help Marshall Astoria Custom FAQ
Is the Marshall Astoria Custom a one-channel or two-channel amplifier?
The Astoria Custom is the single-channel high-gain member of the Astoria range. The Astoria Dual is the model with two footswitchable channels.
Can the Astoria Custom be used at home volume?
Its power-reduction control can lower the output from 30 watts to about 5 watts. Five valve watts can still be loud, but the control makes power-stage drive more manageable than at the full setting.
Which power tubes does the Astoria Custom use?
The Astoria models use a pair of KT66 output valves and a GZ34 rectifier. That valve complement helps separate their response from EL34-equipped Marshall models such as many JCM800 amplifiers.
Was the Astoria Custom made in Britain?
Yes, Marshall built the hand-wired Astoria series in the United Kingdom. The range appeared in the mid-2010s and included the Classic, Custom, and Dual as heads and 1x12 combos.
