Frequently Asked Questions
5881s offer a smoother, slightly warmer tone than EL34s, contributing to a more mellow, vintage-voiced character – a key element of the original JTM45 sound.
It’s present, but subtler than later Marshall designs; it primarily affects the high-frequency response, adding clarity and bite rather than aggressive treble.
A Celestion Greenback or a similar voiced speaker will really unlock the classic JTM45 tone, providing the right amount of grit and responsiveness.
