    So I changed V1 and V3 tubes in my Origin 50...

    Personally, I really enjoy a 12AY7 in the V1 spot. I think it brings way more warmth to the tone than 12AT7s and 12AU7s, but it's almost good to get your hands on multiple preamp tubes to make your own judgement. I suppose if you're happy with it, that's a good thing...but could you be happier?

    Marshall 1987x 50w Plexi KT77s?

    I have a Marshall 1987x plexi 50w head and I love the warm tone I'm getting from it. It currently was just re-biased in June 2024 with EL34s and 12AX7s. I changed out the V1 12AX7 to a 12AY7 because I enjoy reducing the gain and getting some more warmth out of the head - which I believe this...

    Best Distortion Pedal Over a Marshall Plexi

    I looked for attenuators online...some go for $500-$800. Not really in the price range, had to spend big bucks just to get this plexi.

    Best Distortion Pedal Over a Marshall Plexi

    This is an amazing pedal. Sounds like it's trying to make your amp sound like a plexi, but I already have one...will that make it double as awesome??

    Best Distortion Pedal Over a Marshall Plexi

    It's so hard to choose between these pedals! A lot of them sound amazing. Any suggestions to get a Jimmy Page like tone, I know he used a MK II PRofessional Tone Bender. Wanted to see if there was anything similar to that.

    Best Distortion Pedal Over a Marshall Plexi

    Thanks for the help so far. I currently use a visual sound Route 66 overdrive and compression. It sounds great but it has a sound that almost sounds compressed even when I use just the overdrive. Something about it just seems to muffle the tone a bit. I want to be sure I keep the tone of the...

    Best Distortion Pedal Over a Marshall Plexi

    I'm looking to get a distortion or overdrive pedal that can work well with a Marshall Plexi head. I'm looking to get a crunch to play both lead and rhythm parts. I need my low lows and my high highs to stay with my tone. Let me know if you have any suggestions...or if this even makes sense.

    Marshall 1987x Plexi Head New PreAmp Tubes???

    So looking at the back of the amp, V1 is the first slot for a tube? Say I use 12AY7 in V1 and then for the other two I would use 12AX7's? I plan on replacing the whole set. Also, is this a job I can do myself? I've heard about re-biasing tube amps and all that is recommended by taking the...

    Marshall 1987x Plexi Head New PreAmp Tubes???

    I have heard this before, I don't mind tweaking the tone a little bit, I'm looking for something that won't break up as easily. Like I said when I bridge the two channels, the normal channel is perfectly fine, but once i get past 1 on the high treble it breaks up which I'm assuming is fairly...

    Marshall 1987x Plexi Head New PreAmp Tubes???

    Greetings It's about that time where I need to replace my preamp tubes, I'm noticing some crackling during my playing and I was told at at amp shop where I replaced my Power Tubes that when that happens I will need to replace my PreAmps. I bridge my two channels together and have the volume...
