A portable replica of the classic JCM800 which was originally introduced in the 80s. It offered more gain, taking you from clean to barking overdrive and soaring solos. With a roar rivalling that of the king of the jungle, the original is played by some of the greatest rock musicians of all time, so you’re sure to get amazing tones out of its smaller brother.
Similar to its larger V-Type counterpart, the VT-Junior speaker provides a harmonious and well-balanced sound. Its compact 10-inch size delivers a powerful low mid punch, a sparkling high end as well as extreme responsiveness that allows you to stay engaged with your music.
The Studio Classic Combo is built on tradition. Constructed at our factory in Bletchley, England, it effortlessly channels that classic Marshall spirit and is fine-tuned with our iconic detailing. The studio series has a similar circuit design to its larger, older brothers and even features some hand-soldering.
Seamlessly blending contemporary mechanics with traditional designs and construction methods, has allowed us to manufacture precise replicas of the vintage amplifiers that more than live up to the originals.

The Studio Classic SC20C is a portable homage to the legendary JCM800 2203. It delivers the genre-defining hard rock sound that shaped the 1980s, now redesigned in a compact 20W combo. Designed, engineered, and built in the UK, this amp allows you to own that iconic roar at volumes that won't level your house. Whether you're on a world stage or in a home studio, the SC20C provides the raw, aggressive valve tone that made Marshall a household name.
Iconic JCM800 Tone: The SC20C captures the essence of the original JCM800. From heavy, saturated cleans to the legendary "over-the-top" crunch, this single-channel powerhouse responds to your playing dynamics just like the original 100W beast.
Powerstem™ Reduction: Equipped with a power reduction switch, you can move from 20W down to 5W instantly. This allows you to drive the EL34 valves into that sweet, harmonic saturation at a volume level comfortable for home recording or practice.
UK-Built Quality: Manufactured in Marshall's world-famous UK factory, the Studio Classic series uses the same high-quality components and valve architecture as the full-sized vintage reissues.
Premium Speaker: To complement its aggressive voicing, the SC20C is fitted with a 10” Celestion VT-Junior speaker. It provides a balanced frequency response that handles high-gain crunch with exceptional clarity.
Modern Flexibility: Unlike the 1980s originals, this modern classic includes a series FX loop, making it easy to use your favorite delays and reverbs without muddying your preamp gain.
High/Low Sensitivity Inputs: Features two 1/4" inputs to help you find the perfect gain stage for your specific guitar pickups.
All-Valve Signal Path: Driven by three ECC83 preamp valves and two EL34 power amp valves for authentic, touch-responsive tone.
DI Output: Includes a 1/4" DI output for easy silent recording or direct connection to a PA system.
Five Speaker Outputs: Unmatched flexibility with five jack sockets supporting 4Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω cabinet configurations.
