Marshall1987X Vintage Series Plexi 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Marshall’s black 1987X is a 50W tube guitar amp head that revisits the company’s 1970s-inspired Plexi design while adding an effects loop and bypass switch. Compared with the 1959HW, its lower-wattage design reaches breakup sooner and at lower volumes. That makes it a focused option for players who want the earlier breakup behavior identified with this model alongside a modern effects-loop provision.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar setups where earlier breakup at lower volume than a 1959HW is the goal.
- Players who need a 50W tube amp head with an effects loop and bypass switch.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players specifically seeking the later, higher-volume breakup behavior of the 1959HW.
