Marshall 2245 JTM45 MK II Reissue 2-Channel 30-Watt

Marshall · amplifier

The Marshall 2245 JTM45 is a faithful reissue of Marshall's first amplifier, a roughly 30-watt head built around a KT66 power section that gives it a warmer, tweed-influenced character distinct from later EL34 Plexis. It delivers smooth, bluesy breakup, rich harmonics, and a slightly loose vintage feel through its classic four-input panel. The warm cleans and creamy overdrive made the original a foundation of 1960s British blues-rock.
