Marshall Studio Vintage – More than a one trick pony but is it “too loud”?


I’ve gotten a lot of questions about the Marshall Studio Vintage Combo amp so I decided to make this video using a variety of settings, guitars, and pedals to really put it through it’s paces to let it speak for itself.

GEAR/DEMO NOTES – Interestingly, all segments done on the Jaguar with the amp in full power mode. The PRS absolutely would have been a little smoother on the low sensitivity input. The Strat and the Les Paul were both perfect. That is all for today.

0:00 You have a lot of questions..
0:31 Inputs matter
0:54 Fender Jaguar on the Normal Channel
2:12 Testing the effects loop
2:51 Using the amp as a pedal platform
3:38 Did it tame the Jaguar?
4:14 PRS CE-24 on the High Treble Channel
5:47 Strat and Les Paul with the channels jumped
7:28 A match made in heaven
7:51 So, is it too loud to use at home?
9:12 Wrapping things up

  • Very enjoyable review Jim…

    I've had that amp for 4 years I think it is now. It was the reason I bought an attenuator!

    However, I ditched the attenuator about a year or so back and I find it much more enjoyable to play. I still think it's a bit loud to play as my neighbours are fairly close. Perhaps that's because I want to use it loud, so maybe there's just that inclination.

    All of my offsets sound excellent.. Your jag sounded killer!

  • I've been wanting one of these since they were released but I have too many (cheap) amps taking up space. I live in a house but even moderate volume that would be comfortable for me would annoy the other residents LOL. A 1W DSL into a Vintage 30 is 100 dB.
    I preferred the LP, but that's because I'm old and an LP into a Marshall is where it's at. P-90s, humbuckers or mini humbuckers, it's all good. I do have Teles and Squiers; I'm not a Gibson snob.

  • Hey if that's not the one, then what amp should I get to initiate that divorce? Please keep your recommendations under the cost of a really cheap lawyer.

  • It’s funny you know, I dunno if it’s an age thing or just coming round over the years to the fact that a good guitar into a Marshall amp is just a fantastic sound. A proper rock n roll sound, familiar yet crazy inspiring. It definitely suited the fenders amazingly and I preferred that sound vastly over the PRS (which surprised me, tbh and that still sounded great don’t get me wrong!) but of course for outright rock tone- there was only one growling winner and that was the LP for me???????? but the fenders sounded incredible across a broader spectrum – these are good options to have ???? great demo as ever mate!
