The output and mains transformers are vital components in an amplifier
as they influence performance, sound and feel. Consequently, we worked
extremely closely with Dagnall in order to duplicate the originals in all
areas.To do this we painstakingly studied and analysed the constructional
methods and materials used in the original devices so we could match
everything as closely as possible and also ensure that the all-important
electrical characteristics and performance were identical. With Dagnall’s
expertise and dedication, we’ve done exactly that.
“In these very simple, almost organic designs, it’s the valves and transformers
which count and both amps are superb in this respect. Even at full tilt every detail
of the guitar’s character can be heard with stunning clarity.”*
Each and every valve used is subjected to rigorous grading/testing
procedures, and all other components are sourced from European and
American manufacturers.
head made in 1969 (pre July).To many players and pundits, the 100 Watt
‘Plexi’ is the amp that defines“the sound of rock” and,to this day,is still the
standard by which all others are judged. Consequently, 1959s from the
so-called ‘Plexi-era’ are considered the Holy Grail of tone by a veritable
army of voracious vintage collectors and guitar aficionados. The glorious
sounds and all-important feel of the 1959HW instantly explains what all the
fuss is about and is already a ‘must-have’ item for those obsessed with the
quest for the perfect tone – especially when paired up with the 1960AHW
and 1960BHW cabinets as the resulting partnership truly is a marriage
made in tonal heaven!
Words are one thing but the only true way to appreciate these
handsome, hand-crafted amplifiers is to see them in the flesh and, better
still, experience their sonic majesty by actually playing one. Visit your

perfection.
1974X 18Watt Combo
This eye-catching, two-channel, 18Watt, 1x12” combo houses 3 x ECC83
(aka 12AX7) valves in its preamp, an EZ81 rectifier valve and a pair of
cathode-biased EL84s in its power section. One of the ECC83 trio drives
the second channel’s footswitchableTremolo circuit.The 1974X’s chassis is
made from aluminium and its front panel is Plexiglas, exactly like the
original.
“. . . it’s literally plug in and turn up for some of the best vintage rock and
blues sounds you’ll ever hear.It’s real classic Marshall stuff,with all the warmth
that vintage amp lovers crave.”*
“...we were blown away by the rich depth and biting attack that exploded from
the specially-aged Celestion Greenback loudspeakers of the 1974X and 1974CX
extension cab.”*

A contributing factor to the coveted sound of the vintage 1974 is the
way the original 20 Watt, Celestion Greenback loudspeaker’s tone softens
with age. To recreate the gorgeously smooth sounds of a 35-year-old
Greenback Celestion did two things at our request. Firstly, they revisited
the 1967 recipe for the original T1221

2061X 20Watt ‘Lead & Bass 20’ Head
This twin-channel, all-valve beauty houses 2 x ECC83 valves in its preamp
and a pair of cathode-biased EL84s in its power stage. The 2061X is an
aggressive and surprisingly modern sounding amplifier, while still possessing
that unmistakable and highly desirable, vintage all-valve tone. Its gold,
brushed anodized aluminium front panel and box-section, 16-gauge mild
steel chassis are exactly as our original reference units.The 2x12” 2061CX
cabinet compliments the 2061X head perfectly, both sonically and visually.
speaker and meticulously duplicated
every critical parameter. Secondly, they
came up with a proprietary way of
“aging” the speakers by matching the
magnetic flux to that of our vintage
references and specially manufacturing
the cone material to be more ‘pulpy’,
recreating the ageing effect.
