This amazing amp is a custom build by Brent Bagby at Solderhaus in Seattle, WA, built to kill. Good lord, does it sound good!
The build combines the tone of the legendary 18 watt Marshall circuit with the larger cabinet and two 12″ speakers of the famed Model 1962 Bluesbreaker.
You see, everyone always loves the tone of the Bluesbreaker, but they are just too loud for most players to put to use. The 18 watt circuit gets the overdrive you want at lower volumes, and with the two 12″ speakers, there is a bit more headroom than the typical 1×12″ 18-watt combo.
Marshall could have built one this good, but they haven’t since the 60s. From the Mercury Magnetics transformers on up, the amp is dialed with the best components. The work is vintage correct.
The tone is vintage correct as well. The limited edition Celestion reissue T652 speakers certainly don’t hurt. Although not exclusive to Marshall, the original version of the speaker was standard in all of the first Marshall speaker cabinets and combos made until around late 1965. As such they are very sought after by Marshall collectors, as are these accurate reissues. From late 1965 Marshall started using the T1221 greenback speaker instead, although T652’s have been found sporadically into late 66.
I’m not sure who made the cabinet, but it is very well made, just like everything else you see here.
