Blk 45 head (c.1965)

The BLOCKHEAD BLK 45 is an exact replica of a 1965 Marshall™ Block Logo JTM 45 amp. An absolute tone machine, with it's custom wound output transformer, heavy duty replica power transformer, Sino KT66 output tubes, Sino GZ34/5AR4 rectifier and JJ/Tesla ECC83 preamp tubes, and tweaked 5F6-A circuit.
There truly is no other amp available like this at any price, anywhere. Just one look inside, and you will see exactly where every dollar went in our development, and your purchase. Most, if not all, of the "boutique" amplifier makers use the same 25 cent parts and modern transformers that the mass produced amp manufactureres use. However, putting expensive "HiFi" type parts in your doesn't make much sense to us either. The key to our parts is finding the right component for the job.

SO, HOW DOES IT SOUND?
Just like the original!
