    Marshall YJM100: An Yngwie signature Marshall?? Seriously!!

    Coming to NAMM

    NAMM, National Association of Music Merchants, The NAMM Show, Summer NAMM, NAMM Convention, Pro Audio, Entertainment Technology



    Malmsteen has been a Marshall devotee from the get-go so this collaboration comes as no surprise to his countless fans. “I can't say enough about my love for the sound, feel and look of the wall of Marshall's. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve insisted on having them behind me at all times,” the guitarist reveals. “I must have had every amp company in the world ask me to endorse them, over the years. To finally have my own signature Marshall is an honor and this amp is truly a master piece!”
    Based on the power and tone of the “Holy Grail” 1959 Plexi head, the YJM100 offers the ultimate Neo-Classical amp with the following cutting edge features:

    1. Footswitchable* Boost with controls for Volume and Gain on the rear panel.
    2. Footswitchable* Noise Gate with rear panel Threshold control.
    3. Footswitchable* studio quality Digital Reverb with rear panel Level control.
    4. Footswitchable* Series FX Loop
    5. Half power switch which takes the output power from 100W to 50W when engaged.
    6. Built-in, infinitely variable Attenuator control which can take the output stage from 100% to 0.01% and anywhere in-between, while retaining the all-important tone and feel of the all-valve power section. This means the output power can be reduced to a staggering low of 0.05 Watts when in 50W power mode.
    7. Valve Failure Circuitry: meaning that if one of the output valves develops a fault, a visual indicator on the rear of the amplifier shows which one is working incorrectly. This “roadie friendly feature” will save valuable time getting the amplifier back up and running again, should a valve failure occur.
    8. Self-biasing circuitry to ensure proper power valve operation each time valves are changed.

            The AFD100 was about $1999 street, so I bet this will be about the same.

                It must really suck if Yngwie's number one fan says it sucks.

                  Yngwie is a great guitar player and a lousy song writer and producer. He needs a good producer to work with and some outside song writers. I bet with the right people he could do some amazing stuff.

                      It sounds like an easy maintenance basic Marshall with some nice features. I wonder how the autobiasing works? Typically in amps without a variable bias they just have a fixed resistor value. The old Marshall sound comes from the power section and how the amp is biased has a lot to do with the sound. I got away with this for years. I used to put a matched set of tubes in and then plug a speaker and guitar into the amp and play it. I would turn the bias knob down until is sounded cold and crappy and then slowly turn it up until it started to sound good. Then I would check the tubes to make sure none of the plates were glowing red. I never had any problems. Now I run a sine wave generator on the input, and hook a scope to the speaker and look at the wave and adjust it to where there is no crossover distortion and then play and tweak until is sounds good. Marshalls sound best with a little tad of crossover distortion.

                        It does...

                        First of all, Yngwie sings on some of the songs...that sucks...

                        The other vocalist is Ripper Owens, although Ripper says he has no knowledge of a new Yngwie album...

                        So what this is, is something Yngwie made on his own with some Ripper demos thrown in...

                        There is a good instrumental or two, but the overall effort is MUCH worse that any of Yngwie's last nine releases...

                              I followed the autobiasing for a bit on the Slash model, the amp designer Santiago says it can use any tubes. EL34, 6L6, KT77, etc etc. It brings up the current to where it needs to be and plug and play.
