Looks like a new JCM900 Studio version and some pedals in some Instagram teaser posts.

Here's a Guitar World article with vid links.

“A new take on a classic”: Marshall teases the release of a modded JCM, as a new era for the legendary amp brand beckons

The British gear firm is preparing for its first NAMM in five years – and it looks like a new range of effects pedals is on the cards, too

It’s already on their page.

I'm gonna go for the Studio 900.

5881 power tubes.
Although, I would assume cathode bias - so whatever tubes you want to swap in.

They have a new modified 1959 that sounds to me like early EVH from the clips.
All of the new amps are made in England.

Yes, I believe they are the US version of 6L6 tubes. I do have left over KT88s and 6550s that I bought for my SC20 that I might try. I also like the 20/5/1 watt switch on the back panel, a feature none of the other studio amps have. I'll be able to crank it without adding another stage to my John H. ...and it also has built in spring reverb, another feature none of the other Studios have.

For me 5881 all the way.

Did you order one Steve ?

I almost pre-ordered one earlier, but I want to trade for it so I have to wait until they're in stock.

Interesting, I would like to get one but I think my days of buying amps may have come to an end. I just don’t need it, I still want it.lol

Finally a different guy playing the 900! The guy Steve talk a lot.

 

[67plexi]

Most of my amps are 100 watt I like tight bass and clean headroom but to loud for the small stages in my town
yes the stages got smaller so I switched to a pair of 50 watt with master volume I'm using vintage Drake 784-139 output transformers
from 1968 a friend found a sealed case of 12 in Italy and sold me a few they have the sound
found this video today

Isn’t every amp idea stolen from someone ?
I wouldn’t call it stolen. Copied.
Amps are not rocket science.

 

[Seamus OReally]

When I was still playing through an Egnater Rebel with the variable wattage dial, I was amazed at how little effect dialing it down from 20 watts to 1 watt had on volume. It largely changed the way the amp felt, but 1 watt was damn near as loud as 20 through that Red Fang speaker.

I’m still a sucker for a small 20 watt head.

Anderton's vid comparing the new amps with the Marshall demo guy (cued up to the 900).
A bit of talk about the difference between 100w vs. 20w sound.
Whole vid is good for a watch.
