Buying a new Marshall Amp? Get this one!

The 50W Plexi Reissue Marshall 1987X does a great early 1970s Metal Panel tone. In this clip we play the 2015 vintage of this amp with a bunch guitars and speaker cabinets like, Gibson Les Paul R9, Gibson Les Paul R7 Goldtop and Stagg EB3 bass, early 1970s Marshall 2x12 Model 1972B, Marshall 4x12 Model 1982B, 1982A, 1960A, 1935A and Marshall 4x15 Model 1979A.

Love my 1987X & I love those GBs in that 1972 Marshall 1935A cab Awesome Video thanks Johan.

WOW! You are not kidding! The versatility of this amp especially when then FX loop is used, is incredible. Great vintage tones, great modern tones, great clean sounds. There's not much to dislike in this amp. Definitely a real musician's work-horse amp as long as it's built as sturdy as the originals.
As always my friend, Johan, your videos are inspirational and absolutely educational. Your work and talent is much appreciated my friend!

This segment at 2:16 grabbed me by the b*lls and spun me around in my chair!! Damn that tone from 70's echoing in my head. Thanks John!

Ok....I did it. I bought a brand new Marshall 1987x!! 90% based on research from THIS CHANNEL! NOT joking. If I remember right...”...my absolute favourite amp of their current lineup.” $2, 750.00 CDN Loonies! Just grabbing the switch to turn it on and you know you’ve a professional, high quality amp. And a fire breathing beast! Thx Johan. 👍🏻

Thanks Johan, I just love the classic Marshall/Les Paul combination especially with the Di Marzio!

[leftyfusion]

Sounds killer. I'd love to see you demo one of the new Origin series 50 watt heads.

Having an effects loop is a huge bonus for these. I like running reverbs and delay and my '76 JMP just doesn't agree. You can make it work, lots of guitarists have, but it's a balancing act. I finally broke down and bought a Fryette Power Station that handles attenuation and has an effects loop. It works really well and makes me very happy.

I bought this amp a year ago with the help of your videos and I love it! Thanks Johan. you rock dude. cheers!

[BMIGuitarist]

Its all about headroom.
I used to use a 50 watt head 4 12 cab but todays clubs are smaller and the new Marshall 20 watt Silver Jubilee, retubed with a 2/12 cab sounds almost as good without the sound man hating you.
Johan has the best Marshall video's bar none.
Thanks Mr Segeborn.

OK… I haven’t owned a Marshall amp since about 1993. You keep making these videos that sounds good and I’m going to have to rethink my strategy. I probably don’t have your hands, but if I can get tones anywhere near as close as what you’re getting I’ll be more than satisfied. Another great video, sir!

[AbraMelin]

Are all these clips with the bright cap removed? I have the same amp and I am thinking about clipping it.

[MrDMF]

Just came across this vid randomly as I was looking at some amps....great vid! Wish more people would make videos like this. Quick & informative. Good stuff....and my god, those are some sick Les Pauls!

[richardmontgomery]

Thanks for including what you are using aside from the amp very helpful!

[bobbybaghdad]

Johan, why do you like this amp over the 1959HW?

[Red.be]

Ignoring the price, do you prefer this to the current 1959HW? How about the JTM45 and the JTM45 THW?

[TheArtofGuitar]

Does this come with any sort of footswitch?

[bolerkins]

Hey Johan, what do you think about the 90's version of the 1987x with NO fx loop ?

[SBArrow]

I recently bought a used 1987X reissue. I really like it and I can get so many great classic rock sounds from it. With a Marshall Power Brake I can play it at reasonable volumes in my house.

[dewwhatchadew]
