Marshall · amplifier
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.
