The Marshall 1959JMH is a limited-edition hand-wired version of the 1959 Super Lead 100-watt Plexi, built to vintage specification with point-to-point wiring and EL34 power valves. Like the original Super Lead, it has no master volume, so its big, open cleans turn to rich, saturated crunch only when the power section is driven hard. Four inputs and two jumperable channels deliver the classic British stack voicing heard across late-1960s and 1970s rock.
The Marshall 1959T Super Tremolo is a 100-watt plexi-era head built on the same core Super Lead circuit as Marshall's most famous vintage amps, distinguished by an added built-in tremolo circuit most 1959-series amps didn't carry. Mike McCready of Pearl Jam has used two 1969 examples as part of his dirty-amp rotation since the Vitalogy era, though notably with the tremolo circuit disconnected by his longtime tech Sal Trentino, using the amp purely for its raw plexi drive rather than its onboard modulation. Slash has also drawn on the model within his broader collection of vintage Marshalls, part of the same family of late-60s plexi heads that shaped his signature Guns N' Roses-era lead tone.
