About this Marshall amp.
The original Marshall model 1961 combo came into being following a request by Eric Clapton to Jim Marshall for an amp that would fit in the boot of his car. With this amp and a 1960 Gibson Les Paul, Eric walked into Decca Studios in March 1966 and … you know the rest. This amp was henceforth known as the ‘Bluesbreaker’.
Essentially this limited edition is a JTM45 built into a cabinet and was available in either a 4×10 or 2×12 layout. At only 35 watts and built into an open-backed cabinet, the amp could be turned up louder to achieve the overdriven sound that it was to become famous for.
In 1997, for the 35th Anniversary of the amp, just 250 were produced in white Tolex.
Various power valves have been used in these amps so just check yours has EL34 valves before you order. It is quite common to see 6L6GC valves in those amps shipped overseas.
