i have this same head unmodded though. i just noticed the other day that i get a hum and a bit of distortion or gain when i turn up the volume 1. but im plugged into the top right input. is that normal? my amp has final from 6 feet high like 3 times. power or preamp tubes maybe broken? something else?
@davem04ify The Bray mod is a little stiffer feeling and is geared toward more of a hard classic rock, whereas the Voodoo HG Jose is voiced more in the 80's hard rock camp. The Jose mod has a much smoother feel and suits my playing style better.
Very Nice tone bro....man! that full bodied "woody"(?) tone with the warm & fuzzy saturation, and crystal clarity in the thick chunks of crunchy chords.....dayum that's a fine soundin' amp. I would give my left nut to have that sound.!
I personally played this amp when Mel brought it to a bar I was playing at a few years ago. This demo does it no justice at all. One of the best amps I ever heard.
Hi all. I have a vintage 1968 jmp50 plexi head model number "1984" This is NOT a re-issue. Serial number s/11039. All original parts still intact and in perfect working order.
Send me a message if your interested and i will send you a link to my auction
With this amp dont even get close to number one on the volume, just a hair off the zero is loud. You need a marshall powerbrake to play,at around volume 5 or 6 . Then all the cream comes out as mellow overdriven distortion ,in a good way. In a small room just turning it on the buzz from the amp being on is loud. Pure power ,ive exploded a glass vase in my room. At home barely volume just off zero, its a wonderfull clean sound, that will accentuate all your sloppy playing.
Damn, now that's one bad sounding Marshall! Incredible sustain, with a nice squawky, mid-rangish, creamy tone. Does the mod consist of adding a 4th pre-amp tube and a master volume? Nice job buddy!
im thinking about picking up a 50 watt plexi reissue tomorow and im lookin at avatar speakers if i do get it they ahve great reiviews and low prices how do u like ur cab?
I have never owned a marshall, but am in the market. So I tried out the new 1987XL 100 Watt Plexi. I thought it was gonna cave my head in. These amps are loud as shit. Yours sounds great!
1987XL is 50 watt actually... but as i own a SLP1959 100W plexi amp.. i can tell that dont even think of playing these at home or even at small gigs. you just cant. its too loud. i finally got a chance to crank this bitch up at my friends house (which is 10 miles away from the town) and it just rocks!!! i will never consider anything else but marshall plexi amps after this! theres nothing better than a cranked marshall! i just wonder what kind of distortionmonster would a JCM800 be...
Oh yeah! Marshall Plexi for life! Once i tried it cranked theres no way going anywhere else! Best on the market, i just can imagine what vintage marshalls sound like... gotta get one someday :P
Dave Bray is cool! However, Jim Marshall is MUCH better! Leave your Amps alone! They will do all of that GREAT stuff on their own! Deep Purple didn't have modded Marshalls! ????? These amps are made to do everything you need, without being butchered for the cost of a backup amp! Just buy two! Then, learn how to get the tone you need! There are just too many kids out there today trying to emulate something that comes from your fingers, not your amp! The word of the day; "LEARN"! :-)
I agree with the second part (fingers thing, bla bla) but i have to say you're wrong with 1 modded or 2 different amps. Do you think everyone can buy himself two such amps? I think it's way better to mod one unless you play on 20000 seats stadium...
@iwanarok Actually, Ritchie Blackmore's amps were heavily modded. For example, they had an extra tube poweramp stage, not to mention numerous nods to other internal components. So, seeing as deep purples guitar tone live is GODLY id have to disagree with you.
@ConnerMan127 Ritchie Blackmore also used a reel to reel tale deck (Akai I belive it is) as a pre-amp. I'm having my 1987X modded. These amps were designed to dime but you just can't get that tone playing clubs. I had a HIWATT 50 once and used a Scholz Power Soak and it just sucked all the high end. I'm sold on the PPIMV mod. Having it done as soon as my tech can work it in.
@iwanarok And get fired from the club in the process because you're having to turn the amp up so loud to saturate it. That is Brays thing, you can dial the 'sweet spot' without killing your audience. You get really close to saturation, bass response, sustain that you'd get at intolerable levels. By the way, I have a 1959 and 1957 UNMODDED Plexis that I could NEVER play out with, just entirely too much volume to deal with.
@iwanarok Ritchie Blackmore's amps were moded in the factory,workers there were not happy with volume he used when testing them. each head was upped to 280watts.
this is planned to classic rock fans or bluesists or at least 80's metal lovers(once boosted),if youre not a listener of those,its sensible u wont like it.But arent u?
well,van halens plexi was modded first of all plus evh had a lot of tone on his hands-something that not all of us do ;P..and by 80's metal i mean things like accept-or with even more gain like 80's thrash(metallica,megadeth etc)
well eddie van halen admitted his plexi was unmodded or as i've read, and kirk hammet actually used a plexi for the recording of kill em all. he used a ts-9 for solos, but the rythm tone is 100% plexi.
But then again, he had a master volume put in his Plexi. But his tone was awesome! I just wish Eddie Van Halen would use the good old Plexi instead of 5150s or whatever he uses now.
no he did not have a master volume. he has a video on youtube where he says he turned the plexi all the way up, thats what was a big influence on the tone.
I'm surprised Eddie Van Halen isn't deaf then. A 100 Watt Plexi turned all the way up? That's some great tone on Van Halen's old albums, but that must have been painful to his ears!
true... im having problems with the volumes playing live without earplugs with my band and none of us has that kind of volumes, not even near. thank god for earplugs!
Nah bro, thats just a rumor, he had a guy named Jose that moded his amp JUST A LITTLE BIT, the dude sodered his wires different giving him a tad more gain, thats it, Eddie just cranked the shit out of it, had more than 1 marshall head running ( which gives more power and preamp distrotion ) and these 2 boss eqs and a mxr eq boosting the gain as much as possible, it was genius for the itme, yet so simple now
@AssassinSteven Eddie has been interviewed saying Jose only re tubed his heads. Its a Stock Plexi. Marshall were never consistent back in the day with their parts, and manufacturing. Also Eddie never ran more than one plexi until the late 80's i believe. He also only used one boss eq, and one mxr eq. Some Credit for the infamous "Brown Sound" should also go to the man behind the board Ted Templeman.
@AssassinSteven just to be pedantic, I'll point out that using more than one amp would give you less distortion, simply because you wouldn't have to turn the rig up so much.
It is just the amp, but the amp is not stock. He probably spent a grand having David Bray modify the amp. Check out the Splawn Quick Rod or Splawn Competition on the web, and here on youtube. Splawns will NAIL the Van Halen sound and MORE.
I played a Plexi for a few years. I borrowed it from the other guitar player in a band I was in. It didnt sounds like this though.
I called it the Wallflowers amp. They were big at the time and I thought it had a similar nice tube rootsy alt/country ish type of tone. Way loud though. Even in clubs I could only turn it to like 2.
Get yourself some pre-rola celestion speakers with original cones. If you can, grab and old Marshall head as well. LoL. The head is not so important, the speakers are. Next closest thing to those old celestions is some speakers made by the Jackson guitar company around 1988 I think. They 're equally rare. If you can not get the old speakers, you will have to go with vintage copies. Get yourself an oscilloscope and signal generator. To be able to see what a signal "looks" like is very helpful.
Actually, One does not need pre-rola, they just need pre mid 1974 celestions.1974 is when the celestion cone factory burned down. This is when the sound that everybody seeks was lost forever.
There is a thing called "noise". For guitar players trying to make crunch/distortion, it lies in the sound band frequency of 4K hertz.. It will deafen you. I guarantee that. Be careful. With old celestion speakers, one could overdrive the piss out of them, but they would not produce this 4K noise band.
If you want to try and get the original plexi sounds, I would look at Metro Amps. You can get kits and have them make them for you if you're on a budget (Will still cost less than the Marshall reissues, about $1500 total for the head) or you can go full out and get an amp made exactly to how they used to be for a steep price. Definitely worth the cash for the head if you've got the cash to spend. That's all NOS parts though, extremely high quality.
It's all your fault! This damn video! I pulled the trigger and bought one of these David Bray 1987x amps. It sounds great! It only has the Mod 1, but I think I'll send it back for the Mod 2. Thanks for the videos.
to anyone that is thinking about an MG, save up ur money and get a Vintage Modern or a JVM, way better stuff! And vintages arent that expensive...I think the 50 watt combos are around 1500 USD.
just kller sound, like i stated, my little artist head will do this thru strats an whatever, but this guy just plays really tasteful, for attack,, everyone should see kevin on jay leno, with his mesa boogie , ,,blue angel.., what a viscious guitar player, one of the best, only blackmore is really unapproachable though, thru engl, or marhall amps, he,s simply way better than any, bar none..
This to me sounds like, Angus Young and Eddie Van Halen... the two tones mixed. Sounds fucken killer !

Nah don't buy Marshall. The old plexis may be awsome but are so expensive. There are plenty of other amp makers who make amps with killer tone

WOAH! what is this mod called and how does it get tht CRAZY sustain!???? i love it!
Acidrain1993 3 years ago
The sound and the tone is subjective. I like it as one particular sound. The mod is not that complicated actually, but effective

i have one. put a DOD 250 overdrive in front of it and you have badass tone.

i dont believe you
chooch187 3 years ago 2
seriously, the DOD beefs it up a bit, makes it punchier.
spawnofwheezedog 3 years ago
im sure it sounds better, but for me the problem with the mg is the whole strugture of gain and responsiveness.
chooch187 3 years ago
well thats because its a MG lol. go tube!

just kller sound, like i stated, my little artist head will do this thru strats an whatever, but this guy just plays really tasteful, for attack,, everyone should see kevin on jay leno, with his mesa boogie , ,,blue angel.., what a viscious guitar player, one of the best, only blackmore is really unapproachable though, thru engl, or marhall amps, he,s simply way better than any, bar none..

Can you do some Tool Undertow sounds? Like Intolerance or Swamp song, It sounds like it could do the Superbass sound very well.
pepporonipie87 3 years ago
That's Mesa Boogie usually. That's what Tool use for the "fucked up" kind of tone. Specially in Undertow.. that's old school stuff. weird sounds

Er, if you say so! Okay, I may be a little off....30 secs to 42 secs I guess is more like a bluebottle in a jamjar!
BZZZZZZZZZZ, BZZZZZZZZZ. Nope, It's a racket. Been playing for over 35 years, and that doesn't sound like a Plexi I'd like to play through.
