I understand the 65 is a 4x10 while the other two are 2x12's. One thing I would like to know though, is what are the tonal differences between them and why Marshall only made them for such a short period of time. Were they trash? Or limited runs? Or maybe it was just time to move to the next model.


The 1961 and 1966 2x12 cabs appeared in the late 80's and were made for the mini stack line. They also had G12-75's. Not a great sounding cab and kind of limited since it was for small head boxes that were also discontinued.

If you really dig Marshalls, I recommend buying the History Of Marshall book from Doyle.
