Marshall Plexi 1959SLP 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head

In this interview with Kurt's guitar tech, Earnie Bailey, he explains that Kurt used a Fender Baseman Quad and a Marshall Plexi 100 during the "In Utero" recordings.

"Marshall SLP-1959 100-watt amp which was modded with KT-88 tubes, which boosted its output to 200 watts."

"These heads were at Woodstock. I repainted them for some other show back then. We call these the Dookie mod and also the Bradshaw Gain mod. This gauge is the front end and puts on the master volume. The SE lead mod adds a tube to it for even more gain. The way we run the heads is really all the knobs pretty much straight up and the master and gain at 10 o'clock. You turn it up any louder or any more gain it doesn't really sound that great. And Billie's tone is really not about tons of gain. It's actually cleaner than you would think it is. His technique playing and using the pick is more about where the sound is coming out of. I mean he'll turn the guitar down and clean it up then pop it back up," explains Hans, the tech for Billie Joe Armstrong.

"This one goes through a tape delay. It gives it some fullness. It has a browner sound. It's on all the time," says Dan Auerbach's guitar tech about the Marshall Plexi 1959SLP 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head.

This Marshall Plexi Amp was used by Stevie Ray Vaughan for live work.

Used extensively since the early 70's until the 90's, when Peavey started making signature 5150 heads. All the knobs were usually cranked up on 10 except the reverb.Usually used 100 watts, and the 50 watts were backups.

"We have two Marshall Plexis, one is a '69 and one is a '70. The '69 Plexi has the KT-66s in it. I listen to them every day and determine which one I want to use. This is his main and the other ones are his backup. The '70 has the EL-34s. This is the backup Plexi," says Joe Perry's guitar tech. (These Marshall Plexi amps are the 1959 model,but were built in 1969 and 1970, respectively).

For quite a while now I have been using the Marshall JCM800s, the re-issues and even some old ones if I can get my hands on them. We have been using the Kerry KIngs as well, just for the clean setting. It has just a little bit of a different sound, but it’s really cool. Joel has been using the 1959 SLP and the re issue one, plus we take a couple of DSLs on the road with us too.

Donna Uses a Marshall 100-watt Plexi Reissue with a 4X12 cab

"A couple of my guitars in Europe have EMG pickups and they sound good with particular Marshalls. I have a Marshall SLP reissue and it sounds really good with my stock pickups on the Standard. Some of my older Marshalls need brightening up, so they sound better with the guitars that have EMG pickups. I go back and forth depending on the way the Marshalls are acting that night. They can be finicky."
