Marshall's 1987XPW Paul Weller combo amp

[BenjiJuanKenobi]

The Marshall 1987XPW Paul Weller amp looks enticing. Love the graphics, although The Who comes to mind instead of Paul Weller.

Steve D, did you have a hand in this one? If so, so much the better. :party

Do you really like the looks of that thing? I am sure it sounds great but if that were in my house it would only be a matter of time before I took it out to the shooting range as a target...would be to tempting to see if a .300 mag could take the entire side of the amp off in a single shot. :draw

Haha its come up again, don't feel bad man, I like the way it looks too but alot of others didn't care for it, lol.

Can't help it. I'm a huge Who fan. While most people picked out Smoke On The Water or Paranoid as their first song on the guitar, I was learning Pinball Wizard.

Had to pick up a couple pairs of The Who styled Converse Chuck Taylors too. Check em out.

+1 on the shoes

maybe not so much on the amp

for me, if they ever came up with a stock amp in oxblood with a beige/tweed grill cloth and gold piping
now that would be cool

when i saw this amp on the marshall website i was like '' WOW a Townshend combo, great!! oh no wait...''
if they put this amp into prodduction with just standard cosmetics i think they would sell.

now that's sexy! :lick me
but they lose me with the 6L6 power section. really not a fan for some reason
now, 6550's and an extra preamp tube and I would be suffereing gas big time :dance

they're only makin 50 of these!

Besides the obvious cosmetic differences, what is the difference between this amp and a normal 50w plexi combo? (btw That's me inquiring on the "Lead & Bass" aspect of this amp)

There was a guy in the UK who got two of these. I tried to buy one from him but he wouldn't shift from asking £1500 for it. They were only £999 new! If I'm honest I'm glad I missed it and got the VM combo. I love Paul Weller's music, and I think this amp is great, but I think the white and the Mod thing doesn't go well with a gigging musician's rig. I think it's more of a collector's piece.

You guys over the pond may not appreciate Paul Weller as much as us Brits.

Welcome to the forum WhoAreYou.

BTW Your issue with the pedals in the 'Effects' thread is probably a ground loop. You have too many grounds connected to the inputs and outputs of the amp.
