Hardly any other amplifier has shaped the guitar sound of rock history as much as the Marshall 1959 Super Lead. The iconic Plexi sound was used by legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and The Who and lives on in this amp to this day. With the new and modified version, Marshall is bringing this classic back - with real tubes, hand-wired production in England and new features that make it even more versatile. The sound of the original is retained: transparent crunch, dynamic feel, organic response - exactly what the Plexi has been loved for decades. But with the master volume control, the typical gain behaviour can now also be experienced at a moderate volume. In addition, the 1959 Modified offers two overdrive modes with which the classic Plexi sound can be taken into new saturation ranges - ideal for modern blues, powerful rock or thick metal sounds. The Bright switch allows further tonal adjustments to achieve a more transparent image of the treble frequencies, depending on the behaviour of the speaker cabinet.
Like its role model, the and Modified 1959 Super Lead relies on powerful tubes with three ECC83s in the preamp stage (incl. phase splitter) and four EL34s in the power amp stage, which together deliver 100 watts of power. The two channels share an EQ section with controls for bass, mids, treble and presence, but can be creatively combined and adjusted to taste, just like the original. The processing is carried out by hand at the Marshall headquarters in Bletchley, UK- with the aim of seamlessly combining tradition and innovation. Whether you are looking for the raw character of the late 60s or want to integrate the Plexi into your modern sound: the and Modified 1959 Super Lead delivers the sound, feel and flexibility that you would expect from a Marshall in this class - a real tool for guitarists with high standards.
