Legendary Marshall Muscle!

Nothing personifies the image of rock 'n' roll more completely than a wall of Marshall stacks. Though often imitated, nothing compares to the original. The 1960A is the angled version that features four G12T-75 speakers and is the perfect addition to your stage or recording rig! It's ideal for players who appreciate clarity and quality.

Marshall 1960A at a Glance:
  • The ultimate in flexibility
  • Clear and true
  • Slightly brighter sound than a straight cab
  • Sonically superior
  • Rugged and ready for the road

The ultimate in flexibility
To ensure the ultimate in flexibility, the 1960A is switchable between mono (4 or 16 ohms) and stereo (8 ohms per side). The two mono impedance options provide extra amp matching capability while the cabinet's stereo capability makes it ideal for rack systems which typically run in stereo.

Clear and true
The 1960A produces a loud, well-focused, and uncluttered sound with a tight, full low end and a crisp, clear top. It projects well across the guitar's entire tonal range and its clarity makes it ideal for players who like using a fair amount of effects such as reverb, chorus, or delay as it doesn't mask or muddy-up such FX. Its all-around versatility and relatively uncolored nature makes this one of Marshall's best-selling cabs. It represents the sound of the guitar and head most accurately.

The Marshall 1960 cabinets are the best selling amp cabinets in the world. They are standard on stages everywhere for their sound and rugged construction. While not complicated electronically, the effects of their materials, construction, and speakers make the 1960s the choice of players everywhere and have made them the industry standard to this day.

Slightly brighter sound than a straight cab
1960A (angled) cabinets came about because Jim Marshall felt a head on a straight front cab just didn't look designed. The sides and baffle of the cabinet feature an angled cut. This has both a cosmetic impact and a sonic one, because the top two 12" speakers angle slightly upwards. It has more sonic or dispersion and is a little brighter-sounding than a straight cabinet.

Sonically superior
Marshall is the only choice for serious musicians. Nothing compares to Marshall cabinets in terms of awesome tone and projection. Both visually and aurally, Marshall 4 x 12" cabs are indeed rock 'n' roll history in a stack!

Rugged and ready for the road
Roadworthiness is a vital prerequisite in the world of relentless touring. Luckily, as Marshall's 40 years of cabinet building attest, Marshall cabinets are definitely built to stand the test of time! Their highly skilled craftsmen construct these 4 x 12"'s from the finest materials available - 15mm birch plywood with precision comb joints, cotton-backed PVC covering, heavy-duty hardware, and the highest quality fittings. Weighing in at around 80 lbs., the JCM1960A is made of 15mm birch plywood (except for the back panel, which is medium density fiberboard) and built for tone, projection, and durability. The majority of cabinet construction is done by hand.

Marshall 1960A Features:
  • 300-watt, 4 x 12" angled cabinet
  • 4/16-ohm mono or 8-ohm stereo
  • 4 x 75-watt G12T-75 speakers
  • Black grille cloth and white piping
  • Large white logo
  • Black elephant grain vinyl
Marshall offers a wide range of cabinets that are not only perfect for your needs, but they will also last you a lifetime!

It's a beast

The cabinet is great. It arrived in perfect condition.
However the box showed that there were supposed to be some casters for the cab.
But they were not in there.
It is totally awesome.

Outstanding SQ

1st Marshall cabinet and last. I couldn't see getting another cab when the SQ of this one is so good. Does what it was designed to do and then some. Maybe a little too much for my house but i had to get it.
Rated 5/5

Am AWESOME, ROCK SOLID CAB!

I'm so very impressed with the sound on this. As stated by manufacturer, it has a nice, designed appeal to the eye BUT the BRIGHTER, ANGLED SOUND is sonically MORE CLARITY AND PUNCH!! THIS Cab comes through for the power player wants to be able to hear the diversity of every note and power cord! I have never played more versatily with a single piece of sound gear. I'm using mine with the recommended head unit and it just has so many amazing things for my playing and my sound. I mean if you know how to use your Amp and can dial it in, the nuances are totally respected by this Cabinet! If you are a single volume and tone knob guy, you will really like the way every little thump and note resonate through all of your different little settings. You will really be able to hear all those variances available on your paf pickups more than ever! I play everything from Jazz to heavy metal to hardcore and this cabinet sounds amazing for any genre I throw at it! That clear buzzy thumpy metal sound that chugs? More than plenty of that here if you want it as well. Speakers are great!!

1960 A cabinet

What can I say? It"s a Marshall anyone who has been out there will already know the sound, quality , and reputation
I"m using it with a JVM 205 50 watt head and it put"s a smile on my face everytime I turn it on.
If you want to rock, get a Marshall.

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Ryan Sloan

A guitar rig can change over time, but the cabinet you play out of doesn't always need to. That statement couldn't be more true with a Marshall 1960 cab. If you're playing rhythm it's going to give you a full and deep sound. If you're playing a lead it's capable of giving you that special growl that jumps out in a mix. My rig has changed over the years countless times, but the 1960A will always be a part of it.

There are countless "British"-style guitar amplifiers out there, but take it from the lifelong guitarists and tone connoisseurs at Sweetwater, when it comes to Marshall tone, there's nothing like the real thing. We've played them all, from vintage JTM45s and the ultra-cool Plexi reissue to modern handmade masterpieces such as the JVM410. There isn't a model among them we can't recommend with total confidence, and that includes their more affordable models too, like MG, DSL, and Code series amps. Thanks to our tight relationship with Marshall, Sweetwater's always on the cutting edge of their latest designs, custom models, and limited-edition gems. If you want iconic tone from across the pond, you want Marshall, and your Sweetwater Sales Engineer will help you find the perfect one.
