riffs through a 4x12. This amp delivers the goods, the sound pressure goes through you and thumps you in the chest. It’s expensive yes, but you forget that when you play.

My ears ring!

That’s a great way to express the tones you’re getting, plus it looks as if you have a nice plethora of tones sitting their with the new 20 watt ! Cheers to all you can get with your new family member! Mitch

You need at least 3 more Marshall cabs! Your neighbors would never be able to hear that!
Congrats man!

I want one.

I've been looking for a low-wattage Marshall head to use for small club gigs, and was looking at the 2061-style reissues. Still kind of on the fence about that one, since the 2061's are hand-wired and have the same wattage, and I imagine the Studio Vintage has one of those printed circuitboards. But so far I'm hearing nothing but good stuff about them. One thing I do want is to be able to jumper the channels.

I picked up one of those cheap Marshall 2X12 cabs they put out a few years back that everyone hated, but I bought it for next to nothing. I'm pretty sure whatever head I wind up getting will do well through it, it actually sounds pretty darned good and will be easy to carry since it's super light. And for clean tones I have a Fender Deluxe Reverb '65 reissue that sounds great!

I'm not all that worried about pushing the amp's volume since I get most of my distortion from my pedalboard anyhoo.

So with this amp, you have 20w and 5w modes built in. If you also had a purpose designed attenuator with two switched settings: -3db and -12db (and -15db together), you could tune this amp to each of the following:
20, 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.6 0.3 and 0.15W, ie, up to -21db relative to 20W full power, in small 3db increments. That wouldn't be a complicated project either, to design nor to build.

What speaker Ohms does the combo come with? the manual doesn't seem to say.

I was wondering about the Ohm thingie myself..It would be nice if it was switchable like the big boys are.

The SV blows away the 2061x.
Believe me.

The SV blows away the 2061x.
Believe me.

A horse of a different color

 

[SlyStrat]

Getting my favorite type of tone with both channel volumes on 8.

 

[Emiel]

The SV blows away the 2061x.
Believe me.

Would you like to elaborate? Would love to hear more about a comparison between the two.

 

[SlyStrat]

The SV sounds way more like a plexi.
It has more power, bigger/thicker notes, more articulate with gain, better everything.
To my ears the 2061x is anemic in comparison. Hand wired doesnt mean better tone.

 

[SlyStrat]

A Tung Sol 12AX7 in V1 sounds way better than the stock tube. More balanced string to string, more 3D, not dull and muddy, cuts through better. Like taking a blanket off.

 

[johan.b]

.. just an interesting little observation... the panel window on the sv20h is exactly the same size as the panel window on my 50 watt plexi clone... so if someone wanted to, I'm sure they could fit the chassis into a bigger headbox. .. or the other way around...it estetic call for it, that is..

[Medronio]

So, the SV has 4 ohm jacks, hum what to do?
Oh yeah, run it in to both the 2061Cx and the Bogner 2x12, 4 creambacks……………………………..
My ears are ringing now! In 20 watt mode, there it is!
"Holy bajebus mother of god!!!!!
Tone & Mojo!!!!!
Marshall is going to sell loads of these amps!

This is what i wanted to hear
Yeah thank you

 

[johan.b]

Get yours today... once Johan Segeborn gets a hold of one of these and make a video, they will be on backorder for foreseeable time...

 

[Buzzard]

Why,is they’re a demand for generic sounding amps ?lol. Every amp he gets his hands on sounds the same the way he either eq’s Them or plays. Imo
