Synergy Marshall JMP All-Tube Preamp Module

From the moment rock ’n’ roll exploded onto the scene, one name has been at the heart of its most electrifying moments – Marshall. For generations, Marshall amplifiers have defined the sound of the electric guitar, pushing music to new heights and shaping the very essence of modern rock.

From the soaring blues-rock of Eric Clapton and the incendiary performances of Jimi Hendrix to the seismic riffs of Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen and Angus Young, Marshall’s unmistakable roar has been the foundation of legendary tone.

PJD Origin Pro Series Guitars In The Works

Introducing the PJD Origin Pro, distilling the UK company’s no-nonsense approach to guitar building into affordable offset & single cut models with striking finishes & figured tops. Tone-wise, PJD have stuck to their guns on PAF-inspired classic tones that offer pristine cleans, but a bit of bite when pushed. Here’s what Leigh from PJD says: “The PJD origin Humbuckers have been voiced with our Standard Humbucker models in mind. The Bridge pickup has a medium output allowing a good balance between clean and gain tone, whereas the Neck pickup is comfortably in the vintage PAF range, allowing for beautiful and vocal clean tones as well as juicy blues.”
