Product Overview
Marshall model 1987 clone
This monster is a point-to-point, hand-wired version of the classic 1968 (model year) Marshall 1987 (model number) 50 watt amp. With EL34 power tubes, a solid state rectifier, and more power filtering, this amp circuit marks the period when Marshall really started to come into their own. This amp defines the classic Marshall tone !! packed into a 2X12 combo cabinet made from 13ply Baltic Birch and two 35 Watt Celestion speakers Sealed enclosed. I also installed a Trainwreck ver.3 master volume and a Metropolis zero loss effects loop which is regarded as the go to buffered loop circuit.
The Tubes: JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, and a matched pair of JJ EL34 power tubes.
This amp is loaded with Classic Tone™ transformers from Magnetic Components. These aren't rebranded "custom productions" of unknown origin. These are paper layer wound to vintage specs, using vintage construction methods, and made in Chicago, USA by a company that has been winding iron since 1943.
