Presentation
The Park P18H is a compact tube head that hides a sound much bigger than its size. Inspired by the legendary circuits of the Marshall 18 and the WEM Dominator, it combines two legendary worlds in a single amp, with Mitch Colby's tweaks to bring the sound to life.
Thanks to its two channels, Cascade switch and EL84 tubes, the amp can go from precise clean tone to meaty saturation, while offering the possibility of combining channels for more aggressive gain.
Its adjustable power range - 18 W, 7 W, 1 W or even 0.5 W - means you can play in all situations without losing character. Even at low volume, the sound remains full, precise and expressive, far from the hiss or artificial compression often found on small amps. Channel 2 adds a gentle, foot-controlled tremolo, perfect for creating ambience or subtly modulating your playing.
To fully exploit its potential, the P18H can be perfectly combined with an Alnico Blue Vintone 12" speaker for a lively, punchy sound, or a Celestion Greenback for the warm, vintage colours of 70s amps. Its EL84 Radio Spares output transformer ensures a faithful, responsive sound, true to the spirit of classic British amps.
The P18H provides a complete and inspiring playing experience: from delicate clean tones to punchy rock saturations, always with punch and body. Its compact head form makes it easy to integrate into any setup, while retaining the authentic, flexible vintage sound for which it is renowned.

Jim Marshall is best known for running a shop where local musicians could meet, swap and try out equipment. He sold his amps worldwide under the Marshall brand, but in the UK he used the name Park Amplifiers. The shop served as a valuable testing ground for new products and kept Jim in touch with the exploding UK music scene. Park amps, often described as 'a bit hotter', are highly sought after in the UK as they are much rarer than their Marshall-branded equivalents.
Mitch Colby has devoted his life to working with Marshall Amplification and has spent a dozen years perfecting the Park range. He's taken the best existing circuits and painstakingly recreated the original sounds and tonal signature of Jim's early days. In addition, Mitch has designed four new amplifiers to carry on the spirit and incredible legacy of Jim Marshall and the Park Amplifiers.
