In 1967, Marshall released a 50-watt version of the 100-watt Superlead known as the 1987 Model. In 1969, the plexiglass panel was replaced by a brushed metal front panel. Other early customers included Pete Townshend and John Entwistle of The Who, whose search for extra volume led Marshall to design the classic 100-watt valve amplifier. [12]
The 1959 (Marshall's identifying numbers are not years of manufacture), produced from 1965 to 1976 (when it was replaced by the 2203 "Master Volume"), [1] is an amplifier in Marshall's "Standard" series. [2] It was designed by Ken Bran and Dudley Craven after The Who's guitarist Pete Townshend asked Marshall for a 100 watt amplifier. [3]
The human ear perceives a 5-watt amplifier as half as loud as a 50-watt amplifier (a tenfold increase in power), and a half-watt amplifier is a quarter as loud as a 50-watt amp. Doubling the output power of an amplifier results in a just noticeable increase in volume, so a 100-watt amplifier is only just noticeably louder than a 50-watt amplifier.
The Flexi-50 amplifier head was released in 2003, and made its debut at that year's Music Live event in the UK. It is a 50-watt, class-AB amplifier, meant to “create an idealized (Marshall) ‘Plexi’ tone". [20] As a “subtle homage” to the Plexi, the Flexi's faceplate is gold Plexiglas. [20]
A diagram showing a wiring modification for a Les Paul or a similar electric guitar with two humbuckers. Wiring schemes using four push-pull pots for additional pickup combinations were made popular by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and later produced as a signature model by Gibson. The modification shown in this diagram is an evolution of ...
An instrument amplifier is used with musical instruments such as an electric guitar, an electric bass, electric organ, electric piano, synthesizers and drum machine to convert the signal from the pickup (with guitars and other string instruments and some keyboards) or other sound source (e.g, a synthesizer's signal) into an electronic signal ...
This model evolved into the Hiwatt CP103 (not to be confused with the standard Hiwatt DR103- a completely different tone circuit). In 1973, a DR103W model was created (a CP103 tone circuit with different panel layout). [11] [12] Since the early 1990s, Pete Townshend has relied on Fender Vibroking amps with 212 extension cabinets. At times a ...
