Marshall 1974X Handwired 18W 1x12 Combo AmpOriginal versions of this 18 Watt Amplifier (made from 1966–68) are rare and highly sought after. The new, all-valve combo (3 x ECC83s* in preamp, 1 x EZ81 rectifier, 2 x EL84s in power amp) features two channels and a valve-driven Tremolo circuit (on Channel 2). Each channel offers two inputs plus volume and tone controls. Channel 2 also has Speed and Depth controls for the Tremolo. A contributing sonic factor in the original 1974 is the way the sound of the Celestion Greenback speaker softens with age. For the 1974X, Celestion revisited the recipe for the original 20 Watt, ceramic magnet, 15 Ohm, Greenback T1221 speaker, and “aged” it. The result is a new speaker proprietary to Marshall that yields all of the sonic characteristics of the original.
To enhance the user-friendliness of the 2061X, an impedance selector has been added to the rear panel and both the Mains and H.T. fuses are now accessible via the rear panel. Again, these new features have no tonal impact on the amplifier whatsoever.
* Note: ECC83 valves are also known as 12AX7s.
