Think the UK G12T-75's were quite good in 92 compared with the ones we have today ,...sounded fuller IIRC .

Awesome! Is there "best year" for these?

Congrats! Great amp for sure! Many people love this amp. The 75T sounds very good with the LM/LE 6100.

Congrats @FracStrat, that’s a beauty!

Here’s the scoop on the versions ……

just to point things right with the 6100 amps, these had been made:
6100LE (blue with brass chassis- limited to 800, EL34s)
6100 (blue - no brass chassis, no limited batch but only build in 1992, EL34s)
6100 (black with EL34 build in 1993 - 1994/5)
6100 (black with 5881/6L6 from 1994/5)
6100 LM (black with 5881/6L6, LM=Lead Mod which means more gain in the 3rd channel)

the 800 LE version is thought after, but if you wanna play this amp, watch out for a black 6100 EL34 from 1993/1994. these amps rock! and there is enough gain on the 3rd channel.
didn´t like the sound with the 5881 in this amp and never understood why marshall did a gain mod on the 3rd channel. never had the feeling, that there was not enough gain.

1992 marked 30 years in the amplifier business. To commemorate this milestone, Marshall released the 30th Anniversary series of amplifiers, the EL34 powered 6100LE with commemorative blue covering and brass faceplate, chassis and even valve covers. It was followed by the 6100 (in blue tolex and still EL34 powered) , ‘93 started the mixed run in Black ( EL34s then later switched to 5881s ) and then in ‘94 the 6100LM (in standard Marshall livery but now 5881 powered like the JCM900s of the time). All versions of the 6100 had three channels; clean, crunch and lead. The clean channel featured a mid shift, which gave the option of a more "Fender-like" voicing, and the crunch channel featured three modes recreating all the classic Marshall crunch tones of the past three decades. The lead channel featured a switchable gain boost and a mid-range contour switch, which gave it the tone and gain levels, which Marshall's engineers hoped would keep it competitive in the high-gain world in the early to mid-1990s. In fact some players felt the lead channel was perhaps the weaker link in the amplifier's arsenal, and it came in for the LM revision in late ‘94 (the LM standing for "Lead Mod"). This revision featured even higher gain.

Is there a matching tie / cuff-links for that?

The Crunch Channel does a Helluva Job producing that 800 tone …… Only had a few minutes messing with it through the G75T 1960 cab so far …… My God there is a lot of stuff this puppy can do !!
