All user reviews for the Marshall 1960A JCM900

I certainly do not understand the criticism that has made this brand!
It is true that the original hp are good but nothing more, but once replaced by v30 ........ It sounds the ennnnnooooooorme! I'm talking about me because the box that this is the marshall factory box and not the hps (and that price you would still not have the v30 or the century vintage ??!!). So I play death metal, neo and the heavy mainly but also some blues and rock has a big ac / dc, in all these styles it is fine. This is a great product even need to know what he puts on, and within. I advise everyone to buy one of ocaz gilou and call him to order 4hp v30 (16-ohm if you want to keep the base circuit).
I put a 7 because of hps but again I prefer to judge the box and nothing else in this case I metterais 9 because I still prefer him engl (mesa like it, too expensive for what it is! )

I'm pretty tonn to read as much criticism on this ngatives baffle. I use it for 5 years and he always satisfied in all situations. J'apprcie much versatility and made trs balance. I've used in several training style trs DIFFERENT (rock, metal, acid jazz, ...) and he always russi ringing my instruments and my possessions as I wanted. I use a Laney head and shuffled VH100R trs works well.

His report is in the trs crystalline cleans and clean and I confess prtentieusement trs: I love my clean sound.

In rendering distortion is heavy, hot and equilibrated throughout the rev range. J'obtient a big sound without too much searching.

I do not understand why some of you are crap ... if your fans of low-tuning, it's quite normal that the speaker does not rpondent your expectations. Even when it is typ plutt vintage, classic rock, blues, ... but not deathmetal or whatever. In this style, other brands are better products.

Dtail trivial but is important: it is enjoyable dplacer trs. Its wheels are working properly and it will l o it is to go when pushed (for lugging a 4X12 "Behringer, we realize that the price diffrence is played also on wheels) and its weight is well equilibrated what is important when the soulve.

I intend to buy this cabinet soon and a little like brui2fon, I am a little "angry at the people who break the material to death because it is not for their style. Marshall is still a benchmark for rock bands hard rock etc. ..

Just for the record, informing me in a studio rehearsing for the group in which I am the type said: "Of course there is no great amps for the repeats, there are small Peavy (already NDLEA very good) example is not the Marshall all-tube "I think he knows what he's talking. Personally, I tried this speaker in a store with DSL 100 head, and well, pushing the distortion, I placed a riff of a black metal band (I play the rock yet) and frankly there was a big his .. C after gaffe associations to do, but it's still good material, and if the material sounds bad is that it is not your style, it is not the material that is at fault. .
I put like 10 note because even if I do not yet have the cabinet I was
i tried extensively in the store and I loved the sound ..

I know the 1960 having only jou over quite often in the studio. So I think have a fairly objective view, because it tends to praise his gear.

Whatever anyone says, I would simply say that one is a REFERENCE in the minds of Contents 4 * 12 cabinet for heavy rock / hard rock. The sound and the ergonomics of the device are unanimously.

Marshall sound is typical, with screaming highs and low plutt not great decision. We love it or hate it: it must realize even at home, by testing the amps each other ct, is the only way.

There are a lot of competitors dsormais this cabinet, some of which are both less and more convincing onreux play mtal modern (the sharper, more heat, etc.).. It is mainly a history of bowls in fact ... and what is sent in!

I find the price of nine plutt from undue competition. There is also a lil ct "archi known / not original" trs not fun, but it is secondary to the sound.

Conclusion: it's good stuff typical hard rock, but plutt the price of the occasion ...

I have this speaker for almost ten years, and I had no disappointment with it. If I understood that it might not sound like Marshall (relatively typed), I can not imagine that we can decry the cabinet as I have read so little in terms stylish.

I like: the heat of the sound, the ergonomics of the machine (maybe stupid, but there are wheels and handles that make it easy to carry despite the weight, and that, for me, it plays )
I like least: the sound a little mushy in the bass

This cabinet has played with: a power amplifier coupled to a digitech multi-purpose in the same brand, a Marshall head, a head H & K Warp7 (and the other which I zapped the name), a V-AMP2. Sound, and even the big sound, has never failed.

For me, one of the most versatile on the market.

It's been 10 years now this thing with me on scne and studio .... He took the blows, suffered flooding, took guitar in a trance on the face ... And never a ppin. I am surprised by so many mpris vis vis the hardware!
Obviously, it does not sound like an Engl, Soldano, VHT and other Msa, but also what is asked!. I have the full c. .. to hear overproduction amricaines ultra lches gaves MSA, where everyone sounds the same, it's frustrating! What a pleasure to hear SOAD with the good old Marshall or The Mars Volta on the Orange The default of this cabinet makes its quality is not prcis? great!
The lack of bass on that kind of HP is not a (very) big problem with a harmonizer on Pali default without this little galrer ... The price is attractive, quality level price is unbeatable.

Fvrier 2007 UPDATE!

I just finished a prod (Hopkins group, coutable on myspace), on which I used with the 1960A JCM900 hi gain dual reverb 100w and 30w ORANGE rocker above, with the Orange, ca sent sv re, I redcouvert my cabinet, and I love him even more =)

I possde the cabinet since my deuxime anne guitar, or there is 18 this year !!!!!
No worries ... In the era in 4 * 12, or a y'avait not much else that took the road ... I'd pay 3500 francs era if I remember correctly ... This is a good speaker, which projects the sound well, that does not have a serious or a mesa engl, but in return is also rich in medium-trs acute and lends itself well rock and hardrock. For the metal, not bad, but a V30 is probably sharper. It is a good speaker trs, versatile enough, but not the fate of guitarists playing on the land of bass players, or for his bad reputable for groups of neo trs heavy metal or ... Reputable unwarranted I think ... You just buy it knowingly or take UATRE thing ... At least today we have the choice ... With XP, I would do I would take this choice or the vintage, but I remain a strong-man marshall ... I find it unjustified to compltement 1500 in a cabinet, when you can have two for the same price that will render much larger, clean and prcis. I will also trs ending for him to buy a small ERRF V30 and put the HP in X for the sound that goes well ...

I buy what cabinet recently (used) in the IDE to customize.
Marshall sound ... yeah not bad. Playing a style between Rock and Metal, I needed something sturdy and well Dfine on all frequencies.
I tried the Mesa before and I did not aim. I lost all the grain of my head Brunetti Pirata 141.
Never mind, hop hop hop, 2 celestion V30 in X and more in this cab and voila a gem!

Although in my Dfine mdium, with the addition of a low and a large DEFINITIONS gnrale great!

All with a big grain for my distos.

In short, the 1960 is tough and with a little imagination, you end up with a super cab at a reasonable price.

For if you are really against the big mtal that spot, it's not even bother to think about Marshall.

I have owned this cabinet a few years with a head jcm 2000 dsl 100w
This cabinet has a good price and quality are beginning to enter the field of serious stuff but it suffers from major defects and especially in the sound or style is mainly used.

1 MEDIUMS AND ACUTE ACUTE
very difficult to manage, the baffle pete ears, with its metal is too aggressive and diffuse (I never used the presence of this knob)

2 THE LOW Bayeux
There are about jcm 2000, a button (deep) which acts on the lower
In this cabinet is unusable, the bass is too inprecises but with a more eq medium, a low foun correct.

3 IN HOME STUDIO
We had two solutions to record guitars
Jcm the head with this cabinet or a combo of classic 50 peavey blue marvel equipped
I think some will cry foul but the Blue Marvel gives a more pleasant and more rounded than the 1960 g12t75
The speaker did not provide a sound recording hyper aggressive but did not give the body than I expected from him.

TO CONCLUDE
For the same price, you can have a cabinet smaller, lighter, and better quality (see mesa, nos, VHT, orange etc. ..)
The speaker suffers from hp and an average quality CABINET average which does not make the best of hp.
On OCCAZ, it is found cheap (300), but nine, it seems better to fall back on an 2x12 of quality.

I use this speaker in BPS with a head VHT Pitbull CLX 100 watts guitar and a Gibson Les Paul Custom, or more often a Fender Stratocaster Highway 1 with a humbucker at the bridge Bare Knuckle.

So it is not baffle me, I graciously lends the BPS to avoid each to lug all my mess, everything has to say that I do not look at the features, but pleased t on her!

Well, it's DIFFERENT from my VHT 4x12 (yes I know is not the same price range but I compare with what I know ...) was more acute (a me a pte ears will not, just that it is more acute), just over mdiums, for I lose against carrment especially low in that specially the great head of my VHT to send big bass! But it makes up about setting Depht and Bass and it's good ...

Volume level sounds louder than my VHT speaker is clear. But hey who cares as sound a lot because 90% of the time you will be taken up by the microphone sound system ... The fact that it sounds mdium / treble will be against me by a big advantage! You will spend more in the sound in concert!

Frankly I think the speaker is good (not great but good), but it should not be used for certain types of music: The mtal hard gonzo fucking trash grindcore HxC thing ... the heavy short and jazz as well (it seems to me even when it lacks a lot of heat). For other styles between these two extreme, you can go.

At the risk of making me hate:

"Not worth a Harley Benton cab"


Seriously, it's a cab with which one can attack styles from clean to a good saturation. He does not like the extra low, which stress, and will only give a basic foundation. If your goal is to detune the modern metal, or simply large, this cab is really not for you.

He has a tendency to swell the lower midrange, which will appeal to people who own heads british just fine in its frequency. But overall, you have to send a high volume to get the best performance. It is a bit anemic played at low volume.

For my part, the criticism against G12T75 are unfounded. They do their job, and it pretty well. The fashion was until recently the V30, it has not followed this trend is likely to be the main element of this critique. But for the record rock, g12t75 seem very appropriate, taking up much rind and giving a sympathetic form of articulation. But again, if you send too low, it goes fishtail quickly.

Otherwise, the Tolex is average in appearance, it shocks cash badly, but, Parallel, as we not pay too much, we tend to give a damn.

(3) compared with the tenors, it does not. But at least it was a 4x12. I just wish that the price of Chinese cab be as high when compared with the competition.

So I use it for 3 months, I have not identified any major faults like everyone else says, I just have a little breath that appears when I was one-half the volume.
This is my first but I find it still good, certainly a lack of bass but it may also be due to the amp I use (also a marshall) ac dc was trying to confirm another head that.
trs expensive nine 711
if yes I prferer in the same vintage 30 or greenback but hard to find.

2009 edition, I lowered the score of 8 6, I'll change it soon for a cab in v30, but I do not mean to criticize, it is certainly expensive but for a first cab OCCAZ c is pretty good, with the rest of the stuff of good quality but offers good feedback, but is intended to rock and never for large saturations mtalleuse. So much for my cab that meets all the same.

I've had one years ago, I use this cab to ref for 20 years and 4 in my possession, and then resold, JCM 4100 head with two channels in the year 80/90, for 2 year I have a power amp Marshall 9200 with a multi effects Boss GT PRO, nothing to say, the sound suited me, the Boss GT PRO will be significantly to the outcome level, then this weekend, I embarked on a change in the cabinet, therefore, windshield seal on all the joints of wood, foam on the bottom panels, acoustic foam in the cab al interior up and down, nothing on the sides, and of course cable 2.5mm2 deoxygenated directly soldered to the terminals and HP switch mono / stereo, I go up the back, then I try, the more bass (no severe drooling, I mean) less than medium, a softer sound, but something is missing, I have to redo the scene soon, and I really wanted a sound that stands out, not by adding effects or EQ, but a special grain, in short, I'm not really happy (not move, I came by the way) while I travel the Audiofanzine advice on good 4X12 cab, ENGL, Mesa Boogie, NOS, VHT, etc., etc., the price is not too much bp, this project stage is very important, then, according to the reviews, I m 'guides to the NOS, visit the site and then return to notice a player was also its control cables OUR NOSacheté cab and found a significant difference, to say, I connect my Boss GT PRO Marshall in 9200 by jack 20cm approx thermo molded, then the 9200 has a speaker jack with 2 other thermo-molded, while stereo and in my studio, I work with cable and Neutrik gold plated, so I exchanged my cable thermo molded by neutrik ................ and his monstrous, edged deep bass, sharp penetrating glance a radical change in my Boss GT PRO, I had a patch correct exchanged with an Internet Spanish, the sound of this patch, Bavay, vibrant, really disgusting with thermo-molded cable, but now I no longer seek other cab, my 1960 A in this way for me to wonder , it reminded me a player who gave an opinion Audiofanzine completely negative on a 4X12 cab NOS, then its bp, was there no cables just so good cable !!!!!! , That is all, after this change, I rediscovered my Marshall cab, the impression of having another, much better than yesterday
I use it with an Ibanez JS 100 JS 1000 upgrade pro edge tremolo, and a guitar luthier strato EVH style humbuker a double bridge position Seymour Duncan SH5 style Satriani, Nitghwish for the symphonic rock
