Everything I've ever read, including info from Dave Hunter, said the 1st Marshall (which I'm assuming is the JTM45, perhaps I assume wrong), was ALMOST a direct lift from the Fender 5F6A Bassman.
A quick google:
The Bassman was so impressive in its day, that Jim Marshall selected it as the template for his own JTM45 of 1962.
The Marshall JTM45, which is almost a direct copy of the 5F6A... differences most notably the substitution of a 12AX7 in the first preamp, an additional bypass capacitor in the bright channel for the lead model, and triple the negative feedback voltage to the phase splitter.
Whatever, doesn't matter... back to the 6G6-B...
