Marshall Lead 12 – (Model: 5005 – Year: 1990). Sympathetically modified to allow for an external cab to be connected.
Price: £120
Description:
The legendary Marshall Lead 12 is a phenomenal little beast. It was styled like its JCM800 series brother’s & sisters, and packs both nice clean sounds together with that iconic Marshall Lead sound!
This amp has been sympathetically modified so that you can switch between the internal speaker or plug in an external cab. This mod can be easily reversed with no damage to the unit.
The Marshall Lead 12 has become sought after as ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons admitted it was one of his favourite amps for studio tones and he used this on the Recycler album, these have built up a cult status in recent years. They have a very close tone to a Marshall JTM/JCM.
It’s a perfect amp for direct or low volume recording, playing in the bedroom or even for live sets.
You have tone for days, everything from a slight clip to full on overdrive.
Serial No. Y31989
Please note that when connecting an external speaker, the external speaker cabinet should match the Impedance of the internal speaker in order to avoid any issues. In this instance that is 8ohms. Whilst it may be possible to use an external speaker cabinet ‘one step down’, this we understand will make the amp run hot, and will eventually make the amp overheat and ultimately fail, causing irreparable damage to parts.
Condition: Used but in good condition for an amp 35 years old!
Price: £120
Shipping available.
