This is a limited time offer so please act quickly! Marshall 1959HW Overview Historical, Tone and Tech Talk The 1959HW is a Class AB, all valve, 100 Watt, two channel head. When building this handwired re issue of an amazing sounding, original Plexi head made in 1969, our goal was both obvious and simple to make it as close to the original as possible in terms of components, circuitry, constructional methods, materials, specifications, aesthetics, signal path, performance, tonal characteristics and feel. We went to incredible lengths to achieve maximum authenticity and are delighted to report that our suppliers were equally as exacting in their tasks none more so than our long time partner, Dagnall Transformers. As is now rock folklore, the 1959 came to be when The Whos guitarist, Pete Townshend, approached Marshall in the mid 60s and asked Jim to build him a weapon that would allow him to play so loud that he wouldnt be able to hear what the members of the audience were saying, should they have the sheer audacity to talk whilst he was performing! Jim and his team obliged and within weeks of Petes request one of rocks most instantly recognisable icons was born the 100 Watt Marshall stack. As Jim Marshall has already stated, the 1959 head first saw the light of day in late 1965 and was affectionately dubbed the Plexi because of the material used for its front panel. Although we continued to build 1959s, the now legendary Plexi era came to an end in July 1969 when we started using gold anodised aluminium panels instead of Plexiglas.

The circuit we have revisited for the 1959HW boasts several of said tonally significant variants when compared to the slightly later circuit we use for our critically acclaimed, standard production Plexi re issue the 1959SLP. The most sonically relevant technical departures in question lie in the negative feedback circuit. Where relevant, specific details concerning these deviations, and others, are inserted into the text labelled as Tonal Notes. As you can see from its front panel layout, the 1959HW is an extremely straightforward amplifier. Its two channels Channel I and Channel II each have two inputs High and Low sensitivity and separate Volume controls, while sharing the amplifiers four tone controls Presence, Bass, Middle and Treble. Like all Marshall, all valve amplifiers, the 1959 sounds at its very best when turned up full and because of its conservative power rating and astonishing projection, is a formidable live amplifier in even the largest of venues. A truth its impressive history has proven time and time again, from the mid
