Here we have a classic piece of Marshall amp history, in the shape of this lovely 1966 JTM-45 MK ll. The JTM45 was the first Marshall amplifier and essentially remains as the be-all end-all for collectors and tone-crazed guitar slingers alike. The highly sought-after Marshall JTM45 MK II amplifiers rocked the world when they were introduced in 1963 after a short run of garage-built prototypes. Electronically, these early Marshalls are basically clones of the 1959 Fender Bassman amp, but the use of different preamp (ECC83) and power amp (5881 or KT66) tubes in the JTM45 gave them a raucous, present voice all their own. Compare prices on this legendary first run of Marshall amps on Reverb and bring home a piece of history.
This old bird really sings, giving all the classic vintage Marshall tones that you would want.
She has been fully serviced by our engineer and any age-related problems have been rectified, all electrolytic caps in the amps power supply and bias circuit were changed, the first stage cathode resistor bypass cap was changed. We changed the 15K resistor in the bias circuit, added a 1K 5w resistor to the screen circuit that was missing. All chassis grounds were cleaned and made good. Valve sockets were cleaned and re-tensioned. Bulgin mains connector replaced. One output jack socket replaced,new mains switch, new output valves and a new valve rectifier, new fuses, any missing screws and board mounts replaced. Chassis cleaned and pots all cleaned.
This is a rare opportunity to get your hands on what is now a rare bird and in great condition. She is ideally for collection only, but would consider shipping, dependant on the destination!
