Marshall JMP 50 MKII 1974 Metropoulos Rebuild

This is a rebuilt 1974 Marshall 50-Watt non-master volume JMP 50, done by George Metropoulos.

If you know George and his builds, you know he is a modern authority on all things vintage Marshall. Sometimes he runs into old Marshalls that are too far gone to save original transformers, and the best route is a complete rebuild.

This has cream of the crop components like Mercury Magnetics ToneClone transformers and choke, beautiful lead dress and a WONDERFUL master volume done by George-- added on the front panel, and the presence knob moved to the back panel.

The result is a vintage sounding Marshall with the ability to maintain bedroom volume and still have all the authority and punch without killing your ears. I really don't know how George does these master volumes, but its the best I've played to date.

I've been lucky enough to come into a plethora of vintage Marshalls over the years, and this is simply the one getting played the least.

Think of this as a Metropoulos build FIRST.. with the obvious cool touches of the original Marshall headshell, panel, and the occasional original Marshall component or resistor. It is NOT an original-condition 1974 Marshall. The original headshell is quite the rarity and worth a bit on its own, but George's builds are world-reknown as well.

Also George has sadly and recently closed shop, so here's a chance to get a rare piece of his as time marches on...

I added the white Marshall knobs.. they come with the reflector caps, but I will also throw in a set of standard reissue black/gold Marshall knobs.
