Trusted musician and artist reviews for Marshall 1987x 50 watt head

This is the iconic Marsall plexi sound
Equipped with EL32 tubes it will sound bigger than a JTM45 or any other 6L6-equipped amp. It might be only 50 Watts butin clubs it is not a useful amp. After 2 it starts to scream. Do the bright cap mod and you will have a vintage Marshall sounding amp.
