There's a certain magic about a classic Marshall, to celebrate this magic, we have the Marshall 1959 Modified, a reimagined version of one of the most iconic amps in music history. Often referred to as the "Plexi" amp, this version of the Marshall classic has backed up countless rock legends and today carries that same uncompromising sound.

The 1959 originally earned its legendary status throughout the '60s and '70s while playing alongside rock and blues legends like Hendrix, Page, and Young. Their original 1959s served as the bedrock from which they built their signature sounds. With a harmonically rich overdrive and natural dynamics, their sound defined the sound of early hard rock.

Today's Marshall 1959 Modified delivers the iconic tone of the 1959 with new, modern features. Starting out, the 1959 Modified features a master volume control that allows for players to summon Marshall's classic high-gain crunch at any volume level. This addition enhances the amp's playability in a variety of scenarios. From here, the 1959 Modified's includes a switchable bright cap for refined tonal control. For players who are seeking out even deeper tonal sculpting, this feature keys in on the finer qualities on high frequencies to sharpen or mellow the overall output of the amp. This will suit your higher-gain rock tones as well as your lower-gain bluesy breakup. Drop in the 1959 Modified's gain boost switch with two overdrive modes and you've got easy access to either classic drives for rock and blues or modern drives for hard rock and metal. The 1959 Modified is hand-built in Marshall's Bletchley, England factory, upholding the legacy of Marshall quality.
