Marshall Handwired - Point To Point Perfection! The Handwired Series is ongoing and will feature some of the world's most sought after, vintage, all-valve Marshalls. This represents the first time Marshall has offered a handwired product in recent years. Like the originals, these new handwired amps share simplicity of operation and natural valve tone! If you demand the very best, a Handwired Series amp is for you! Marshall Handwired 1974X at a Glance: The 1974X combo amp: authentic re-issue! Sonically true with aged speakers Original components lives up to Point-to-Point Perfection! 1974X 1x12" Combo Amp The 1974X is an authentic re-issue of the fabled model 1974 combo of the late sixties (1966-1968). Just like the original, it boasts a point-to-point, handwired, tagboard circuit housed in an aluminium chassis, plus a valve-driven tremolo circuit. 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, Marshall worked extremely closely with their associates at Dagnall in order to duplicate the original, "off-the-shelf" transformers in all areas. Aged Greenback T1221 A contributing sonic factor in the original 1974 is the way the sound of the Celestion Greenback speaker softens with age. For the 1974X, Celestion revisited the recipe for the original Greenback T1221 speaker, and "aged" it. The result is a new speaker proprietary to Marshall. Point-to-Point Perfection This new series was created to meet growing public demand, and to pay homage to models that, for many players, represent the ultimate in organic, all-valve guitar tone. The primary objective was to achieve maximum authenticity in terms of components, circuitry, construction methods, materials, specifications, aesthetics, signal path, performance, tonal characteristics and feel. All of the original components and materials were used or reproduced, and the original methods of construction employed in the late 1960s were revisited. All transformers - output and power - have been meticulously re-created by Dagnall Electronics, and each amplifier's handwired tag-board lives up to the slogan, 'Point-to-Point Perfection'.

The early Marshalls were based on Fender tube amps of the day and this amp has plenty of Fender influence, more than any other Marshall that I've heard or played. Now, let me say that I also own real black faces from the sixties along with a few Fender "Vintage Reissues" such as the '65 Twin....” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "Bluesbreaker meets Vox AC30! This unique and distinctive Marshall yields the grit and punch of a Clapton-era Bluesbreaker with a pronounced Vox-y chime on the top end. The control layout (1 volume, 1 tone) couldn't be simpler yet produces a wide variety of variations from dark jazzy textures all the way through classic rock and British Invasion tones (and the tremolo sounds great). It's also frighteningly LOUD for an 18-watt combo! This is truly a chance to own a piece of rock and roll history."
