Marshall Artist

Best valves for Marshall Artiste 2040 amplifiers.

Valves for Marshall Artist 2040.

The Marshall Artist amplifier uses 3 x ECC83 (also called 12AX7) preamp valves, 1 x balanced ECC83 for the phase splitter position (V4) and 2 x EL34 matched power valves.

Over time your valves will lose their tone and their power. A brand new set of valves will get your amp sounding like new again.

We always recommend JJ valves for the Marshall Artist (or “Artiste” as they later stamped on the plate) amplifier. This is because they guarantee you get awesome tone and long life and they don’t cost a fortune.

Remember, JJ is one of only five manufacturers of valves in the world. So don’t pay higher prices for valves from the same factory that have simply been rebranded by other companies.

About the amp:

This amp was produced between 1971 and 1978. It is a 50 watt 2 x 12 combo and is considered by many to be Marshall’s answer to the Fender Twin Reverb. Built to last but still quite a rare and collectable amp these days.
