Marshall 1959SLP Vintage Series 100W Tube Head
The real screamin’ deal!
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.

Marshall Zakk Wylde MG15MSZW Limited Edition Micro Stack
Big Zakk Wylde Marshall tone in a compact package.
There’s nothing Micro about Zakk Wylde, but even Zakk doesn’t always haul his full-sized Marshall everywhere he goes – like backstage to warm up.
This 15W head and 2 x 8″ speaker cabinets create a stack that is only 15″W x 37″H x 9″D, but the Marshall MG15MSZW Micro Stack puts out a tone that’s far from miniature.
The head has all the standard MG features: control for clean volume; overdrive gain and volume; reverb level; and 3-way EQ with bass, treble, and a contour that lets you fine-tune the mids. It also boasts a CD input, an emulated line out, and a headphone jack that mutes the speakers.
Conceived by Dr. Jim Marshall after he and Zakk had shared a few whiskeys, this Zakk Wylde version of the Micro Stack sports salt & pepper grille cloth and a custom Zakk control panel with the famous bullseye pattern. The Zakk Wylde Micro Stack is a Limited Edition. Marshall is slated to make a total of 1400 for the USA, and we’ve managed to secure 750 of these for our customers, but I wouldn’t wait if I were you. We don’t expect these to hang around long.
