I'm a plexi fanatic. Always love playing through a cranked monster. Most of my all time iconic and favourite tones were produced by folks slamming a plexi, it's just got that certain something. Very interactive amp to play. My number 1 rule with a plexi is: crank the mids. You really make it work! Great demo.

[@scottnoricsson2023]

Yes, but do you know why? On a Plexi Mid knob controls upper mids plus it acts as a "Secondary " volume knobs. sort of ...I keep mine on 8

I have owned and played many amps in my life, from Marshall JCM2000's to 800's, Old Mesa's and Orange amps, but my 1994 Plexi reissue is giving me goosebumps whenever I plug my guitar in

[@EugeValovirta230V]

💪🤟🎶

[@Skoora]

I have a ‘75 50 watter and it’s the sound at almost any setting. I love amps and have several but invariably I’m always dialing them to sound as much like a 6 knob Marshall as possible. The only one’s I don’t is a recto family Mesa because I got it to actually be a recto and not a Marshall and another Mesa that is my defacto vox/fender amp. What I just love about the old/reissue Marshall’s, is you plug in, get the EQ up there and tailor the bass to how high you set the volume and then it’s just adjust Vol 1 until you’re in your desired sweet spot. Playing edge of breakup and need more body, nudge up Vol 2. Pick boost of choice and you will just have the most record/live ready rock guitar sound there is. Boost for gainy leads and heavier rhythms, no boost for a little more jangle and dynamic rhythms, volume roll off for a great clean. No voicing switches, power selections, modes, push pull’s and endless tweaking to get the mids and top end where you want them. It’s just there and ready to go in as much time as it took to let the amp warm up. If I could only have one amp it would be a 1987 or 1959 Marshall, hands down.

Gotta admit that sounds so badass.In my old age(57 yrs old)I got rid of most of my big heads.Kept my 2006 Engl Savage 120 and my 2002 Peavey Triple XXX.I have about 10 lunchbox heads now and my Fractal Axe FX,Quad Cortex,ISP Theta Pro and tons of amp sim plugs.My back thanks me.I toured in the 80's with 2 full Marshall JCM800 stacks and a 3rd stack as a backup.I threw my back out multiple times back in those days moving those mountains of amps.Never again.Cheers!

I think a master volume is a must and master gain is a very useful optional, though I have never played such a beast so I might be mistaken. This amp attracts me for some reason. Thanks for sharing. The light crunch and clean sounds are so good

I like your setup. I have a similar wall. Minus the cabs you've mic'd. I don't have the soundproofing to do that or the kick ass 4X12. I just have a budget 2X12 that sounds surprisingly good. Use mostly ir's at home though.

[@matthewtorossi8909]

Great playing. I own a 72’. Love it.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Thanks! Rock on!

[@tommiaapaoja2934]

If you have a vintage style SSS Strat, be sure to try the Boss DS-1 (yes, the orange box :) ) with the Plexi. DS-1 was the distortion pedal of choise for a Strat for the late, great Gary Moore. Well, I believe Gary's Plexi was a Super Bass instead of Super Lead, so it was a bit warmer and less aggressive. But probably, if you set the Plexi for a warmer, cleaner but already a bit driving tone, it'll be firmly in the ballpark. Possibly the bright cap might make things a bit difficult..or not.

[@12breacher82]

[@thesoundpurist]

Sounds amazing. Just watch a video of Robin Trower. Never go wrong with minimalistic gear. With all the amps and pedals imitations it’s easy to miss the point and not reach the sooner we have in mind. I had my fair share with gear acquisition syndrome over the years. I now stick to the basics. The only thing I don’t regret is a Classic S Suhr guitar I have. YMMV Ps.: I’m now raving for the Diezel VH4 (still might be a G.A.S hallucination). A Synergy head would have save me a lot over the years. The VH4 synergy preamp would be ok into the power amp section of 1 of my Suhr amps.

The for now out of production 1959SLP non handwired Reissue is a bit more aggressive than the handwired version (I guess I heard they are also aiming for different year specs - handwired 68 and non handwired 70s) Anyways, if you get the chance try that one also, it is equally insane 🔥

[@EugeValovirta230V]

[@marcpeiron_studio]

This sounds so good. I'm trying to match the tone with Softube's Plexi Superlead 1959 by putting everything at 10 like you but it sounds horrible, any clue why?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Cabinet, speakers and the miking plays a major part in the overall sound so most likely that. And Softube modelled the plugin using a certain Plexi which wasn’t mine. All tube amps, especially Marshalls, and especially (old) Plexis can sound a lot different from unit to unit.

[@GabrielCastellarTV]

Magical!

[@Hitemwhereithurtss]

Great amp and playing

[@wildolympic]

Did you rebias the tubes when switching to the Variac?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Yes eventually: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIqZoHWlj7N0icUsi=xHoBF6KLoG347jps

[@truescotsman4103]

I just wanted to comment. I like the jumper in the bottom I and top II inputs but I use the right II input instead of the left I. To me it sounds more modern and smoother but with equal amounts of gain. It's pushing the bass channel a little harder than the treble channel and there's only a very subtle difference. To me it's less harsh and sits in a mix much better. I feel it's more like EVH's early tone. The top I input is more George Lynch-Warren DiMartini style. Just my $0.02.

[@EugeValovirta230V]

Sounds phenominal, brother. I'm going to be getting a Marshall 1959HW like the one you have to add to my collection (JCM 900 Dual Reverb and a JCM2000 DSL). Can't wait to add this one in the mix. How are you running your delay? - Is it in the signal chain in front?

[@pakujewpiwnicy6701]

I have a Foxgear M-1959 and it sounds very similar

[@PS3271]

That is still the best sound. Cranked plexi. You always come back to that..Did you rebias forbthf 140 volts or not ?

[@EugeValovirta230V]

💪. Nope. I’m still messing with the Voltage and as soon as I’m sure what I like the most I’ll rebias the amp for that.

[@starblaster77]

Got Damn!

[@SadLonelyEmo161]

Is the amp for 230v and you run it on 140V? I told you before that will bring some problems. The heating voltages are critical for tubes because with to hi it burns down fast the heater of the tube and with to low it poisened the kathode of the tube. Maybee it sounds interesting but maybe you try to ask some one to get a stand alone heating transformer. Than you can try to put down the anode and grid voltages and not put down the heater voltage. Short the tubes suffer a lot from undervoltage at heaters !

[@riangarianga]

Both James Brown and Dave Friedman, whom serviced and inspected «The Legend», mentioned that EVH's renowned Plexi was a stock European unit, except the bias was set to work with that lower input voltage from the Variac.

Your video clears up in the myths about the brown sound ... EVH's first Marshall was a Non-export 220v model 1959 Super Lead 100 watt head just standing idle at a near-by mission or worship-house. Supposed to be used as a bass amp, but feeding a 220 v amp with only 110 v results in no sound whatsoever, as the sinus-curve at the output section will cancel itself out.
