"The best you can get"

Feature:
This amp has no features. You don't need them. There is six knobs and thats the most you need for rock.

Quality:
Typical marshall quality.

Value:
A little expensive when initially purchased but when you get it home and plug in you will think you stole it.

Desirability:
Very sexy.

Sound:
The ultimate in zep and hendrix sound. No distortion pedals needed. This amp is exactly like the original. I own both. There is no difference in sound once the amp is used for a while, a must for any zep fan.

Support:
Never needed support. Marshall amps are extremely durable.

Overall:
I will NEVER buy anything but marshall.

"The Holy Grail of All Amps"

Feature:
even tho you dont need any sort of effects to add to the awesome tone, i just run a wah through the effects loop and you can hear the difference....

Value:
best money i ever spent on an amp

Desirability:
this amp is the real deal....there is so much beauty in how simple the head looks....if you want flash, be like all the other little girls and buy a Mesa or Peavy

Sound:
hot rod the 2 channels....that is the best way to get the purest tone out of the head....you won't regret it

Overall:
this is the holy grail of guitar amp tone...nothing sounds better than the head's settings all turned up to 10...I was originally drawn to it by hearing Hendrix, Clapton and others, and the best thing about it is that it is so authentic. But at the same time, you don't hear those players in your sound, exactly...you hear you...

This is it! The Marshall 1959SLP 100-watt Super Lead Plexiglas, head of the late '60s/early '70s, as used by countless classic bands has been re-issued in all of its glory. The 1959SLP has been in production since the late 60s but with various electrical and cosmetic changes happening along the way. The models produced in the late 1960s/early 1970s however, were the ones that most tone gurus regarded as the finest examples. After much searching Marshall managed to track down 2 amps from this period that were the finest they'd heard, packed with all the tone and rich velvet overdrive. They gave these 2 tone monsters to their guitar-playing R&D experts and left them to create a re-issue that was so authentic that they couldn't tell the difference. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams -- the 1959SLP re-issue came to life!

The Marshall re-issue models all are faithful reproductions of the originals, which shaped the sound of electric guitar as we know it. The main characteristic that these amps share is their simplicity of operation and superb natural valve tone. Achieving the beautifully organic and vibrant overdrive, which is their trademark, can only be done in one way - crank 'em up! The result is pure, majestic tone uncluttered by unnecessary circuitry. With solos this produces a big, round, warm, sustain, full of classic character. With chord work you get a bark and percussive attack with a natural sounding break up, which allows each note to ring out in a glorious musical crunch.
