And they use 5881s. I'd assumed they would do the standard downsize trick of switching to EL84s which never seems totally convincing to me.
Bet it'll be spendy though.

The other two amps in the series (Plexi and JCM800) use EL34s at low voltages as well.

Why didn't they add a Jumper switch to save having to use a patch lead on these amps ?

Same as other studio series (same price), nice looking though. $1750 + GST delivered from Andertons, so about the same price here I expect.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I wonder if they'd take KT66s?

That’d make it an 1974 though.

Big glass = big tone usually. Even at smaller voltages. The /13 BTR is 23 watts from two KT88s.

One of the best amps I owned was a Marshall with a quad of KT66’s. Really like the look of the 20w head, and waiting until they land here gives me a chance to save some coin

Oh and great to see they’re Made in England

That'd be a shame. Terrible amps.

They're still not made very well though. Cheapy parts on a cheapy PCB (if they're anything like the jcm800 studio). You're definitely not paying for build quality.

If the OT can handle it, I'm sure changing out the bias resistors should do the trick.

That guy's playing is weird - robotic or something.

Not getting the vibes.

I agree! He seems to do most of the official Marshall videos but his phrasing or something isn’t very musical.
Can play fast but without the soul?
