Hey, this Marshall community thing is freakin' awesome. I love going to a site knowing there are thousands of people, all into the same thing-Marshall! Yeah!!! I've pissed about for years with other amps such as Peavey, Laney, Vox, Fender, but realised that Marshall is home for me. I have an opportunity to purchase the amp (a head) detailed above. I had a 4212 dual channel combo (brown tolex) once and was not impressed. It had the solid-state bits in it. Is the 1987 four-input a worthy head? Does it have a true tube signal path? Any info would be much appreciated.

Rock on
