The Celestion 100: A Rockin’ Tribute to a British Audio Icon
A Throwback to the Golden Age of Rock
The Celestion 100 pays homage to the iconic Studio JTM amplifier that launched Marshall into rock and roll history. Designed and hand-built at Marshall’s Bletchley factory in England, each amplifier echoes the classic aesthetics of the original, with a creamy exterior, contrasting black panels, and the signature metal “coffin” logo.
A Symphony of Vintage and Modern
Beneath its retro facade, the Celestion 100 boasts a contemporary twist. Inside, it features the same classic tube setup as the Studio JTM, with two ECC83 preamp valves, two 5881 power amp valves, and an ECC83 phase splitter. However, it swaps the original 12-inch loudspeaker for Celestion’s artisanal 100 Alnico speaker. This custom-crafted driver delivers a powerful low end, a warm and punchy midrange, and crystal-clear highs.
Limited Edition Collectible
Only 100 Celestion 100 amplifiers will be produced worldwide, making it an exclusive collector’s item for music enthusiasts. Each amplifier comes as a head and cabinet bundle. The price tag of £2060 reflects not only its rarity but also its meticulous craftsmanship and premium materials.
The Perfect Fusion
The Celestion 100 is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Celestion and Marshall. It seamlessly blends the classic tones and aesthetics of the past with modern technology, resulting in an amplifier that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
