Up and runnin’ old school clang! So far so good. I think I’m set for a while now. Wow!

One thing that stands out so far is the great build quality. I'm not sure what I was expecting but it's definitely much better built than I would have thought. I can't see how these go for $3K new though. Highway robbery IMO.

It was biased pretty hot so I backed it down a tad. It's a 2020 model seems to be in pretty good shape.

Sounds classic. I can see why people would mod these to get more gain and a master volume. It really loves an A power chord.

Hate to say it but the 1987X is making me appreciate the JVM410H even more. Aside from the "authenticity" I think the JVM can really hold it's own and then some vs. the 1987X. Sacrilege? Maybe. Time to put these ringing ears to bed.

Fuck to the yeah, man! Happy Days Are Here!!

Yep, there is a reason Suhr SL67/68 comes with a PPIMV, without it the amp is not practical in any real situation (in my experience).
The other popular solution is a Fryette Power Station.

Sacrilege?
Nah.
The 1959/1987x has a thing, and it's a great thing, when it's the right thing.
The JVM is much more flexible.
I love my rebuilt 1987x. It sounds huge, it sounds muscular.
It's not my only amp and it's not the amp I use the most. though. A PPIMV is highly recommended.

A PPIV master installed in the normal channel low input may challenge pre-existing notions about how gainy and aggressive Superleads can get. Add an EQ, SD-1, or Rat out front and it’s modded Marshall madness.

Fess up - what number was the volume at?

RAT FTW.
It would blend the best outta your other suggested products.
