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

astounding.This trulyis the evolution of guitar
amplification.

Versatile,Revolutionary, Unrivalled

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!

The timeless tone of vintage handwired, all-valveMarshall
amplifiers havemade them highlydesirable to collectors
and sonic connoisseurs alike. Dueto overwhelming public
demand we are proud to introduce meticulous, handwired
re-issuesof three of our most sought-after amplifiers as the
first products in our new Handwired Series – a Series that
celebrates the company’s rich tonal heritage and revisits
the handcrafted traditions and skills that first launched the
Marshall legend.

1959HWHead & 1960AHW/BHW Cabinets

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.

14 MarshallAmplificationProductCatalogue

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.

(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

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 Master Volume control on your valveamp makesit sound good at
low volume, butALL, all-valve ampssound better cranked. Thisis a
scientificfact of life.Plus, whatdo you do if your ampdoesn’t havea
Master Volume? The MarshallPB100 PowerBrake power attenuatoris
the answer.
Thereare otherattenuators or loadboxes available,but they don’t
provide the right typeof inductiveload thatmakes youramp think it’s
connectedto a speaker. At best,these otherdevicescause youramp to
soundthin and feeble. At worst, theycan blow youramp’soutput
transformer– an expensive proposition. The Power Brakepower
