Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker 30W 2x12 Combo, Second-Hand Overview
A revised classic at a price you'll love
Item in good condition (small marks or scratches)
The Marshall Bluesbreaker 1962 Combo, also known as the Marshall 1962, gained legendary status thanks to its association with Eric Clapton, particularly during his tenure with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and his iconic work on the "Beano" sessions. This amp is celebrated as the sound that helped ignite the British blues explosion, influencing generations of guitarists.
This 30-watt combo amplifier is equipped with two 12-inch Celestion Greenback 25W speakers, delivering a robust low end and vibrant high frequencies, all enveloped in a warm, natural tone. The valve rectified output stage plays a critical role in creating the amp’s signature compression and sustain, characteristics shared with the legendary JTM45 amplifier.
Despite its similarities to the JTM45 in tonal characteristics, the 1962 Bluesbreaker sets itself apart with its tremolo effect, which can be activated using a footswitch. This feature enhances its versatility, making it ideal for classic blues and rock tones. The Bluesbreaker 1962 remains a favorite for its organic, responsive dynamics and is a cornerstone for those seeking authentic vintage British blues tone.
The amp has been tested by our second-hand department and is fully functional!
