Should we reconsider what has already been presented ?.... 2x50watts, 4 6l6/5881 lamps, two left and right inputs, two outputs 8ohms and 16ohms 2 in stereo. The four are active if connected on all cabins and 8 from the selection 16ohms A. And a standard stereo jack for the very kind footswicht Marshall two switches.
Very simple settings, volume and presence for each output, plus a switch Gain + + front.
Note: there is a small swicht at the back to the earth to avoid hum loops with other devices interconnected (ENGL thank you, that's a great idea)

UTILIZATION

It is extremely simple
The sounds are close to perfection
not need user manual

SOUNDS

I play prog rock in particular, Hard, blues, a little heavy ..
Different guitars: Gibson Lespaul T500, Gibson Lp EMG EMG in a MusicMan Luke, MusicMan Silhouette with Di-Marzio Paf Pro.
Sources: GT5 Boss, Boss GT3, JMP1 Marshall preamps, preamp or from the output of a Marshall Mosfet head and also 8100RH. Marshall Mini various booths 1965 (60cm/60cm), equipped with either G10l35x4, or G10L35x2 with G12 Century Vintage or Greenback or G12T75 or Vintage 60.
The result of all this is Marshallian, but the combinations are so varied that one can just ask him. It's warm and bright light and the construction of the beast is remarkable quality .. (I also recently acquired its big brother the EL34 equipped with 920/50 - same remarks, ENGL is the top quality - Made in Germany)

OVERALL OPINION

From 6 months to 1 month and from 840/50 to 920/50 on his kid brother.
I love everything about this beast here. In fact I want him more ale output to connect my HP wall of Marshall house, but 4 is already the top, and then his kid brother the 920/50 is there to complement.
I tried many amps for over thirty years, it is not only beautiful, but also is a marvel of achievement.
The price may seem high, but quite frankly, it's worth it.
and I probably do it again this choice in the near future to acquire a second identical.
