A Les Paul, 2 Marshall amps, 4 Marshall cabinets is the part of a well-balanced breakfast.
The. Cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast, big kahuna!!
I’m not a big Les Paul fan, but dang, that sounded awesome.
One of the most full-bodied guitar sounds you’ll ever get is from that guitar/amp combo.
Boydstun,yes! That needs to be on a t-shirt or something!
After 33 years of playing guitar and hauling around a big ol JCM 800 head and 4x12 to and from gigs, some Marshall engineers built my dream rig. It's 5 watt head, a pair of cabs with Celestions, and they branded it Blackstar. It sounds fantastic and I use it every day.
"If you want to move people
you have to move air
and what better way to do that
then 200 watts of power and 16 4x12"
The perfect recipe and one of the best quote of Rick
Totally improvised line :)
Quote of the week, if not the month.
16 x 4 = 64. That's a big ass wall of Marshalls
I know what's better: the above guitar rig next to a Rickenbacker bass played in stereo through a couple of Ampeg SVT's and 8x10 cabinets. Better yet use Sunn amps, if you can find them. Pretty sure that's what Geddy used back in the day. Orange AD200's will do the trick, too. That will pretty much force people to move whether they want to or not. Might set off car alarms or even make people puke if they stand too close to the cabinets. Making people puke from pure amp power should be your goal.
Sound Pressure Levels to the max in the right mix!
I bet this would sound quite a bit better on something other than my phone speaker
Plug your Sony MDR-V6 cans into you phone ;)
Ive put it through my Panosonic 80w TV sound bar - it sounds really good !!
😂it sounds amazing in my car even the lawnmower at the end😂
Well don't listen to music on a bloody phone speaker!!!!!!!
NightwishLover not even on 🚽🤳🏾
If moving air is what you need to move people, you need a tuba, not a Marshall stack :D get a tuba and people will start moving. I know, because I did and the neighbors moved.
Tubas rock!
A tube, mic'd up with a distortion pedal... Maybe some delay 😂
I am going get a tuba!
@@Jay-hq4lo That will be... you know... ALL METAL!!!
Plug the tuba on a Marshall and the whole neighborhood will move.
At first i thought it was a Johan Segeborn upload.
Great tones! Its still a desirable sound.
Ditto
Would love to have heard Rick say, “Let’s go”
ajajajaja me too!
LOL......said the same thing, read down, and saw your post.
Had to edit it to say something else.
Was just about to comment the same thing.
There is something so iconic and powerful about just the image of a Marshall stack. Those stacks are the backdrop to so many incredible shows throughout the past 50+ years. And that sound is freaking great. Aggressive, percussive and powerful. It makes me smile just looking at those two stacks next to each other! Love it!
One of the best channel on CZcams...who's agree with me???
I cant agree more...
Found it a few weeks ago... maybe we just have similar tastes in music, but Rick is giving me the music theory class I always wanted...
voodoochild1975az Yeah voodoo!
🤘😎🤘
If they don’t they need to wise up and get the Beato book ! And actually listen to Rick
Standing in front of a stack is a pleasure, and sounds like nothing else. It's always great live, it feels alive there's so much air moving around you, you feel it as much with your skin as your ears.
In a music store I managed back in the 1990s, I decided one night after closing, I’d check out what a Marshall stack sounded like dimed. That sound was incredible. The physical presence of the sound felt like the air in your lungs was being pulled out and your pant legs waving in the breeze. That was with just one stack. I can’t imagine two!
20 years ago, I had the opportunity to have two full stacks in my practice space. A JCM 900 and a VTM 120. I chained 'em together and turned 'em both to 10 with gains also dimed. I stood 20 feet away (as far as my cable would reach) and slowly rolled up the bridge pickup on my Epi LP Custom. The feedback alone was overwhelming. I hit that E power chord and it sounded louder than thunder! The walls rattled and I got a sudden wave of nausea from my insides vibrating. You could feel the sound more than you could hear it. It was wild, man.
I have an old Ampeg SBT bass cab with two 15” Altecs in it. My brother -in-law used to complain about how heavy it was, but he commented once how cool it felt when I hit a low E to end a certain song, and you actually felt it tickle the back of your neck.
That is rock and roll! Great to see and hear Dave shredding through that stack of goodness! Thanks as always Rick enjoy London and safe travels!
I cracked up when he noticed:"Dave your volume's down", but then I almost died from a sip of coffee for the little moment with the cable.
I see all the comments about hearing loss. I've never even played a Marshall stack or any stack. The loudest amp I've had was a Fender Twin Reverb. I played it for about five years in garages, basements, bars and my bedroom. It sounded great but here it is 30 years after I owned it and I'm paying the price. I can't blame it all on The Fender amp because I also went to lots of concerts from 1977 to around 1990 plus I work in the mechanical trades so that was a lot of exposure to noise also but to any of the younger viewers here who have not damaged your hearing, trust me, hearing loss really sucks. If you're going to play loud equipment, USE HEARING PROTECTION!
@@drewjohnson4794 Well like i said I've never played a Marshall stack so I don't really Know how loud they are. The bottom line of what I said is if you're going to play loud equipment, use hearing protection.
No
3:35 The stereo separation is very clear to hear, particularly through headphones !! Awesome !! Thanks, Rick !!
You hit the nail on the head when you said: "It's easy to put your Helix or Kemper in a bag and go to the gig, but is that what rock 'n roll is really about?" My Marshall stack has the mojo and I wouldn't leave home without it.
Christopher Kahn Mojo is what was missing, when Cream had their reunion at the Royal Albert Hall, no Marshall stacks, no Gibson guitar, WTF!
Amen to that. Same herer
How do you fit Ed Kemper in a bag...?
In the early/mid 2000’s I played full stacks in Seattle clubs for the very reason that it was a rock n roll band and I wanted it to look like a rock n roll band. Actually kept the stage volume lower than a half stack because the top cab was more at your ear level. So looked good and better stage volume control. The other guitar player and I would actually use each other’s bottom cab so that we could hear each other a little better. It was awesome. The thought of playing a live rock gig with just a self contained pedal modeler or a box that can fit in a glovebox is just horrifying to me. So glad this wasn’t a thing until after I stopped gigging.
I go to work every morning with my stack :) More seriously, I bought a jcm900 4x12 cabinet 20 years ago when I was at the university because we had access to an isolated music room and we could blast it until late in the night. I still have it of course
Man, digital emulation has come so far in the last decade, but it is still so far from emulating that sound. It’s so huge.
Absolutely, this is one of my very favorite channels. I love when I can catch it live. Mr. Rick is a exceptional host and I admire the diversity of his subjects.
I love it so much. It also puts in context why the Rockman blew everyone's mind, getting that monstrous sound out of a pasta box.
A Marshall JCM 800 is like owning a classic muscle car, simple, bad ass looking and loud at any level set on the volume.
Has been my go to setup for the past 20 years. Love to hear them.
you 2 guys are a deadly combo....great playing, great production, awesome.
Rick being born the year Marshall was makes perfect sense. It's one of those things where the universe makes up for some of the suck it tosses at us.
Absolutely killer sounds Rick! Dave's playing was fire too and I loved the ACDC riffs too. I really dug the stereo mixes - they were so huge!
That fuzz tone at the beginning is super violent sounding! Also the attack of the overdrive tone is incredible
The main thing I got out of this video was that varying your tone in stereo makes guitar parts sound HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE! Thanks Rick.
this is my dream rig as well. With the guitar that he is playing as well. Love the Les Paul and Marshall sound.
Simply pure joy. I love Dave's playing here. I love the demonstration of production choices. We have to remember what we're giving up on stage when we decide convenience and consistency have the highest priority. I wonder if Metallica is watching?
These are excellent videos Rick. Been playing for about 46 years off and on. Just enjoy your sharing of your past experiences, and demonstrations. Thank you.
I love this video, You jamming through the real gear is so awesome! It's not often gear demonstrations touch the classic gear! Thanks Rick and crew!
Hey Rick, they used to do tours of the Marshall factory, you could just go up there and have a look around. I bumped into Jim Marshall while I was there.
Marshall have a tradition of doing factory tours. If you're in the UK it's a good trip if you are a Marshall freak!
My first proper amp was a Marshall and I was fortunate enough to be able to work there as an engineer in Jim's latter days.
This video made my day by bringing me back to being 14. In ‘82 my guitar teacher had a metal band with a few members that later went onto fame. They would practice in my teacher’s (poorly) sound proofed living room. Mike, my teacher, had two 50W JCM800 stacks, that when cranked with his Ibanez Rocket Roll V sounded like the tone of God. Yea Rick, this IS what R’NR is all about. Two cranked 50W Marshall stacks! Thanks for a great flashback. This is instantly one of my fave Beato vids!
Man, I forget how great this tone sounds. Awesome. Best Saturday morning ever... I’m ready for my day... I am motivated Mr. Beato. Thank you both...
More like this please... Great marshall's Tone!!! I realy enjoy watching your Videos
Not a fan of the fuzz... has this weird "puking" effect on loud parts, where the signal approaches white noise.
EDIT: I really dig the tone at 4:19 and 5:20 though.
Glad I'm not the only one. I also like the blended sounds you referenced, but not the left-channel alone... it has that 'blatty' squashy old transistor sound that some people love, but I just can't dig. It sounds pretty scratchy in the high freq too, but that ends up fine when blended. To each their own
Exactly. All that gear and effort and it sounded like sizzle-schmizzle until 4:19.
I'm not a fan of the tone being shown here either - alone at least. I especially dislike it for leads. It probably sounds a lot better blended with a band like the AC/DC-ish examples. There definitely are tones I do like thru Marshals and the onslaught of power is there either way. As someone who uses a Helix, these are the kinds of tones I never dial up. :P
When did the fuzz come back into popularity? I can't STAND fuzz tones! It sounds, to me, like one of my batteries are dying! Annoying!
Totally agree sounds horrible with too much distortion through Celestions which are dirty to begin with. Sounds better without pedals as it should, otherwise too dirty and lacking in definition, which is why Rhoads took out the Celestions and swapped them for Altec's
Well done Rick. Always enjoy the vids, top notch prod quality.
Too cool! Thanks Rick. You keep knocking it out of the park!
Wow! Pretty amazing when the “sound” even comes through on a phone.
"If you want to move people, you have to move air" Damn, that was deep man, I hear "watt" you saying. Great video Rick. I love my amp sims, but nothing beats a real amp.
Super bad ass brother! Absolutely LOVE your channel and all you do for us!!
Raw, Rock, Power....Take me back!!! Excellent video!! I remember those days well
Nothing better than playing ACDC riffs through a Marshall stack!!!
A lobotomy with a rusty nail comes to mind.
To each his own my man!
@@ZedChuva So you have done this ?
Yeah....but he missed the high strings on the Jailbreak riff.
Tim Jones - Saddlebrook Music cannibal corpse through a triple rectifier stack...
I love using the SM57 to record speakers
You are so awesome! Thank you for all the great content.
this was a really great and interesting video. I love the hands on studio practical.
I am anxiously awaiting the return of my JCM800 from the shop! Going through withdrawal without it! Rick, I thought you were about to show us a tour of Marshall and then you ended it. Could be a good teaser episode for the tour though. Any possibility?
For me, the magic of a great sounding amp isn't that it moves a ton of air for the audience, it's that it moves a ton of air for me. It makes me happy and puts me in that happy place that makes me play so much better. It's music that you feel mentally and physically.
There's a huge difference between artists who are truly enjoying themselves while playing live and others who are just going through the motions like an assembly line. I'm not a musician (couldn't be to save my life) but just a music lover and I've been to enough shows through the years to realize this. The joy of joyful musicians carries over to the audience, I wish this fact was on the table more in musician's realms, especially with young people.
Real Rock N Roll attitude right here.
This is awesome! Great video!
Love this channel. And seriously, you always had the feeling that Angus and his brother wrote everything around the Marshall sound, and not the normal way of writing riffs and stuff. AC/DC IS Marshall.
I'm doing the Marshall factory tour in a few weeks. Can't wait!
How was that experience?
Amazing thumbnail! Perfect!
Some great British music documentaries and one that covered Marshall, with Pete constantly driving for more volume.
Marshall amps are awesome... I've seen just about all 70's, 80's and some 90' bands live... And mostly up close to stage... and nearly all of their guitarists would have these amps on stage.
Living 50 miles away from the old Milton Keynes Factory I remember as a 21 year old kid my friend who was buying and selling Marshalls on ebay at the time was invited to the factory to collect one of the Jaguar Limited edition Marshall 2x12 combos. We pulled up outside the factory to be met by Jim himself who spent a good few hours giving us the guided tour of the factory and we chatted to him for ages. He was such a nice guy and had so much time for the people who played his amps. I met him again at a Music live event in Birmingham and he even remembered my name.. That guy must have met 1,000,000s of people in his lifetime and i was a nobody... Stays with me to this day!
Keep fighting the good fight Rick with the copyright stuff, behind you all the way
rossd001 I met Jim many times at Namm and every single time he was exactly as you described, an amazing gentleman!
Loving it!!
Back in '69-'70 I used to go to the Farx Club in the back room of a pub in Southall in West London. The room held maybe 120 people, or maybe a few more really packed in. I saw Savoy Brown there with Kim Simmonds, Dave Peverett and Tone Stevens all playing through Marshall stacks. A localish band that I saw a lot was Stray a four piece with guitarist and bassist both playing through double 100 watt Laney stacks. Pretty much everyone in those days played through a stack or stacks. I admit there was a certain amount of ringing ear until a couple of days had passed but nothing then hurt as much as the big PA shows that came later. Those pub gigs were great - Led Zepellin at the Royal Albert Hall (twice in '69) were great as was Hendrix at the RAH (both shows in '69). By the time of Led Zepellin at Earls Court in '75 the PAs had taken over and that Earls Court gig was torture I have to tell you. I couldn't do it now but god bless the stack. I'm glad I did it way back when and I'm glad I saw so many great players do it
I have the Jubilee reissue with both cabinets. I love that thing. The jubilee really sounds best with Vintage 30s since that is the speaker is was designed for. I have heard good results with greenbacks and creambacks though. I bet mixing a v30 and t75 would work well too.
I don’t miss hauling a stack around.
Ahhhh - could listen all day to this!
Sounds sooo good!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one because it hits so close to home with me. Hopefully AC/DC won't block this video from the riffs (for those about to rock and jailbreak)
I tried to play them slightly different to avoid it...
Make sure you visit the Marshall factory in Milton Keynes!
Great stuff here ! Love the sound ;)
Man, the phase when you go mono ... stellar!
"If you wanna move people, you have to move air" wisest thing I've ever heard
When you step on that fuzz and turn it off, ahhhh, there is the sound in my head. The fuzz is cool for that special song or passage, but not an "always on". I did my first gig this week without my 100 watt head and cab, and while I missed the roar, it made for more manageable stage volumes, easier for the sound man and....easier to sing over, not competing with the amp because floor wedges have a hell of a time keeping up with a roaring amp. In the end, that made for a better FOH mix, and while making myself happy is fun, a good FOH mix is what counts.
That sounds phenomenal!
VERY COOL! Loved the SOUND!!!!🎸👍🎸
Went to a ACDC concert 22 years ago in Aberdeen, and yea my ears are still ringing, (tinnitus).
Deep Purple in 1973...ouch!
the true presence and bonechilling tone from big quality amps/cabinets can never be recreated digitally....ever!
Great! Love the SOUND!!!
amazing video and foremost the ideas and concepts you bring with it
I saw a popular youtuber talking about having just turned his amp up past 3 for the first time EVER and how great it sounded. I commented on the strange trend of people playing at super low volume and never cranking their amps. He said play some gigs and get back to me. All I could do is laugh. I've been gigging for almost 30yrs and have always cranked my amps whether at practice, home or a gig when its appropriate. How do you even take a guitarist seriously when they've never played thru a cranked amp. That is THE experience! Thanks for the cranked Marshall's Rick!
You’re welcome!! You gotta krank um’ haha!!!
Does a good attenuator get you close?
I was born in '62...lately my hearing is starting to go. I blame it on prolonged exposure to Marshall stack sound pressure. I have no regrets.
Allan Crow Yeah, when I 1st started playing in a band, I had these great Paiste Rude 18” & 16” crashes. But, when I’d hit em, I could’t hear a damn thing for a second or two (I hadn’t learned to tape my cymbals, or wear earplugs yet). So, my guitarist & bassist just pointed their Marshall’s to either side of my head & turned em to 11. I’d put a fair amount of my hearing loss on that stupid behavior. There were also the many rock shows I saw, which often had Marshall amps pointing at me too. 🙂
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Sure was fun though. :)
Allan Crow Absolutely!
Such an incredible sound
More power!! Incredible
Looks like you were in Clapham/ Battersea in SW London bro.....? My neck of the woods..
YEAH!! And that's why I just can't seem to part with my two full stacks, even though they have been collecting dust for a while now
This is what the guitarists i used to jam with sounded like! Marshall straight up! Love the tone!
Rick, I love your channel and especially the Morgan vs. your holy grail Vox (both stellar amps and near perfect). Man the beginning of this sounded super gritty. Around the 4 minute acdc riff it sounded more like the full Marshall sitting in my bedroom. Love your spirit and imho, although the amp sims sound great and are more practical for the average gig, there is just no comparison. The second half of the Marshall tones sounded like what we've heard and loved for the past 30 years. Nice job!
An American Les Paul and a British Marshall stack - the ultimate special relationship!
Friends with benefits
Imaging gigging the NYC club scene with this setup - try getting these on the subway, lol :D
Done that in the 80’s in London on the tube! All good fun especially when you get on the wrong tube! 😂
Nice to see some old skool raw amp tones, great video Rick!!
Great playing and the sound is amazing!
The air was gettin thick, the smoke was gettin thicker
The judge read the verdict, said, "Cut off his head!"
Well, they placed me on the altar, raised up the axe
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
I noticed all the smoke machines, the cameras and the lights
Some guy with a microphone running around dancing in tights
And I noticed the crew and the band playing down below
And I realized I was in a rock video
An Alice Cooper rock video?
Hey Rick. Nice video. Still using Apple? ;)
Cant wait to see the next video
Oh My God!!! That intro has me in stitches cracking up!!!
Damn, that is a big lawn for a tiny walk behind lawnmower.
LOL...thinking the same thing.
Yeah but he dont have to hit the Gym when he's done....lol
@@bobboitt3126 Get paid to mow a lawn instead of paying for a gym membership. We've been doing it wrong this whole time!
When he finally gets to the other side, the grass at the beginning will already be as long again as when he started.
Haha, that caught my attention as well.
I still believe the greatest guitar tone EVER, was Leslie West playing a Les Paul Junior through a SUNN Coliseum. Versatile, no. Epic? Hell yes!
I second that. I don't know if that's the rig he uses on Mississippi Queen or Nantucket Sleigh-ride, but it has to be one of the meanest sounds ever recorded.
Great sound!
Omg that is my dream rig!!! Dreams to aspire!
I see the thumbnail and think: "Today we gonna checkout"
More geeky tech stuff please!!!
That panned sound... glorious!!!!!!
dave is an amazing player. wow. love that fuzzy tone.

Mr Krunch 😂🤬
“If you want to move people, you have to move air.”
YES
PA also moves air.
@@Arkoudeides. was about to say the same.
Ok I’ll just fart and people will run away so in a way they move
...and it looks so good as well! ❤️
So glad that you did this one Rick, thank you! We still play and record with 8 Marshall cabs. Half the fun is in mic placement and cranking the valve heads aiming for rich cab resonance and power tube distortion. We intentionally avoid DAWs though and no quantisers or autotune. Our end result isn't very polished (maybe one day!) but its honest and when we get a good take out of acoustic drums or cranked amps we really feel we have achieved something. It started because I have worked in IT all my life and I didn't want to stare at a monitor during my hobby. So, as much as possible we avoid using computer screens in our music and this although slower approach his helping us as musicians. Our timing as a band is improving as is our ear for picking frequencies to boost or cut. Its a load of fun. Thank you for your fantastic content and insights :)
