- At NAMM 2025, Fil from SoloDallas had the incredible opportunity to play through Marshall’s brand-new 1959 Modified Amp Head at the Marshall booth-and, of course, he brought the EX Tower along for the ride. The result? Absolute magic. Here is the FULL 2 min clip unedited.

Fil’s channel was my very first TH-cam subscription. Many years ago now. Great player and his nuances for “the tone” is much appreciated. Always pushing the envelope. Keep it up Fil.
@@Breakrite ciao, bello!
Great!
look who it is !
❤❤❤
So tasty. 🤘😎
Excellent! Obviously, the tower is the way to go for that tone, but how do the pedals measure up to the tower? Would love to see this going back and forth between the tower and the different Solo Dallas pedals to do all A-B comparisons because they all seem so similar.
@@egaudet1 … I (Fil here) OFTEN can’t tell who’s who. Tonal differences are really minimal. Tower has more “headroom “ (@15v) and more controls for further sophistication - but the core sound (and circuit) is truly the same
@@SoloDallas Ok thanks for the response. So the pedals are 9v powered only and can't use anything higher (12v or 18v) for more headroom? Plus, the tower is also true to the original. An old school guitar buddy of mine has a closet full of original Schaffer-Vega Diversity System towers. A few years ago, I was at his house and he was showing me his hifi system and guitar gear, then opened the closet to show me a shelf full of those in super clean condition and I didn't know what they were. After he told me, I'm thinking he's got a treasure trove with that collection.
Damn, that tower really kicks that amp hard! What settings should I set my Storm to roughly to get that out of a 1987X? Right now I have Gain 3 o'clock, Boost 9 o'clock, limiter 11 o'clock. It's good but kind of a bit subtle compared what you just did with that 1959 and the real tower!
... I think I cranked everything on the Tower (LOL) - I WANTED to kick the amplifier into that territory. Didn't want it to be subtle, I want it to be plainly in our faces. So - open her all up (the Storm) and let her go; also decrease limiter to zero. With the limiter at zero, internal clipping occurs (by design) THEREFORE solid state (internal distortion) happens within the Storm (same with the original Schaffer wireless). That will DEFINITELY make the non-subtle territory - let me know!
Post scriptum - the Tower has a bigger headroom (15v versus 9v), so it is to be expected. ALSO the Tower has a FAT switch in the back which further increases internal saturation (a "fizz" on top-mid frequencies - not too different from solid state, Neve pre-amp saturation).
Fil ???😮
Yes!
