Thank you for choosing Marshall and congratulations on the purchase of your British
made, all-valve, 30 Watt Astoria Classic AST1C combo or AST1H head. Our goal with
the Astoria Classic was simple: create a single channel amplifier with the purity of
hand wired clean valve sound, classic tonal function and contemporary switching.
We sincerely hope that your Astoria Classic will provide you with countless hours of
tone.

- The Marshall Team

Your Astoria Classic has been expertly
crafted and is designed, engineered and
constructed to the highest possible
standards at the Marshall factory in
Bletchley, England. Its all-valve heart
comprises of: 3 x ECC83 (12AX7) in the
preamp, a GZ34 rectifier, and 2 x KT66
in the output stage, which is cathode
biased with no negative feedback. This
is a characteristic of many classic,
vintage amplifiers.

The Astoria Classic combines a 100%
hand wired signal path with modern
Power Reduction. To achieve this
innovative marriage of authentic tonal
character and contemporary switching
capability the Astoria Classic uses
turrets mounted on the PCB – allowing
the hand wiring and the more complex
switching circuitry to elegantly co-exist
on a single board.

The Sensitivity control adjusts negative
feedback in the preamp, and the Edge
control determines how bright or dark
the amplifier sounds overall. To further
enhance your tonal palette, the front

panel Power Reduction pull switch drops
output power from 30 Watts to 5 Watts,
producing warmer, softer tones.

The Astoria Classic will appeal to purists
who want authentic clean all-valve
tone, and to boutique pedal enthusiasts
who will find it the perfect pure-valve
foundation for their sound.

The Astoria Classic combo features a
12” custom-voiced Celestion Creamback
speaker, as does the optional AST1-112
speaker cabinet, which is designed to
match either the AST1H head, or the
AST1C combo as an extension speaker
cabinet.
