Marshall Vintage Reissues Sound Exactly Like the Original! Though the 50 Watt 1987XL shares the same front and rear panel features as its big brother, the 1959 SLP, it does have its own distinct personality. Sweet warm singing sounds are packed into every nook and cranny of this great tone machine. Marshall 1987XL Features: Part of the Marshall Vintage collection Mix two channels together at once for a totally unique sound New series effects loop feature Vintage Marshall through and through Marxhall Vintage Series The main characteristic that these amps share is their simplicity of operation and superb natural valve tone. Achieving the beautifully organic and vibrant overdrive which is their trademark, can only be done in one way - crank 'em up! The result is pure, majestic tone uncluttered by unnecessary circuitry. With solos this produces a big, round, warm, sustain, full of classic character. With chord work you get a bark and percussive attack with a natural sounding break up, which allows each note to ring out in a glorious musical crunch. Unique Sounds With the Marshall 1987XL, you can mix the two channels together by connecting a short, screened patch lead between the second input of Channel 1 and the first input of Channel 2. If you then plug your guitar into the first input of Channel 1, you can mix the different tonal characters of each channel for greater flexibility! Uncompromised Tone - Even Through the Effects Loop The Series Effects Loop features a true bypass switch that takes the loop completely out of the circuit, thus ensuring the original tone isn't compromised. The Level Switch allows you match the loop to either stompboxes or rack units. Vintage Marshall Appointments As is the case with the 1959SLP, the 1987X has fittings and hardware as true to the originals as humanly possible, thus ensuring that authentic Marshall 'Vintage' look. Marshall 1987XL Features: Output: 50-Watt Preamp Valves: 3 x ECC83 Power Amp Valves: 2 x EL34 3-band EQ Presence Dimensions: 26" x 10.2" x 8" Weight: 34lb A faithful reproduction of the original, which shaped the sound of the electric guitar as we know it! Sweetwater Expert Advice     "This is an amazing reissue; Marshall really nailed it. This amp is great for that tight, thick overdrive with all the warmth and bite you'd expect from a Marshall. It's also much more dynamic than you'd expect from a 50 watt amp and harkens back to the days before that "hot rodded", whiney sound became so popular. Listen to anything by AC/DC for a reference point. For a "looser" Marshall overdrive sound with more low end fuzz (Cream-era Clapton, Tommy-era Townsend, or Hendrix), look at the 1959SLPX - another amazing reissue!
