Marshall Vintage Reissues Sound Exactly Like the Original!
The Marshall 1959SLP 100 Watt Super Lead Plexiglass 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, 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 no one could tell the difference. They succeeded and the 1959SLP re-issue came to life!

Marshall 1987XL Features:
  • Part of the Marshall Vintage collection
  • Mix two channels together at once for a totally unique sound
  • New series effects loop feature
  • Vintage Marshall through and through


Marshall Vintage Series
The main characteristic that these amps share is their 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.

Unique Sounds
With the Marshall 1959SLP, you can mix the two channels together by connecting a short, screened patch lead between the second input of Channel 1 and the first input of Channel 2. If you then plug your guitar into the first input of Channel 1, you can mix the different tonal characters of each channel for greater flexibility!

Uncompromised Tone - Even Through the Effects Loop
The Series Effects Loop features a true bypass switch that takes the loop completely out of the circuit, thus ensuring the original tone isn't compromised. The Level Switch allows you match the loop to either stompboxes or rack units.

Vintage Marshall Appointments
The 1959SLP has fittings and hardware as true to the originals as humanly possible, thus ensuring that authentic Marshall 'Vintage' look.

Marshall 1959SLP Features:
  • Output: 100-Watt
  • Preamp Valves: 3 x ECC83
  • Power Amp Valves: 4 x EL34
  • 3-band EQ
  • Presence
  • Dimensions: 29.5" x 12.2" x 8"
  • Weight: 45lb

A faithful reproduction of the original, which shaped the sound of the electric guitar as we know it!



Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "This is the "godfather" of Marshall tones, and this reissue is amazingly accurate. It's not just a louder version of its 50 watt little brother (1987XL)... it's woofier with more "bark". If you prefer the tones of the the late 60's guitar gods (Hendrix, Clapton, and Townsend), this is the one amp you must have. This is also the amp that Eddie Van Halen used (albiet a somewhat modified version) for his signature "brown sound" from the 80's - modern players can run everything at "10" and use a "powerbrake"-type attenuator for a similar sound."
