The Greatest Amp of All Time / Marshall 1959HW
In this video, we’re checking out the Marshall 1959HW, a fully hand-wired Super Lead Plexi 100 watt amp made at the Marshall factory in the UK. This video is not sponsored by Marshall, I’m just a huge Marshall enthusiast. I know there are more Plexi models such as the 1967 Black Flag JTM, the Marshall Major, with variations to the circuits but I wanted to keep the video simple. Feel free to share your knowledge of the Plexi in the comments!
Gibson Les Paul, straight into the Marshall, into the OX Box cab sim (4×12 Greenbacks with 57s, raw, no effects), reverb is added post recording.

Gute Hardware ist das eine…
Er spielt göttlich…????holt alles raus. Dankeschön ????
What speakers?
Too bad the guy doesn't know how to play the guitar.
haha
Just the opposite, holy smokes!
It’s all good until his mom walks in and tells him to STFU. ????
Dream amp for sure!
Question. For us mere mortals who can’t afford this, what amp would you recommend for bedroom playing? Marshall Studio Plexi?
KooL !
I own one, love it. But god give us master volume and two channels thanks
Great playing and obviously great amp. But do not waste your time on demoing or showing off licks – start recording your own music, I guess you have some good riffs of your own.
Great tone and killer playing man! What pickups on the les paul?
Internal components materials and availability varied greatly back in the day.
Why is this sped up?
sounds like you know how to play!
No matter what…Marshall is the thing, right?
Amazing tone here!
Congrats!
what would happen when ppl realize Jimmy page used an "marshall bass 68 " isntead of "marshall lead 59 "
Sounds great! super solid playing
Bro if there is such thing as a perfect match it’s a Les Paul throug a fat sounding Marshall
The most important quality is "TONE" and it can not be faked or purchased in a pedal. The greatest amps ever made were restricted to 4 specific years of the Plexi. ONLY the 68, 69, 70 and 71 had the magic! The 1959HW reissue is only good for a donor amp if your getting it modded by Ground Zero, Friedman, Hermansson, Monomyth or Dan Gower. The true magic tone is only the four years I mentioned. Marshalls from 67 and earlier or from 72 onward sound terrible, with the exception of the original Jubilee. And while "some" of the 800's can be made to sound good they still do not have the tone quality of those 4 Plexi's! Now if you are lucky enough to get one of those specific vintage Plexi's what you can create with them is truly spectacular when combined with the right add ons like EVH did. Unfortunately they only made aprox 1000 of the 1959 Super Leads each year (of each the 50W and 100W) and its guesstimated that less than 500 of each survived the last 55 years. Its also true tat most of them sound different due to inconsistencies in hand made manufacturing and aging of the carbon resistors! If you are lucky enough to acquire one hang on to it as it will only increase in value. Average price for the 100W is between $7000 and $14000 depending on condition, unique sound and transformer rarity.
Congrats! There's nothing like the heavenly tone of a Plexi. I love those amps. But being a basement only 'rock star', I have to stick with the studio versions.
I WANT THIS AMP!!! NOW!!! Amazing sound and playing man!
It’s not the exact same thing. The transformers and components are not the same
Congrats man! That amp found a great home!
Hy,so you can have this amp in house,with low sound??????????????
Sv20 is also a plexi? Or am i wrong
Is it super loud when you play like people are going to hate you loud
You are a monster! ????
Yoo,the plexi modified,is worth it to?
2:36 I see the habitual making sure the volume knobs are on 10 when playing lead, I do the same thing! Anyone who is a volume pot rider will relate!
i closed my eyes and heard Paul kossoff and Gary Moore , great playing fella , have this model on my Tonex , its awesome
wow man! You can jam !
With built in tone that great Eddie Van Halen didn't have to push it much,just turned it up all the way
No effects loop?Wonder why ?
Excellent job Jacob! Of all the people explaining amps and what they can do – I have to admit you are the best. Love your playing brother!
Damn! Friggin total awesomeness ????
Holy grail sound! This is a real sound Marshall.
The 100 Watt Plexi !! ????????????❤️????
