A superb example of the 2011 Marshall JTM45 Reissue (Model 2245), a UK-built valve amplifier head that faithfully recreates the legendary sound that launched Marshall in the early 1960s. Inspired by the original amplifier that helped shape the tones of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend and countless others, the JTM45 remains one of the most expressive and dynamic valve amplifiers ever produced.

Hand-built in Marshall's Bletchley, England factory, the JTM45 reissue delivers the warm cleans, rich harmonic complexity and smooth valve overdrive that defined early British blues and rock. Unlike later high-gain Marshall amplifiers, the JTM45 excels at touch-sensitive dynamics, rewarding every nuance of your playing while providing one of the finest pedal platforms ever produced.
