BW&BK; has received the following press release:

To honour the longstanding relationship between Marshall and MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister, the Marshall team has created a Signature Series amplifier that takes its inspiration from Lemmy's very own modified 1992 100 Watt Super Bass unit, 'Murder One'. The result is an amp that delivers sublime tone combined with shear volume and crushing power, all wrapped up in a rugged, over-sized cab.

To ensure that the end product would be exacting in its tone and performance, every effort has been taken to source components from their original suppliers and/or manufacturers. Internally, 1992LEM's circuitry has been modified, effectively creating a hybrid amplifier by merging the characteristics of a stock 1992 Super Bass with elements of a Super Lead. The outcome is a bass amp with incredible sonic depth and unbelievable tonal range.

The changes to the circuitry allow you, the player, to achieve a far brighter, tighter sound whilst the inherent grit and raw strength of an un-modded 1992 model can still be found in abundance when called for. The power section is driven by four EL34 power valves that produce 100 watts of unrelenting, mind-numbing volume and tone.

The attention to detail that has been lavished on the 1992LEM's internals has also been applied to the unique styling and distinctive look of the amp itself. Aspecially made red protective corner has been added to the amplifiers to mimic that of their forerunner, while the Marshall script logo and brushed gold aluminium front panel are flanked by replicas of 'Murder Ones' iconic golden crests.

Finished with white piping, chrome sockets and a hard-wearing handle, this amp continues Marshall's proud history of creating products of the highest order, both in terms of tone, performance and build quality.
