Iain Ashley Hersey's Marshall 100 Watt Plexi Head
1969 Marshall Super Tremolo 100W
This 1968 Marshall 100 Watt Super Tremolo 'Plexi' head had been heavily modified by its previous owner Iain Ashley Hersey - it has now been fully restored and tested by our 'wizard' amplifier technician, Doug Anderson of Tone Zone. This is a really great and super powerful head. The following modifications have been noted: The loop has been disconnected; The two top inputs (one on each channel) have been disconnected; The push-pull switches have been disconnected; the Tremolo Intensity control has been disconnected and the Tremolo 'Speed' control is now the 'Master Volume' control. We also note that one of the potentiometers is dated "137 7834" (CTS August 1978). This 100 watt Marshall Plexi Head was owned and used by the late Iain Ashley Hersey who grew up in New England and cut his teeth on the heavier British Rock Bands such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Bad Company and guitar players like Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. He was certainly influenced by the voices from the past and he always strived to grow musically and to develop his own style - which he most certainly did with his own unique voice and signature licks. Later seeking to expand his musical vocabulary he studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston where he expanded his realm into that of Jazz improvisation, eventually though he returned to the fold of Rock ’n’ Roll. Iain's albums include: Fallen Angel (1999), Holy Grail (2005), Nomad (2008) and Vintage Love - The Best (2011). (Full details upon request). #1937
