This All-tube, 50-watt Marshall Head is Amazingly Affordable!

Marshall's stellar MA50H 50-watt all-tube amplifier head might be priced to fit your budget, but rest assured that it's a true Marshall tube amp, inside and out! The 2-channel MA50H gives you everything from sparkling clean tones all the way to molten sustain, and its solo-friendly boost switch and Crunch Balance knob allow you to effectively add another "channel" to your onstage arsenal. You also get onboard reverb, an effects loop, and a 2-button footswitch with the massive-sounding, versatile, and affordable Marshall MA50H head!

Marshall MA50H 50-watt, 2-channel Tube Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Tweak your favorite tones with two channels (and then some)
  • Add dimension to your sound
  • Authentic Marshall tube power means authentic Marshall tone

Tweak your favorite tones with two channels (and then some)
The MA50H gives you clean and overdrive channels, each with an independent volume control and a 3-band EQ for serious tone shaping. The overdrive channel is equipped with an additional gain knob, a boost switch, and Crunch Balance knob. The gain knob adds an additional level of gain staging, providing the classic Marshall crunch sound. Engaging the boost switch delivers a mean Marshall grind for effortless soloing or powerful metal riffing. The Crunch Balance knob sets the level difference between the overdrive and boost levels, effectively yielding a three-channel sound. The MA50H includes a footswitch that allows switching between the current channel settings.

Add dimension to your sound
The Marshall MA50H head gives you presence and resonance controls in the Master section, for an extra dimension of overall tonal control with a wide range of sound shadings. A select spring reverb is built in; the depth of the reverb effect is also controlled in the Master section. From subtle to outrageous, these functions add a ton of tonal goodness to the MA50H's already amazing range of sounds!

Authentic Marshall tube power means authentic Marshall tone
Marshall tone mavens definitely won't be hurting for big tones with this head — MA50H's built to deliver! Its power amp stage features two EL34 pentode tubes; the preamp stage uses three ECC83 (or 12AX7) dual triode tubes. This tried-and-true combination gives you the authentic, heavy Marshall sound you know and love. The MA50H's rear panel has serial effects loop In and Out jacks plus 8-Ohm and 16-Ohm speaker outputs. The included footswitch also connects via the rear panel.
