Components have been numbered for reference purposes only.

All capacitors are rated for at least 400V unless otherwise noted.
All resistors are rated Watt unless otherwise noted.

Notes:
1. Some 18Watt Marshall combos came equipped with 1Meg Volume and Tone
Potentiomenters (R30, 31, 34, 35).
2. Components with more than one value (R5, C2, C3) are the result of production variations.
The differing values listed have been observed in authentic unmodified examples of this
amplifier circuit. Experiment!
3. Capacitor C4 has been intentionally omitted from the numbering scheme. Stop looking. :^ )
