Introducing the Marshall 1959 Modified, a modern evolution of the iconic Marshall 1959 ‘Plexi’ amp. The new 1959 Modified preserves the unmistakable sound behind classic rock while integrating modern upgrades for enhanced control and versatility, making it perfect for today’s musicians.
Marshall 1959 Modified Guitar Amplifier Head Features
The new master volume control lets players achieve the amp's legendary high-gain crunch at lower volumes—ideal for home practice, studio recording, or live performances without sacrificing the amp's signature tone. Added features like the switchable bright cap enhance tonal flexibility, allowing players to tune in vintage brightness, which will cut through a mix or a rounder, warmer sound for smoother styles.
A gain boost switch offers two overdrive modes: a classic break-up for blues and rock, and a higher-gain tone suited for modern rock and metal. These features ensure that, whether you’re seeking Hendrix’s dynamic depth or carving out your unique sound, the 1959 Modified can adapt for any style.
Balancing the legacy of rock’s golden era with contemporary innovations, the Marshall 1959 Modified is a perfect choice for guitarists seeking legendary tone with modern functionality. It’ll deliver timeless rock sound with enhanced control at any volume.
Inspired by guitarists, created by us
The Marshall 1959 Modified amp celebrates the vibrant modified amp culture that has influenced music for generations. Inspired by a community who customize their amps to create signature sounds, we’ve re-envisioned our iconic 1959 amp with key updates. These enhancements not only preserve the legendary Marshall tone but also offer greater versatility tailored to today’s players.
Faithfully replicating everything you love about the 1959
The 1960s were a pivotal era for amplifiers, with the Marshall 1959 ‘Plexi’ emerging as a rock icon. Introduced in 1965 to meet demands for louder amps, the 1959 originally used KT66 valves and later 100-watt transformers with EL34 valves, creating the signature Marshall growl that defined classic rock.
The 1959 became a core part of late 60s and 70s rock, featured in countless legendary recordings and championed by artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and The Who. Today, the 1959 Modified offers the same iconic tone, now enhanced with modern features for greater versatility and control—blending timeless design with innovations tailored for the modern player.
Added features
The Marshall 1959 Modified delivers the iconic 1959 tone with new, modern features. A master volume control lets you achieve legendary high-gain crunch without maxing out volume, perfect for a range of environments. The switchable bright cap feature adds tonal flexibility, allowing you to dial in vintage brightness for cutting through the mix or a warmer, rounded tone for bluesy warmth. On top of this, the added gain boost switch offers two overdrive modes: a classic break-up for rock and blues or a higher-gain tone for modern rock and metal. The 1959 Modified combines classic sound with versatile control, making it perfect for today’s guitarist.
Longstanding commitment to craftsmanship
Since the Marshall 1959’s iconic sound remains a firm favorite among musicians in pursuit of the classic rock sound, it must always live up to its name. That’s why it’s still meticulously constructed and hand-built at our Bletchley, England factory. The 1959 Modified is made to stay true to the spirit of Marshall and our timeless design details. Considering its impact across numerous recordings, our focus on craftsmanship helps ensure it is the preferred choice for guitarists looking to capture the Marshall legacy with a modern twist.
