This Marshall is used for Eric Johnsons distorted tones.

"Switchable between 100 and 50 watts, this Two Rock Traditional Clean head drives Johnson's crunch rhythm sound. It's the only boutique amp in his setup, and runs into a Marshall 4x12 with 30-watt Celestions." From Premier Guitars Eric Johnson Rig Rundown 2018.

1969 Marshall Model 1962 Tremolo 50W. These original Marshall “Bluesbreaker” combos are very rare and this one is extra special having once been owned by legendary guitarist Eric Johnson! Features the earlier ’60s split front and “plexi” faceplate. Good condition with some tolex wear, missing part of the front Marshall badge and two added speaker jack holes on the back of the cabinet. This amp sounds huge and delivers that beautiful, touch-sensitive, harmonically rich break up that set the standard for overdriven guitar tones! An incredible piece for the player and collector!
