Marshall 1974x user manual

Inherently less aggressive in the treble region than the later EL34 loaded amps, but fatter in the low mid and mid region, the sound is instantly recognisable as classic early Marshall power driven tone! The Low range equates to the performance you would come to expect from a stock vintage Marshall amplifier in terms of tone and available gain.

The High range adds an extra pre-amp valve into the signal path, facilitating those classic hard rock tones of the Seventies. A Mid Boost switch on the front panel fattens the tone even more, while a traditional Marshall tone control circuit enables fine tuning of your sound. A Master Volume has been included in order to practically manage the output levels at all venues.

The Reverb can be toggled on and off via the footswitch. A series FX Loop is provided for those players who wish to use outboard effects to further enhance their sound. Additionally, the C combo comes fitted with two Celestion G12C 25 Watt Greenback speakers with the facility to use an extension cabinet if required.

These were specifically developed for the Limited Edition Jimi Hendrix SuperJH stack and are voiced to give that rich and balanced harmonic timbre that complements vintage tone and therefore the Vintage Modern Series perfectly.

The timeless tone of vintage handwired, all-valve Marshall amplifiers have made them highly desirable to collectors and sonic connoisseurs alike. An authentic, handwired re-issue of the original 20 Watt head , this compact, twin-channel, all-valve beauty houses.

The X features a solid-state, silicon diode rectifier and is a very aggressive and surprisingly modern sounding amplifier, while still possessing that unmistakable and highly desirable, vintage all-valve tone. Just like the original, the X boasts a point-to-point, handwired, tagboard circuit, a mild-steel chassis and Dagnall transformers.

The X is an authentic re-issue of the fabled 18 Watt combo of the late sixties Just like the original, it boasts a point-to-point, handwired, tagboard circuit housed in an aluminium chassis, plus a valve-driven tremolo circuit. At the very heart of its simple, but effective, two channel design can be found six valves: three ECC83s in the preamp, an EZ81 rectifier and a pair of cathode-biased EL84s in the power stage.

I could go on and on. What more could you ask for in a rock band. All are faithful reproductions of the classic originals, which helped shape the sound of the modern electric guitar as we know it.

The common characteristic of all these amps is their simplicity of operation and superb natural valve tone. The Loop has been designed to not colour the guitar sound in any way, and a true Bypass switch gives you the option of completely removing this circuitry if desired.

A loop Level switch on all these models ensures compatibility with both rack processors and stomp boxes. To ensure tonal authenticity we searched for an amp from this period that epitomised this model. As previously mentioned, the only modern concession made was to add a tonally transparent Series Effects Loop with a true bypass switching option for the purist. Though the 50 Watt X shares the same front and rear panel features as its big brother, the SLP, it does have its own distinct personality.

Sweet, warm, singing sounds are the trademark of this great tone machine. When Jim Marshall started manufacturing amps back in , the first one out of the workshop was the JTM This amp instantly became a hit and launched a whole new generation of amazing guitar players.

Since then, connoisseurs of tone have searched high and low for original examples of this beautiful amp. Now the search is over; the re-issued JTM45 is full of glassy clean tone and fluid warm sustain. The GZ34 rectifier valve interacts with the rest of the valves causing subtle harmonics to shift and smoulder beneath every note you play. The very essence of simplicity, the JCM is a one channel, all-valve amp with no reverb or built-in effects.

Known for its great tone and reliability, the JCM range has won many fans with its incredible versatility. Channel A has been voiced for a sparkling clean on lower gain settings, building up to a raunchy crunch when driven hard. Channel B takes off from where Channel A finishes and is perfect for any lead tone — from silky smooth to searing saturation. As well as having separate Gain controls, each channel has its own Master section containing controls for Master Volume and Master Reverb.

A Series Effects Loop with Level switch allows you to use either floor pedals or rack effects. Whatever style of rock you play the will give you tonal flexibility without compromise. After the huge success of the JTM45 amplifier, a 2x12" combo version was released to satisfy popular demand and the now legendary combo was born.

Once again the use of a GZ34 valve rectifier is responsible for helping to achieve the famed output stage compression and sustain exhibited uniquely by both the JTM45 and The Master Volume control on your valve amp makes it sound good at low volume, but ALL, all-valve amps sound better cranked. This is a scientific fact of life.
