As we see outthe productof one year and welcome in thenext, we are proudto introduce our ProductCataloguefor 2008. Thislast year has beenamazing,the launchof the JVM4 Serieshas been widely accepted as the benchmark for others to followand it has won a number of awards including ‘Best Amplifier 2007’by the MusicIndustries Association,a very prestigiousaccolade. We wouldlike to take this opportunity to thankall the musicians and music retailersthat voted in favour of the JVM. A greataddition to theSignature Series in 2007 saw theintroduction of the 2203KK, a beast of an amplifier thatis proving extremelypopularnot only withKerry King, who hasbeen usingit for sometime,but alsowith many other guitarists looking forthat aggressive tonethat onlythe KK can deliver. Withthese successes in mind, it againdemonstrates thededication, the talent and the commitment of our Researchand Development teamwho continue to design award-winningamplifiers that guitarists of all abilities can enjoy playing. So it is witha great dealof pride thatwe are able to sharewith you our new productsfor this year’s catalogue. The JVM2Series has beenadded to the existing,award-winning JVM4 range, the design engineer having includeda selection of channelsand produced a twochannelversion that epitomisesthe tones andversatility of the JVM4, tonesranging from a sweetclean to a punching highgain and all points in between. Of course, we keptthe same features as theJVM4, such as the memory footswitch and theMIDI control, to produce an amplifierworthy of joining this award-winningrange. We alsoset our Signature Series designer thetask of researching two new additionsto this very exclusiverange, asking him to honour two artists that we havehad the great pleasureof being associatedwith. The first is the 1959RR, basedon the very amp thatthe late, great, RandyRhoads collectedfrom our factory back in 1980. We areconfidentthat this willappeal to manyguitarists, notjust as a great amplifier, butalso, for many, it willbe like owninga piece of history. The second new Signature amplifier is in honour of a greatfriend of ours, LemmyKilmister.I first met Lemmyin 1968 and havefollowed hiscareer fromthe beginning, before his timewith Hawkwind through to the worldwidesuccess of hisband Motorhead. He is notjust an amazing guitaristand frontman, he is alsoa good friend, so it is with a great deal of pridethat we introducea Signature bass headthis year, the 1992LEM. I am confident thatwhateveryour ability,whateveryour genre,you will be ableto find an amplifier in the MarshallProductCataloguethat will give you thetone and the soundyou are searchingfor. I wish youevery success.

The Jim Marshall Story

With virtually no formal educationbehind him due to childhood illness, Jim Marshall beganwork at theage of 13 in 1936. Duringa succession of jobs with little or no prospects, Jim had startedtap dancing and later singing with bands in the evenings. His naturaltalent for music further shone afterhe tookover on the drums when the band’s original drummer was drafted. It wasn’t long before Jim found himselfwith regular work as a drummer. In 1947 he began studying with the highly respected drum teacherMax Abrams and by the early 1950s Jim had turned professional.He became highly soughtafter as a drummer,led his own band and was a highly successful drum teacher. Jim’ssuccesscontinuedand by 1960he had openedthe firstMarshall shop, initially sellingdrums.However, dueto popular demand hewas soonstockingguitarsand amplifiers.By listeningto the guitarists coming into theshop, Jimrealisedthat theyrequireda sound that wasn’ton the market atthat time. Withthe aidof several engineers in 1962, after monthsof trials, thefirst Marshall ampwas bornand was an instantsuccess. Jimdesigned andbuiltthe matchingspeaker cabinet andthe rest,as theysay,is history.

In the Beginning.. .

There was the JTM45which was first unveiled in 1962 at Jim Marshall’smusic shop in West London. At that time, rock guitar playingas we now know it was very much in its infancy and players were constantly lookingfor new ways to redefine theirtone. It quicklybecame clear that the JTM45 was the perfect amplifier for the task at hand! While it was capableof providing plenty of ‘clean’ power, the JTM45 also did all kinds of wild thingswhen turned up all the way.This was just what legendary rock ‘n’ rollpioneers like Pete Townshendwere looking for.

By 1965 it was Pete Townshend’s need for greateron-stage volume which inspired Jim to build the first ever 100 Watt Marshall guitar head. The Who’sguitarist also wantedbigger cabinets and, as a single8x12" cabinet (Pete’s original request!) proved to be totally impractical, Jim came up with the idea of ‘stacking’ two 4x12"s, one on top of the other.And that’s how that irrefutableicon of rock amplification,the ‘Marshall Stack,’came into being. The fact that so many legendaryguitarists fromthat all-importantera of the late ’60s/early ’70s, chose Marshall as their backlinewas no accident. These playersall had their own distinctive style and each one was complemented perfectly by the dynamics and feel that the Marshall 1959 Super Lead ‘Plexi’amplifiers offered. This was personified by the late, great,Jimi Hendrix who created sounds throughthese Marshall amps whichhad never been heard before and arguably, have neverbeen matched since.

The Next Stage

As rock guitar playing evolved,Marshall continuedto successfully createnew amplifiers that offered exactly whatplayers were looking for. In 1975, the first Master Volume (MV) amps provided a higher level of distortion than ever beforeand alsodid so at a much more controllable volume. This breakthrough was exactly what many guitarists of that era were lookingfor. By the time the ’80s rolled along, the MV species had evolved into the JCM800 Series. The unmistakable roar of these amps, which shapedthe toneof that decade, is still favouredby manyof today’s cutting-edgeguitaristssuch as Kerry King of Slayerand Zakk Wylde. The JCM800 family also featuredmore flexible models with switchable channelsand built-in reverb. As increased gain became the order of the day, Marshall launched its Jubileeamplifiers in 1987. This no-nonsense, superb sounding

amp became the firm favourite of Slash of Guns ‘n’ Roses fameand was later re-issued in 1996 as the limited editionSlash Signature amp. As the ’80s gave way to the ’90s, players demanded even greaterflexibilityand gainlevels from their amps. Marshall, of course,responded in a timely fashionwith the JCM900 Series, the 30th Anniversary amps, the best-selling Valvestateline and the ‘industry standard’JMP-1 MIDI pre-amp. Theseproducts delivered exactlywhat players needed and took centrestage for much of that decade.

Right Here, Right Now. ..

Recognising that today’s guitarist demands a high level of versatility while stillcraving Marshall’s now legendary, valve-driventone, we launched the JCM2000 Seriesin the late’90s. This strong line of all-valve heads and combos offers both the tone and flexibility that playerssuch as Jeff Beck and Gary Moore demand . . . and countless others too. We also took hybridamp technologyto new heights with the release of the AVT (Advanced Valvestate Technology) line of amps, which successfully blendour valve expertise withdigital effects and cutting-edge solid-state poweramp circuitry thatemulates the sound and feel of a valve power stage.The result? A flexible and affordable alternative to all-valveamps which opened the Marshall door to the next generation of guitar greats. Fully understandingthat guitar players on a budget, or that are just startingout, deserve the best possibletone and features at an affordable price,we launched our new MG Series. This award-winningrange of nine combos and a head redefined what playerscan expect from inexpensive amplification. Continuing our policy of listening to the needs of today’sguitar playershas led to the creation of the Mode Four.Attitude, striking

looks and aboveall incrediblepower set the Mode Four and its matching cabinets apart.Combine this with an arsenal of great tone and features, delivered through state-of-the-art technology and you have a Marshalllike no other that has already won awards and a host of converts. Due to overwhelming public demand, in 2004 we launched the first two models in our brand new Handwired range, the 1974X and 2061X. This was followed by the much-anticipated 1959HW in 2005 and the limited run of JTM45/100 heads made to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the now iconic Marshall stack. The Handwired range is an ongoing series ofmeticulously accurate, handwired re-issues of classic Marshalls from yesteryear, including the Super 100JH Jimi Hendrix stack. Reviewers and users alike are unanimous in their acclaim of our point-to-point perfection. 2007 saw the introduction of the award-winning JVM4 range and the 2203KK Signature Series Kerry King head.

New for 2008

2008 is just as excitingwith the launch of the JVM2, a twochannel amplifier very much in the same vein as the JVM4 and complete with a 4-way programmable footswitch, this rangeis destined to be as successful as the JVM4. This year also sees two new additions to our SignatureSeries with the launch of the 1959RR,in honour of the late, great, Randy Rhoads,a stunning 100 Watthead that delivers a slightly different tone than the standard 1959 – a must for any Randy Rhoads fan. Last, but certainly not least, is the very first Signature bass head, the 1992LEM, in honour of our good and loyal friendLemmy from Motorhead, a monster of an amplifierthat epitomises Lemmy’s iconicstyle.

Modesof Tone

The JVM4channelamplifiers are synonymous withversatility andflexibility thanks to thethree modesassignedto each channel, and the JVM2 rangeis no exception. Both channels – Clean/Crunch andOverdrive – havegreen, orange and redmodes, eachone creating a unique, yet complimentary, tone to the previous. Thismeans that a total of six bespoke sounds can becalled uponat any one time fromthe intuitivefootswitch. From a bright, clean and honest tone producedfrom the Clean/Crunch channel in green mode,throughto the thunderous, uncompromisingdistortion unleashedthrough thered modedOverdrive channel, thesonic scopeof the JVM2 is astounding.This trulyis the evolution of guitar amplification.

JVM410H Head & JVM410C 2x12” Combo

The JVM Series 100 Watt, valve-driven power stage is built on the classic design responsible for the legendar y Marshall roar found in the JCM800 2203 and “Plexi” SuperLead amplifiers – a timeless foundation for countless classic rock and metal guitar tones for over four decades. Each of the JVM’s four channels: clean,crunch, OD1 & OD2 has three modes – green, orange and red – providing 12 totally unique, yet complimentary amplifiertopologies, making it 12 amps in one. As a result, the Series offers an amazing array of instantly switchable tones – from the cleanest clean to the highest gain ever found in a Marshall and allpoints in-between.

The JVM front panel is simple and uncompromising; dedicated Gain, EQ, Volume and Reverb are present for eachof the four channels. Add to this a Mastersection with dual Master Volumes, Resonance and Presence and you have a clear, concise layout that makes the JVM easy and intuitiveto use. With seamless switching, perfect memory, and MIDI, onboard logic not onlyensures switching is swift and silent, butalso remembers the position of each front panel switch in all 12 modes. Every JVM ismade at our Marshall factory in England using time-tested, traditional methods of craftsmanship and construction, combined with the latest advances inmoder n manufacturing technology, ensuring world class build quality and roadworthiness. Internally, the JVM circuitry and layouthas been kept to a minimum, ensuring the integrity of the guitartone and an incredibly low noise floor – this, coupled with meticulousvalve selection and high tolerance along with quality components addsto the all-important reliability factor that is synonymous with the Marshall legend. The JVM Series also includes theJVM 410C 2x12” combo which boasts two different speaker types – Celestion Vintage and a Celestion Heritage – allowing the comboto deliver spacious, rich tones backed-up with a solid low-endthump.

Ultimate Control& Connectivity

Every JVM issupplied with a 6-way, fully programmable footswitch. This revolutionary, UK patent-pending technology allows single front panel switches or entire set-ups (Channel, Mode, Reverb, FX Loop and Master Volume switch settings) to be simply assigned to any foot switch. The footswitch’s group of multi-coloured LEDs reflect every front panel switch status ensuring,in the heat of a performance, that you know exactly where you are with no needto see the amp. To add to it’s already impressive ‘guitarist friendliness,’ the JVM footswitch connects to theamplifier via a standard guitar lead, making it easy to replace with any length you may need. Additionally, the JVM’s MIDI Inand Thru connection means it can easily be integrated in a MIDIswitching set-up, allowing you to store and recall 128 complete amplifier set-ups. With its built-in memory and switchingoptions, the JVM’s possibilities are endless.

Launched in 2006, theVintage Modern Series is a rangeof UK manufactured all-valve amplifiers that caters forthe guitarist who likes to primarily controltheir sound from playing dynamics and their instruments volumeand tone controls. These amplifiershave 100% mid ’60sto early ’70s vintage British bluesrock tone withthe ability to switch to a hot rodmode to find those ‘modded’ sounds of the harder rockbands of that era. The KT66 Power Amp section and power supply are taken from theSuper 100models made from1966 to 1968, while the pre-amp has been optimised to provide greater flexibility insettingthe sound to complement specific instruments andstyles and ultimately achieve your own signature tone. Inherently less aggressive in the treble region than the laterEL34 loaded amps, but fatter inthe low mid and mid region, the sound is instantly recognisable as classicearly Marshallpower driven tone!

A MasterVolumehas been included in order to practically manage the output levelsat all venues.This is implemented afterthe ‘phasesplitter’in orderto fully exploit maximum pre-ampdrive whenthe master is turned downlow. A Reverblevel control mixes the on-board‘plate’reverb with the direct signal to whatever degreethe player chooses.The Reverbcan be toggled on and off via thefootswitch.

Tothe mindsand ears of many, the mythical100 Watt“Plexi” headsof the late’60s are considered the“Holy Grail”of great rocktone. Our handwired1959HW transports us back in timeto that celebratedera and the result is a breathtaking re-issuethat’sauthentic in everydetail – from thoseworld-famousfront panellegendsto the oversized, custom-built, “dropthrough” mainstransformer that lies at the veryheart of the beast. Goodlooks and impressive specsaside, the1959HW’sreal beauty lurks in itsunique and highly responsive tone. Tocomplement the1959HW’ssonic andvisual majesty,we offerthe 1960AHW (angled) and1960BHW(straight)4x12" cabinets that boast Basket Weavefret cloth,metal handles, “100” logosand are loaded with Celestion’s highly-acclaimed G12H-30 (55Hz) re-issue speakers.

2061X Head & 2061CX Cabinet

An authentic, handwired re-issue of the original20 Watt2061 head (1968-1973),this compact,twin-channel, all-valve beautyhouses 2 x ECC83valvesin its preamp and a pair of cathode-biased EL84s in its powerstage.The 2061Xfeatures asolid-state,silicondiode rectifier and is a veryaggressive and surprisingly modern soundingamplifier, whilestill possessing thatunmistakable and highly desirable, vintageall-valve tone. Justlike theoriginal,the 2061Xboastsa point-to-point,handwired, tagboard circuit, a mild-steel chassisand Dagnall transformers.

As theperfect sonicand visualpartner forthe 2061X,we offer the 2061CX – a compact, angled-front 2x12", 60Watt cabinet loadedwith Celestion’s renownedG12H-30(75Hz)re-issuespeakers.

1974X Combo & 1974CX Extension Cabinet

The 1974X is an authentic re-issue of the fabled 18 Watt 1974 combo of the latesixties(1966-1968). Just likethe original, itboasts a point-to-point,handwired, tagboardcircuit housed in an aluminium chassis, plusa valve-driven tremolocircuit.At the very heartof its simple, but effective, twochanneldesign canbe found six valves: three ECC83s in thepreamp, an EZ81rectifier and a pairof cathode-biased EL84sin the power stage.The outputand mains transformers arevital componentsin any amplifier because theyinfluence performance,sound and feel, so we worked extremelyclosely withour associates at Dagnall in order to duplicate the original, “off-the-shelf” transformersin all areas. Another majorcontributingfactor to thedistinctive sound of vintage1974 combos is the waythe original20 Watt,ceramic magnet, Celestion Greenback T1221 loudspeaker’s tone hassoftenedwith age. In order to recreate the gorgeously smooth tones of a 35-year-old vintage Greenback, Celestion notonly revisited the1967 recipefor the speaker,they alsocame up with a proprietary way of “aging” the speakers so theysound andfeel like theoriginalsmade in the late’60s! The sameexact, exclusive “aged”T1221 Greenback speakeris also foundin the 1974CX,a 1x12" extensioncabinet forthe 1974X.

The Vintage Series comprises the 100 Watt 1959SLP head, 50 Watt 1987X head, the 30 Watt JTM45 head, 30 Watt 1962 ‘Bluesbreaker’ combo, the 100 Watt JCM800 2203 head and the JCM900 4100 head. 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. Due to high demand from users we have taken this opportunity to add a sonically transparent Effects Loop to the 1959SLP, 1987X and JCM800 2203 models. 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. The only exception is the JCM900 4100 where the Series Effects Loop has always been a pivotal part of this versatile amp’s design. A loop Level switch on all these models ensures compatibility with both rack processors and stomp boxes.

1959SLP Head

THISIS IT! The amp thatdefinesclassic rock– the Marshall100 Watt SuperLead Plexiglas headof the late ’60s, re-issued inall its glory. To ensure tonal authenticitywe searchedfor an amp fromthis periodthat epitomisedthis model.We gave thisamp to our guitarplayingR&D experts and they developed a replica that was so exactwe couldn’ttell themapart. As previously mentioned, the only modern concession made was toadd a tonally transparent Series Effects Loopwith a true bypass switchingoption for thepurist.

1987X

Head

Though the 50 Watt 1987Xshares thesame frontand rear panelfeatures as itsbig brother, the 1959SLP, it does haveits own distinct personality. Sweet, warm,singing sounds arethe trademark of thisgreat tone machine. As isthe case withthe 1959SLP, the 1987X hasfittingsand hardware as true to theoriginalsas possible,to ensurean authentic Marshall ‘vintage’look, plusthe additionof a SeriesEffects Loopwith Bypass and Levelswitches.

2245

(JTM45) Head

WhenJim Marshallstartedmanufacturing amps back in1962, the first one outof the workshop was theJTM45. Thisamp instantly becamea hit and launcheda whole new generationof amazingguitar players. Since then,connoisseurs of tone havesearchedhigh and low fororiginal examples of thisbeautiful amp. Now the search is over;the re-issued JTM45is full of glassy cleantone and fluidwarm sustain. By includingGZ34 valverectification, as foundin the original, we have ensured a faithful recreationof the JTM45’s signaturesound. TheGZ34 rectifier valve interactswith the restof the valvescausingsubtle harmonics to shift andsmoulderbeneath everynote you play.

JCM800 2203 Head

The all-valve JCM800 2203 is one of themost highly respected 100Watt Marshall headsin the company’s long history.Evolving fromthe legendary 100 Watt‘Plexi’ head,it was one of our first amplifiers to feature aMaster Volume (MV) control. The veryessence of simplicity, the JCM8002203 is a one channel, all-valve amp withno reverb or built-in effects. Its foolproofinterface, distinctiveroar and larger-than-life ‘edge’ immediatelyset the standard by whichall other rock ampswere judged andit remained the‘industry benchmark’ throughoutthe entire decade of its production life. Now it’s back by popular demandand, as with the 1959SLP and 1987X, we’veadded a Series Effects Loop featuringa true bypass switchthat takesthe loop completely out of the circuit, thusensuring theoriginal tone isn’t compromised in any shape or form.

JCM900 4100 Head

Another player’s favourite,the JCM900 4100 all-valve 100 Watt Marshall head is available once again.Known for its greattone and reliability, the JCM900range has won manyfans with its incredible versatility. Channel A has been voicedfor a sparklingclean on lower gainsettings, building up to a raunchycrunch when driven hard.Channel B takes off fromwhere ChannelA finishesand is perfect for any leadtone – from silky smooth to searing saturation. As well as having separate Gain controls,each channel has its own Master section containing controls for Master Volumeand Master Reverb. A Series Effects Loop with Level switchallows you to useeither floor pedals or rack effects.Whatever style of rock you play the 4100 will give you tonal flexibilitywithout compromise.

1962 ‘Bluesbreaker’ Combo

After the huge success of the JTM45 amplifier, a 2x12" combo version was released to satisfy popular demand and the now legendary1962 combo was born.Once again the use of a GZ34 valve rectifier is responsible for helpingto achieve the famed output stage compression and sustain exhibiteduniquely by both the JTM45 and 1962.

Though tonallysimilar to a JTM45, the 1962 combo is loaded with two re-issue‘Greenback’ 25 Watt speakersto re-createthat classic sixties tone. The 1962 ‘Bluesbreaker’ combo also comes with the additionof a footswitchable Tremoloeffect.

PB100Power Brake

The formidable family of JCM2000 valve amps was born when we launched the DSL100 and DSL50 heads to an unprecedented wave of critical and public acclaim in 1997 with a design that gave guitarists virtually any ampsound from ‘Nashville Clean’ to jaw-droppinghi-gain crunch, we knew these heads were destined to take their place in line with the other great Marshall amplifiers. With each subsequent JCM2000 product introduction, glowing accoladescontinued. The final addition to the line came whenwe unleashed the baby of the family – the EL84-powered DSL401combo. Once again, the reception it received was overwhelmingly positive and its inclusion in the line made the JCM2000 Series the most comprehensiverange of valve amplifiers in the illustrious 40 year history of Marshall.

DSL100 & DSL50Heads

Countless hours ofR&D and,of course, listening wentintothe creation of the100 WattDSL100and 50Watt DSL50 heads.As DSL is anacronym for ‘Dual Super Lead’,it shouldcome asno surprise that eachamp hastwo footswitchablechannels – Classicand Ultra. Furthermore,eachof these channelsboaststwo modes: the Classicchanneloffers a Clean/Crunch option while the Ultra offers Lead 1 orLead 2. Insteadof merely offering a variation in gain level to the twochannels, each oneof thesefour modes hasbeen individuallyvoiced as anamp in itsown right. The tremendous tonal versatilityof these amps, coupled with a 100% purevalve signal path,dual Reverbcontrols, Tone Shift switch(which ‘scoops out’ the mids)and a Deep switch(which adds a tight,low end boost), causedthe guitar worldto sit up and take notice right from the outset. As soon as you playone, you’ll hearand feel why so many of the world’s foremost players and journalistswere quick to dub theDSL

headsas “the best Marshalls ever!”It also won’t surprise you when you learnthat this dynamicduo of JCM2000 ampshave become the company’sbest sellingall-valve headsto date.

DSL401 Combo

Weighing in at 40 Wattsand housingtwo independent, footswitchable channels,the compact,EL84-poweredDSL401 1x12"combo is the smallest model of the impressive, eight memberJCM2000family. Don’tlet the relatively smallsize fool youthough, it packs a powerful punch. In fact,the DSL401made such a big impression on Art Thompson,the technical editorof GuitarPlayer magazine,that he felt compelledto write the following:‘Theirtight, punchy tonesare Marshall

through and through,these newcombos arethe mightiest minis that Marshall hasever made.’

Likeits bigger brothers, the Cleanchannelof the DSL401producesa widearray of crystal clearyet complex,clean sounds. It alsogets big ‘n’ bluesy when the channel’s Gain control is cranked up. As Mr Thompson so aptly put it in his Guitar Player review: ‘The clean

channel yieldssparkling tones at low settings and increasinglevels of fat grind as you turn up the gain. With the Gain knob maxed, you get a throatylead sound that cleans up nicely when you roll down your guitar volume.Strats and Teles sounded particularly rich and aggressive.’

Sticking withArt’smuch-respectedeloquence, here’s how he described the Overdrive channel of thisamp in his rave review: ‘Depending on how

you setthe highlyinteractive Gain andVolumecontrols, you candial in anything frompert overdriveto perpetualsustainand beyond.’

The DSL401 boasts thefollowing rearpanel attributes:dual speaker jacks(with an 8 Ohm/16 Ohm impedance selectorswitch)for driving external cabinetsand an optionalReverb on/off footswitch jack.The most significant‘extra’of them all though isthis, the DSL401 hasthree footswitchable sounds – Clean, OD1& OD2! The difference between OD1 andOD2? A massive20dB boostwhich is instantlyaccessiblewith a meretap of your footon the supplied2-way (Clean/OD,OD1/OD2) LED footswitch.

JCM2000 TSL Amplifiers

TSL100 Head•TSL122 Combo

20 MarshallAmplificationProductCatalogue

When we launched the DSL100 in the late ’90s, the world’s guitar press unanimously hailed it as ‘the best Marshall ever’. As a result of this, the pressure was truly on when we introduced the next two members of the JCM2000 family, the 100 Watt,Triple Super Lead(TSL) twins: the TSL100 head and TSL122 2x12" combo. How did the critics react? ‘It does everything my old

Marshallsdo andmore . . . the TSL is far more versatile than anyother valve Marshall out there, and offers many ways to “tweak” your tone. The TSL100 has taken the lead

as the best sounding Marshall amp available today. Marshall’s sound engineers have outdone themselves this time. It’ll be tough for them to top this one,’ is how Guitar Shop magazine put it. We’re delighted to reportthat

this rave review was theglobal norm.

TSL100 Head & TSL122 Combo

Whatmakes the TSL100 andTSL122so special?Great tonecombined witha myriad of mouth-wateringfacilitiesthat makethem incredibly versatile. The TripleSuper Lead’s three completely independent, footswitchable channels (Clean, Crunch and Lead) effectively give you three different classic ampsin one casing.Each channel has itsown controlsfor Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle and Bass. The Cleanchannelalso has a Mid Boostswitch,while the Crunch and Lead channels eachhave their own Tone Shiftswitchesthat ‘scoop’ outthe mids. Whenit comes to how these 100 Watterssound, Tom Beaujourput it like thisin his reviewfor GuitarWorld magazine: ‘TheClean channel’s

smooth, elastic tonewas a welcomesurprise. . . with the MidBoost engaged it waseasy to conjure the warmsparkleof an old F*ndertwin. ‘Crankingthe gain on the Clean channel yieldedbiting Hendrixian tones.

The TSL100’s Crunch channel livedup to my expectationand proved stunninglymalleabletoo. For those wholive for gaingalore,the TSL’s leadchannel deliverssinging sustain and filthygrunge, andwith the aid of thewell-voiced tonecontrols,it’s easyto sculptan almost infinitearray of tones.’

The TSL100 andTSL122 bothboast the samevalve configuration of 4 x EL34 output valves and 4 x ECC83 pre-ampvalves.They also share the followingfeatures:

• FootswitchableAccutronics Spring Reverb withdual controls

(onefor Clean, onefor Crunch/Lead).

• Individual Presence controls andDeep switches for Clean and

Crunch/Leadchannels.

• TwoParallelFX Loops (footswitchable).

• XLR DI output featuring Marshall’s acclaimed speaker emulation,

allowing direct connection to recording or PA mixing deskswithoutthe needfor microphones or DI boxes.

• A PowerAmp Mute facility for silent recording via the built-inDI.

• A ruggedly built, 5-wayLED footcontroller thatgives you theability to

switch between the three individual channels, plus switch the Reverb and FXLoops on/off.

• An innovativeVirtualPower Reduction (VPR) switchwhich, when

engaged, emulatesthe sound andfeel of a 25 Wattvalve poweramp. VPR wasdescribedin GuitarWorld magazine by Tom Beaujour as follows: ‘Theusefulness of theVPR featurecannot be overestimated.

Beyond allowing youto avoid nastyevictionnotices,it will make youthe bestfriend of everysoundmanin the world.’

Tomaximise its already superiorsonic powers, the TSL122, 2x12" combo hasbeen fittedwith twodifferent 12" speaker types– aMarshall/Celestion Vintage and a Marshall/CelestionHeritage.By combining the unique characteristics of this pairing,optimum toneand performance isensured.

TSL60 Head•TSL601Combo•TSL602Combo

22 MarshallAmplificationProductCatalogue

This trio of triple channel, 60 Watt, tone monsters are proud members of the critically-acclaimed JCM2000 Series. In keeping with their rich family heritage, they each boast a 100% pure, all-valve signal path (4 x ECC83 pre-amp valves, 2 x EL34 power valves) and a host of ‘guitarist-friendly’ features. The three units that make up the TSL60 Series are: the TSL60 head, the TSL601 1x12" combo and the TSL602 2x12" combo. In terms of amplifier attributes, they’re identical triplets – in fact, the only difference between them is the size of the cabinet in which they each dwell and the fact that the TSL601 and TSL602 combos obviously drive straight into their own internal, custom-voiced Celestion speakers.

Common Ground

As TSL standsfor Triple Super Lead,logic dictates that the TSL60s have threefootswitchable channels:Clean, Crunchand Lead. Add to this a footswitchable SpringReverb with dualcontrols (onefor Clean, one for Crunch/Lead), a footswitchableParallel FX Loopwith Mix control,an XLR DI OutputfeaturingMarshall’s acclaimedspeaker emulation,plus a Deep switch and you havean impressiverange of highlyflexible, professional amps. The Cleanchannel has itsown controlsfor Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass and Reverb. Like theirbigger brothers, the100 Watt TSL100head and TSL122combo, each of theTSL60 tripletsis capable of a wide rangeof harmonicallyrich, clean tones– from warm, roundjazz to bright country twang.Furthermore, when the Gaincontrol is cranked, theirso-called Cleanchannel produces awonderfullyauthentic,bluesy crunch. .. just like those vintageamps of yesteryear.

The Crunch and Lead channels each have independent controls for Volumeand Gainwhile sharing controls for Treble, Middle, Bass and Reverb. They also share a front panel Tone Shift switch which, when activated,reconfigures the mid-rangeto produce a chunky, ‘scooped’sound. This is perfect for producing modern, high-gain crunchtones and also for beefing up your soundwhen playing at low volumes. In keeping with its impressiveTSL lineage,the Crunch channel’s Gain control will takeyou from a mild, almostclean crunch,all the way through to a saturated overdrive, perfect for aggressive rhythm work and evensoloing. Then,as you’d expectfrom any amp worthyof sporting the nobleJCM2000 badge,the Lead channelgoes a step (or four!) furtherand is capable of producing someof the highest levels of distortion everfound in a Marshall.More importantly, it does thisin a highlymusical way so yournotes remainclear and well-defined,even when thegain is cranked to themax and you’re blazing away at the speedof light! In addition to a MasterVolume control and the aforementioned dual Reverbcontrols,the Master Section has an FX Mix control for the rear panelmounted Parallel FX Loop,a Master PresenceControl anda Deep switch. The latterprovidesa tightlyfocused, resonant bass boost that will fatten-upyour sound dramatically at any volume.To roundoff this neat little package, all the TSL60s come supplied with a 5-way, LED footcontroller. This sturdy devicenot only allows youto switch between the amp’s three channels, butalso gives you on/offcontrolof the Reverb and FX Loop.

TSL60Series Speakers

The TSL601 and TSL602combos feature a custom-voiced speaker designed by our R&D department in conjunction with Celestion.This 12" speaker was specifically developed with the TSL601 and TSL602 combosin mind and we’reso delighted withits sheer tonality,attitude and powerthat it has earned thetitle the ‘Wolverine’.Why? Because,like the animal after whichit is named, thisbeast of a speaker delivers a mighty, tone-filled bite thatbelies its diminutive size!

AMP 1 is the‘Classic’side of the ModeFour.Wheneverit is selected, the poweramp reconfigures to recreatethe unmistakablesound and feelof our world-renowned 100 Wattvalve powerstage.Using this asa sonic foundation,AMP 1 produces Marshall’s legendaryopen roar. While AMP 1’s CLEAN modeproducesincredibly dynamic, three-dimensional cleanand bluesycrunch sounds, selectingCRUNCH unleashesthe unbridledaggression and biteof a 2203, but withlevels ofgain never imagined in 1981when the much-lauded JCM800 serieswas first launched.

AMP 2

In terms of sheer gain,AMP 2takes over from where AMP 1 leaves off, with OD2 mode offering more gain than any other Marshall before! Thanks to the Mode Four’s radical design, the player retains

maximum control while searching for the ultimate high-gain signature sound. Whenever AMP 2 is selected, the Mode Four’spower section reconfiguresitself so it can create the deep, dark-sounding, loose low-end that has proven so popular with many modern playerswho either detune regular 6-strings, or use 7-string or detuned Baritone guitars.

The Power to Deliver

Due tothe unique design andthe incredibly highheadroomthe ModeFour’s350 Watt power stagepossesses, AMP 2’simpressively widebottom-end not onlyhas the soundand feel of an all-valve amp, it alsodoesn’tlose definition athigh stage volumes – a problem that manyother similar sounding, all-valvesystemssuffer from.

FullyLoaded for ProfessionalUse

The Mode Four was created with the professionalguitarist in mind and boastsa host of carefully thought out features that havebeen designed to give you the ultimate in flexibilityand control. Theseinclude:

• Separate controlsfor Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle andTreblefor

AMP 1 andAMP 2.

• Individually voicedScoop switches for AMP 1 and AMP2.

• AMP 2 hasa 3-way ToneMatrix control, enabling you to dramatically

reconfigure the all-importantmids, whileleaving theBass, Middleand Treblecontrolsfully interactive with eachother.

• Footswitchable,built-inDigital Reverb with separate controls for AMP 1

• FootswitchableSolo Level controlthat gives a levelincreaseacrossall

fourmodes of up to 6dB(i.e. twicethe volume).

• Mastercontrols for Resonance, Presence andVolume.

• Tuner Outjack with a frontpanel Tuner Muteswitch for‘silent’tuning.

• XLR and1/4" jack Emulated Line Outputs.

• LoadProtection Circuitry.

• 6-wayLED Footcontroller supplied.

26 MarshallAmplificationProductCatalogue

Thunderous, dark and thumpingmetal tone, the Kerry King JCM800 2203KKSignature amplifier is part of our on-going commitment to our loyal artists. Marshall, in partnership with Kerry King, is proud to have developed a personalised version of the legendary 2203 based on Kerry’s own amplifier nicknamed ‘The Beast’.

2203KK Head

The original JCM8002203, initially launchedin March 1981,proved incredibly popularwith rockguitarists in the ’80sand beyond,with its distinctiveroar andlarger thanlife ‘edge’it became,and still remains, the standardthat all otherrock amps arejudged on. It wasduring thistime that KerryKing, guitaristwith Slayer(considered one ofthe greatestmetal bandsin the world)picked uphis golden child ‘TheBeast’. Knowing thathe wantedhis guitar toneto be as individual as he is,he added an EQ and pushed themids, creating “a frown not a smile”. Alongsidethis he addeda noise gate to keep things quietand accentuatehis staccato playing style.Used in countlessshows and records over many years, thecombination of ‘TheBeast’ and this outboardequipmentpoweredthe sound of KerryKing untilthe day he received the first 2203KK. Kerryhas used Marshall amplifiers throughouthis hugelysuccessful career, to this dayproudlybearing theMarshalllogo when he performs witha wall of 30 Marshall cabinets behind him.Marshallfelt it only fitting to produce a Signature amplifier forhim. With‘The Beast’and Kerry’s stageequipmentin the safe hands of the R&D team, they worked closely withKerry to develop the tone, feeland lookof a great Marshall amp that defines thetrue attitude and power of Kerry’s sound. Kerry’s hands-on approach to theprojectresultedin numerous visits to theMarshallfactory andputting theprototypes vigorously through theirpaces, roadtestingeach one and using threeof themevery nightof his 2006 and 2007tours.

The 2203KK is a 100Watt singlechannel,MasterVolume,all-valve UK madehead. At its heart is a classic mid-’80s 2203drawingon the powerand dynamics of ‘TheBeast’ to takethe sound further and placing it at thecutting edgeof modern rocktone. Additionally, its power stage featuresfour KT88 valves, adding extrawarmth and girth to the sound. Withthe amplifier,Kerry usesMode Four MF280B cabinets, taking advantageof their tallersize to provide balancedmids and a huge bottom end. ‘TheBeast’ button engages Kerry King’ssignature tone. Recreatingthe soundof his original outboard equipment,it featuresa studio quality ultra fastnoise reducer, ridingthe signalsdynamicsbut still maintaining the natural sustain andvery fast decaysfor staccato rhythms and short pauses, the switch lights redwhen the circuit activatesand green when the signal is passed without attenuation. A custom-voiced control focusing a gainboost on themids has been specifically tuned to Kerry’s specification. The gate andassault provide controlover the guitar signal allowing youto vary its thresholdand intensity,truly capturingthe ferocity and force of Kerry’ssound. The 2203KK features artworkinspiredby Kerry’smany iconictattoos. Marshall hasdevelopednew techniques toallow designs to be printed directly onto the fretcloth, allowingthis distinctive designto leave the frontpanel andexpand overthe amp’sbaffle.The tribal tattoo motif trails overthe brushedgold panelpointingto ‘The Beast’switch andthe style of thepanel’stext is takendirectlyfrom one of Kerry’s tattoos. The motif and textare used across thewhole design.

Included withthe amplifier are:

• A heavyduty dustcover featuringcustom artwork

• FiveKerry King Signature plectrums

• An A4 colour handbook with handwrittennotes fromKerry and featuringexclusivephotographs

Leaving the lastword to Kerry:

“. . . the 2203KK is nowmy main head andalways willbe. Crank itup and enjoy thebest amp on theplanet!!!”

“Jimi Hendrix was my greatest ambassador without any doubt at all,” states the Guv’nor, Jim Marshall. “In my book his playing is still the best ever and his showmanship was fantastic. I can still remember him scaring the living daylightsout of all the big name English guitarists because they’d never seen or heard anything like Jimi – no one had.”

Super100JH Head

In closeconjunction withAuthentic Hendrix, the family company establishedby Jimi’s father, the late James Al Hendrix, andafter many months of painstaking research, we are proudto announcethe limited edition, handwired‘Super100JH’ 100 Watt stack.This is the latest addition to ourongoingseries of handwiredre-issues. It celebrates the 40thAnniversary of our world famousassociation with the late,great JimiHendrix andpays homageto the legendary guitarist. “Anyone who truly knew Jimiwas well awareof how seriously he took his instrumentsand equipment,”states Janie Hendrix, the President/CEO of AuthenticHendrix.“To achieve thesound he heardplayinginside, he had tohave the righttools. Gauging fromhis performances,he clearly embraced Marshallamps. We too,embrace Marshall becauseit allowed us to hearJimi as we neverwould havebefore,with the truestsound and mostfeeling.We are happyto see the past reborn in the form of this JimiHendrix ampstack. It is ourpleasureto partnerwith Marshall Amplification in giving volume tothe legacyof Jimi.” Afterhearingand then playing through a Marshall stack for thefirst time whilein London during the Autumnof 1966, Jimi Hendrix wanted to meet the manwho createdthese amplifiers and coincidentally sharedhis first and middle names – JamesMarshall!Thus, in October of thatyear,the guitaristvisited Jim’s shop in Hanwell and a lasting friendship and associationwas immediatelystruck.“Despitehis somewhatwild appearanceand his incredible,larger-than-lifeon-stagepersona,Jimi was a verysoftly spoken and extremelypoliteyoung man witha fantastic

senseof humour,” Dr Marshallrecalls.“We hit it offright awayand became good friends.” On leaving Jim’s shop, Jimi had secured an order for his100 Watt Marshallstacks and,as the sayinggoes, the restof the storyis now history. . . “Meeting Jimwas beyondgroovy forme,” Jimi was quoted as saying abouthis visit tothe Marshallshop in Hanwell. “It was such a relief to talk to someone whoknows and caresabout sound. Jimreally listened tome and answereda lot of questions. I love my Marshall amps:I am nothing without them!” The JimiHendrixstack consists of the Super 100JH head,the angled 1982AJH 4x12”and the extra-tall,straight-fronted 1982BJH 4 x12” cabinets.The originalversionsof this iconic, tall, pinstriped stackwere builtin 1966 and theSuper 100 headwas the immediate successorto Marshall’s first ever 100Watt head– the famous dualoutput transformer JTM45/100.

19 92LEM Lemmy Amplifier

1992LEM Superbass Signature Head

30 MarshallAmplificationProductCatalogue

Not many can claim the ‘Living Legend’ status, but

Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister is most certainly

deserving of the title. He also happens to be one of

Marshall’s most ardent fans, a relationship that we are

proud to say stretches back over three decades.

To honour this unique partnership, the Marshall team

has created a Signature Series amplifier that takes its

inspiration from Lemmy’s very own modified 1992

100 Watt Super Bass unit, ‘Murder One’. The result is

an amp that delivers sublime tone combined with

shear volume and crushing power, all wrapped up in a

rugged, over-sized cab. The 1992LEM is no mere

re-issue, this is a celebration of an iconic amplifier and

its masterful owner, this is Murder One MKII.

Best of British Bass

To produce an authentic reincarnation of the original, ‘Murder One’ itself was placed in the more than capable hands of the engineers in our Research and Development Depar tment. Voltages were measured, transformers examined and circuitry scrutinisedto establish the winning formula that has made Lemmy’s 1992 Super Bass such a formidable piece of kit. To ensure that the end product would be exacting in its toneand performance, every effort has been taken to source components from their original suppliers and/or manufacturers. The results have enabled the team at Marshall to create a bass amp with real pedigree. Internally, Murder One’s circuitry has been modified, effectively creating a hybrid amplifier by merging the characteristicsof a stock 1992 Super Bass with elements of aSuper Lead, the outcome is a bass amp with incredible sonic depth and unbelievable tonal range.

The changes to the circuitry allowyou, the player, to achieve a far brighter, tighter sound whilst the inherent grit and raw strength of an un-modded 1992 model can still be found in abundance when called for. The power section is driven by four EL34power valves that produce 100 wattsof unrelenting, mind-numbing volume and tone. The front panel contains a range of simple to use, but highly effective, features that any bass player will appreciate. Your tone can be fine tuned by wayof the three stage equalisation controls – Bass, Middle and Treble – while Volume controls for bothchannels 1 and 2 enhance the usabilityof the amp as a whole. A separate Presence control allows you to adjust the power section of the amp and adds higherfrequencies to your tone. This, in turn, creates more bite in your sound, allowing those crucial bass lines to cut through and be heard in all their thundering glory.

Customise Cor ner

The attention to detail that hasbeen lavished on the 1992LEM’s internals has alsobeen applied to the unique styling and distinctive look of the amp itself. Theoriginal ‘Murder One’, when made in 1976, had been finished in red vinyl until, at some point, it was painted jet black. When one ofthe black protective corners was accidently knocked off, it revealed the original covering underneath, leaving one corner of the unit in red. Additional customisationcame with two ornate carved wooden creststhat Lemmy acquired whilst on a tour of America. Thesewere painted gold and when paired with matching five point stars, atruly unique symbol was created, further adding tothe character and personality of ‘Murder One’. With all this in mind theMarshall team have recreated this look to a tee. A specially made red protective corner has been added to the amplifiers to mimic that of itsforerunner, while the Marshall script logo and brushed gold aluminium front panel are flanked by replicas of those iconic golden emblems. Signatures from Lemmy and Dr Jim Marshall, along withMotorhead and Ace Of Spades logos complete the back panel.

Finished with white piping, chrome sockets and a hard-wearing handle, this amp continues Marshall’s proud history of creating products of the highest order, both in terms of tone, performance and build quality. Improving on the sonic capabilities and extraordinary durability of ‘Murder One’ was always going to be a huge challenge. Due to much improved construction methods and good old-fashioned craftsmanship the new 1992LEM lives upto the expectations set by its predecessor and then some. Lemmy has toured with his new Signature Series amp to ensure it was up to the challenge, and we’re happy to report that it most definitely was. So, with all boxes ticked, and official approval from the man himself, its time for ‘Murder One’ to step aside and for the 1992LEM to create it’s own rock legacy.

Throughout our history we have strived to build strong relationships betweenourselves and the artists who fly the flag for Marshall. Sometimes,tragically, this partnership is ended prematurely. Cited by countless guitarists over the years, Randy Rhoads remains hugely influential in the world of rock ‘n’ roll and continues to inspirenew generations to pick up the guitar. As a rock iconwho’s reputation as a technical wizard with a unique sense of style precedes him, we felt it fitting to honour this ambassador of Marshall with his own Signature amp. We are proudto present the 1959RR Head.

In the Beginning

When it cameto choosing whichamp to associatewith Randy, there was a clearand obvious candidate that had always stood out from his backline of Marshall stacks. After a visit to the Marshall factory in 1980, Randy tookownershipof a specially customised amplifierthat had already earned itself a formidablereputation amongstthe guitarists of theera. The JMP 1959 100Watt Super Lead,finishedin white,was totally bespoke to Randyand featuredon the Ozzy Osbourne albumsDiary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz.This legendary amp, complete withmatching 19604x12” cabinets, also accompaniedRandy on mammothtours of the USA, UK and Europe untilhis untimely death in 1982. Withthe kind permission of his family, a Marshall engineer was allowed exclusive accessto examine, photograph and catalogueRandy’s1959 JMP which had been keptin secure storage since theearly ’80s. The information gathered proved crucialin attainingthose incredible ‘beefed up’ tonesand one-of-a-kind styling only to be foundwith this particular Marshall amplifier. This allowed the team at Marshall to create a truly honestand detailedrepresentation of a pieceof rock historyand, in turn,do justice to the memoryof a guitar legend.

What’s inside?

Internally, the circuitry has undergone modification to the signal path to allow the ampto producea breathtaking, overdriven, yet beautifully full sound,essential for attaining those sort-after ‘Randyesque’ tones.This adjustment,called the CascadingGain Stage,makes it possible to controlthe extra gain that is generated, affording you completecontrol over yoursound. Components, including the transformers, have been sourced from the original suppliers and over 50% of parts are loadedinto the circuit by hand. Every individual wire is soldered into placemanually and all remaining connections are meticulously constructed and fixed into positionat our UK factory. It’s this care and attention to detail that ensuresthat the 1959RR is as solid and reliable as the nerve tinglingtones it produces. Cosmetically the amp retains the distinctive, anodisedgold front panel of the original 100 Watt headwhile Randy’s iconic image and signature adorn the back plate.Covered in brilliantwhite ‘elephant grain’vinyl and protected withblack corner caps, the wholeunit is toppedof withan over-sized,black Marshall logo,a feature that Randy had addedto the original when he visitedthe factory. If that wasn’tenough, containedwithin the handbookare never before published photos plusexclusive essays and quotes, all celebrating the life and musicof the man himself. A combination oftraditionalelectronic craftsmanship,modern construction methods and a passion for creating the most inspiring guitaramplifiers in the world meanthe 1959RR is a true replica of that infamous amp that left the factorywith Randy Rhoads almost threedecades ago. Still revered to this day by many in the music industry, we at Marshall are honoured thatthe 1959RR will be testament to Randy’slongevity and natural talent for good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll.This addition to the Signature Series, withits warm sonic depthand unique majesticstyle, will no doubt prove its self worthyof thelegendary guitarist it pays homage to.

The only choice for serious musicians. Nothing compares to Marshall cabinets in terms of awesome tone and projection. Both visually and aurally, Marshall cabs are indeed ‘the business!’ Roadworthiness is a vital prerequisite in the world of relentless touring and as our 46 years of cabinet building attests, Marshall cabinets are definitely built to standthe test of time!

The Marshall Stack

Nothing personifies the imageof rock ‘n’roll more completely thana wall of Marshall stacks.Though oftenimitated,nothingcomparesto the original.The world’s firstever 4x12" cab wasdesigned andbuilt by Jim Marshall in 1962, andwith it a legendwas born. Sincethen we have madecountlessthousands, which have appeared on stages all over the globe. Followingclose on the heels of the immediatesuccessof the Marshall 4x12", camethe first everstack – namely, an angle-fronted cab on topof a straight-frontedcab, withan amplifierhead placedon top. Thiscame aboutafter discussions withPete Townshendof The Who. Peteasked Jim tobuild him an 8x12" cab with an angledfront – the Guv’nor agreed, but warned theguitarist that the cab wouldbe extremely difficultto move. Nevertheless, Peteinsisted,so six of theseawesomecabinetswere built. Afterbeing bombardedwith complaintsfrom his roadcrew,Pete returned to Jimto look for a morepracticalapproach to building this wonderful sounding behemoth. ‘We’ll cutthe cab in half,’ was Jim’s immediatereply,and thus, thelegendaryMarshallstack cameinto being! Whathappenedto the six 8x12"cabs we hearyou ask? Well,two went to PeteTownshend,two went to JohnEntwhistle (The Who’s bassist)and the remainingpair wentto the Small Faces. Public reaction to the impressive lookand equallyimpressive sound of the Marshall stack wasincredible fromthe start and,not surprisingly, it has stayed in production eversince. As a result, thisimmediately recognisable rock‘n’ roll iconcan be foundanywhereand everywhere thatelectricguitar is played! As we inventedthe stack,Marshall4x12"s arethe only true originals – everything else is merelyan imitation.

Speaker’s Corner

Tosatisfythe increasinglydiversetastes of themodern guitarist,Marshall 1960sare available with threedifferenttypes of Celestion speakers:

a) Standard 75 Watt ‘G12T-75’ speakers(1960A/B). b) Thewarm sounding70 Watt ‘Vintage’ speakers (1960AV/BV). c) Re-issue 25Watt Greenbacks, ‘G12M-25’ (1960AX/BX& TV).

Eachspeaker typehas its own individual character, so we urge you to try all three flavours before making yourfinal decision. The 1960AX/BX and 1960TV cabs areloaded with25 Watt ‘Greenback’ speakers.In order to recreatethe classiclooks as wellas the classictones of yesteryear, the AX andBX sport a smoother ‘Levant’ covering andchequered fretcloth. The 1960TV is finishedwith the earlier style ‘EC’fret clothand is three inches tallerthan a standard 4x12" –hence the ‘TV’in its name whichis an acronym for‘Tall,Vintage.’

Features

Allour cabinets share thesame highqualityof designand craftsmanship. Our highest quality woodworkincludesthe ‘fingerlocking’of each and everyjoint. Thishelps giveour cabinetsthe incrediblestrengthand durabilitywhich has become as legendaryas the Marshall sounditself. A godsend to all gigging guitarists androadiesare the heavyduty castors fitted as standard onall 1960 cabinets ensuring that they’re ready to rollwithoutrocking.

MC Series: MC412A, MC412B& MC212

The sonic powerand iconicpresenceof a full stackhas been the dream of manyguitarists. Newfor 2007, Marshall fulfils those dreams and presents the MC cabinetseries– Aseriesof entry levelcabinetsthat for the first time puts a real Marshall full size4x12" stack in reach of many. Madeat our UK factoryand loadedwith Celestion speakers,our engineershave workedhard to ensurethat theseare the mostaffordable fullsize Marshall cabinets available,while still providing the sonicsand buildqualitythat are morethan worthyof the badge theywear.The MC412s 200 Watts ofpower,combinedwith the sameflexible Mono/Stereo switching of our 1960s,means it willhandle anyMarshall guitar head withease. Werecommendusing 4 Ohmsfor gettingfull powerout of the MG andAVT heads,while the 16Ohms settingis preferrable for usewith our valveheads. Completing the series is the MC212130 Watt2 x12".

Compact Cabinets

Although allour Stereo/Mono4x12"s are perfectfor use with stereo rack systems, we alsoproducea range of smaller,Celestion-loaded2 x12" and 1x12" cabinets, ideallysuited for usewith such set-ups oras extensioncabinetsfor combos.The compact,but full sounding,1912 150Watt 1x12"can be used as anextensioncab for a 1x12"combo or withanother 1912to create a highly portable stereo rack set-up. The 19222 x12"cab has Mono or Stereo optionsand is ideal fora rack system or as an extension cabinetfor a 2 x12"combo.The larger1936, alsohas Mono/Stereooptions andis great for a larger racksystem. Itfits a fullsize Marshallhead perfectly too, givingyou a compact2 x12"stack. Whatever yourrig, withour unrivalled sound and construction techniques,Marshalloffersa wide range of cabinets that arenot only perfect for your needs. .. they willalso last you a lifetime.

Mono/Stereo Switching

Toensurethe ultimatein flexibility, sixof our standard 4x12"sare switchablebetweenMono (4 or 16 Ohms)and Stereo(8 Ohms per side). The cabsin questionare the 1960A(angled), 1960B (straight), 1960AV (angled),1960BV (straight), MC412A(angled)and MC412B(straight). The twoMono impedance options (16/4 Ohms)provideextra amp matching capabilities,while the cabinets’ stereocapability makesthem idealfor rack systems which typically runin stereo.The 1922,1936 and

MC2122x12"s alsohave a non-switchable stereooption. Due todemand, we havemade the 1936cabinetavailablewith Marshall/Celestion ‘Vintage’ 70 Wattspeakers.Named the1936V,this 2x12" cabinet hasthe same portable dimensionsas the standard 1936, whileofferingyou the option of thatwarm ‘Vintage’ speaker tone.

Nothing beats the musical roar of a British valve power

amp – and nothing roars with more tuneful power than a

Marshall.

Our expertise in making full use of the tonality offered by

valves has led to our valve-driven power amps becoming

revered by musicians the world over and as a result all

three models in our power amp range will breathe new

life back into the sound of your rack.

EL84 20/20 Valve Power Amp

For the player who wants portability coupled withgreat Marshall valvetone, we offer theEL84 20/20. Thiscompact, singlespace, rack-mountable poweramp packs 20 Watts+ 20 Watts of Marshall valvepower.Its quartet of EL84 powervalves offers impressive clean headroom, in addition to the magnificentoverdriven tones it exudes. A uniqueDeep switch bringsin state-of-the-art, resonance circuitry whichworks with the speaker cabinet(s) beingdriven and results in a tight,low-end boostwhich can’tbe mimicked via pre-amp EQ. Theunit’s Presence control and LineLevel outputsadd further to the flexibility of the EL8420/20’ssuperb naturaltone. Surprisingly loud, the fan-cooled EL84 20/20 is ideal forboth studio and livework where valve-driven, harmonicallyrich tone is a must.

EL34 50/50 & EL34 100/100 Valve Power Amp

Marshall 50 Watt and 100 Watt, EL34-driven, valve power stages are, in the minds ofmany, the ‘industry standard’. As soon as you hear our EL34 50/50 (50 Watt + 50 Watt) and EL34 100/100 (100 Watt + 100 Watt) valve power amps, you will immediately understand why. Both of these eye-catching units are packed to the brim with Marshall valve tone. Just likeexpensive hi-fi amps, both the EL34 50/50 and EL34 100/100 are Dual MonoBloc amplifiers – meaning

that each side (channel) of the stereo amplifier operates asa completely independent unit. Each channel features its own Gain and Presence controls and our highly specialised ‘True Differential Inverter’ circuitry, ensures that the maximum integrity and pureness of theirvalve toneis maintained at all times. Each channel also boasts a remotely switchable ‘Voice’ switch which takes you from‘traditional’ (Voice A) to‘modern’ (Voice B) and will allow you to cutthrough any mix. The EL3450/50 and EL34 100/100 – professional, all-valve power ampsthat sound as good as theylook!

When it comes to designing and producing valve amplification, nobodydoes it better than Marshall. Hence the logical extension to the Marshall range of valve products to include a high-powered, professional valve rig for the bass player. Valvesbring with them a unique tone, feel and response and these attributes are just as attractive to bassists as they are to guitarists. The warm, deep tone of our VBA bass rig, not only expands and enhances the sound of your bass in the live situation, it also adds a unique, 3-D quality to recordings. This stunning bass set-up has won many converts since its introduction – here’s an insight intowhat has made it so popular.

400 Watt ValveBass Amp

The Marshall name, togetherwith our famousscriptedlogo, hasalways beensynonymouswith world-class, valve-driven tone.In keepingwith thistradition, our 400Watt, all-valveVBA400 basshead is beinghailed by players andpress alikeas anothertrue classic. Designed withthe seriousbass playerin mind anddrawing fromour manyyears of valve‘tone crafting’experience, theVBA400 boasts a staggering8x6550 power valves, plus3xECC83 and1xECC82 pre-amp valves. One ofthe main thingsthat makesthis amp special is thesheer vastness of purevalve poweron tap fromthe twelve valves it houses. Consequently, we didn’twant to dilute any of thisnaturalpurity by incorporating unnecessary features and controls. Forthis very reason, onlythe essential frontpanel controls have beenincluded. Thissaid, the VBA400’s 3-bandpassiveEQ network forBass, Middle and Treblehas been designed so that it offersyou all thetonal adjustment you’ll need.Furthermore, this tone network can be totallychangedby meansof the 3-position Contourswitch whichreconfigures the mid range as follows:

Contour Position 1 – drops the lowmids and creates a rounder,fuller, fat bottom end. Contour Position 2 – boosts the mid range,giving greater edgeand aggression to your sound. Contour Position 3 – movesthe mid rangehigher thanyou would normally expect on a bassamplifier. This adds anaggressivetwang whileleavingthe essential bodyof your tone intact, making it idealfor percussive stylessuch as slapbass. Furthertone control is providedby Deep and Bright switches. Engagingthe Deep switch increases low-endthud without losing definition while the Brightoption adds extra high-end brilliance and bite to your sound. Other essential features include Active and Passive inputs, anXLR DI Output,complete with switches for Earth (ground)Lift and pre/postEQ selection, a Series FX Loop and a High/LowFan Speed switch to ensurethe valves are kept at a safe operatingtemperature. Another verypractical‘bassistfriendly’additionis a TunerMute facility which, when activated, mutesthe signalto both the loudspeakers and the DIOutput, enabling the user to tune‘silently’ in thelive situation – providing a tuner is hooked up of course!

VBC412 & VBC810 Cabinets

Speciallydesigned,heavy duty, matchingcabinetsfor the VBA400head areavailablein 4x12" and 8x10" formats. Builtas only Marshall knows how,both feature separate sealed chambers(four in the VBC810 and two inthe VBC412)which help toprevent unwantedcabinet resonance whileadding to thestructural integrityof the units. Theyare alsolined withsound absorbent wadding to furtherhelp dampeninternal resonance. Bothcabs are loaded withcustom designed loudspeakers which have beenspeciallyvoiced to handle the power of theVBA400’s outputwhile giving you superb, professional performance. Bothcabinetsoperate at 4 Ohmsimpedanceand have beendesignedto perfectlycomplement the VBA400. Asthe amplifier will accept a load of2 Ohms, combinations of thetwo cabinetscan be used to create an awesome bassrig.

Clad in Marshall’s trademark, heavyduty black vinyl,the 400 Watt VBC412 and 640 WattVBC810 each boast roadworthy, high grade fittings. The VBC810also features a recessed handle on the bottomfor easy lifting,castors and an aluminiumkick plate for easy tilt and rollcapability plusaluminium edge protectors.

Even the biggest of artists have uses for the smallest of amps and Kerry King and Zakk Wylde are no exception. Warming-up backstage, where space is precious and volume must be sacrificed, is essential for any professional guitarist wanting to nail those killer licks and destructive riffs. All that’s required is a lightweight amp with tonnes of tone and impressive looks, thats why the MG15MSZW and the brand new MG10KK fit the bill perfectly. Don’t be fooled by their diminutive size however, as these miniature Marshalls pack quite a punch. Whether you’re about to rock to a sell-out crowd of thousands or simply jamming along with your favourite tunes in your bedroom, these MG specials deliver the ideal solution!

Zakk Wylde MG15MSZW Microstack

If you’ve been longing after afull Marshall stack but space is at a premium, it maybe that your prayers have just been answered. Based on the MG15MSII Microstack, Zakk's longtime practice amplifier of choice, the Zakk WyldeMicrostack offers Marshall-size tone in a compact form sharing the unmistakable look of Zakk's trademark Marshall ‘Wall of Doom’ he uses whenever he plays live. Crammed in this incredible little amp are 2-channels (Clean and Overdrive) delivering 15 Watts of power through two1x10" speaker cabinets, one angled and one base,creating that unmistakable Marshall stack look. This mini Marshallalso features three stage equalisation, allowing complete control over your tone while the Spring Reverb creates added depth to your sound.

from the speakers is exactly mimicked when practicing quietly to yourself.

Used by thrash legend Kerry King himself to warm-up before unleashing hell with Slayer, thislittle ‘Beast’ lives up tothe expectations that come with being a member ofthe award-winning MG Series family. Styled in the same manner asthe 2203KK, Kerry’s tribal tattoo design spills over the blood red front panel which is furnished with jet black switches, jack sockets and controlknobs. Squeezed into its small frame are two channels, Clean and Overdrive, both with separate volume controls. The Overdrive channel can be cranked up thanksto the Gain control to attain truly astonishing tone while the whole soundcan be moulded to your liking with the Contour knob.
