It comes with a non-original cover.  I love these heads - so much old school tone for the money here!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JTM45 circuit is one of the most historically significant amplifier designs in electric guitar history, tracing directly to the early 1960s Marshall designs derived from the Fender Bassman. This reissue, dated 2018 by serial number, uses a GZ34 rectifier tube and a pair of 5881 power tubes — a combination that produces the characteristic sag, bloom, and warm compression associated with the original JTM45 topology. At 30 watts through that rectifier-driven power section, the amp sits in a dynamic range well-suited to pushed, touch-sensitive clean-to-crunch response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Model 2245 JTM45 MKII Reissue faithfully reproduces the plexi-era circuit in a compact head format. The cabinet is Baltic birch plywood in original black tolex with a rubber handle, all original and in excellent condition. Dagnall supplies all three transformers — power, choke, and output — matching the specification of the original-era builds. The output transformer carries date code 1840018F. All three transformers are original to the unit. The chassis is metal, original, and in excellent condition. Preamp tubes are 3 x ECC83 branded Marshall; power tubes are 2 x 5881 branded Electron; the rectifier is a GZ34 branded Marshall. Potentiometers, knobs, filter caps, and all chassis components are original with no internal repairs or changes of any kind.  We cleaned the tube sockets and pots and tested all the tubes to make sure everything is good to go on arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no repairs, changes, or issues with this amplifier. The cabinet is in excellent condition, the chassis is in excellent condition, and the covering is original throughout. No internal repairs have been made. The power cable is included. A Studio Slips cover in very good condition is included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate: 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWhere Is Date Noted?: serial#\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 32lbs 7oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDimensions: W 26.1\" x H 10.4\" x D 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWatts: 30 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover Brand: Studio Slips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Material: tolex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Color: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Material: Baltic birch plywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Material: metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Repairs\/Changes: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Material: rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Manufacturer: Dagnell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Manufacturer: Dagnell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Date Code: 1840018F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChoke Transformer Manufacturer: Dagnell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChoke Transformer Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePedal Included?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRectifier Tube: GZ34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRectifier Tube Brand: Marshall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Tubes: 2 x 5881\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Tube Brand: Electron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: 3 x ECC83\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePreamp Tube Brand: Marshall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePotentiometers Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFilter Caps: original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInternal Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Cable: included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAccessories Included: cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDocumentation: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSmells?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\"\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/amps\" title=\"Vintage and used guitar amplifiers at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-fender-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Fender guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eFender Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/gibson-guitars\" title=\"Vintage and used Gibson electric guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eGibson Electric Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/effect-pedals\" title=\"Vintage and used effects pedals at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp; Used Effects Pedals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy completing your purchase you are agreeing to this shipping policy.
