MARSHALL JMP 50
Marshall JMP 50 watt head and 4x12 30 watt greenbacks —According to Michael Doyle's The History of Marshall, "JTM" was printed onto the left side of the control panel of Marshall amps around mid 1967. In 1968, the amps began sporting "JMP" (Jim Marshall Products) instead of JTM. JTM, by the way, stands for "Jim and Terry Marshall." (Terry is Jim's son.)
The cabinets were updated in early 1976 to the larger Marshall logo. New vinyl, plastic corner protectors added, and the on/off toggle switches were replaced with illuminated rocker switches. The first Master Volume model was released in 1975, and was produced through 1981.
AMPEG PORTAFLEX B-15NB
The first Portaflex amp was formally introduced in 1960 as the B-15. The double-baffle porting system gave the amp what Hull described as “the creamiest tone.” At the time, combo amps were the norm, with all components housed in a single cabinet, but heat from the electronics often caused the amp to overheat and made the speaker fail.
Much like all of Ampeg’s amps, the B-15 underwent constant change, and the B-15 was replaced by the B-15N in 1961. In 1962, Ampeg updated the B-15N with a solid-state rectifier called the B-15NB and introduced their famous “blue check” vinyl covering to their entire amp line. Ampeg went back to a tube rectifier and changed to a printed circuit board in 1964 (B-15NC).
