Sounds great! My favourite circuit. Your amp sounds so good. The cleans are glass and the drive tones really cut. Eddy your passion is evident. Wishing you great commercial success! Go Eddy!

Hi Eddy, what was your amp setting at 1.20? Did you engage any pedals then? The tone is lovely! I just bought my 1987x yesterday and I’m trying to dial in that sound.

@EddyLenz did this amp still have the stock 4700 bright cap when you recorded this?

[phillamoore]

Jesus…this amp is ALL…OVER the map in terms of how it sounds. This happens to sound really good…..especially with that SD-1 to tighten it up. There’s a video floating around of someone doing almost this exact demo, only using a Jackson Dinky and it sounded astonishing….borderline like Fair Warning (which, aside from Ratt-Invasion) is the perfect tone). I still think he either doctored it up via a DAW, or this amp is extraordinarily sensitive with what guitar you use, because I’ve never see another demo of this amp that sounds like that. But, this is relatively close. Usually the plexis sound a bit flubby or fizzy, until you mod them. Well done.

Hi Eddy love this clip, do you have any preference on attenuator thats available now? Thanks!

[LuisMesaOfficial]

Have you ever had any trouble with the indicator light ? Every time I touch mine seems like it has a false contact or anything, It turns off but the amp is still working.

Awesome Eddy, I have this amp and they’re great

I have a 1987x from 1995 had it serviced last year but have lots of hiss on the bright channels, are you using a gate?

[chazzrobbo]

Has the Jose mod been done and did you video it? It sounds great as standard!

[rockstaradventures]

looking at video you have all the presence and treble and mids dimed! bass cut back, how did you tame all the highness and not make it sound shrill since your only in the high channel?

[mikemunro]

Sounds great, I’ve heard the power amp section of 1987 is the same design as the 2204. Is this true?

[kylemortson]

How’d you get it so clean? My goes from 0 to bone crushingly loud distortion between 0 and 1.3

[rocker]

That amp sounds good, how do you bias your tubes?on the hot side?

[szymonszymanski]

Awesome demo! What speaker and mic did you use?

[KINGMAGNETIC]

will any new marshall 1987x sound this good? Idk why but i always thought the older modded stuff would sound way better but this sounds great on it's own

[andybird]

Eddy ... I’m really looking forward ... to play my lenz amplification modded plexi :-))

[hauntedchannel]

at 1:40 did you put your guitar volume all the way up

[matttornetta]

sounds awesome 😎 it’s a shame you’re going to mod it.

[glennsteen]

Ah! So this video is the stock Marshall 1987x? 🤔

[helenboepple]

i dont understand why you would want to mod this tone
