From Marshall:

The two-channel 20 Watt Handwired 2061X is an authentic re-issue of the 2061 ‘Lead and Bass’ head from the late ’60s and early ’70s. And just like the original 2061, it produces that highly desirable, hand-soldered, vintage, all-valve sound in a compact small box design. The 2061X’s classic tone is produced by two ECC83 valves in the preamp, a pair of cathode biased EL84s in the power stage and a silicon diode rectifier. The solid-state rectifier gives the 2061X an aggressive edge, which makes it sound surprisingly contemporary.

Marshall have gone to enormous lengths to seek out and/or reproduce all of the original components and materials, plus revisit the original methods of construction they used back in the late 1960s/early 1970s. From the handwired tag-board circuit, to the custom-manufactured Dagnall output and mains transformers.

Secondhand but near new Marshall handwired box. The 60 Watt 2061CX is a hand-soldered, 2 x 12” cabinet designed to be matched with the 2061X™ handwired head. The 2061CX has an authentic vintage look, and is unusual for a 2 x 12” speaker configuration in that, although smaller (650 x 665 x 305cm), it has the look of a 4 x 12” cab. The 2061X is loaded with two 30 Watt Celestion® reissue G12H-30s.
