Theres something magical in a 1987 Plexi that even the 1959 SL/SLPs dont have. Its just perfect and has its own flavor you cant quite describe.

Better to use a y cable or a splitter box than a jumper cable. When you use a jumper cable, whichever channel has both the guitar and the jumper plugged in will be effectively on the low input for the channel, regardless of whether the guitar is plugged into the high or low input. The jumper cable brings the resistor on the low input into the circuit. Using just the two top inputs with separate leads to blend channels gets you the full input volume.

@justinhamilton9381 Жыл бұрын

@andrewgarcia3136 I think I follow you but wouldn’t that only be an issue if you couldn’t get it as bright as you wanted it, with the jumper pulling the low input in? Or does the y split accessing the full volume allow you to push the pre-amp that little bit more and get some extra distortion?

@OwenWilkesMusic 2 жыл бұрын

I personally use a Boss BD-2 as a clean boost. I have the gain at 0, level at FULL and the tone at Noon into a Blackstar HT-5 MK2 with the gain set at about 10:30am it just gives a great boost. With a Les Paul it gives some amazing tones.

I use an SG and a 1987x with a solo Dallas Schaffer replica pedal and for some reason I can’t get the tone right. It gets muddy too quick and I can’t find a sweet spot. I’ve had it for over a year and it’s been in the shop 3 times and my tech and I can’t figure it out. It seems to not do well when it gets nice an hot. Fingers crossed I work it out because it wasn’t cheap lol

Hi! We use an MXR Micro Amp in the effects loop and it works for us! It should only really add more distortion when in front of the amp, not in the loop.

Does not come from the power amp...the power amp just add some distortion at high levels...you can do a master volume mod (very common on this model) and still get the same drive at low volume. That said...I don't think you should buy this to play with lots of modulations, delay and reverb on the fx loop...it's a rock and roll machine! Cheers!
