With the
Marshall Studio Classic SC20C White Elephant Grain
, Marshall delivers the legendary sound of the JCM800 2203 in a handy studio format. The Marshall Studio series amplifier, manufactured in England, draws up to 20 watts of power from its double EL34 power amp for rehearsals and jams, while the switchable Low Power mode limits the power amp output to 5 watts for rich sounds at room volume. Here, the classic single-channel circuit with master volume offers the classic response of the role model from clear clean to rich overdrive sounds. Visually, the compact Marshall Studio Classic SC20C White Elephant Grain Combo presents a limited White Elephant Grain Design from the Marshall Design Store.
Especially for use in studio environments, the Marshall Studio Classic SC20C White Elephant Grain Combo offers additional connection options for effects and recording devices. The switchable effects loop on the rear panel allows additional effects devices to be looped between preamp and power amp, while the DI out allows the signal to be passed on for monitoring or recording purposes. The integrated Speaker Emulation also provides authentic Marshall sounds in a direct way.
As the most important sound factor of the single-channel amplifier, the Marshall Studio Classic SC20C White Elephant Grain Combo features an extremely wide-ranging 3-band equalizer, whose controls for bass, treble and midrange determine the basic sonic character of the sound, from clear 'scooped' sounds to the familiar mid-warm Marshall leads. In addition, the compact Classic Combo has a presence control, which influences the treble reproduction of the power amp and provides additional treble bite if required.
The combo version of the Marshall Studio Classic uses a 10" Celestion V-Type speaker, which was specially made for the series. The speaker with ceramic magnets combines the advantages of classic vintage speakers with modern construction methods and provides an enormous radiance especially in the high mid and high frequencies. Even when played at higher gain settings, the Celestion V-Type's sound remains rich and clear.
