The GREATEST Marshall Amp Ever Made!

  • This one gets my pick for Marshall's MASTERPIECE guitar amplifier. This example has had a giant HOLE drilled in the side of the cabinet for a 120V fan. The owner is complaining of a strange sound like a blown speaker. We'll see if we can duplicate that problem and give this one a full service and repair.

    I have this exact amp in fawn tolex. I bought it from an older lady who had bought it for her son when he was 18 years old. He passed away about 10 years ago and she sold it to me. It literally looks brand new. He played it at church, believe that, or not. It has the original Marshall 4X12. It is all original including the speakers in the cab. No mods. It is a fire breather.

      I cannot believe I traded my 100 stack for a Les Paul Standard and some ca$h at Sol Betnum's (Anyone remember that HOUSE with its rooms filled with used music equipment?). But I was never able to play the thing anywhere besides my parent's home without the LAPD or US Marshal showing up within 30 minutes. No exaggeration. They once said, "We followed the sound for a mile to find you" I was using it outside, at my high school. Filled my mom's entire VW Squareback! Even had to scoot the driver's seat forward so I could close the back!

    In 1983 I bought one of these in a twin combo form in fawn color tolex(pretty rare). It was a 1977 model also. I paid $400 for it used for at Deitze music house in Lincoln, NE. I rocked it using a Tom Sholz power soak and we played 4 nights a week for 7 years. It never missed a lick, such a great amp it was. My biggest gigs were opening for the band Head East, also got to open for comedian Joe Piscopo, and the biggest was opening for Billy Squier at a outdoor Festival. Anyway I love this amp too. I sold it to my cousin around 1992 and he still has it today! I want it back, but he wont sell it. Nice job with this amp and also your playing on this one was awesome! Thanks Brad and take care!

    I really enjoyed this video! I have two 1979 100-watt JMPs with the 6550s and it is hands down my favorite. I think I fell in love with these heads in my early 20s when it was the first Marshall I was able to buy (used). Mine are both modded with an effects loop and some preamp tweaks so I’ve probably hurt the collectibility, but so be it. You’ll pry my two JMPs from my cold dead hands! I would love to learn how to bias my amp some day.
