Strengths

  • Sound quality: Customers consistently praise the amplifier for its uncompromised, specific, and clear sound, often described as the true 'Plexi' sound.
  • Reliability and durability: The amplifier is built to last, with users reporting years of trouble-free performance even with frequent use, making it a lifelong investment.
  • Pedal compatibility: It works exceptionally well with pedals, allowing users to achieve various distortion effects and making it versatile for sound alchemists.
  • Sound projection: The amplifier's sound is noted for its ability to cut through other instruments in a mix, ensuring clarity and readability.
  • Input versatility: The ability to mix sound from two inputs, one for sharpness and one for fullness, offers enhanced tonal possibilities.

Weaknesses

  • Extreme loudness: The amplifier is extremely loud due to its non-master volume vintage design, making it impractical for home use or smaller venues without an attenuator.

What customers repeat

“If you want a solid sound without compromise, and you create distortion with pedals, this is a lifelong matter.” “It will always cut through clearly with other instruments.” “It's an uncompromising sound, enhanced by the ability to mix it from two inputs.” “This is not just going to peel off plaster, it will cut through the globe.” “The only downside I see is the loudness.”

Verdict

This is a high-quality, reliable guitar amplifier head known for its powerful, clear, and uncompromised sound, ideal for professional musicians who use pedalboards for distortion and require an amp that cuts through a mix. Its vintage design means it lacks a master volume, making it extremely loud and less suitable for home use without additional attenuation.

Изключително съм доволен! Истински PLEXI звук. Но трябва да помислите за качествен атенуатор, или вграждане на Post Phase Inverter Master Volume (PPIMV), понеже е много силен и е немеслимо да се ползва без упоменатите по-горе неща.

Hraju na něj rok + box 1960 BX - skvělý nekompromisní zvuk, umocněný možností smíchat jej ze dvou vstupů - "1" dodá ostrost, "2" hutnost - jedním slovem: paráda! Při větší hlasitosti se projeví šum ( je to vintage aparát :-) doporučuji využít vzadu vestavěnou efektovou smyčku na šumovou bránu a je to OK.

I play it with a 1960 BX box - great uncompromising sound, enhanced by the ability to mix it from two inputs - "1" adds sharpness, "2" density - in one word: great! At higher volumes, noise appears (it's a vintage device :-) I recommend using the built-in effects loop on the back for a noise gate and it's OK.

Mám M 1987X 7 let. Odehráno mrtě akcí a nikdy mě nenechal v problému. Pokud chcete pevný zvuk bez kompromisů, zkreslení vytváříte v pedalboardu krabičkama a hledáte spolehlivý a kultivovaný zesilovač - tohle je záležitost na celý život. Zvuk je konkrétní a proleze vždy čitelně přes ostatní nástroje. Roky jsem hrál přes box 2x12" M1936V nyní 4x12" M1960AX. Oba mu zvukově sedí. Co do něj pošlete to zesílí a pošle ven. Deska je PCB, ale patice, potenciometry a ostatní důležité je pájené ručně.

I have had an M 1987X for 7 years. It has been played dead by the action and has never let me down. If you want a solid sound without compromises, you create distortion in the pedalboard with boxes and you are looking for a reliable and refined amplifier - this is a matter of a lifetime. The sound is specific and always clearly climbs over other instruments. For years I played through a 2x12" M1936V box and now a 4x12" M1960AX. Both sound well. Whatever you send into it, it amplifies and sends out. The board is a PCB, but the socket, potentiometers and other important things are soldered by hand.

Univerzálny aparát s konkrétnym zvukom.Veĺmi dobre si rozumie s pedálmi..čo je veľké plus pre alchymistov zvuku.0 čitateľnosti a čistote zvuku ani nemá význam sa nejako rozpisovať. Jediné mínus vidím v tom,že je to non master volume aparát/vintage/,to zn. že nemá master volume.Jeho použitie na domáce hranie je diskutabilné pokiaľ nemáš nejaký attenuator príp. zabudovaný mod,taktiež na skúšobni to môže byť problém,to však závisí od toho akých máš tolerantných spoluhráčov/už hlasitosť na 2 dá zabrať sluchovým orgánom ,skreslenie prichádza niekde na 4 a hore/.Preto odporúčam pred kúpou každopádne vyskúšať. Ako som napísal jediné mínus vidím v tej hlasitosti,inak môžem túto hlavu iba odporučiť...a upozornenie na záver:tento produkt je silne návykový.

A versatile instrument with a specific sound.It understands very well with pedals..which is a big plus for sound alchemists.0 The only minus I see is that it is a non-master volume instrument/vintage/,that is to say that it has no master volume.Its use for home playing is questionable unless you have an attenuator or some kind of attenuator or some kind of attenuator or some kind of attenuator. As I wrote the only minus I see in the volume,otherwise I can only recommend this head...and a warning in conclusion:this product is highly addictive.
