I ordered my YJM100 the other day and it came in stock already according to the guy in the music store. It was in a Randy Rhoads 1959 box, which the guy just assumed that it was the only available box as it said YJM100 on the invoice. We opened it up and It was a 1959RR. This is great because it's an awesome amp, but kinda sucks because it is too loud for me. So now I have to wait like 2 weeks until the YJM and my cab arrives. At lease the store gave me 2 sets of guitar strings 2 speaker cables and are going to give me some marshall t shirts aswell as getting the local marshall distributor to give me €180 off the original price of the amp.

Shout out to the great staff at Pro Musica in Cork Ireland. They will match the price of any big retailer such as thomann.de and fix your product free of charge for up to 3 years.

You deserve a pat on the back for having the patience to wait it out ... the RR is one hell of a cool amp to have, so I could very easily see someone saying "**** it, I'll take this one!".

V-man

I went with the **** it, I'll take the 1959RR.

Loud? Yes.

Regrets? **** No

I love the features of the YJM, but that technology is going to be reapplied in some form or another down the road.

Wiseblood

Do you get to keep the RR while you wait for the YJM?

Ha!! I was TOTALLY going to say that V-man will show up any minute now and tell you you should have kept it!

Redstone

Unfortunately no. I wish. It would probably send the roof of my house flying to the moon lol. Great amp though. Wish it had the EPA that the YJM has.

Got to disagree with this,RR is my favourite guitarist of all time BUT his amp is one of the loudest & as cool as it is,if you can't use it you can't use it!
And don't think for one minute I didn't consider this 1/2 stack before the YJM as its a fair bit cheaper & still available new in the UK but apparently 'attenuating it is a sin & playing it loud is 'ridiculous in anything less than a small arena,forget clubs!' according to TGM who had trouble reviewing it!
Even Australian says when he turns the ****er on its like been 'punched in the chest' so imagine what it's like in an English semi with next door neighbours!
Also despite the 'rumours' the ONLY amp due for EPA was the YJM,the only reason the AFD got it was somebody thought it was such a good idea they 'nicked it' half way through.
Apparently it's an Yngwie demand & not a Marshall 'general standard production' add on!
Still I'd have LOVED a RR for the day,even if I couldn't 'set it free!'

Marshall is going to have to include the technology on new amps ... there won't be any choice in the matter if they want to stay competitive. For example, Orange already has a similar biasing feature (meaning an auto bias feature) incorporated into some of their amps, as well as stand alone units (called the Orange DIVO OV2 & OV4) that can be used with other amps (like any Marshall, for example). I'd guess that Marshall will not only incorporate it into new amps, but will also likely come out with a stand alone unit that can be used with other amps like Orange is doing.

Holme

Oh & chin up it'll be worth it when it gets there & I've heard RR clips on a YJM with an EQ pedal & it's spot on,remember Randy played a modded 'plexi' & in this day & age there's no reason why you can't get the 'effect' in a pedal!

Holme

I thought the same,but it was 'rumoured' that the Satch JVM would 'carry it on' & it didn't & there's where I heard it was an Yngwie 'exclusive' that got 'nicked'
Don't shoot the messenger,I'd love a house friendly RR in white tolex!
He's been my idol since I was 8!


EDIT:I'm not meaning to sound 'cocky' I just did some research on the YJM before buying & apparently as Yngwie plays 'stock' 50 & 100 watters he felt he'd be a 'hypocrite' to make a modded amp for the sake of it,hence why it's a standard 1959 from the off.The only reason it's got EPA is its something he uses along with a Dod (YJM boost) & digital reverb.
Don't expect to see a 50 watt mode either unless the artist requests it!

DOUBLE EDIT:If I'm being totally honest me & the missus had a few beers & she said get one ordered for x-mas! My research was up to the delivery in hope it wouldn't blow me in the garden!
As it goes with no EPA it can!

crossroadsnyc

Quite honestly, the only thing that has stopped me from getting one (the YJM) is that I was thinking it'd be on new models. I might have to rethink my strategy here. I haven't had GAS for a new amp since the VM, so now I'm not feeling as good as I did 5 minutes ago ... I have that nervous sick feeling in my stomach.

Holme

Time will tell,I'm no Marshall expert all I read is that the YJM was in production for a LONG time (before & after the AFD) & because Yngwie attenuated some of his gigs he wanted it built into his amp.
Someone (& I honestly don't know if it was slash or a Marshall guy) liked it that much they nicked his feature for the AFD.
Everyone came to the conclusion (myself included) that this would become a feature on all Marshall 'big hitters' but after reading what I read & seeing whats become of it after I'm beginning to believe its just part of Yngwie's list of requests & a cheeky (but sensible) AFD guy!

V-man

Uh, 15' x 20' office (tops)... hardly an arena, and I have run both at the same time at 8 or above. Whatever in the world did guitar players do from 1967-1975?

Holme

No offense meant I'd love one & RR is my favourite guitarist of all time but after reading the 'Total Guitar Magazine UK' review (look it up if you can,apparently the reviewer was struggling to cope with Randys settings,even with the cab facing the wall)I just instantly came to the conclusion I couldn't use it & the OP's comments just drove his comments in further!
Please remember that UK to USA properties differ vastly,we're much closer to neighbours & whilst some of you have to watch volumes for your own hearing safety,we have neighbours on the other side of a brick wall!
No disrespect meant I'd LOVE a RR white tolex 1/2 stack,I'd just have to attenuate the shit out of it!

V MAN!

Awesome setup, a killer KK with the MF cabinet and a killer RR, can't imagine how good those 2 must sound together, I have the KK, but that RR is sick! Those 2 must shake the walls.

V-man

Thanks, HT!

they're actually both MF350s. The RR just needs casters.

I hear what you're saying, Holmes... If YOU can't use it, you can't use it.

Australian

The YJM is an all inclusive versatile Plexi and a big daddy among Marshalls, so I can see how in this instance you could bear to pass up the 1959RR, but it must be tempting to keep both.
