Marshall 1974X Handwired 18W 1x12 Combo AmpMarshall 1974X Combo Amp
Handwired...Point to Point Perfection!At the very heart of its simple, but effective, two channel design can be found six valves: three ECC83s in the preamp, an EZ81 rectifier and a pair of cathode biased EL84s in the power stage. As the output and mains transformers are vital components in any amplifier as they influence performance, sound and feel, we worked extremely closely with our associates at Dagnall in order to duplicate the original, "off-the-shelf" transformers in all areas.
Another major contributing factor to the distinctive sound of vintage 1974 combos is the way the original 20 Watt, ceramic magnet, Celestion Greenback T1221 loudspeaker's tone has softened with age. In order to recreate the gorgeously smooth tones of a 35-year-old vintage Greenback, Celestion not only revisited the 1967 recipe for the speaker, they also came up with a proprietary way of "aging" the speakers so they sound and feel like the originals made in the late '60s!

I love this amp it is very ear friendly being the sweet spot is about 8 and I rock out in my home my neighbor Harvey can hear me in his driveway so I guess the amp is loud enough I know I can use it in a live room I guess I'm trying to say it's not a loud amp but it's perfect, as for the sound I can't say enough it sounds like all those 70's lp's bad company, ac/dc (my favorite band) Clapton etc., IÆve owned a Peavey 50 watt classic and still own a Gibson Goldtone Ga 5 the peavey needs to be LOUD to get that edge and the Ga 5 sounds great at all levels but doesn't compare to the Marshall this amp has the sound I've been looking for I'm very happy ecstatic to say the least I have to tell you I've read some really negative reviews on this amp all the same complaints about the transformers blowing out and not being a reliable or trustworthy. I have not had this problem as of yet and hope for the best. Anyway, this amp kills and can be used for jamming with your band and an excellent recording amp good luck.
