About This Amp
Marshall 1959 Modified 100-Watt Amplifier Head
The Marshall 1959 Modified 100-Watt Amplifier Head pays homage to one of the most influential amps in rock history while incorporating modern updates that enhance flexibility and tonal control. Inspired by decades of amp modification culture, this reimagined 1959 stays true to its unmistakable voice — the sound that defined generations of guitarists — while expanding its range to meet the demands of today’s players.
Built around a classic all-valve design, this head delivers the unmistakable roar of four EL34 power tubes and three ECC83 preamp valves, delivering harmonically rich overdrive and crystalline cleans. Two independent channels share a common EQ section, providing versatility and a wide range of tonal textures — from bright and biting lead tones to thick, punchy rhythm sounds. Modern refinements such as selectable 16Ω / 8Ω / 4Ω outputs make it compatible with a variety of speaker configurations, while its road-ready construction ensures it’s just as reliable on stage as it is in the studio.
