Marlboro G-40R
This Marlboro Sound-Works solid state combo amplifier seems to be made in cooperation with Hohner International; German
company (best known for their harmonicas and accordions) which still makes musical instruments nowadays. I don't know how Marlboro and Hohner were connected, but there seem to be quite a few of these out there. The Marlboro badge is different from the classic one and there is also a ''Hohner International'' badge at the bottom of the cabinet. But the writing on the back sticker, the speaker and front control plate says ''Made in U.S.A.''.
I would like to thank Thomas, who sent me these lovely pictures.
They are clickable so the amplifier can be seen in full detail!
Specifications:
- Model no. G-40R
- 3 Inputs: bright, normal, mellow
- Controls: volume, bass, treble, reverb and tremolo
- 240 volts, 50 Hz
- input watts: 37 W
- 12'' Marlboro special design M12Q speaker
- Made in U.S.A.

GREAT SOUND IN ITS PLACE
Quite some time ago, as i searhed the internet for Marlboro related articles, i stumbled upon a magazine advertisement from the company's glory era. I later discovered that there are more of them available on ebay! They include some witty slogans and some information on specific amplifier and speaker models. If you are a collector or simply interested in a piece of amplifier history, you can buy the original ones here.
