Marshall JCM800 Solid State Schematics

Allthough these amps do not contain any tubes, I feel that the Marshall amps story is incomplete without men­tioning these amps. It isn’t quite clear to me whether or not these amps were actually part of the JCM800 range, as these amps don’t have the JCM800 logos, but they were included in the JCM800 catalog and they were manufactured in the same period and had the same looks and style.

3005 Lead 12 Micro Stack, 12W head

The 3005 was in production from 1985 upto 1991. It’s a transistorised Master Volume head and it’s the head version of the 5005 combo. It was produced in black, white, red and green vinyl. In 1987 (the Silver Jubilee year) it was produced in silver vinyl and a chrome face plate. The cabinets were fitted with a 10″ Celestion G10D-25 T3552 16Ω speaker.
