Marshall Amplification 1987X User Manual

INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The Marshall reputaon has been built
upon many things, but our longevity
comes mainly as a result of the connual
relevance of the concepts behind the
design and build of our ampliers – add
to this: solid workmanship, iconic looks
and above all, great tone.
The amp you have just acquired was
originally launched at a me when the
face and sound of popular music was
rapidly changing, with electric guitarists
smashing through musical boundaries to
create new musical genres.
Each of the ampliers in the Vintage Re-
issue Series was there at the beginning
of this music revoluon and they all
played their part.
The connual fascinaon and love that
many guitarists show for our vintage
ampliers is testament to just how
relevant and important these models
sll are today.
The re-issues of these legendary
ampliers are as faithful as possible to
the originals in terms of looks and tone.
Hand-craed in Bletchley, England,
these superb products feature nger-
jointed cabinets of birch plywood,
hand-welded chassis, hand soldered
potenometers and valve bases, and the
highest quality PCBs and componentry.
Thank you for choosing Marshall. We
sincerely hope that your Vintage Re-
issue amplier proves indispensable
and that it provides you with years of
legendary Marshall tone.
- The Marshall Team.
The Vintage Re-issue Series consists of the 100 Wa 1959SLP head, the 50 Wa
1987X head, the JTM45 2245 head and 1962 Bluesbreaker combo. All are faithful
reproducons of the 1960s originals that shaped the sound of the electric guitar as we
know it.
The main characterisc that these ampliers share is their simplicity of operaon and
superb all-valve tone. Achieving the beaufully organic and vibrant overdrive which
is their trademark, can only be done in one way – by cranking them up. The result is
pure, majesc tone uncluered 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 aack with a natural sounding break up, which allows each note to ring out
in a glorious musical crunch.
EFFECTS LOOP
Due to popular demand, a sonically transparent eects loop has been added to the
1959SLP and 1987X models. This circuitry has been designed to not colour the guitar
sound, so that your tone remains pure. The bypass switch gives you the opon of
completely removing this circuitry if desired. The eects loop level selector ensures
compability with rack processors and stompboxes.
