Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb
With Tremolo and Reverb. Front of the Tremoverb basically it's a Dual Rectifier with a tremolo. Now rare as it is not being made any longer. Sounds superb, the reverb takes the edge off the nasty clean sound of the original rectifier. Click here for spec ||| click for picture |||

Marshall JMP Master Volume
We have a variety of Marshall Heads 50 & 100w JMPs from early 70's to modern re-issues with 2 input Master Volume.  Our opinion - Not needed just watch any 70's live footage of Hendrix, Purple, Free or Led Zep.  ||| click for picture ||| ||| more information ||| Marshall amp hire.

Marshall JCM 800 2210 & 2205 Dual Super Lead (50 & 100w)
Introduced during the mid 1980's, the 2210 (100w)and 2205 (50w) DSL series added sought-after features to the product line, such as an effects loop and master volume. The 2210 DSL series included reverb and two foot-switchable channels making it incredibly versatile.

Marshall JCM 800 2203 & 2204 Master Volume series (50 & 100w)
Introduced during the early 1980's, the 2210 (100w)and 2205 (50w) series are the purist choice. Heard of pretty much every classic rock album in the 80's. These had a little more grunt than the JMP. A single channel head that offered more gain at the pre-amp stage but when backed off sounds great for blues.  We recently added a single channel re-issue which has an effects loop. AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Airbourne anybody?    ||| click for picture ||| Click for full spec ||| more information |||

Marshall JCM 800 1987 (50w)
These classic Marshall amps, are favoured and featured by some of the world's greatest guitarists and bands. The model 1987 standard lead 50 watt, with its unique sweet overdriven valve sound and sustain, also features  twin channels, one channel is normal (input II) and the other has a high treble response. Each channel has its own volume control and is mixed into the tone network of treble, middle, bass and presence controls. Many guitarists connect two inputs to get that legendary classic overdriven sound.

Marshall JCM 900 Dual Reverb
100 & 50 Watts. The JCM 900 Dual Reverb was designed to meet the demands of today's ever evolving guitar players. Marshall engineers voiced the first channel (A) for sparkling clarity but added enough percussive punch to kick out every note. Channel (B) provides potent gain and grinding aggression, propelling solos straight over the top of the band. Yet despite this gain, real tone is never sacrificed. ||| click for picture ||| ||| more information |||

Marshall JCM 900 SLX
100W. Produced during the 1990's, the JCM 900 Mark IV SL-X (Super Lead X-tended) amp was an evolutionary link in the Marshall Master Volume series. By adding an extra ECC 83 (12AX7A) valve, Marshall engineers created a gain-drenched front end that combined twin gain controls, from 0-10, and another that went all the way to 20! This was the amp that KISS used on their world tours during the period. Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley could afford any amplifier, but they found only one with the sound they needed to fill arenas with the power of their raw, blistering rock 'n roll: the SL-X! Our opinion - we think that on full gain they sound like a bee in a jam jar but hey! what do we know??? ||| click for picture ||| ||| more information |||

Marshall DSL 200 100W

100 Watt DSL100 . DSL is an acronym for 'Dual Super Lead' , so it should come as no surprise that this amp has two foot-switchable channels - Classic and Ultra . Furthermore, each of these channels boasts two modes: the Classic channel offers a Clean / Crunch option while the Ultra offers Lead 1 or Lead 2 . Instead of merely offering a variation in gain level to the two channels, each one of these four modes has been individually voiced as an amp in its own right.


The tremendous tonal versatility of this amp, coupled with a 100% pure valve signal path (4x ECC83s , 4x EL34s ),

 

Dual Reverb controls, a Tone Shift switch which 'scoops out' the mids and a Deep Switch that adds a tight, bowel loosening, low end boost, caused the guitar world to sit up and take notice right from the outset.

 

Our opinion - useful and versatile. We have recently had the circuit boards replaced with the new brand new version (20 from 2010) and all reliability issues now seem to be sorted. We now have the most reliable DSL and TSL's in the world!!

Marshall TSL 200 100W

It's like having 3 separate amps in one box!

Having 3 independent channels (Clean, Crunch and Lead) puts amazing control, flexibility, and tone variations at your fingertips.

From sparkling clean to full-blown Marshall roar, this all-valve 100W head delivers it all. Each channel features its own volume, gain, and EQ. Master controls include tone shift for beefing up tone at low volumes, Accutronics spring reverb, effects loop mix control, speaker emulation DI circuit for silent recording, virtual power reduction that gives you a glorious, saturated power amp feel without cranking it up to 10.

Comes loaded with 4 ECC83 pre-amp valves, 4 EL34 power amp valves and also features two effects loops, loudspeaker outputs, a five-way LED foot controller, and more.

Peavey 5150

Peavey's Brown sound amp that has a smooth crunch sound along with great lush harmonics. The Peavey 5150 guitar amp was designed with the help of EVH. The 5150 guitar head comes with five 12AX7 preamp tubes that produce some of the most "Eruptive" sonic rock sounds you'll ever hear come out of an amp. This amp is the same amp that EVH uses while recording and on tour. The amp has 120 watts (true RMS) that can drive 16, 8, or 4 ohm speaker cabinets. As mentioned it has five 12AX7 tubes in its preamp section as well as four 6L6 power amp tubes. The front panel has two inputs one for high gain and the other for low. The preamp section is broken down into two channels that can be switched on the amp or by using a footswitch. The Rhythm channel has both PRE and POST gain controls that allow you to dial-in the any amount of molten lead that you want. There is also a bright and crunch switch for switching between a normal and a bit more crunch sound. The lead channel also has PRE and POST gain controls and both channels share a 3-band Equalizer, presence and resonance knobs. The EQ has an effect LOOP so you can insert effects after the EQ. There is also a PREAMP out for connecting to another amp or for recording directly into a recording console..  Click here for spec  ||| click for picture |||
