A replica of the hard to find, 1966 Marshall™ 18 watt lead combo
amplifier with two channels (4 inputs) with a tremolo unit operating
on channel two. You can order this amp with an optional rectifier switch
it allows you to switch between the tube rectifier and a solid state
diode rectifier.
The 18 watt is for the player who needs vintage tone and reliability in
a amp that every sound
man will thank you for.
If you desire an amp
with great touch sensitivity, sweet even-order harmonics and outstanding
dynamic range in a combo or head this amp is for you. |

Hi Chuck, not that you need
anymore endorsements or testimonials but after 2 months with the 18
watt (1-12) combo you custom built for me, I must say it's an
addictive piece of gear! The more I play it, the more I want to play
it!! It amazing that such a simple design in an amp can provide the
tone it does. At lower volumes you get the chime and just a little bit
of grit but with clarity, articulation, and even balance across all
strings. But the fun really begins getting this up between 5 and 6 on
the Master Volume with the Volume dimmed. It still retains all the
aforementioned qualities but now it fills in with that Marshall (Old
Marshall amp that is) crunch, balls, and sustain. And at first I
thought the 18 watts may not be enough, but it is a loud 18 watts and
perfect for my particular needs. There is just something about this
18w design that sounds sweeter than any of the amps I have had, and
that covers about 40 years and who know's how many amps. Keep in mind
that in the past I have had numerous 18 watt combo's to include the
Marshall 1974x reissue, GDS, Reinhardt, BlockHead First Born, Bacino,
Ceriatone etc. etc. All are good amps but the Retro-King has the magic
dust. My gear acquisition syndrome has reached an end finally! That is
until I order one of your JTM45's. Keep up the great work and thanks
for building such a fine amp.
Best Regards,
Scott from Ohio
