The Marshall 1959 “Plexi” didn't just define classic rock — it practically invented the rulebook. Jimi Hendrix used one. Cream used one. The Who used one. And then they cranked it up.
The Marshall 1959 Modified takes that same distinctive DNA and sneaks in a few modern upgrades that the legends of the '60s would've killed for. This isn't a reinvention — it's the original, with better manners and a broader vocabulary. Built for players who want yesterday's tone and today's control, the 1959 Modified is the most versatile version of a true rock icon.
The original 1959 was glorious but uncompromising — you had to dime it to really hear what it could do. The 1959 Modified fixes that without touching what made it great. A new master volume control lets you coax those legendary, harmonically rich tones out of the amp at volumes that won't get you evicted or fired from the studio session.
If the original 1959 was a one-trick pony, it was the greatest one-trick pony in history. But today's players need range — from the warm, blooming breakup of a blues solo to the grinding, saturated aggression of modern metal. The gain boost switch on the 1959 Modified gives you both without compromise, opening the amp up to styles its predecessors never knew existed.
The 1959 Modified isn't just a great-sounding amp — it's a document. It celebrates the modified amp culture that has quietly shaped rock music for decades: players who took a great amp and made it theirs. Marshall has taken that same DIY spirit and made the modifications for you, building the most practical and versatile version of the 1959 that has ever left the factory floor.
The Marshall 1959 Modified brings the iconic tone that defined classic rock into the modern era — without losing its soul. Master volume control, two overdrive modes, and switchable tonal voicing give you more flexibility without messing with the magic. Whether you're chasing Hendrix's dynamic depth, Clapton's midrange bite, or carving out your own sound, the 1959 Modified stays true to one of rock's greatest amplifiers while giving you the tools to make it your own.
