100 Watt Valve Super Lead - Guitar Amp Head

Marshall - Vintage Series - 1959-SLP - 100 Watt Valve Super Lead - Guitar Amp Head

The main characteristic that this amp is its simplicity of operation and superb natural valve tone. Achieving the beautifully organic and vibrant overdrive which is their trademark, can only be done in one way - crank 'em up! The result is pure, majestic tone uncluttered by unnecessary circuitry. With solos this produces a big, round, warm, sustain, full of classic character. With chord work you get a bark and percussive attack with a natural sounding break up, which allows each note to ring out in a glorious musical crunch.

THIS IS IT! The Marshall 1959SLP 100 Watt Super Lead Plexiglas head of the late '60s/early '70s, as used by countless classic bands, re-issued in all its glory. The 1959SLP has been in production since the late sixties but with various electrical and cosmetic changes happening along the way. The models produced in the late 1960s/early 1970s however, were the ones that most tone gurus regarded as the finest examples.

After much searching Marshall managed to track down two amps from this period that were the finest they'd heard, packed with all the tone and rich velvet overdrive. They gave these two tone monsters to their guitar-playing R&D experts and left them to create a re-issue that was so authentic that they couldn't tell the difference. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams - the 1959SLP re-issue came to life!
