Due to public demand, in the Summer of 2004 we will start offering authentic, handwired re-issues of some of our most respected and sought-after amplifiers. We are launching this exciting series with two heads, a combo and four, hand-soldered extension cabinets.

The first units chosen for handwire re-issue are amongst the most recorded amplifiers ever made and for many artists represent the ultimate in guitar tone. During development these amplifiers have received unparalleled attention from 'artists in the know'. The Marshall team of designers has gone to enormous lengths to seek out and/or reproduce all of the original components and materials used, as well as revisiting the original methods of construction employed in the 1960s and '70s. Production techniques at Marshall factory have been honed and in particular the handwired matrix boards can truly boast the tag 'point-to-point perfection'. Their primary objective has been to achieve maximum authenticity in terms of components, circuitry, constructional methods, materials, specifications, aesthetics, signal path, performance, tonal characteristics and feel. The engineers were delighted to say that their suppliers were equally as exacting in their tasks - none more so than Dagnall Transformers and Celestion Speakers. The main characteristic that all these amps share is their simplicity of operation and superb natural valve tone. Achieving the beautifully organic and vibrant tone, which is the trademark of these models, can only be done in one way - crank 'em up! The result is sweetly distorted, harmonically rich, thick, musical tones resulting from the power valves being overdriven.

1974X
The 1974X is a Class-A, all-valve, 18 Watt, two-channel, 1x12" combo with valve driven tremolo. The original versions of this wonderful sounding amplifier were produced between the years 1966 and 1968 and are now extremely rare and much sought after. The 1974X is an extremely straightforward amplifier. Channel 1 (the non-tremolo channel) only boasts two, self-explanatory controls: Volume and Tone; while Channel 2, the Tremolo Channel, boasts four - namely Volume and Tone, plus Speed and Intensity for the valve driven tremolo circuit. Our proprietary, re-issued and 'aged' 20 Watt Celestion speaker also contributes to the combo's unique, punchy yet smooth sound. As a result, when 'cranked' the 1974X is incredibly touch sensitive, cleaning up or, if desired, sitting right on the edge of distortion when the guitar's volume is turned down. It responds well to picking dynamics too, 'sagging' nicely when you play like you really mean it and, once again, cleaning up as you pull back on your picking attack.

1974CX
The 1974CX is a 1x12", 20 Watt, extension speaker cabinet designed for use with the 1974X combo, using the same proprietary 'aged' Celestion speaker as the combo. The speaker is handwired to the mono jack connector using heavy grade wire and the cabinet is built to our traditional high standards. It is a perfect match sonically and cosmetically.

2061X
The 2061X is a Class-A, cathode-biased, all-valve, 20 Watt, two-channel head. Originally produced between the years 1967 and 1973 these toneful amplifiers are now highly collectable. The 2061X's front panel layout is simple yet versatile, with both of its channels having only a Volume and Tone control each. Like all Marshall, all-valve amplifiers, the 2061X sounds at its very best when turned up full - and because of its relatively low wattage this can be done at ear friendly volumes, making it a wonderful recording tool. Unlike its 18 Watt predecessors which boasted an EZ81 rectifier, the 2061X features a solid-state, silicon diode rectifying device and is a much more aggressive and surprisingly modern sounding amplifier, while still possessing that unmistakable and highly desirable, low-wattage, vintage, all valve tone.

2061CX
The 2061CX is a 2x12", 60 Watt, extension speaker cabinet designed for use with the 2061X head. The two Celestion G12H-30 speakers deliver warmth and full vintage tone. The speakers are handwired to the mono jack connector using heavy grade wire and the large sized cabinet is built to our traditional high standards. Used in conjunction with the 2061X 20W head, the sound is amongst the richest and complex in the whole Marshall catalogue.
