Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Manual Del Usaurio página 5

INTRODUCTION
The Marshall reputation has been built
upon many things, but our longevity
comes mainly as a result of the continual
relevance of the concepts behind the
design and build of our amplifiers – add
to this: solid workmanship, iconic looks
and above all, great tone.
The amp you have just acquired was
originally launched at a time when the
face and sound of popular music was
rapidly changing, with electric guitarists
smashing through musical boundaries to
create new musical genres.
Each of the amplifiers in the Vintage Re-
issue Series was there at the beginning
of this music revolution and they all
played their part.
The continual fascination and love that
many guitarists show for our vintage
OVERVIEW
The Vintage Re-issue Series consists of the 100 Watt 1959SLP head, the 50 Watt
1987X head, the JTM45 2245 head and 1962 Bluesbreaker combo. All are faithful
reproductions of the 1960s originals that shaped the sound of the electric guitar as we
know it.
The main characteristic that these amplifiers share is their simplicity of operation and
superb all-valve tone. Achieving the beautifully organic and vibrant overdrive which
is their trademark, can only be done in one way – by cranking them up. The result is
pure, majestic tone uncluttered by unnecessary circuitry. With solos this produces a
big, round, warm sustain, full of classic character. With chord work you get a bark and
percussive attack with a natural sounding break up, which allows each note to ring out
in a glorious musical crunch.
EFFECTS LOOP
Due to popular demand, a sonically transparent effects loop has been added to the
1959SLP and 1987X models. This circuitry has been designed to not colour the guitar
sound, so that your tone remains pure. The bypass switch gives you the option of
completely removing this circuitry if desired. The effects loop level selector ensures
compatibility with rack processors and stompboxes.
amplifiers is testament to just how
relevant and important these models
still are today.
The re-issues of these legendary
amplifiers are as faithful as possible to
the originals in terms of looks and tone.
Hand-crafted in Bletchley, England,
these superb products feature finger-
jointed cabinets of birch plywood,
hand-welded chassis, hand soldered
potentiometers and valve bases, and the
highest quality PCBs and componentry.
Thank you for choosing Marshall. We
sincerely hope that your Vintage Re-
issue amplifier proves indispensable
and that it provides you with years of
legendary Marshall tone.
