Marshall amplifiers have always been the forefront in the sound of rock n' roll.
Since the early 1960's, Marshall has taken simple circuits and turned them into
extraordinary, high wattage amplifiers that to this day, continue to define tone.
With the introduction of a small 18 watt combo in the mid 60's, Marshall took a
simple circuit, a great looking cabinet loaded with Celestion speakers, and built
an amplifier legendary for great tone. And although this incarnation lasted only
four production years, its impact continues to live on.
This British 18W kit is our nod to that original 18 watt, 1x12 combo. With turret
board, point-to-point construction, quality components, and just a touch of
American upgrading, this kit is ready to become your sound.
This construction manual has been designed with both the beginning and
experienced kit builder in mind with an assembly time of 6 - 12 hours. With
ample photos detailing every step and numerous modification suggestions, all
levels of builders will enjoy not only the process but also the finished product.
But before we get started, a safety review …
