Custom 1980-Marshall-Club-and-Country-4140-Tube-2x12-100-Watt-Guitar-Amp-UK

Up for sale, a 1980 Marshall 4140 Club and Country guitar amplifier in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This 100% original vintage Marshall is fairly unique among the UK company's offerings of the era, and while designed to compete with a Fender Twin, the amp surely has some sweet, saturated tube overdrive on tap as well. Pushing 100 watts through a matched quad of EL34 power tubes, the 4140 boasts two distinctly voiced channels with High and Low inputs for each. The tone stack is surprisingly Fender-esque on this amp, and the Reverb is perhaps the best we've ever heard on a Marshall, with incredible depth and splash. The cleans are very detailed and round, with crisp note attach and a complex, balanced sound. Rolling back the Master and cranking the preamp gain does produce plenty of saturated chunk as well, especially with humbuckers. .

The circuit retains the Drake original transformers as well as the stock pots and tone capacitors, and the chassis is very clean. The power tube quad sounds great and has been properly biased as well. In terms of the speakers, the stock red frame 80w McKenzie 12" drivers are intact and sound great.

Cosmetically, the amp is very clean, with original smooth brown tolex and straw (wheat) grillcloth. There is one small slice on the tolex on the top of the amp that you have look close to notice The oversized raised Marshall logo has a few cracks but is still intact, and all of the original knobs are present on the minty faceplate. Both back panels are intact as well, and even the stock quad of casters, original cover and footswitch are included!
