Check out this 1969 Marshall Major that was professionally modified by legendary amp designer Mike Soldano.


Originally introduced as Marshall's most powerful amplifier, the Major delivered a staggering 200 watts of headroom and became the weapon of choice for players seeking massive clean tones, crushing volume, and endless sustain. Used by icons such as Ritchie Blackmore, Mick Ronson, and John Entwistle, the Marshall Major has long held legendary status among collectors and tone enthusiasts.


What makes this amplifier especially unique is its modification by Mike Soldano, one of the most influential amplifier designers of the modern era and creator of the iconic Soldano Amplification SLO-100. Soldano's amplifiers helped define the sound of high-gain guitar tones in the 1980s and beyond, influencing countless players and builders throughout the industry.


The result is a fascinating combination of two worlds: the enormous iron, power, and authority of a vintage Marshall Major paired with the expertise and circuit refinement of one of the most respected amp designers ever to pick up a soldering iron. The amp delivers the huge low end, commanding punch, and unmistakable presence that made the Major famous while benefiting from Soldano's thoughtful modifications.
