"This amp has your very own sound in it, find it and share it!"

Sound:

I was blessed to be able to purchase an original around '88 and from what I am reading, these new ones are identical,(although mine is kind of an off emerald green)and it is one bad motor scooter! It will rip your leg off and beat you with it while at the same time whisper sweet turn on's in your ear like only a Marshall can. I'm surprised the current government hasn't outlawed this model because it provides too much freedom of expression, now that's Marshall law! Matt Dentino, founder of The Shemps!

Feature:

Full Marshall stack roar to sparkling clean simply by the players choice to play aggessively or delicately all devoid of pedals and easily controllable with just 50 manic, yet well behaved watts.

Ease of Use:

It's all in your fingers from the heart, if you suck it will be evident on any amp, especially this one, so don't pllute it.

Quality:

This amp is a work of art and can be admired. It was made well, but you better baby it or you'll be back to your last crappy amp.

Manufacturer Support:

I've been using only Marshall since I was a teen. Yes, online, local Guitar Center.

Value:

Vintage reissue Marshall's are the best even though Jim admits that he designed his first amps after a '59 Fender Bassman. No comparison, they are Marshalls then there is every other kind of amp.

The Wow Factor:

Great question, that sound speaks for itself...I'm outta here.

Overall:

as long as there is electricity I will use Marshalls and drink coffee!

"Marshall 1987x reviews"

Sound:

This amplifier has it all, Its a real rocker, it is sweet in tone, ive never heard an amp like it before, its too hard to describe. You will need to run at least an overdrive through it because its extremely clean untill you get to louder volumes, even then i would call it a mild overdrive.

Feature:

non cluttered circuitry means tone to the bone.

Overall:

Overall i love this amp, you will find yourself playing with it all the time, Its also versatile even though it might not look so but bridging the two channels together results in a fender like tone but with more fatness. use your guitars volume control to clean up the sound, works a real treat, just f@#%$ng get one!
