The epitomy of Marshall achievement in technology and construction these two systems must represent the highest standard of development in instrument amplification. No expense has been spared to bring to the music world two amplifiers of stunning power and facilities. The Marshall factory gives thanks to all the guitarists who have helped with the design of these amps - they have literally been designed for musicians by musicians.

The model 2000 is a lead guitar valve amplifier rated at 200 watts, but giving a minimum of 250 watts before distortion, and much, much more after distortion sets in. It features two independent channels, a mix input, footswitch channel swapping and LE.D. selection indication.

Channel A is designed to produce the sound readily associated with the Marshall 1959 type amps, but with lots more power and gain, giving a distinct bite right up to phenomenal volume levels.

Channel B has a master volume control and features a variable sweep middle control enabling the best sound to be achieved out of differing guitars.

The valve pre-amps have impressive effects-circuitry with three variations. Effects can be patched into either channel independently or collectively, and the pre-amp jack socket will connect it to other systems.

The valve power amp features both jack and XLR loudspeaker connectors and is variable between 4 and 8 ohms. A further XLR connector carries a 600 ohm balanced D.l. signal complete with earth lift switch for connection to a mixer desk. Mains input is through a locking cannon connector.
