The BEST Amp In The World (Marshall 1987X)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Check out some music I've recorded with this amp: kzbin.info/aero/PLNaLwTdlpQNHKlg8ALZfM3AINC20WMp8s

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I am 78 and I am using my 3rd 1987. I bought my first in1971. Being full time doing original material both in America and the UK I sold the first 2 when twice I needed airfare. I literally bought a Friedman IR-X days ago. I am getting it dialed into a close proximity of the my PLEXI. I got it to do the job of a modeler. I have many small health issues. The worse 2 are fatigue and slow healing from the inevitable small injuries from being my own roadie. I will keep my PLEXI. there may be the odd gig over the year where it is feasible to use it.

[@Eliminator-rl9sn]

I sold almost all my Marshalls (JVM, JCM etc) and have a lot of digital stuff now. But one old guy is going to stay with me forever: the 1987x. For me the absolute reference for classic rock sounds.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Yeah, I'm keeping mine as well :)

[@AmericanNationalist852]

I sold all my amps to go digital (FM9)... and now I'm here, 4 years later, looking to buy another new amp and cab 😅

[@Eliminator-rl9sn]

@@AmericanNationalist852 Had the FM9 too. Very complex unit. And the amps change their sounds with updates of the firnware. Although this may be right from a technological perspective, I want to have a consistent sound. The 1987x does not know anything about updates 🙂

[@IsakuItou]

Fucking loud for home use though..

[@looneyinkproductions-eduard]

Makes total sense, the things you say… I can’t beat that, though I prefer a Vox AC30 topboost (sorry). What cabinet (speakers) are you using?

[@TheCyberianWonder]

This amp's theme song is Whitney: I'm Every Woman, It's All I Me. The 1987 Plexi demo is lit. Truly brought out the best this amp has to deliver. Thanks, Elmo! Love the way you play

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thank you :)

[@K3v0P3N80]

After watching TPS and Elmo I bought one of these beautiful Amps. It is stunning to look at and even more stunning to play. Instantly gave me the sound I was looking for. It is heavenly!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cheers!

[@rhythmofblues]

Thanks....awesome. My 71 Plexi has been my no 1 for many years. I use a motherload to attenuate and/or send signal to desk. Best in the world:)

[@kevinmadden1164]

Just bought this amp last month, here in Canada. Paired it to my Marshall bottom with 2 Greenbacks and 2 G12T's. Without question it's the best amp I own and the best pedal platform I have ever worked with. Can't wait to start recording with it. Thanks for the video, Elmo. I completely agree with every point you made.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cool bananas 😊

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

I knew this would be an Elmo fave. I totally agree. Nothing feels (or sounds) as good to me as a Marshall. Underrated cleans and amazing overdrive. I have a one watt combo JVM from the 50th anniversary series and the clean channel on full volume is glorious. Because it’s one watt you can really enjoy it.

[@toptopovaxiv]

It's so nice to see someone engaging with people on tone questions...especially on IG

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

This is also by far my favorite amp. I did this Thin Lizzy thing years ago w/ some friends in LA. I borrowed a 1987x that was modded by a company called Splawn from Virginia, USA which featured an extra gain stage & push/pull knob in one of the input spots to engage it (built in stompbox), which I didn't even need. I literally EQ'd it backstage by eye in a few seconds & naturally being the amp that it is, it was perfect once on stage and cranked!! Rock ensued, and a good time had by all. It gives me anxiety thinking of how SOFT this world is now that people run and cry at the sound of an amp cranked to painful levels hahaha.....I thought this was rock n roll, not patty cake!!! Keep shredding, Elmo. You rule ✌️🤘

[@tommyandcyndi]

Cool story. Splawn, however, is slightly northwest of Charlotte, NC. Good company.

[@plefevre]

I had a 50W plexi in 1985 and stupidly, stupidly sold it. The guy who came to buy it pulled out the jumper, picked up my Les Paul, turned it up to 2 and started rocking. I was shocked, I'd never run it like that and it sounded awesome! I almost stopped him right there and changed my mind. Should have pulled the pin, it was awesome.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Sorry to hear.

[@peskypesky]

I love that Marshall sound. I should get that 20-watt you mentioned.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Yeah, that one is very good.

[@Aidenbro-s2k]

I adore Plexi amps. Took me a little time to get used to it, they are very unforgiving to play, and they can be very hissy and noisy..... But the sound is just so good! I agree with you, the loop is mandatory as far as I'm concerned, I run a little reverb, delay and noise reduction in there.

The 1978-79 JMP Marshall master volume are the best amps to me, still whaiting for a reissue on those amos, but they only do JCM 800's becase they say its the same amp, but irs Brighter sounding. The 87x is the perfect pedal platform, now there are so many really good DIRT BOXES out there that amp makes good sense.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Fair enough.

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

@MrPolevaulter i go to you're channel for demo's because you always use the good Marshall amp sound, other amps are not useful to me. I play Marshalls 🤠💯👍

Great demo Elmo, thanks! I dig the SV20H, needs an attenuator but sounds great. Plenty loud for me.

[@robertprice5039]

Unfortunately, the Marshall 1987X is pretty expensive in the USA. So, am usually using ether my 65 Amps Whiskey, 65 Amps Lil Whiskey, or my Friedman Dirty Shirley Mini. All have the Friedman Buffered Effects Loop, which I love. I was interested in trying out a JHS Black Box, but for now I am relying on a Catalinbread Reverb's Volume Control, which is always active if in Buffered Mode. The 65 Amps both only have a master volume for their dirt channel, so I wanted a way to control both channels' volumes on the fly while playing at a gig.

[@fastacesus8499]

Great review. I think these are the best you can buy for the money from Marshall. Super versatile unless you need clean clean. But give me a dirty edge any day.

@ I use a massive pedalboard with a lot of different effects, so for me, the effects loop is essential. It’s a shame because the amp you were talking about sounded interesting.

[@hootowl6354]

The effects loop should have a level control so you can play it at low volumes and maintain your tone. My Splawn has that and it works brilliantly. With that and a Master Volume I have total control over volume and tone.

[@anorexorc1st]

They put out the 1959 reissue at the same time as this one. I have it. From around 2006. It also has the FX loop. It isn’t the greatest. But I don’t use a loop anyway. But all of the PCB Plexi reissues have the added FX loop. Only the hardwired reissues lack this.

[@MrPolevaulter]

The 1959 reissue that they sell now doesn't seem to have an effects loop.

[@Steven-re3tx]

Best amp ever is a vintage Hiwatt. I run a DR 504. It takes pedals magnificently. JUSTSAYIN'.

[@epasternak4206]

Both Marshall and Hiwatt in my opinion are the best.

[@ltxr9973]

I agree, best amp in the world, together with the 2204. And I agree on the FX loops, absolutely love those Marshall reissues have them. People can be snobby about it as much as they want, I like being able to have a little of delay, reverb and an easy way to use just the power amp section of the amp in case I ever need that.

Fantastic amp and probably the best amp Marshall is making today. I am waiting for them to become available they seemed to be sold out now...but this will be my next amp. The treble and normal Chanel on 10 with that Les Paul style guitar, just beautiful crunch sound. That would be the way i run this amp, and then just role down the volume for cleans. Stick a boss sd1 in front for leads and you are set. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@bullinobull5158]

It is.

[@MrPolevaulter]

😊

[@viggogrendahl1]

I agree. 1987x is the second best amp before Engl E650 RB signature.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Fair enough.

[@phildem414]

I analysed the loop circuit and now I understang how this can work without PPIMV: Zener diodes! This is simillar to the famous 80's Jose master volume. There is two pair, one before the opamp loop out (yes oamps...) and one pair after. Quite clever! Twin inverted zeners breakup simetricaly, very similar the tube phase inverter distortion. So you can have distortion before or after the loop. It is also the reason the little black amp(plain passive voltage divider pot) sound so good... Kind of ironic to get a cool vintage style tube amp and the magic is solid state😅 Isn't it also the case for the Silver Jubilee 🤔

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks for the explanation. Not sure about the Silver Jubilee.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Great info and videos sir. Yeah, I haven't owned one, but I have played thru one. I love the DSL 40 which has the master volume. The volume box you're using just turns down the power amp by bypassing the preamp of course using the loop, but you don't get the compression and sag or whatever people call it with the power amp. I've had many different tube amps, and the preamp of course shapes your tone, but the power amp gives you that creamy Gary Moore ( probably spelled his last name wrong ) tone which I love because of the sustain and harmonics, etc. I grew up in a time where people like Ted Nugent used hollow body Jazz guitars ( Gibson Byrdland ) to play loud loud Fender amps or later Marshalls and he also used Peavey 5150s later . He sounded best though I think on his first couple albums with loud fully cranked Fenders which had loads of headroom and you had to turn them all the way up to get distortion. 😂... Amps and guns are the reason my ears just balance my face because they shure don't help me hear anymore. 😂 at the Tender age of 63. 😂 I used to be young and handsome. Now I'm just handsome. 😂 Great video my friend. Great channel. Your playing is top notch. Have you ever jammed with Teemu or however you spell his name with Megadeth? That guy can really really play❤.. He's like a machine man ❤. You can tell he really really has put in the time ❤ The tone on those amps is just stellar. Absolutely great man ❤.... Be well my friend and stay warm up there in Viking land my brother. ❤

[@mrt7476]

I agree - best rock amp ever made. The only problem is the lack of headroom - there’s no way to boost the amp for solo’s, as it runs out of headroom past 2 on the Volume. I need to use my Boss TAE with 1987’s, just to be able to get a volume boost for solo’s. First world problems, of course 😊

[@liys540]

3:45 What about ox box ?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Never tried it. It's pretty expensive.

[@leem8681]

I agree and it sounds more original than Bogners or a SLO 100 and not inferior to the boutique league with a comparable small price tag! Get one used blow 1000 Euro and if you need a master put a log 100k Pot in an effect housing into the Effekt loop and you could als use the head with bedroom levels. Great great amp!

[@AndrewTait-f2w]

The best amp in the world as far as I'm concerned is the Laney L-50H, best Marshall I ever heard, flat out, hands down.

[@RickMichaelis63]

Hands down Marshall plexi 59 SLP best amplifier ever made

[@ollieguitarman]

The amp is good but for me, playing 90% at home completely impractical. I prefer my Bogner Atma. It goes to 1 watt, which is still too loud for home, but you can turn it down and the basic sound is excellent and has many more possibilities. For me, the Plexi are primarily a cult! The amps nowadays (just like the electric guitar) are much more advanced, more practical and better to use....i have an JVM410 to.....very good marshall - fo rme the best marshall ever.....flexible and best high brown sound from marshall ever - but only for me....

[@GuillaumeVrac]

As for rock i would choose a Marshall plexi but as for more polyvalent and cleaner stuffs i would maybe choose a Fender Deluxe.

[@smithfield06]

Amazing amp, great playing but my personal fave is the fender 60s twin reverb

[@MrPolevaulter]

Fair enough!

[@2TrackMind-c6i]

I had the 87 Silver Jubilee 50W stack. It gets my vote over anything else. Very basic, just add pedals, but it's core was all crunch and broad voice range. best amp for guitars with humbuckers. The 87X is a great amp, though - especially for guitars with single coils.

[@icanhandlethataustralia]

Great video. New bridge pick up?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks! No, I haven't swapped any pickups in ages.

[@John_Doe657]

I think there is some substance to your argument. A 50W generally sound better then a 100W when it comes to tone, a 100W+ is more about power. Also i agree on the FX loop, it is essential for my setup. Another thing to understand is a higher wattage amp gives more headroom, turning upp an amp with less wattage will just sound like a smaller amp that’s loud.

[@HRHPOW]

Elmo you're not the only one "for me." I suppose I will have to go to a store and just see about me. I have the 100 one. The prices have come way down though lately. Marshall went to crazytime prices getting greedy around COVID fiascos. Some other cool dudes like you like this 87x too. I see the effects loop is what it has. So can you put volume box. What is really good in the front of the amp then if your doing all the reverb delay and v box. I have heard you do about that v box before. It must be good if your talking about it agian. I think the v box is digital and so is the effects loop, so it should be a perfect form factor match and that is why it works so well. Using a analog v box like a big expensive one probabld does not sound good but that little digital v box is a perfect form factor match. I will be shopping around for a 87x and just get one to check out. I bet used I can get one somewhere with smoking hot deal. Thank you for your level headed cool videos with great practical information for us everday musicans and dreamers. There is nothing quite like a plexi jacked up. I have a Super Duchess that is the most awesome amp for my Fender single coils. Its my amp for single coils. It is just like dreamy lush glass thump shake the hair on your head with reverb and tremelo built in. Victory Amplification Super Duchess. I bet your familiar with one.

[@careybradfordguitar]

Buy a Friedman if you want a great Marshall

[@vfrbike]

Doing like this it sounds ok but you miss the drive from the phase inverter...try a mojo mojo overdrive in the loop instead...it's really clean and transparent but you can adjust bass treble and also the additional drive you want😉 I also have a 1987x...great amp❤

[@TheMartinmed]

Sorry this is very strange... Its ok for you, you like to use it like this. But if you like to use "classic" plexi overdriven sound, you need to overdrive preamp, and poweramo to. Only way is very loud .. If you reduce volume pre input, you lost all... And need pelals for distortion. And dont need plexi I think. Did I miss something? Only way is power brake, if dont play stadiums only.. 2nd thing - in this crank setup, effect loop is pre power amp. So reverbs delays pre this distortion. Maybe its ok, but its good to know and test it and play with it.

[@makinganoise6028]

Id agree with you, too loud for most gigs, my 2nd valve amp was a modded superbass, 100 watt, thing was a weapon, with metalzone in the front, only gigged it, sold it on when moved on, that was the 1980's, could crank up and had roadies, nowadays, mainly gig a katana 100, rarely go past 50 Watts, and can rock up carrying 2 guitars and the amp straight from the Car on one trip, I can could see the one you have there being a good studio choice, and a no fuss option amp for gigging, but the 20 probably loud enough, get 2 and have a dirty/clean combo

[@guitarrablusera]

1987x lo uso con un atenuador weber, no mucha atenuacion , depende del lugar, y en espacios mas chicos SV20H ambos con caja EV15" o 2x10" EV , casi sin bass solo canal bridge y un pedal over para solos. Saludos!

[@Mick-f4e]

Volume attenuation before the power amp seems pointless. The reason you want volume from a Marshall is so you can crank the power tubes and get them to distort. Using the Little Black Amp method of volume control, you are never going to achieve that. Driving the pre-amp sounds bad.

[@kuitaristi3003]

Hyvä, mutta mun mielestä 100W 1959 Super Lead on paras. Tuota pystyy käyttään myös 50W jos irroittaa pari pääteputkea (kunhan muistaa myös ohmit kääntää esim. 16ohm kaappi 8ohmiin silloin) , ja JTM45 soundeja saa myös irti jos käyttää kanavia linkitettynä ja pistää enemmän volaa normal kanavalta kuin kirkkaalta kanavalta. Kuitenkin aika samaahan tämä ja 100W kuitenkin on loppujen lopuksi, mutta itse tykkään vaan 100W soundista enemmän.

[@jamiemascola6614]

With our without the loop, a 1987x is built a LOT more reliably, and in a more service-friendly manner, than the 20W SV20. No PCB mounted power tubes. And no board mounted pots. Might seem minor, but these are consistent failure points in all tube amps. And they are much more expensive to service and/or repair than their flying-lead equivalents.
