Introducing the Marshall 1959 Modified, a modern take on the legendary Marshall 1959 ‘Plexi’ amp. This reimagined classic retains the raw, iconic sound that defined rock history, now with additional features for today's players. The new modifications include a master volume control, allowing for that signature high- gain crunch at any volume—perfect for home, studio, or stage. A switchable bright cap which offers tonal flexibility allowing you to access anything from a sharp vintage brightness to a warm, rounded tone, while the additional gain boost switch provides two levels of overdrive: classic rock grit or a modern, aggressive crunch.

The Marshall 1959 Modified combines timeless tone with modern versatility, making it the ultimate amp for capturing classic sounds – made famous by rock legends or forging your own.

Features:

Master volume control lets you enjoy this amp’s renowned high-gain crunch at any volume level – ideal for home, studio, or stage 
A switchable bright cap for refined tonal control, allowing you to fine-tune the high frequencies for either a sharp, vintage brightness that cuts through the mix or a smoother, warmer tone 
The gain boost enables you to switch to classic breakup or engage a higher-gain mode for aggressive tones with two overdrive modes 

Inspired by guitarists, created by Marshall
The modified amp culture, driven by dedicated musicians and gear enthusiasts, has inspired us to reimagine the iconic 1959 model with new features that stay true to its legendary tone while expanding its versatility for modern players.
