What Marshall say about the Vintage Reissue 1987X 50w Guitar Amp Head :

While the 50 Watt 1987X head shares the same ‘Plexi’ front and rear panel features as the 1959SLP, it has its own distinctive sonic personality. More aggressive than the ’60s ‘Plexis’, the 1987X is much more of the ’72 period, with a heady, sweet/aggressive tone.
These tonal characteristics are what define this much respected all-valve head. Much care and effort has gone into ensuring that the 1987X remains true to those tonal characteristics, as well as ensuring it remains aesthetically true to the original ‘Plexi’.
The only modern addition to this re-issue is a tonally transparent Series FX Loop.

Stuff About Marshall

Marshall is a legendary British amplifier brand that defined the sound of rock music with its unmistakable power, grit, and presence. Founded by Jim Marshall in London in 1962, the company quickly became synonymous with the roaring tones of the 1960s and 70s, used by icons like Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, and Slash. Known for their iconic “stack” design and warm overdrive, Marshall amps deliver the punchy, dynamic sound that has powered countless stages and recordings. From classic valve amplifiers to modern digital models, Marshall continues to embody the spirit of rock’n’roll—loud, bold, and timeless.

Known for their punch, clarity, and dynamic response, 50-watt amps capture that sweet spot where clean headroom meets natural tube saturation. Whether you’re playing blues, rock, or metal, they provide plenty of projection without overwhelming smaller venues. Ideal for gigging musicians and serious players, a 50W amp delivers the rich, responsive sound that stands up on stage and shines in the studio.. Amp. Guitar Amps and Cabs — Guitar amps and cabs are at the heart of your tone, shaping everything from crisp clean sounds to heavy distortion.

Valve amps deliver classic warmth and dynamic response, while solid-state and modelling amps provide reliable performance and a wide range of tones. Guitar cabinets, from compact 1x12s to full 4×12 stacks, influence projection and character, so matching the right amp and cab setup is key to getting your perfect sound.. Head. Reissue. Valve.
