Hey guys!

I'm starting to post some useful tone tests and shootouts on my Youtube channel to try to help people on gear choice.. and for fun too

This is my third clip I did (my first one was a comparison between Super Lead, JCM 800 and JCM 900 - second one was a pickup comparison):

Some people requested to see the difference when jumping the channels on a plexi instead of using the regular bright input!

Marshall Super Lead 1959SLP Comparison - Shootout (Bright Channel VS Jumped / Bridged Channels)

Shootout of the tone differences when jumping / bridging channels on Marshall Super Lead 1959SLP 100W Head:
- Bright Channel (Bright Volume Knob at 7 out of 10)
- Jumped / Bridged Channels (Both Volume Knobs at 7 out of 10)

* EQ was the same all along the comparison, that way it is easier to see the difference in tone.

Gibson Les Paul with 498T/490R pickups plugged straight into a Marshall Super Lead 1959SLP (running at about 7 on the volume, no attenuator - so really loud!). That head was pushing two Marshall 1960X 4x12s (Celestion Greenback G12M-25). One of the G12M speakers was mic'ed with a Shure SM57 straight where the dustcap and cone meet, about 1" from the grill cloth. No post-processing was applied to those tracks (no EQ, no reverb, etc.).

Hope you like it and please tell me what you think!

I like the jumped channels better. A little fatter and fuller sounding to me ears

Thanks for posting . . . and deff the 'jumped' channels.

Just like the massive Bugera 1960 (150W amp) it sounds 'better' (to me) with both channels in the mix.

Just a side note... the 150w Bugera is actually a 100w RMS amp, the 150 rating is a peak rating so in reality its the same power as a 1959 Marshall. Peavey did the same shenanigans with the windsor a few years ago giving a peak rating instead of RMS

Ahhh, gotcha. . . . that makes more sense.

I thought the bright channel not jumped
Sounded more organic and less compressed
The jumped channels , to me, sounded constapated
