Marshall Plexi with G System for volume control (no master volume)


In this video I’ll show you how to tame a non master volume Amp with a loop. All you need is a pedal or FX unit in the loop with a volume control. I’m using a new Marshall Vintage plexi and a T.C. Electronic G System. I’ll also show you how you can use the G System to simulate multiple channels on a single channel amp.

Equipment used: Gibson Les Paul Standard, Marshall Plexi 20 watt, T.C. Electronics G System, Marshall 4×12 with green backs, Shure SM57, Focusrite interface, GarageBand and Davinci.

  • Wow your set up sounds great. Which do you prefer the 20 watt plexi or the JCM800? Also, in your other video you mentioned that the amps can get too bright. Is that an equal problem for both or is one better on that issue?

  • Great vid, you have a very toneful setup there, nice sounding Les Paul, amp/cab and pedal board, nice playing and note choice. I loved the '80's too ( You can take the kid out of the '80's, but you can't take the '80's out of the kid)

  • Awesome video, I just bought a 1987x and yeah it’s stupidly loud. Hopefully this little hack helps to bring the volume down????

  • I use one of those cheap attenuators to tame the volume but if you want bedroom levels it does such the treble out.
    You have to run it a bit loud.

  • Trying my TC again my chain: TC front – insert out (loops SD1,TS9,L6M5) – to amp input – I'm not using the fx loop on my Origin 50 ….running a line out captor 8 to TC insert return – TC stereo out to HB poweramp 2 PA speakers for a W/D/W rig

  • Great video! Am I right to assume that all the time based effects were added in the efx loop as well before returning to the power stage of the dimed Plexi – and that the volume turned down in the loop also keeps the time based efx 'clean' and not being over driven at the power stage?

  • I use my line 6 Hx fx. Same way. I drop a volume pedal into one of the blocks and use that to control my overall output. It works great.

  • For about 12 – 15 bucks for the parts you can just make an effects loop volume control similar to jhs little black amp box.. a couple of input jacks and a audio taper pot and an enclosure, some solder and u have a nice little project and a new toy built by you!

  • Very useful and informative video. I would only say keep the reverb off for the crunch and overdrive settings for rhythm. Always seems to kill the tightness of a marshall. Otherwise sounds great.
