FAUX SNAKESKIN FINISH

Classically styled in white faux snakeskin to match with Bernie's legendary past.

GAIN WITHOUT GAIN

There maybe no gain control, but this amp packs a serious natural punch.

REBUILDING A CLASSIC

Carefully rebuilt from Bernie's original amp of 1978, you can now replicate that classic Bernie Marsden sound.

1959HWBM

The limited edition 1959HWBM replicates the sounds of Bernie’s original plexi from 1978. It’s finished in white faux snakeskin and premium leather style piping. 

Alterations have added gain to the normal and high treble channels giving it a grittier tone. The mids have been adjusted to provide more control of the frequencies at higher mid levels. Finally, the global feedback in the power amp has been adjusted to allow more expression and punch.
