Tyler Moore has been my friend and contact for years. He set me up recently with the Gibson Les Paul Custom 1957 Blue WidowBurst and The 1959 Marshall 100 Watt HW And Slanted Cab. These All perform as written about, absolutely fantastic. Like all the great equipment Tyler has helped me with these are superb! I can't thank Tyler and SweetWater enough! Only Guitar not showing is my 1955 Les Paul which was my mother's she is the original owner. Tyler also set me up with a great Neo Twin Reverb. This is a really fantastic company they really can make your musical dreams happen!

Very pleased with this purchase. Exactly the sound I was looking for.

Couldn't be happier!! There's simply nothing like a 100 watt Marshall plugged into a 4X12 cab or two! So full sounding, even at Lower volumes with a good Overdrive pedal. It's Handwired like a vintage model, but unlike vintage amps, reissues are designed to operate on modern voltages as opposed to the lower AC voltages back in the day, so no variac required and doesn't
need anything done to it except plugging in and maybe a visit an Audiologist at some point!! Special thanks to my Sales Engineer Ty Swartz for hooking me up with what appears to be a flawless demo model!!

This is THE sound of late 60's and 70's rock. If it is good enough for Hendrix, Page, Van Halen and Angus it's good enough for me. These are almost as good as the old ones. Change out the cheap tubes to some NOS Mullards and you will be in tone heaven. These are meant to be played LOUD. You will never get that sound until you have the volume at at least 7. Forget an attenuator it kills the highs. If you have a place to play this thing it is an experience you will never forget!!!

Amp kicks but to mean!!!

The amp works perfectly. Item was purchased from eBay via sweetwater's used store .
Item was better then pictured

I love this head, I am the second owner of this amp. The only disadvantage of this amp is its weight. Its simply amazing, I have searched my entire life to own this amp.

I have a early 90s reissue..Can not believe the money for this one!!No doubt its a great amp but im not convinced maybe very rich little spoiled brats that have to have this to be Jimmy Page and have no clue how to use it??Thats how I got mine..Kid said He thought He would sound like Jimmy but didnt and wanted something different..I was more than happy to solve his problem!!!

LOUD and beautify sounding. This amp HAS to be cranked to appreciate the yonal heaven it spews.

I've owned mine since 2000....The 1959 SLP I have has no effects loop and used PCB not a point to point hand-wired version which the guys at Marshall have made it clear, they both sound identical and no one can tell the difference if they are played side by side....

In the 19 years I've had mine I have also owned several other copy cloned 1959 SLP amps all of those Made in China...All of the copies have had issues with reliability and are long gone now...Imagine three amps lasting me 19 years and this one amp still used regularly is still working perfectly.

The quality build put into a Marshall 1959 SLP explains why these amps remain faithful all these years...

The only thing that I've done to it was I swapped the tubes when they got a little too saggy to my ears...I have had to replace the 1.5 amp bus fuse on the back a couple times in 19 years when I was guilty of cranking my amp using layering overdrive and distortion pedals in the front...The only reason I still have any hearing (somewhat) is that I've used an attenuator most of the time when I crank my 100 watt amps to get that crunchy fat tone only achieve by cranking the valves.

I've owned a bunch of Marshall heads over the years, mostly 50 watt versions but I've also owned a couple other 2203 JCM and a LEAD Master Volume 100 watt heads too and all sound different.

The 1959 SLP is a beast without an attenuator but if you want to actually feel your chest pumped by an amp this is the amp that will do it....As loud as it can get and it get's loud very quickly, this amp stays tight and articulate even at higher volumes what happens is after a certain level a light crunch happens and sustain....

I don't have to say how great of an amp this is all you have to do is own one and if your desiring a little more gain than this one produces just add an overdrive pedal to get that sustain that rings for ever.

Just remember this amp was the amp that put Marshal in the History books...The go to amp when the musicians needed a Marshall with nads. All the greatest musicians I've loved used it...

best amp made,period I have a afd100sce and a silver jub 2555 and a older jcm 800 this amp blows them all away. add a rivera rockcrusher with a ts-808 and your there man.

It a Ok amp nothing like any of the early models jmp or even jcm 800's.
what I mean is the volume has been neutered its really smooth more tolerable at lower levels sound more like a fender with fuller sound. I did not like it so I hade all the capacitors changed to sozo hand wound and the tone stack side to carbon comp resistors it was and improvement but still not there. I spent the money and put nos mustard capacitors it just like the vintage marshall have and now we are starting to get somewhere. I also put the 330uf electrolytic capacitor.The amp has very beautiful clean tone and crunch saturates around 6.5 on volume. I had to remove the .68 capacitor on v2 to much gain and lesson the clean tone. Try it before you buy because you will probly have to mod it to get the vintage tone that your looking for. I prefer a clean amp and pedals for overdrive but that's just me. I picked mine up used so I could afford to do a little upgrades on it.
