Marshall Amplification 4100 (JCM900) H Handbook page 2

From the Chairman
I would like to thank you personally for selecting
one of our Marshall JCM 900 valve amplifiers. For
over three decades my company has been
dedicated to the design and manufacture of the
finest amplification systems in the world.
By 'listening' to guitarists from all over the world
we know that their needs are constantly changing,
demanding more from their amplification.
The only way to cope with these new demands is
to invest into the research & development of new
models capable of fulfilling their ever more extreme
requirements. This investment has led to
remarkable innovation within our product ranges
over the years.
In all the JCM 900 models there are degrees of
innovation to give extra high gain, wider tone
control and greater connection flexibility to provide
you with the widest possible sound variations.
In addition the incorporation of new circuitry and
the unique 'output valve protection circuit' has
increased the renowned Marshall reliability even
further.
I wish you great success with your new amplifier.
