You can’t beat a classic, and if you can’t beat them, join them! This Marshall 1974X gives you all of the authentic, vintage, overdrive-soaked tone that we have come to love and expect from the classic amps of the 1970s. This fiery 18 watt, 1×12″ combo amp is an enticing hand-wired reissue of the model 1974, a combo that was originally produced from way back between 1965 to 1968. Initially developed in 1965 to be used as a more personal practice amp, it lacked volume and power that other Marshall Amp Heads could offer. Ideal for much smaller environments, it held held its bottom end growl and bite at lower volumes, making this amp ideal for bedroom guitar heroes!
Loaded with two EL84 tubes in the power amp, three ECC83s in the preamp, an EZ81 rectifier tube, all complimented with a tasty valve-driven tremolo as a cherry on the top, this is one combo amp that is not to be underestimated! Extreme tonal authenticity is offered here, perfectly matching the original 20W, ceramic magnet Celestion T1221 speaker. Throw in a footswitch and you’re ready to rock, just don’t wake the neighbours!

What Marshall say about the 1974X 18 watt Combo Amp:
The 18 Watt 1974X is a reissue of the fabled 1974 dual channel, all-valve combo, produced between 1966 and 1968. Just like the original, the 1974X is hand soldered, with an aluminum chassis, and has a valve-driven tremolo circuit. Its two-channel design is straightforward and effective – just volume and tone controls on channel one and volume, tone, speed and sensitivity on the tremolo channel.
Because of its lower Wattage, the 1974X power valves will overdrive sooner than an amp of higher power. This means that the 1974X produces harmonically rich and sensitive, vintage Marshall tones at volumes that won’t shift your hearing; this is great for the studio and gives you greater control of live sound. That said, flat out it still packs quite a punch.
The T1221/67 Greenback speaker used in the original 1974 combo would mature over time, with its sound softening with age. The special 12” Celestion G12M-20 Greenback in the 1974X has been ‘aged’ to get as close as possible to that vintage, worn in, ’60s vibe.
