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 Major 200W
1969 Extremely rare vintage head with incredible tone. These 200 watt heads are fast becoming real rarities and have a magnificent tone. These models were favored by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Paul Kossoff and Jimmy Page. They were also used as bass heads by the likes of Andy Fraser no less. We currently have a 1969 Major in stock in superb condition. It has 4 KT88 Valves and although the cosmetic styling is identical to the familiar Super Bass and Super Lead models, the cabinet is about 20% larger in every dimension. Personally, we consider that these amps sound better than the plexi SuperLeads or SuperBasses. ||| click for picture ||| ||| more information |||

Marshall JCM 800
We stock various JCM 800 models either single or twin channels with/without reverb 50 or 100W. Introduced during the 1980's, the Marshall JCM 800 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 footswitchable channels.||| click for picture |||Click for full spec ||| more information |||

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! Personally 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 footswitchable 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 tho' not particularly reliable.
