Sound Pure's Take
Right off the bat the clean channel of this amp really struck a chord with me. It is tight and responsive with really pure and authentic tone. Clicking on the gain channel immediately brings the crunch and brings it hard. This channel would be great for raking out anything from some AC/DC style chordal work, to the kinds of tones you might expect from a serial hard rock rhythm player. The independent EQ'S for the two channels allow for easy switching between a great clean tone to arpeggiate a verse and a crunchy rhythmic powerhouse to hit a chorus. Think of the transition between the sections in Sweet Childe Of Mine. As a lead amp, this guy will have no trouble either. Check this baby out if you are looking for some classic Marshall power!
Condition: Very Good. Light Aging and one of the rubber feet has been repaired.
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
Marshall Amplification has been inextricably linked with valve amplification since our very beginning in 1962. Products such as the original Bluesbreaker combos, JTM 45 and Super-Lead heads were all destined to be, and have become, classics in their own right. All of these special Marshalls produced their magical tone by driving the guitar through an all valve pre-amp into a pure valve power-amp. The JTM series carry on this grand tradition but meet the demands of contemporary guitarists by providing features such as channel switching, reverb, effects loop and speaker emulated output.
