Which Marshall Would You Choose – JTM45 or 1987x Plexi?
Two iconic Marshalls - which one would you choose?
Welcome to the show! A very simple proposition today - take two classic Marshalls, give ‘em a hammering and see what’s what.
Both amps are modern reissues: a 2245 JTM45 and a 1987x ‘Plexi’. They are both non-master volume amps that you will hear through the same cabinet. No attenuators, no direct sounds, no cab modelling, no post EQ or plugins – just the amps, speakers and microphones.
Big thanks to our mate Jake Loosemore for selling us the JTM45!
Questions arising…
How are you switching the amps?
With a Radial Headbone VT, remote switched via TheGigRig G3 - links below
What is the speaker cabinet?
A Marshall 1960AX 412 with Celestion G12M Greenback speakers
Why two mics?
There’s an Austrian Audio OC18 and an AKG D190e. I recorded them both and mixed them to taste. (Mick here, hello).
There’s also a goodly dose of stereo room mics in the mix - 2 x AKG C414XL.
Why no FX loop discussio
