Marshall 1959 Modified 100-watt Tube Head

The legendary 1959 tone, with new modifications including a master volume control.

Introducing the Marshall 1959 Modified, a modern evolution of the iconic Marshall 1959 ‘Plexi’ amp. The new 1959 Modified preserves the unmistakable sound behind classic rock while integrating modern upgrades for enhanced control and versatility, making it perfect for today’s musicians.

The new master volume control lets players achieve the amp's legendary high-gain crunch at lower volumes—ideal for home practice, studio recording, or live performances without sacrificing the amp's signature tone. Added features like the switchable bright cap enhance tonal flexibility, allowing players to tune in vintage brightness, which will cut through a mix or a rounder, warmer sound for smoother styles.

A gain boost switch offers two overdrive modes: a classic break-up for blues and rock, and a higher-gain tone suited for modern rock and metal. These features ensure that, whether you’re seeking Hendrix’s dynamic depth or carving out your unique sound, the 1959 Modified can adapt for any style.

Balancing the legacy of rock’s golden era with contemporary innovations, the Marshall 1959 Modified is a perfect choice for guitarists seeking legendary tone with modern functionality. It’ll deliver timeless rock sound with enhanced control at any volume.
