Marshall JMP 50W Lead - Original VS Reissue!

In this video I compare the current Marshall 50W JMP Reissue (1987X) to an original from 1970. I'm using a Gibson les Paul 1959 Standard reissue and a 1968 Marshall 1982A 4x12 Cab.

Two things I am always reminded of when I watch this channel: 1) 80% or more of your tone is your speaker cabinet, 2) Johan is awesome.

Excellent head-to-head. It's nice that you can get such solid sound from a reissue. Thanks for demonstrating them at different levels too

The reissue 1959slp and 1987x are both great. A lot of people rule them out without actually trying them. They are both killer.

The Marshall 1987 circuit changed sometime late 71/72, gain was increased substantially. The re-issue amp was voiced on this later circuit.
I have a 1987 dated May '70, 95% original, very similar to the one in this video. The amp is clean up to 4, breaks up until 7, then gain increases dramatically.
I also have a '76 JMP 50 which is a total gain monster, with different midrange focus.

Got migraine headache but still have to watch this video oh, it's just too good to miss the debut

Hats off to Marshall for making a stellar reissue of a bonafide classic.

I’m glad you compared the reissue to a 70’s amp, since it was based on a 70’s style JMP.
A 1987x reissue vs 1967 plexi would’ve been unfair

[vayabroder]

Incredible how similar they both sound; really like the sounds you got even in clean mode.

I've a close friend who's been collecting vintage amplifiers since the 1980s. He let me borrow a early 1970s 50W JMP of which I fell in love with.
When it came time to return it I went out and purchased a 1987x and couldn't be more pleased. The only real difference is I've a modern cab/speakers which don't sound as nice as the late '60s 1960A Cab w/Original Pulsonic cone G12s. As with most amplifiers the speaker/cab combination is where most the magic happens (IMO).
Great demo Johan, thank you.

I'm surprised how much I like the reissue. Sounds fantastic. Sounds like it has more gain on tap.

[rockabilly]

Man, I just love that mix! I can't stop grooving to it!

[MarkPhillipsLGM]

The best amp comparisons on the planet are done by you Johan !! Always great content and riffs. Let’s go !!

[bobboitt]

Both sound GREAT. I had an original 1970 years ago it was a killer amp 50w plenty of power!

[aronhallam]

look at Johan knocking back Carlsberg like there's no tomorrow on a Wednesday haha

[taxo]

Hi! Today we're gonna check out some really badass sounds, like those you hear in all my videos but you won't ever get by your own :P

[angeloraddi]

You always amaze my, your guitar riff are simply and beautiful the spirit of 60 /70 rock !

[andreas]

I have the 1987x and I am not surpriced that it sounds so good compared to the original. I also have an 1969 1982B, but I haven´t tried that combination yet. Inspiring!

[andrewgarcia]

played through a 1970 50w and it blew my mind

[jogo]

The reissue really holds up. I have one of my own and it is really tons of fun!

[dennisflock]

Incredible tone goodness. Love them Marshall amps.
