Is it just me, or does any one else strongly dislike the aesthetics of these? The "coffin" logo is especially dreadful.

That's what the very first Marshalls looked like, it's not just a random styling exercise.

Someone should go back and tell them

I get that they're a call back to the first Marshalls, but they still look rubbish.

Tbh I would happily buy the SV20H except I know it's still going to be stupidly loud in the real world and I can't be arsed with buying amps I know I'll need attenuators for before I even start.

I know. And they looked awful.

I don't disagree, and they obviously changed to the classic Marshall look for a reason, but I guess it's like snakehead Teles - it lets your peers know you're "in the know".

I think I'd go for a small Friedman combo over one of these.

Except that snakehead Teles look like someone put a DIY neck on it.

With the original JTM45s, the DIY look doesn't really show until you open it up and look at the chassis...

My decades-long hunt for a great sounding, flexible Marshall-style amp which covers NMV, MV and hot-rodded settings ended with a Brunetti Pleximan. It's also portable, sounds excellent on the 5W setting, takes pedals well and is a joy to play... as is my Laney LA30BL. I can't recommend them highly enough. I briefly owned an SV20 and SC20 and was disappointed by both, but each to their own...

GavRichList · August 2023

My new setup, as of two days prior to the launch of this one. Wouldn’t swap it, but I sure do love a JTM45.

Someone pointed out to me that this sounds very much like a HRD and now that's all I can hear when I watch the demos.

No-one told me that but I definitely thought, "That sounds pretty Fendery" when I first heard it.

There's quite an interesting video on Youtube where Johan Segeborn puts KT66s into the SV20H... it made it sound quite a bit more Fendery I thought (though not as Fendery as the JTM).

yeah I don't like that either...that said, if they did my preference it'd look exactly like the SV20.

I can't quite decide if I like it or not (though I fear I'm liking it more the more I see it!), but the only better idea I can come up with is the SV20 look like you said. And as @ICBM said, they probably don't want it to look exactly the same for marketing etc. reasons.

Personally, i like the look. But all the other Studios have had the Design Store treatment, so there will probably be alternative finishes if it doesn't appeal.

Good point. Once they're released this current version will look much better by comparison!

Johan Segeborn is great, I've become addicted to his channel. Learned quite a bit about the early Marshall lineage and associated sounds, plus you could listen to him talk all day long.

I do fear for his hearing (and neighbours) though

Yeah. I like his comparison vids, he seems to do the best (or at least most comprehensive) comparison videos. There are plenty of vids of someone comparing, say, two different speakers, but not so many of someone comparing about 15 different ones! (Especially 15 different takes on the same style of speaker!)

Toms a fan

Th4fonz · August 2023

Everyone’s a fan I bet that gets a free one. And it seems like everyone has got a free one that makes a YouTube video.

I haven’t heard one yet but was in sixty sounds when they came out and asked to
hear one and I got told I can’t hear it because its
a review unit Marshall sent them and they haven’t done a video yet…..

I was in there as well and they were a bit weird about it - kept referring to it as a “prototype”

I always wondered if that was a real shop or just a hangout for Insta 60s cosplayers…they have loads of stuff on their Insta and very little of it seems to be listed on their store website.

Ddigger · August 2023

I think 66 Sounds is a real shop, for real people with real money.

They took one look at me the boy standing at the door, thought "pair of Squier players" and pretended they hadn't seen us.

Then the day after they post their ig clip playing it and to come in the shop and check them out…. Makes no sense to me. Don’t have stuff on the shop floor if it isn’t useable.

Howdy, Stranger!
