Introducing the new Classic Plus range of all-tube amplifiers from Vox. This EL34-powered line-up marries the classic Vox tone and chime of rock and roll legend with a versatile high-gain channel that goes beyond anything in Vox's 50 year history and into all-new Vox sonic territory. With available 50 and 100-Watt heads plus the new AC50CP2 50-Watt combo, the Classic Plus range delivers amps that do it all -- from the '50s to tomorrow. Sound big? You bet. What do 50 years of classic Vox sonic history sound like? Play one.
2 Channels, Endless Possibilities
The Classic Plus is a channel-switching valve pre and power-amp guitar amplifier that can produce many flavors of tone, from pristine clean to impressive high-gains, and all points between. The 2 channels have a variety of wide-ranging controls to help you create the sound textures that you desire.
Channel 1 covers classic Vox AC30 tones, from sparkling clean to raunchy overdrive. The EQ on this channel is of the interactive passive format that is historic to Vox Top Boost amplifiers and boasts the addition of the famous Tone Cut control, which musically rolls off high end as it is turned up.
Channel 2 picks up where Channel 1 leaves off, delivering everything from modern blues and classic rock tones all the way to high gain classic metal sounds and fluid lead tones. While Channel 2's EQ controls are also of the interactive passive format, they are centered on different frequencies to enhance the higher gain capabilities of Channel 2. The Channel 2 Bright Switch brings in an extra capacitor (switch down) across the Gain control to boost the high-mid and upper frequencies and is particularly effective on lower gain settings. The Bright Switch is great for giving extra bite and clarity to muddy sounding humbuckers. The Fat Switch adds extra gain, and focuses the mid range of the guitar and amp, which helps produce a "singing" tone when playing lead lines.
The Presence Control circuit is another unique feature to the AC range. It combines the traditional active power amp feedback circuit with a passive circuit within Channel 2's preamp. This not only focuses the Presence boost, but, if you turn the control down, it will also introduce a high frequency cut filter that can be used to de-fuzz the preamp distortion, making it less aggressive and sweeter. Since the channels of the Classic Plus are totally independent, you do not need to compromise to achieve your desired tonal palette. It's almost like being able to mix and match two completely different amplifiers!
Total, Tonal Control
The Classic Plus range is packed with features and controls that meld the best of Vox's history with modern conveniences. The Classic Plus features a long spring, high-quality Spring Reverb with individual, foot-switchable level control for each channel, plus series FX looping with selectable level control and bypass switching. The Bypass slide switch will either engage the loop (switch On) or disconnect the effects loop circuitry from the rest of the amplifier (switch Off). With the Loop switch in the Off position, the Send jack socket is still operational and can therefore be used to send the signal to another device such as a tuner or slave amplifier. The Loop Level switch allows the loop to used at 2 different signal levels (approximately +4dBV (high) and -10dBV (low)). This will enable a wide range of devices to be connected to the amplifier. Channel switching and on/off reverb control is managed with the supplied VF002 dual footswitch.
Go Direct
The Classic Plus range features extensive direct recording and line out capabilities from both balanced XLR and unbalanced 1/4 in. outputs with rotary level control and ground lift switching. To enable great sounding connection into PA or recording equipment, the DI also features a speaker emulating Low Pass Filter (LPF) network. This can be switched into or out of circuit as required. Another great plus of the DI circuit is that it is post the power amplifier's phase inverter valve, and before the Output Master Volume control. No matter how loud or quiet your stage level is, you have totally independent control of the DI output level. You can even turn the Master Volume totally off and use the DI output for "silent" recording for those midnight sessions.
Power Trio
The Classic Plus range is comprised of the 50-Watt AC50CPH head (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 2 x EL34B), the 100-Watt AC100CPH head (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 4 x EL34B), and the 50-Watt AC50CP2 combo (4 x 12AX7/ECC83, 2 x EL34B). The AC50CP2 comes loaded with 2 Vox original design 12 in. speakers voiced for maximum performance with the Classic Plus. Pair either of the heads with Vox's V412BN cabinet, and you've got an unbeatable tone machine. No matter how you play, there's a Classic Plus for you. And with their combination of unmatched tone, flexibility and ultra-cool looks, the Classic Plus range is at home on any size stage. Plug in and hear them roar!

Marshall 2203-01 100W Guitar Amplifier
The all-valve JCM800 2203 is one of the most highly respected 100 Watt
Marshall heads in the company's long history.Evolving from the legendary
100 Watt 'Plexi' head,it was one of our first amplifiers to feature a Master
Volume(MV) Control.
The very essence of simplicity,the JCM800 2203 is a one channel,all-valve
amp with no reverb or built-in effects.Its foolproof interface,distinctive roar
and larger-than-life 'edge' immediately set the standard by which all other
rock amps were judged and it remained the 'industry benchmark' throughout
the entire 16 years of its production life.Now it's back by popular demand and
as with the 1959SLP and 1987X we've added a Series Effects Loop featuring
a true bypass switch that takes the loop completely out of the circuit,thus
ensuring the original tone isn't compromised in any shape or form.
| The JVM Series from Marshall is the most comprehensive range of professional, all-valve amplifiers ever offered. No other multi-channel, multi-mode amplifier delivers the amazing all-valve tone offered by the JVM at any price. Multiple, all-valve voicings provide an amazing array of tones which are accessible from the front-panel switches, MIDI or via the revolutionary technology of the supplied footswitch. Hailed as a breakthrough in amplification by the worldʼs guitar press, the JVM Series offers a powerstage built on the peerless EL34 designs responsible for the legendary Marshall roar.
Outstanding Tone
The JVM Series uses a carefully designed, 4 x ECC83 pre-amp stage to generate the desired amount of gain, from the cleanest, yet complex, clean imaginable to a vast palette of overdrives that range from sophisticated and subtle to explosive and extreme. Boasting a truly amazing array of instantly switchable sounds, overflowing with harmonically rich tones and responsive fluidity, every JVM mode exudes that unmistakable Marshall sound and expands on it, effectively offering multiple Marshalls in one easy-to-use package.
Ultimate Flexibility
Each totally independent JVM channel offers three footswitchable modes which progressively add gain while offering a complimentary tonal topology, making the JVM the perfect amplifier for any situation.
Seamless, Silent Switching
Ultimate Control and Connectivity
Every JVM is supplied with a fully programmable footswitch. This revolutionary, patent-pending technology allows single front panel switching (SWITCH STORE) or entire set-ups (PRESET STORE – Channel/Mode, Reverb, FX Loop, Master Volume) to be simply assigned to any footswitch . . . or, even cooler, a mix ʽnʼ match of both modes. Housed in a rugged metal casing with blank panels on its surface which allow the user to label the pedal exactly as they want, the JVM pedal has no restrictive factory set-ups or functionality barriers, plus itʼs a breeze to program. The multi-coloured LEDs reflect every front panel switch status so you know exactly where you are, in the heat of a performance, without the need to glance at the amplifier itself.
The JVMʼs MIDI In and Thru connection means it can easily be integrated in a MIDI switching set-up, allowing you to store and recall 128 amplifier set-ups and enabling your MIDI effects board to easily control the amp. With its built-in memory and switching options the possibilities are endless!
Studio-Quality Reverb
Effective Control
Each JVM boasts two FX Loops that live on its rear panel. A footswitchable Parallel/Series Loop with Level and Mix controls plus a Series Loop with a Bypass switch. Combine the JVM with a MIDI FX processor and a MIDI footswitch and the skyʼs the limit!
The Tone of the Cone
In the case of the 2x12 in. JVM combos, after exhaustive testing of every speaker available, all agreed that the pairing of a Marshall/Celestion ʽHeritageʼ with a Marshall/Celestion ʽVintageʼ was the only way to go as the combination produces a fantastic depth and breadth of sound while maintaining a tight, musical response and a solid low-end thump. In the case of the 50 Watt 1x12”combo, a Celestion G12B delivers a full, wide sound that is much "bigger” than the JVM215Cʼs compact size would suggest.
Every JVM is made at the Marshall factory in the heart of England. Time-tested craftsmanship and construction are combined with the latest advances in manufacturing technology, ensuring world-class build quality and roadworthiness.
Internally, the JVM circuitry and layout has been kept as simple and logical as possible, ensuring the integrity of the guitar tone and an incredibly low noise-floor for such a high gain beast. Four, double-sided PCBs are used and connections are kept to a minimum to ensure maximum reliability. Only the best components are used to ensure very high quality and all of the internal wiring and amplifier assembly is performed by hand. Strict quality controls ensure every unit made is worthy of the world-renowned and respected white script Marshall logo. Meticulous valve selection adds further to the all-important tone and reliability that are both synonymous with the Marshall legend.
