Marshall Studio Vintage SV20H Head White Levant
Marshall · amplifier
The Marshall Studio Vintage SV20H in White Levant covering is a finish variant of the 20-watt Plexi-based head, built on the 1959SLP Super Lead circuit, the four-input, two-channel, non-master-volume design behind much of classic rock. The circuit is identical to the standard SV20H: the same rounder, bluesier Plexi crunch at 20 watts, switchable to 5, with the character coming from driving the output section rather than a master volume. Levant covering variants are cosmetic runs rather than circuit changes. It suits classic rock and blues rock players who want authentic Plexi tone in a less common finish.
