Lot Essay

Steve Prior, Jeff Beck’s guitar tech from 1999-2014, acquired this amplifier from Marshall in 2010 whilst Jeff Beck was recording his solo studio album Emotion & Commotion. Prior told us that ‘Stephen Lipson's (the producer's) one of these and his Tweed Pro Junior amp were in his studio and [were] used extensively for the Emotion and Commotion sessions. I then got one of these 1974x and a Fender Pro Junior for Jeff so we could continue working in other rooms (i.e. Trevor Horn's room) with continuity. So, both JB's and Lipson's amps were used.’
