This is the famous Lead 12 or model 5005 - this one was built in England in the early 1980's. It's in very good nick - a good, noisy, old-school amp.

Author of "The History of Marshall", Michael Doyle, said of it: "Naturally there are many modern Marshalls that can come close to approximating the Bluesbreaker sound but the most surprising one is the old 5005 (Lead 12) solid-state combo so beloved by Billy F Gibbons. He recorded such guitar greats as "My Head's in Mississippi" with this amp, and I am eternally in his debt for bringing it to my attention!."

Fitted with a 10" Celestion G10D-25 speaker. Features two inputs and controls for Gain,Treble,Bass,Middle and Volume.
All working fine and the 8 ohm speaker is in good shape.
