forgot spec...handbuilt by martin at martamp

It’s basically a Marshall type preamp, with 2 x 6V6s instead of EL34s, so it gives about 20w instead of 50w.

It also has a mode switch, which reconfigures the preamp from “Plexi” (early JTM type preamp) to “Ali” (later JMP metal panel preamp). The Plexi mode does fantastic cleans, and a nice juicy, bluesy crunch. Ali mode tightens the bass for a better hard rock sound.

Pretty much as you would get with the difference between a JTM45 and a JMP50
...sweet

I've played that amp a couple of times and it does sound great ,a proper "little Marshall".  Enjoy it!

Great amp, I looked at his site yesterday (as he is one of the few official power scaling guys in Europe).

I would also LOVE some clips.

Congrats - a magnificent amp !!

Strangely I've got a pair of 6V6's just waiting to be put into either my 1987 plexi or my 2204, which would be very similar in tone to your amp I suspect.
  This is all unless I sell both the amps first , of course ! (personal amp dilemmas again !!)

It really looks like a great amp.  Also it sounds like it will be really practical (I love 6V6 amps - they have just enough power to kick without going overboard, and they have a really sweet driven tone).  I can see that I might have to pay a visit to see the martamps at some point when I am back home!

Looks very nice!


It's an unusual colour but it goes well with the gold panels.  :)

Think Martin makes his own cabs

Post by: Twinfan on June 07, 2008, 10:33:21 AM
Some cabs are made by Jeff at Matamp and some are made by Martin - it depends on what you're buying  :)
