Reissue of the Iconic JTM45 "Plexi"

The Marshall JTM45 tube amplifier head is widely considered to be the definitive '60s Marshall. With 30-watts of power channeled from an all-tube signal path, you'll command the legendary guitar tones of '60s rock legends. The JTM45's sonic sweetness comes courtesy of a GZ34 tube rectifier, which imparts the natural sustain and compression the JTM45 is famed for. Simply put, you'll love how it sounds - and feels - to play through the Marshal JTM45 tube amplifier head.

Marshall JTM45 Tube Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Your guitar will sing
  • Vintage reissue
  • Low wattage - for a vintage Marshall

Your guitar will sing
If vintage blues and rock tones are what you crave, you'll love the Marshall JTM45. This isn't a high-gain amp for metal, nor is it a programmable, multi-channel monster. This is the guitar tone that shaped the sound of '60s blues and rock, from sweet and smooth clean tones to overdriven, growling dirt. One channel and basic tone controls are all that's needed for iconic tone. And if you need to push the JTM45 to the limit, just put your favorite gain boost pedal in front of it and listen to your guitar sing.

Vintage reissue
Part of Marshall's Vintage Series, the JTM45 amp head is an exact recreation of the legendary amp from the '60s. Also known as the 2245, the JTM45 packs three ECC83 preamp tubes and a pair of 5881 power tubes for incredible tonal prowess. You also get the revered GZ34 tube rectifier, which is responsible for the JTM45's smooth, singing quality.

Low wattage - for a vintage Marshall
The JTM45 only uses 30 watts of power to create its epic tones. That's pretty low power when you consider Marshall's other models at the time. But 30 watts is perfect for live use in small to medium sized venues, and it's ideal for recording. You can get the sound of a fully-pegged tube amp at a much more reasonable volume level, reducing mic bleed in your studio and your on-stage volume when gigging out.

Marshall JTM45 Tube Amplifier Head Features:
  • Accurate reissue of the legendary JTM45 amplifier, a '60s rock legend
  • 30 watts of power, perfect for gigging and recording
  • GZ34 tube rectifier adds natural, smooth compression and sustain to your tone
  • Sounds great with gain boost pedal in front of it
  • Straightforward control set is all you need to craft a range of vintage '60s guitar tones

Take control of the iconic tones of rock's revolutionary days, with the Marshall JTM45 tube amplifier head!

THE Marshall Amp

by Marc from Baltimore Md.

Music Background: Experienced player and devoted listener
My rating had to be a 5 "wow blown away" ..how could it not? The JTM45 is the amp Hendrix used, and Peter Green, and BB KING. Do you want to know what the JTM45 sounds like? Listen to Hendrix at the M... read more [+]onterey Pop Festival, or Peter Green Playing '"The Stumble" live in 1967 with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, or to John Til, of Big Brother and the Holding Company backing Janis Joplin at Woodstock.. What could I possibly say about this amp to add anything to that?. I hope Marshall goes right on Making them. If they ever stop then it would be like fender replacing the Twin Reverb with a software program..then we would know even the memory of rock n roll is dead. close [-]

Music Background: Getting paid to do what I love
I have to say this amp sings! Play a strat through it and get that classic strat tone that is round, full, and chewy! Play a tele through it and it barks and bites but always maintains the body you ... read more [+]want playing at this volume! I have an Orange AD30 single CHannel head that may be louder and may be fuzzier...but it does not have the charm of this amp. The JTM is the amp man. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is due to the fact that a hand built hand wired amp deserves 5 stars when it cost over 1,300. Play anything through a JTM45 pushing greenbacks and if it doesn't make you tingle a bit, you are either not doing it right or you have no soul. close [-]
