From the Chairman

I would like to personally thank you for selecting one of my vintage re-issue amplifiers.

The Marshall reputation has been built upon many things, but our longevity comes mainly as a result of the continual relevance of the concepts behind the design and build of our amplifiers. Added to this are solid workmanship, reliability, stylish looks, and above all – great tone. The continual fascination and love that many guitarists show for our vintage amplification is a testament to just how relevant and important these models still are today.

The amp you have just acquired was originally launched in the 1960s. A time when the face and sound of popular music was rapidly changing and players were constantly pushing back the musical boundaries. Each of these amps was there at the beginning of this music revolution and all played their part. From Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, to Jeff Beck and Paul Kossoff, the list of great ‘tone’ players who pioneered the use of the natural distortion from these amps, reads like a who’s who of guitar players.

Our re-issues of these models are as faithful as possible to the originals in terms of looks and tone. Hand-crafted in the UK these superb units feature finger-jointed cabinets of birch plywood, hand-welded chassis’s, hand-wired potentiometers and valve bases and the highest quality PCBs and componentry.

I would like to wish you every success with your new amplifier and welcome you to the family of great players who use the classic Marshall tone.
