Sounds great! My favourite circuit. Your amp sounds so good. The cleans are glass and the drive tones really cut. Eddy your passion is evident. Wishing you great commercial success! Go Eddy!
Thank you so much, mate!
Jesus…this amp is ALL…OVER the map in terms of how it sounds. This happens to sound really good…..especially with that SD-1 to tighten it up. There’s a video floating around of someone doing almost this exact demo, only using a Jackson Dinky and it sounded astonishing….borderline like Fair Warning (which, aside from Ratt-Invasion) is the perfect tone). I still think he either doctored it up via a DAW, or this amp is extraordinarily sensitive with what guitar you use, because I’ve never see another demo of this amp that sounds like that. But, this is relatively close. Usually the plexis sound a bit flubby or fizzy, until you mod them. Well done.
Yeah, they're very sensitive to different guitars. The speaker/IRs also matter a lot
@@EddyLenz Yup...to say the very least. I've also come to learn that the manufacturing and QA of these amps back in the day was ALL OVER the place. 30 different amps sound 30 different ways. But, if you can find that gem, it's worth every penny. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I think the guy you mentioned with the jackaon dinky is me. Thank you!😂
@@lironamsalem7149 Was that you?! You SOB….I’d kill for the tone in that video! Loved it! I know I left you a comment saying. You should put a link of that video in here, in case someone reads it who has no idea who I’m talking about. That video was killer. I’m sure other tone-chasers would appreciate it.👍

Awesome Eddy, I have this amp and they’re great
Thanks!
Eddy ... I’m really looking forward ... to play my lenz amplification modded plexi :-))
You're gonna love it!
@@EddyLenz have you demo the 1957 plexi also havent seen it on ur channel
@@alexkidd4979 What amp do you mean?
@@EddyLenz also it was the one billie nodded to make it super lead for older albums
That’s the “sound” of rock in my head. Awesome! 🤘
gonna sound killer..
After I'm done with it, it's gonna be a real firebreather :D
Great sound!!
Hi Eddy, what was your amp setting at 1.20? Did you engage any pedals then? The tone is lovely! I just bought my 1987x yesterday and I’m trying to dial in that sound.
Thanks! I'm using the settings you can see on screen.
sounds awesome 😎 it’s a shame you’re going to mod it.
Hi Eddy love this clip, do you have any preference on attenuator thats available now? Thanks!
Has the Jose mod been done and did you video it? It sounds great as standard!
Yes, I did two videos with the Custom Jose Mod in it. Should have been right after this one.
Sounds great, I’ve heard the power amp section of 1987 is the same design as the 2204. Is this true?
Thanks! Pretty much, depending on the year, the filtering could be different though. The presence circuit is also a bit different
Eddy Lenz thanks man
Nice demo man...
Thanks!
Really amazing!!
Thanks!
I have a 1987x from 1995 had it serviced last year but have lots of hiss on the bright channels, are you using a gate?
No. There shouldn't be much hiss if the amp is working correctly
How’d you get it so clean? My goes from 0 to bone crushingly loud distortion between 0 and 1.3
I just roll down the volume on the guitar
That's because of the bright capacitor soldered across the volume pot (typically a 4700pF ceramic disc). Snip one of the leads to take it out of the circuit and the volume control will behave normally. You will lose some brightness at the low end of the control...basically from 1-5, but the amp is already bright. If you need more brightness at low volume after snipping the bright cap, just turn up the presence.
Awesome demo! What speaker and mic did you use?
Thanks! I Didn't use a cab, I used a load box and Ownhammer IRs.
@@EddyLenz Great! Do you remember what IR?
@@06szymonszymanski I mixed two IRs from the FMAN summary folder.
@EddyLenz did this amp still have the stock 4700 bright cap when you recorded this?
Yes
That amp sounds good,how do you bias your tubes?on the hot side?
Thanks, I always have them at 70%, but I don't know how this amp was biased because I didn't open it before making this video.
Very close to the brown sound...
at 1:40 did you put your guitar volume all the way up
I think so
@@EddyLenz yea sounds absolutely killer! Nice playing aswell 🎸
will any new marshall 1987x sound this good? Idk why but i always thought the older modded stuff would sound way better but this sounds great on it's own
This definitely is a good one, but I think that any reissue should sound very similar to this.
It's gonna sound way better after it's modded IMO, but that just down to preference, I guess.
What mod in particular?
@@nickyounger1368 A custom Jose Mod. I've got two videos of the finished amp on my channel.
looking at video you have all the presence and treble and mids dimed! bass cut back, how did you tame all the highness and not make it sound shrill since your only in the high channel?
That's because volume 1 is on 10
Have you ever had any trouble with the indicator light ? Every time I touch mine seems like it has a false contact or anything, It turns off but the amp is still working.
Not with a new one like that. Sounds like yours has a broken contact inside or on the soldered connections.
Ah! So this video is the stock Marshall 1987x? 🤔
Yes, after that it got a custom Jose Mod. Got two videos of it on my channel.
@@EddyLenz what reactive load box are you using?
Video won’t do it justice I know this pulverized the room
i dont understand why you would want to mod this tone
th-cam.com/video/CWxF_fs4avw/w-d-xo.html
That's why
Hi
What speakers?
I used Ownhammer FMAN IRs with V30s
, I think
Really? What load box?
Thank you
