SOLD | Marshall Handwired 1974x Combo

What's Hot
challenchallen Frets: 51
edited December 2016 in Amps £
Sounds as good as it looks. Lovely, fat and woody with all that el84 chimey goodness. Chunky, rootsy clean tones through to singing Bluesbreaker leads. All achievable at sound engineer friendly(ish) volumes.

8.5/10 condition, few marks on the tolex but nothing major.
Tremolo footswitch included.

Speaker is the stock Celestion G12M-20 Greenback which has been 'aged' for a warmer sound. Its low sensitivity allows for those classic tones at reasonable volumes. Think they made the cone out of a slightly different material, sounds gorgeous.

Full spec on Marshall website here: https://marshallamps.com/products/amplifiers/handwired-series/1974x/

£800 collected from Bristol. Happy to drive a reasonable distance to meet if you should require. Also interested in trades for boutique 1x12 cabs.

For some reason all the photos have rotated, no idea why - apologies in advance!

Cheers,
Charlie

    Can never understand why these seem to take a while to sell whenever they come up.

    If I was gigging I'd be all over one.  Not too heavy and have just enough oomph to get a place going.  Those G12m-20 drivers are something special.  GLWTS.

    Cheers Andy. I think people might pigeonhole them as being a one trick pony because they are so simple. They make an excellent platform for pedals and can cover a lot of ground in some pretty varied genres.

    It's not all about LPs and turning this up to 10!

    I've got the 1974cx cabinet and it's my most used cabinet.

    Not surprised! I can imagine pairing one up with this amp would yield some pretty amazing results!

    Great idea! Seriously though, wouldn't that be a case of overdriven combined with more overdriven - and no clean to speak of?

    Clean would turning the guitar volume down and selecting the right amp.

    More for layers of tone rather than a clean / dirty thing.
