Marshall Amplification 1992LEM - Manual (Page 2)

From Jim Marshall
Congratulations on your purchase of the 1992LEM Super Bass Head.
There have been many guitarists who have loyally used Marshall
amplifiers throughout their careers, none more so than my good friend
and rock ʻnʼ roll institution Lemmy Kilmister. As my way of saying thank
you for years of un-wavering support itʼs my pleasure to put his name
next to mine on his very own Signature Series amplifier.
This 100W all-valve amplifier has been based on Lemmyʼs most
favoured head out of his extensive 1992 Super Bass collection, an amp
he affectionately named Murder One. Made in 1976 it was this amplifier
that had been at the core of Lemmyʼs sound both in the studio and out
on the road for over 30 years, until that is we presented him with the
first 1992LEM prototypes. My R&D engineers have worked closely with
Lemmy in the development of this, our first Signature Series bass
amplifier, to ensure precise recreation of Murder Oneʼs tone and feel.
As frontman of the legendary hard rock band Motörhead, Lemmy has
toured the world performing to thousands of fans every night and
always with his reliable backline of Marshall amplifiers and huge custom
built speaker cabinets, a truly awe inspiring sight to behold. The
1992LEM prototypes were put through their paces during Motörheadʼs
2007 world tour and proved just as dependable as the ever faithful
Murder One (which is now enjoying a well earned retirement). Knowing
the 1992LEM could stand up to the most rigorous of challenges it
makes me immensely proud that the quality of tone, build and reliability
are still at the heart of our amplifiers.
I have met with Lemmy many times over the years and it was good to
catch up again during this particular project. Itʼs always a privilege to
spend time with someone who is as passionate about music and tone
as I am, particularly when they have found that tone in a Marshall
amplifier. You can read Lemmyʼs thoughts on the 1992LEM and
discover the story behind our long association together over the next
few pages of this handbook.
I sincerely hope that this Limited Edition landmark in Marshallʼs history
will provide you with countless hours of playing pleasure. I would like to
wish you every success with your new amplifier and welcome you to the
ever increasing Marshall family.
Yours Sincerely
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE
