Product Overview
Marshall TMB18 clone
This 1X12 combo amp is A pointtopoint, hand-wired TMB (Treble Middle Bass) version of the Marshall 18 watter. This is seriously one of the most essential and versatile amps you’ll ever own. Boasting Two channels of tasty class A, EL84 goodness. The first channel is just volume and tone – great for shimmering, vox-like clean tones with that topend chime that you can only get with EL84s. Crank the volume up and back off on the tone control and you’ve got tones that are reminiscent of a Tweed Deluxe. The second channel features the TMB controls and a master volume, which allow you to punch up the gain, sculpt the tone, and keep the volume right where you want it. This channel is pure Marshall tone with an added Metropolis Zero Loss effects loop. Jump the channels for a great mix of effects through the loop and channel one remains dry. The speaker enclosure is sealed from the amp and is loaded with a Celestion 25 W GB.
The tubes are all JJ EL84 x 2, ECC83 x 3, and EZ81 rectifier. The transformers are Classic Tone™ from Magnetic Components. These aren't rebranded "custom reproductions" of unknown origin. These are paper layer wound to vintage specs, using vintage construction methods, and made in Chicago, USA by a company that has been winding iron since 1943.
