By the end of 1965 a production of 40 amplifiers and 100 cabinets per week was unable to reduce the growing back orders. Demand, fueled by the appointment of a distribution company, exploded. The world was crying out for more Marshall.
Throughout the 1960's the Marshall sound powered the most influential and original guitar players. From Pete Townsend with The Who, Eric Clapton with his distinctive Bluesbreaker tone, to Ritchie Blackmore with Deep Purple and the greatest ambassador of all, Jimi Hendrix. With his prodigious guitar talent, he used the power of Marshall as a creative tool and as an extension to the instrument itself.
By 1975 the first transistor heads were introduced, followed by the first Master Volumes in 1976. Guitar styles soon adapted to squeeze the most from this extension of the Marshall sound. Here began the quest for gain which continues to this day.

MA SERIES –The MA Series is Marshall’s most accessible range of valve-driven guitar amplifiers ever.

The MA100C benefits from separate equalization stages for both the Clean channel and Overdrive channel allowing you to optimally adjust each one without compromising the other. An extra benefit has been provided in the form of a valve driven 'Boost' function on the OD channel giving you, for example, a solo boost with more volume and gain.
