Marshall Honors Its Founder With Reboot Of Classic Amps & Old-School Logo

Marshall is celebrating what would have been the 100th birthday of its founder Jim Marshall with its latest creation: the Studio JTM. This new series of amps to the Studio collection is known for its warm and smooth tones, enjoyed by musicians worldwide.

Crafted in England, the now smaller Studio JTM embodies the electric Marshall spirit. The vintage appeal of the item is enhanced by classic details like the sturdy metal logo in the shape of a “coffin”, gold piping, and beading reminiscent of the 1960s. The amp features G12M-65 Creamback Celestion speakers, known for their rich heritage and association with well-known artists.

Marshall notes that its decision to reduce its size will make the amp more portable for musicians on the road while keeping its sound quality.

What also sets Studio JTM apart is its adaptability to different environments. With built-in power reduction technology, users can switch between 20W and 5W output levels for versatility on stage and in the studio.

The amp now includes an FX Loop and DI out for added convenience. Additionally, users can jump channels using a patch cable to achieve Normal and High Treble tones.

The Studio JTM range includes the ST20H head priced at US$2,350, featuring versatile controls, power reduction, and four instrument inputs. The head needs to be connected to a separate speaker cabinet with one or two G12M-65s at US$1,480 or US$1,850.

Alternatively, the ST20C combo amp combines the head and single-speaker cabinet, priced at US$2,650, providing a compact all-in-one option.
