_“Marshall’s legacy is built on a constant drive to innovate while staying true 
to the sound that has made us the choice of guitarists for decades,”_ says **Steph
Carter, Marshall’s Director of Culture Marketing**. _“These new products represent
the next chapter of that legacy—honoring our rich heritage while offering musicians
even more ways to shape their sound. We’re excited to see how these products inspire
musicians and continue to be a vital part of their musical journeys for years to
come.”_

**Steve Smith, Product Expert MI **at Marshall, adds, _“Our mission has always been
to give players more control and flexibility while staying true to our roots. We’ve
been modifying amps for our artists for decades. The Modified Series, Studio 900
and Pedals bring that same approach to a wider audience—innovative tools that provide
the unmistakable Marshall sound, no matter where you are. We can’t wait for guitarists
to experience the power of these new products and push their creativity further.”_

**MODIFIED: AMPLIFYING LEGENDS**

The Modified series — featuring the JCM800 Modified and 1959 Modified — marks a 
bold new chapter for Marshall, as it introduces factory-modified versions of two
of the brand’s most iconic amplifiers for the first time ever, all meticulously 
crafted at Marshall’s Milton Keynes, UK factory.

For decades, Marshall has been modifying amps for their artists, and now they’re
excited to offer fans the opportunity to own these specially modified Marshalls.
This innovative move reimagines the legendary JCM800 and 1959 models with modern
enhancements, offering guitarists unprecedented versatility and capabilities beyond
what the originals could achieve. Marshall modifications have always been about 
achieving “more” — more distortion, more sustain, a bigger sound. At times, they
focused on enhancing versatility, allowing musicians to capture sweeter tones or
unlock the full potential of their Marshall heads without needing to reach ear-splitting
volumes.

In developing the Modified series, Marshall listened closely to its customers and
the feedback from musicians around the world. By responding to their evolving needs
and preferences, Marshall has created a product that addresses the demands of modern
players while maintaining the soul of the classic Marshall sound.

Marshall’s history has long been defined by modification — from the early days of
the JTM45, when the company first began customizing amps to meet the demands of 
artists seeking more power and clarity, to the introduction of the ‘Master Volume’
models in the mid-70s, which responded to changing live and studio needs. For decades,
the spirit of modification has thrived, with musicians around the world working 
with local techs to push their Marshalls to new extremes. With the Modified series,
Marshall takes this tradition to an exciting new level, offering players the ultimate
factory-modified amps that capture both the legacy and the future of rock.

The 1959 Modified provides overdrive at manageable volumes, while the JCM800 Modified
delivers heavier distortion with a tighter sound, ideal for rock and metal. Both
amps retain their legendary dynamics but offer expanded capabilities that bring 
them in line with the needs of today’s musicians. These amps honor Marshall’s tradition
of innovation and modification, allowing players to explore new sonic territories.

_“The Modified range expands on the flexibility of two of the most iconic Marshall
designs, the 1959 (1959MS) and the JCM800 (2203MS). The 1959 (1959MS) gains the 
ability to give powerful overdriven sounds at manageable volume levels and sweeter
clean sounds, whilst the JCM800 (2203MS) is made capable of providing heavier distortion
and a tighter sound, without compromising how well the amp handles playing dynamics.”_
says **Jon Magill, Director R&D Amplifiers.**

**STUDIO 900: COMPACT AND ICONIC**

The Studio 900 series, including the Studio 900 Head and Studio 900 Combo, brings
the iconic JCM900 sound into a smaller, more practical design. Originally released
in the ‘90s, the JCM900 became a favorite of bands across genres like indie, rock,
punk, and metal, and artists such as Zach Blair & Tim Mcllrath (Rise Against), Billie
Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Dave Navarro, John 5 and Noel Gallagher.

Now, the Studio 900 delivers that same legendary tone in a compact, gig-friendly
form. With features like switchable channels, real spring reverb, and power attenuation
with three levels, the Studio 900 offers unparalleled versatility. It’s perfect 
for home studios, smaller venues, or situations where precise volume control and
adaptability are needed. This addition to the Studio range makes the legendary JCM900
accessible to modern musicians looking for flexibility, portability, and, of course,
classic Marshall sound.

_“Bringing the JCM900 (4100) into the Studio form factor has allowed us to create
an amp which was so pivotal to the sound of so many 90s rock bands into a format
suitable for home use or for easy transportation to gigs. Introducing a third, even
lower, power level to the attenuation control (where the other Studio models only
have two) allows the amp to keep giving great sounds even at bedroom levels.”_ Says**
Jon Magill, Director R&D Amplifiers**.

**OVERDRIVE PEDALS: THE MARSHALL SOUND IN A COMPACT FORM**

The Overdrive Pedals Collection takes their most iconic amps — the 1959, DSL, JCM800,
JCM900, and JVM — and recreates their legendary tones in a compact, pedalboard-friendly
format. Each pedal faithfully captures the essence of its respective amplifier, 
offering the same iconic Marshall sound in a more portable and accessible form. 
Crafted with analog circuitry, true bypass, and the high-quality construction Marshall
is renowned for, these pedals bring the power and versatility of classic Marshall
amps to any stage or practice session. Whether you’re after the vintage warmth of
the 1959 Pedal, the signature crunch of the JCM800, or the high-gain roar of the
JCM900, the Marshall Pedal Collection delivers the legendary Marshall tone wherever
you play

._“These pedals bring the sounds of some of the great Marshall amps of history onto
the pedalboard, recreating the sonic character of the amps and enhancing functionality
on some to meet the needs of players.”_ says **Jon Magill, Director R&D Amplifiers.**

The Studio 900 and Pedal collections are now available at select retailers and the
Pedal collection is now also available on Marshall.com. The Modified series will
be available in Q3 at select retailers, with pre-orders open from today.
