Marshall 1987X-01 50 Watt Tube Head

The Marshall 1987X‑01 is a 50 W all-valve "Plexi" reissue head, crafted in the UK to resurrect the classic 1970s Marshall tone. It features two channels (Normal & High Treble), High/Low inputs per channel, a 3-band EQ with Presence, and an FX loop for seamless pedal integration. Utilising three ECC83 preamp valves and two EL34 power tubes, it delivers rich harmonic overdrive, crisp cleans, and true vintage British responsiveness.
