Marshall Studio 900 Combo
Marshall’s JCM900 fueled the sound of countless rock and metal acts in the ’90s, ruling the airwaves with its bright and aggressive bite — the Marshall Studio 900 combo packs that iconic sound down into the brand’s compact, modernized, and ardently accessible Studio lineup.
This true tube combo amplifier wields dual ECC83 preamp tubes, an ECC83 phase splitter, and two 5881 power tubes, offering all the high-octane tube/solid-state hybrid saturation of its 100-watt inspiration at a far more stage- and studio-friendly 20-watt power rating. Two channels are on tap with remote footswitch control, along with a 3-band global EQ, global Presence control, extensive gain-shaping knobs, and an onboard spring reverb to impart a touch of space to your sound. Moreover, while the Marshall Studio 900’s tone and aesthetics authentically pay tribute to the mighty JCM900, this amp matches its modernized Studio series siblings with 5 and 1-watt power scaling modes, a top-class effects loop, and a speaker-emulated DI output. Capture the sound of the ’90s and enjoy all the modern-minded benefits of the high-performance Studio series with Marshall's powerhouse Studio 900!
Tube warmth, solid-state clipping
While the original JCM900 was a true tube amp through and through, its valve-fueled circuit sported a secret weapon to turn up the high-gain heat: clipping diodes. This design essentially packed a dirtbox directly into your amplifier, allowing you to savor the sounds of both true tube saturation and stompbox-style aggression. Marshall’s Studio 900 matches its predecessor with a similar design, resulting in a hard-hitting hybrid tone that blends all the warmth and complexity of a valve-driven design with the bite and reliability of solid state.
Loaded with all the player-friendly features you need
The Marshall Studio 900 sports a plethora of updates on the original JCM900, along with a smattering of modern features that the ’90s could only dream of! You’ll enjoy cranked-amp tones and screaming saturation at any volume level thanks to the Studio 900’s 5- and 1-watt power scaling modes — all but a prerequisite for apartment-dwelling guitarists and a boon for any musician with volume concerns. Next, the onboard effects loop makes it a breeze to integrate your favorite time-based and modulation effects. Prefer to record silently? A speaker-emulated DI output sends your sound straight to your audio interface or PA with ample authenticity.
