Marshall 1959 Super Lead

100-watt non-master-volume 'Plexi' valve guitar amplifier head

The 1959 Super Lead, nicknamed the 'Plexi' for its early acrylic front panel, is Marshall's 100-watt non-master-volume all-valve head first built in the mid-1960s. With EL34 power valves and no master volume, it is bright, extremely loud, and overdrives only when pushed hard, making it the archetypal British rock stack head.
