1972 Marshall Super Lead 100W Amplifier Head and 4x12” Cabinet - Used

This Marshall Super Lead 100w head and cabinet were built in 1972 in England making it part of the last documented area of hand-wired Super Lead models ('73 began the introduction of PCB construction for these models). Overall, the amplifier is in rough cosmetic condition, but this does not affect the functionality or sound of the amplifier/cabinet.

The head is missing the Marshall Logo, but still retains the original markings, serial number and control markings. This amplifier has been modified with a pre-phase inverter master volume means the amplifier's master volume section is pre-eq. Additionally over time the amplifier has needed repairs, some were done recently, other were done during its long history. Most recently the head has had all 3 preamp tubes replaced, installed a 3-prong grounded power cable, replaced the master volume mod potentiometer and knob, as well as cleaned all pots, jacks and biased the amplifier. Additionally, the main filter capacitors and the power transformer have been replaced. This repair was not done while the amplifier was in our possession.

Included is also the original 4x12 Speaker Cabinet from 1972 dated 1 month part from the Super Lead 100 Head. All 4 Celestion G12H speakers are original and still present in the cabinet. One of the speakers had a cone tear that has now been repaired. Overall, while this amplifier is not the most original example available, this Super Lead has mojo, functionality and an overall great sound. Though the power transformer and filter capacitors are non-original, this particular Super Lead sounds excellent and is a great representation of the classic Marshall sound with the added bonus of output volume control.

Good condition all around.
