Marshall SLP Reissue 100W 1959 preset
Verified · 92/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Marshall 1959SLP is a meticulous reissue of the iconic late-1960s Super Lead, voiced to faithfully recreate the plexi tones that defined rock and roll — the same raw, aggressive midrange, musical harmonic content, and voltage-sag-induced dynamics of the originals. Marshall engineers used original 1959 amplifiers as reference points, and the addition of an effects loop (with a true bypass switch) is the only meaningful concession to modern convenience. For players who want that unmistakable plexi roar without the price and unpredictability of a 60-year-old amp, the SLP remains the definitive option.
