The classic 60s Marshall sound in a super clean JTM-45 MK II 30 watt head with some very welcomed upgrades. 

This UK built Marshall has been modded by reputable Sydney amp maker Pete Reynolds of Reynolds Valveart, in what’s known as the “Skunkworks” Mod. Externally this presents as two push pull knobs - one for bass and one for mid. 

The modifications are best described by Pete Reynolds himself:

 “The [stock] JTM45 - compared to the original it comes with increased filtering, wrong value components in some places and 6L6's instead of KT66’s… We put the component values back to stock, chuck some choice bits in here and there, fit KT66's and then make the Bass response switchable as well as the overall EQ shape. As we all know, the JTM45 was a direct knockoff of the '59 Bassman - Leo didn't have humbuckered guitars...so when you hit 'em with a big signal they are prone to a bit of flatulance. The Bass switch thing tightens up the bottom end making the amp bucker friendly. The EQ switch changes the EQ to the later JMP configuration - the mids jump out more and give it that typical Marshall “Kerrrang!". So the switches make the amp pretty versatile guitarwise and tone wise.”

Cosmetically this amp is in almost new condition, but sounds better than new! This is a great amp for someone who wants the best in vintage Marshall tone with added flexibility. A great all round British made JTM-45.
