Marshall JCM900 Model 4500 50-Watt Hi Gain Valve Amplifier Head – 1993

A superb 1993 Marshall JCM900 Model 4500 50-Watt Hi Gain valve amplifier head, presented in excellent condition and sounding every bit as good as you'd expect from one of Marshall's most recognisable amps of the era.

This example has been fully serviced in our workshop and is ready to plug in and enjoy. Cosmetically it is in excellent condition for its age, showing only a few light scuffs and signs of careful use.

The JCM900 series became a staple of the rock and metal scene throughout the 1990s, offering the classic Marshall punch with increased gain, tighter low-end response and outstanding versatility. Equally at home on stage or in the studio, the Model 4500 delivers everything from sparkling cleans through classic crunch to the saturated Marshall overdrive that defined a generation.
