Marshall 1960a And 1960b Full Stack

Marshall · cabinet

Eric Johnson runs a Marshall 1960A angled and 1960B straight 4x12 cabinet pair as part of his full stack, a combination Marshall itself began officially recommending around 1971-72 as the standard configuration beneath its 100-watt 1959 head, a setup that became the blueprint for countless rock stages afterward. The only real difference between the two cabinets is the front baffle angle: the 1960A's tilted front gives greater onstage projection, especially valuable in larger venues, while the 1960B's straight front behaves slightly differently in the room. Johnson, known for meticulous attention to every element of his tone from strings to cable length, pairs this stack with his vintage Marshall heads as one part of a rig built around layering distinct amps for his signature clean, overdrive, and singing sustain tones.
