Product Description
Here for sale is one guitar rig that screams. This is not for the faint of heart as it is incredibly loud! There is less than 100 of these produced in the world.
Crank the gain on this beefed-up tribute to Randy Rhoads.
The Marshall Limited Edition Randy Rhoads Tribute Full Stack includes an all-tube 100W Super Lead head modified to the exact specifications of Rhoads original amp. Rhoads family unlocked the vault to Rhoads amp and allowed Marshalls engineers to diagram the original modified circuitry. The engineers duplicated Randys modifications exactly for the 1959RR. In the 1959RR the inputs from the normal channel feed through the input of the high treble channel, giving the amp the high-gain that Rhoads wanted. Make sure you play this amp right — crank it up!
Behind the Tribute
As a fitting tribute to Randy Rhoads, the 1959RR head is not only visually identical to his legendary Marshall, it is also sonically identical as well. When Randy ordered his now famous white head, he
visited the factory to pick it up and had it modified for more gain while he was there. Thanks to the Rhoads family, one of the Marshall engineers
was allowed to take a detailed peak inside Randys original head (wisely kept under lock and key) to ensure that the Tribute amp was electronically identical to it. As a further bonus, the Marshall test manager who did the modification was also consulted. The mod in question? It simply cascades the two halves of the first ECC83 tube, giving you a lot more preamp distortion than in a standard 1959 Super Lead head. Channel I (the High Treble channel) remains "as is" but when you plug into Channel II (the Normal channel) both Volume controls (I and II) work together in tandem (series) to produce the increased preamp overdrive desired.
Randy was so happy with his visit to the Marshall factory and the amp he left with that he actually wrote "I went to the Marshall factory and ordered my own amps, I had them beefed up and modified there, I got them in white!"
Cascade mod in depth
Unlike a standard Marshall 1959 Super Lead amplifier, the Randy Rhoads model contains a modification that increases gain and therefore extra
distortion within the circuit. This modification hot rods the amplifier making it easier to push it into the saturation levels necessary for the sound that Randy needed. The change involves cascading (feeding the output of the first stage into the input of the second stage) the two halves of tube 1. Traditionally, each half would serve as input buffer/first gain stage for the two channels, i.e. one half for channel 1 and the other for channel 2, from there they would separately feed the respective signals to the next stage which would mix them, further amplify them and feed them to the tone stack. Cascading tube 1 results in the guitar signal being increased by around 36dB or
60 times, much larger than it would normally be at this point in the circuit. Subsequent stages then try to amplify this larger signal by similar amounts and quickly run out of headroom causing the waveform to distort severely. The two channel volumes still remain functional after the modification but adopt different roles for their affect on the tone,
allowing control of the extra gain and volume. Plugging into channel 2 routes the guitar signal through the whole cascade circuit while
plugging into channel 1 allows you to bypass the cascade and use the amp in its standard format where Volume 1 will function as it normally
would. Standard Channel 2 format is sacrificed due to the modification.
