After
the huge success of the JTM45
amplifier, a 2x12" combo version
was released to satisfy popular demand
and the now legendary 1962 Combo
was born. Again the valve rectification,
pioneered by Marshall in the early 1960s,
was responsible for helping to achieve
the famed output stage compression and
sustain exhibited uniquely by both the
JTM45 and 1962.
Though tonally similar to a JTM45, the
1962 combo is loaded with two re-issue
Celestion 'Greenback' 25 Watt
speakers to re-create that classic sixties
tone. The 1962 'Bluesbreaker' Combo
also comes with the addition of a footswitchable
Tremolo effect.
The 1962 received its more familiar
nick name, the 'Bluesbreake ffb r',
after Eric Clapton used one with John
Mayall's Bluesbreakers to record their
highly influential 'Beano' album.
Here was one of the earliest and finest
examples of a guitarist using the natural
tone and overdrive of an amplifier to
help form a fundamental ingredient in
his own overall sound.
So if you're looking for that sensuous,
creamy early Clapton sound, we guarantee
that you'll find it in this beautifully
re-issued combo. |
