Studio JTM – The amp that started it all returns
The Marshall JTM returns in a more compact, lightweight package to honor what would have been Jim Marshall’s 100th birthday and to pay homage to the first Marshall amp.
Inspired by the JTM first produced in 1962, the new Studio JTM brings to the modern player the same legendary warm, smooth tone that has inspired generations of musicians to launch their musical visions into the world.
The new Studio JTM range includes a 20W head, 20W combo amplifier, 1 x 12″ and 2 x 12″ cabs. They come adorned with period correct aesthetics like the famous red enamel cast “coffin” logo and luxurious fawn fret.
The original JTM45 was highly praised by Gary Moore, Richie Blackmore in the Angus Young to give more tone, gain and grit to their sound. You can expect the same ethos behind the creation of Studio JTM, having recreated the sound of JTM in immaculate detail. Furthermore, the Studio JTM range is handcrafted in Marshall’s world-class UK factory in Milton Keynes.
Terry MarshallJI’m Marshallhis son and creator of the original JTM45, said GadgetyNews:
When I was proved the Studio JTM, and it took me back to my original JTM45; it was my sound… I feel like it’s going to be something special.
Modern Convenience – Classic Sound
The Studio JTM features many of the same components that helped define the iconic sound, from the ECC83 preamp values, 5881 power amp valves, ECC83 phase splitter and G12M-65 creamback Celestion speakers, resulting in a unique blend of warm, growly and versatile sound.
Marhsall’s new design has a smaller footprint and lighter offering than its historical counterpart without compromising sound quality. This results in easy transport and more applications for the busy musician, especially since the Studio JTM has built-in power reduction technology, which allows players to switch between 20W and 5W settings.
Additionally, you’ll find an FX Loop and DI Out, allowing you to add FX and external recording to further customize your gaming experience.
The Marshall Studio JTM range is available now with suggested retail prices coming in at £1,075 for the ST20H 20W head, £1,279 for the ST20C 20W combo, while the ST112 1×12″ cabinet is priced at £565, and the ST212 2×12 costs £76.
