Orange, Red and Purple Elephants and Levants

Hello Fretheads we are of course talking about Marshall Tolex. Marshall and Park products produced in coloured tolex are on the whole worth more than their plain black counterparts.



This cool little Park 6 watter was one of those made by Marshall for Grattan's catalogue in the late 60's and early 1970's. Between 1967 and the mid 1970's Marshall offered Red, Orange and Purple amps like this little Park right up to the mighty 200w PA amps. This included such cool amps as Mercury's Capri's and of course the so called Plexi's and Master Volumes which makes them pretty collectable indeed. The earlier less pronounced grained Tolex from the late 60's is called Levant, the one with the deeper grain was named naturally 'Elephant'. All in all I think they look pretty cool and def have that retro 60's and early 70's vibe.

Until next time fretheads!
