Great review Tony. I really like your no BS approach and in depth reviews. Keep them coming. IMO Marshall are absolutely nailing it with these studio amps and evidently surpassing so called boutique amp builders in terms of build quality. Made in England too, as Marshalls should be.

Glad you liked this review. I was surprised that after this review Marshall 'subscribed' to me! So I guess they liked it. I like the Studio series too and cheap enough (at least in the UK) to be affordable. I would love to see one of the more modern Marshall amps in the 20w format too like a 410HJS (preferably) but unlikely they could use the (JS) part at the end. Might cost a little more but I'm sure that amp would also sell well. There are some good boutique amp makers, but generally the costs involved are very high (generally made USA way) with little real advantage over the Studio series and I think they know it. Thanks for the post and for watching. I'm thinking of 'revisiting the Marshall JVM410HJS head as that offers so much by way of tones and its so different than the 410H version...

@stillpist - it might be a very big deal in some countries... I completely agree, but my board for the TSL100 when I did it was about £120.00 which to be honest was a really good deal.

I guessing that was the price of the board itself and you did the work yourself? I'm not a tech and am no way comfortable doing that sort of thing. I would imagine if you brought it to a shop it would cost 3 or 4 times that. Mostly I'm just frustrated that amp companies make engineering decisions that lead to failures when they could literally spend a few dollars more in production to fix some of these glaring problems. Seems like planned obsolescence to me and that's in part why I bear my name.

Thanks for this review Tony. The normal reviews of "Oh, look...it makes noise!", got old rather quick since I was even more interested about the build quality, like whether the resistors were on or off the board. As you pointed out, having the resistors lifted off the board goes hand in hand with reliability. Cheers!

I agree... I did watch a couple of other reviews and they never really cover what I might want to see - but I get that. My reviews are content focused to what I might want to know myself, and its the reason I started reviewing back in about 2010 on YT. I have made them ever since, but it is harder now with less real new stuff out there, unless you like Tonex and that type of stuff. I found that not very good and the software let it down... a more common trait these days with the digital stuff from what I see. Yes the resistors for all the Studio amps (at the very least) are all off the board. I have seen so many that are hard fixed to the PCB... which IMO is a seriously not good way to have cement resistors. Marshall even lift the 1/2w ones off the board... Others generally don't. It says so much to me... Thanks for watching.

@@tonymckenzieofficial From my understanding, when Marshall first started using PCB's it came with a learning curve. They upgraded the quality of the PCB's and stood off the resistors as a result, and now have a quality PCB product. Unfortunately, there is another well known brand that hasn't implemented Marshall's "Lessons Learned". I love the EQ of the JTM's and am soooo tempted to get one. But at the same time, I can closely emulate that EQ with my Quilter Superblock UK & US that I run in stereo into a Marshall cab. The stereo rig also takes up less space on my end table/cabinet that's next to my chair too. LOL

Tony, this is the among best amplifier review I have ever watched here on KZitem. I have been watching your video's for a couple of years now so today I have subscribed. I wish to encourage you to continue to educate people about amplifiers as you talk about how they sound and also about how they are built and that is something very few people do. Please continue as your efforts are greatly appreciated (and needed). I am 73 years of age and my favorite guitar amplifier is the Marshall JTM45 /2245, but for some reason I have had bad luck with them and all 3 JTM45's that I purchased brand new had issues within 10 days so I returned each of them. I still want the JTM45 sound as it inspires me. If I can get that sound from the new Marshall JTM Studio ST20 I shall purchase one immediately. If I need the Xotic SL Drive Mini overdrive pedal to get that sound using the JTM Studio ST20 then I shall get both immediately. Or if only the Marshall JTM45 can get that sound I shall try again and get another new JTM45. I am of an age that I want to be satisfied with my sound as I play all day and for several hours every day and evening of my life. I am not a wealthy man but the price for me is worth it. My playing is something close to a jazz, blues, rock with a touch of metal thrown in. I have no need to play extremely loud but I still like a long sustain note available when I want to play one. I actually play at a softer, moderate volume and Allow the tone to carry me away. Marshall JTM45/2245 has that tone at any volume I want. I love the tone. To me the JTM45 has a strong bottom end tone and when I play I dial up the bass while lowering both the mids and treble controls on the amplifier to get the sound that I like best. I also like to play through my Marshall Origin Full stack because two 412 cabs (the top 412 is a slant or type "A" and the bottom is the type "B" 412 cab) can really distribute the sound all throughout my living room/studio. I had a Marshall 1960A and 1960B Full stack years ago but sold it when we moved. I am settled in now in our own home but my finances have changes and now I have the newer Marshall Origin 412A and Marshall Origin 412B Full stack Still not too bad at all! Now, having heard your playing at the end portion of this video I can say that my playing is similar to yours as played here. Well, your notes have a certain amount of more treble than mine but otherwise our styles are close enough. - Peter age 73

Peter - forget the age thing... you're as old as your mind allows you to be - there are far too many that cite age on YT and that frankly ageism seems pretty common. Of course, like me you are a wealth of knowledge from practical experience and that is in my opinion important - and when someone posts like you have its all to easy to see that... I'm nearly as old, but you know what, it's all about what you like to do. I still work too, but because I WANT to... these values all mater Peter and its great to read your post - clearly you love the Marshall JTM45 :) This little ST20H I showed is a very good product - its clearly not a top end amp, but my guess is that for the money it might be hard to find another equivalent. The price might be higher if you're in the USA of course... Marshall are cheaper here. But it IS worth at least trying one out - indeed as I did. I do play lots of styles from older stuff, blues, rock heavy rock and some metal but I do have a number of amps and I tend to use those depending on exactly what tones I want at the time. The Boss Blues 2 pedal also had a good sound with the ST20H I thought. Ah the 1962 A and B :) I tend to have the 1962A cabs but ha I have too many. The origin cabs are great value for the money I think. In any case, let me know how you go on with it all - I would love to know what you end up with :).... and thanks for the post and for watching.

Well the amp is probably better than what many think re the JTM name. Nothing wrong with them, but I did feel that this JTM Studio is different sounding to me. It can do a lot and so I refer guys to check the Marshall playing review as that has it all covered in general. It was better than what I envisaged tone wise. All Studio's are PCB as you might know, but they seem reliable and well enough made, but only time will tell. Will they be running in 50 years? THAT is the question :). This review was entirely financed by me, and Fair Deal is mentioned because I like them... I bought my Gibson Jimmy Page from Gary way back at musical exchanges in about 1996 or thereabouts... and FDM are brillaint at Marshall gear... thanks.

Was getting tempted but I'm not sure that PCB mounted valves and controls are a good thing, my pair of 79 Marshall mk 11 master volume combos 50w have gigged almost non stop over the decades and not one problem so far, if we are to purchase PCB mounted gear then we might as well go for Marshall MGs, they are PCB wired not good and I'm sure that their lifetimes are limited, electrical engineers are finding good work with some of the marshall PCB boards.

Hi Tony. I love that you take the amp apart and walk through things like lead dress, circuit boards and transformers, and build quality. I think you are the only one that does that - and its super cool. Being an amp nerd, I love to see those kinds of details and it makes a huge influence on me dropping real money on one of these expensive models. I agree with you about some of the boutique amps being lax on some of the things like putting power resistors snug to the board, instead of raised up for airflow, and provoking burnt circuit boards failures. There are a couple of things I would love to see in your reviews. 1. A side by side comparison between these MINI style heads and the original big heads - do they really sound the same or close enough? 2. An objective measure of relative volume - which is super important if you play live gigs with drummers versus at bedroom volume levels. My rational is that its super hard to gauge useable volume (especially in non-master vol amps) for things like clean, breakup, and heavy distortion based on videos. It would be cool is to measure things like what is the max volume level can you hit cleans tones with before the amp goes from clean to breakup (xxx dB, assuming no drive pedals). Anyway - thanks so much for your review - keep doing it, I really appreciate your work!

Great post and thanks for taking the time to do it. I have a Marshall 1959 Hand Wired head, but trying to compare that with the studio ST Vintage would be VERY hard to do. Sure I can use the loading on the 100 watt to bring down the volume, but that alone changes the tone and feel. All I can say is that the 1959HW through a 4x12 Marshall cab turned up really can't be compared in the way you mention (no matter what any of them out there tell you). Having said that, the ST does sound like the 1959 but unless you have the same volumes and drive (not really possible) it won't sound exactly the same or feel the same, but it IS inspirational and certainly gives the feel that can inspire of that there is no doubt. While I really like the JTM ST20 shown here, really I prefer other Studio models because of the style I actually play. I could use pedals etc. but I tend to only use a wah and rarely anything else. So the preamp drive is important to me... but that's just me. Other guys really love this amp more than I do, but I always try and offer a view that is genuine and my own shortcoming through style should not really affect the review. These amps although you might not think so, can be very loud... but in a different way than say that 1959 HW. The best answer as always is to try one if you can, and if you can't always buy from where you can return it!. Thanks for the post and for watching too.

My website is interesting too especially if you have never been there... to be fair it has not been updated in some time, but it still gets thousands of hits each month and they are not going there for nothing :). Thanks for watching and the post.

Thanks for watching. Yes I like Fair Deal Music - and they are really good on Marshall gear. I always go there myself... and I met Gary a very long time ago at Musical Exchanges in Birmingham (about 1996). Gary is a credit to wherever he works too. On the tones - some guys accuse me of 'you can't play' (ho ho ho - I sure can) and all that stuff but just playing the music alone does not really show those tones for this amp. I could have cranked and played metal on the amp but not the best answer. The last track was cut through a 'copyright' claim from someone that certainly was not Gary Moore... and that had some rock chords in there that might have well also shown the tones of the amp for that situation (think Thin Lizzy) but I cut it because to be honest I did not believe the complainant really. Oh well. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much brother, for making this very interesting and highly informative video. I own two Marshall Studio Series 20 watt tube ampheads that I love. 1 SV 20 mini 1959SLP, and 1 Mini Silver Jubilee. Plexi Amps and Modded Plexi Amps have always been my favorite amps to play on. I've always had the opinion that both Plexi and Modded Plexi Amps sound the absolute best when played through Celestion UK Made Greenbacks. The Greenbacks compliment those 2 amps so well . They are my alltime favorite speakers, be they in a 2x12, 4x12, or Full Stack, in the event that a person might want to do some enjoyable house demolition, ripping neighbirhood houses, off their foundations! 😂😮😊, particularly when playing Plexi and/or Modded Plexi. My favorite speaker combination, in a 4x12 closed back cabinet is 2 UK Made Greenbacks on Top, and 2 Vintage 30's on the bottom. I'm glad that I just discovered and subscribed to your channel on You Tube. Greetings and Much Love and Respect From Sonny, in New Orleans, La. PS. Do you live in England.

Presently I'm going to show a JVM410HJS (Satch head) which is also very interesting. On cabs I just stick with 1960a, and the old 100w head (hand wired they said) and a vintage modern cab too. Those all cover the 30s, 70/75w and other speakers - I have about 6 Marshall cabs and those are used for all my amps (about 20 inc Marshall, Diezel, Mesa, EVH and many more) and I find those all brilliant speakers... yes they are all Celestions and as I have owned them for years will all be UK made...

That Strat neck pickup really took a shine to that amp. I want one but new they are $1750 dollars in the US. I can get a new DSL100 head and 4x12 cab for the same price. However, all the other 20watt Marshall heads are made outside the UK. Go figure. I assumed mainly because the ST20 is made in the UK and the DSL100 is made in Vietnam but that does not jive since all the 20watt Marshall heads are priced at $1750 dollars here. No matter from where they come from. Great job as always Tony.

Check those Studio heads again (I have not checked any combos) - you can check my reviews - all the ones I have are UK made... but would be interesting to get a picture of the Studios made not in the UK?

Do you think that these amps are actually 'made' in the UK to any degree other than possibly mounting a fully soldered PCB (assembled in Asia) inside the chassis? The PCB and assembly of the Vietnamese made Origin series look like they were assembled in the exact same factory as these Studio series. Giving a brief read of the regulations in the UK for the label ('which allows its members to use the trademark to identify their products of British origin'), I think a brand with such strong British associated heritage would give them (or their lawyers) quite a bit of wiggle room around the definition. The amps all seem to be good quality, but that labeling commands a heavy premium. I knew what I was getting when I bought an Origin, but I'd be a little peeved if I bought one of these Studio series at nearly twice the price only to discover they more or less came from the same plant.
@tonymckenzieofficial
Жыл бұрын
Sadly you are wrong about this amp. This amp is not an Origin. Watch the video I made for a factory tour. Since 2010 when I first went around the factory and created the tour with Phil Wells as host, I have yet to see Marshall lie to me. There would be no point and do bear in mind that this is NOT a sponsored review in any way. I don't own a Origin amp either so I won't expand any view regarding Origin, but the Studio here IS different. Of course, taking a look at a Fractal Audio FX III that is shipped from Hong Kong (or was) and ending up with a USA badge on it really is taking the mickey? right? It might be easy to confuse the two makers, but Marshall show specifically where each amp is made on the casing and I have been there and seen them. Pulling Marshall apart is one thing, its an opinion of course and is as valid as any other including mine, but I/we/you could say the very same comment for very many 'makers' out there and not just for amps. I do get your point of course, and I get frustrated when I paid £1400 for a so called 'top brand' USA amp (as it was marketed) and find that it was even made by a different company and not in a good way. I have been there... but make no mistake, if I found problems on this amp I would be the first to say so. Clearly, there are very few amps that don't contain far east components which really is a slightly different aspect... (I can't name one) but Marshall do have the production line right here in the UK. Another point is the approvals emblazoned on this amp: I have seen so many products that claim CE UKCA, and other certifications, but in reality from my own experience often its pie in the sky. I have seen the gear used for some of the testing of the approvals and I have no doubt whatsoever that their approvals are anything except genuine. No one mentions that sort of stuff, but a simple investigation in to 'CE or China Export' might open the eyes of the reader where Chinese goods supposed to comply but simply don't. Thanks for the post, interesting of course and a good point. And thanks for watching.

I would buy a Friedman Little Sister over any Marshall Studio amp. They have an unbelievable warranty and Friedman isn’t fussy about whom does repairs. They are still using the same iron and rather inexpensive PCB as the Origin series. They just don’t warrant the price. The use of 5881’s or EL34’s at 20 watts in fixed bias is a gimmick. A bit wasteful too. Thank you for actually taking the time to take the amp out of the cabinet and show everyone the inside of the chassis. More people need to understand what they’re buying. I would give this amp a passing score, especially for recent Marshall. It looks fantastic and it’s reasonably put together.
