Congratulations on your purchase of this handwired re-issue
of the model 2061 20 Watt, all-valve Lead and Bass 20 head.
The original versions of this wonderful sounding amplifier were
produced between the years 1967 and 1973 and are now
highly collectable. This authentic reiteration of the 2061 is part
of an ongoing series, which will feature handwired re-issues of
revered historical Marshall products. The reason I have decided
to do this is simple – public demand!
One of the things I love doing most is meeting and talking to Marshall users at the many trade
shows, music fairs and shop appearances I do all over the world every year. A subject that almost
always seems to come up in conversation at such events is hand-wiring. In fact, over the last few
years so many people have asked me to please start building handwired re-issue products that
I’ve lost count! One of the most frequently requested vintage Marshall amps to appear in such a
guise is the model 2061X head you have just bought – hence its inclusion as one of our first
handwired re-issues.
Like a great many vintage Marshall guitar amplifiers, the 2061X is relatively simple in terms of
controls, features and circuitry, but sounds and feels fantastic. To recreate the tone and feel of the
original 2061, as well as its eye-catching good looks, my team of designers have gone to
enormous lengths to seek out and/or reproduce all of the original components and materials, plus
revisit the original methods of construction we used back in the late 1960s/early 1970s. From the
handwired tag-board circuit, to the custom-manufactured Dagnall output and mains transformers,
I am extremely proud of the incredible accuracy and authenticity of this re-issue.
I sincerely hope that this handwired piece of Marshall history will provide you with countless
hours of playing pleasure.
Yours Sincerely,
