The Marshall JTM 45 is a legendary guitar amplifier that holds a significant place in the history of rock and roll as the perfect blues and rock amp.
In the early 1960s, guitarists like Pete Townshend of The Who were pushing the boundaries of amplification, seeking higher power and more overdrive to achieve the desired rock sound. Jim Marshall, a drum shop owner in London, recognized this demand and began developing amplifiers to cater to these needs. The JTM45 was inspired by the Fender Bassman but designed with some key differences, including KT66 or EL34 power tubes instead of 6L6 tubes.

It was famously used by Eric Clapton during his time with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Clapton‘s Tone on the "Beano" album became the cornerstone of the blues-rock tone, significantly contributing to the development of the British rock sound and the emerging rock music of the 1960s.

The JTM45's distinctive warm and crunchy tone made it a classic and highly sought-after amplifier in the vintage amp market.
While the original JTM45 is considered a vintage classic, Marshall has also produced reissues and variations of this amplifier to cater to the ongoing demand from guitarists and collectors. Recently Marshall released their JTM studio, a 20 Watt version of that iconic amp , keeping the original cosmetics and design. As Thomas owns an all original JTM45 from 1965 he will compare the real deal versus the new Marshall Studio JTM and AMP1.

But that's not all! We've got exclusive interviews lined up with a rising US guitarist, Andrew Matthews, who just released his debut album 'Troubled Child,' and the renowned German rock band, Mad Max, fresh from their Latin American tour.

Get ready for a journey through the ages as we compare the vintage JTM 45 with the modern Marshall Studio JTM and BluGuitar AMP1. It's a showdown of classic versus modern, and you're invited to witness the battle of tones!
