« Marshall AVT20 »

Ive been playing guitar for about a year now, and ive been using a 15-watt squier amp since i first got my guitar. One of my friends had this amp, and the first time i played it, I knew i wanted one. Well my birthday finally came around and i went to Mars Music and bought the last one they had. Unfortunately, it was the display model, so i paid about $275 for it.

This amp is perfect for what i need. Its small enough for the bedroom but can put out plenty of sound if i need it. Since this amp is part of the AVT series, its pre-amp is based on a real ECC83 tube, so it puts out the same tone as an AVT150 stack, or any of the other AVT amps. Ive used this amp to record a few songs, and it sounds amazing! Even with my crappy squier strat i can still make it sound just as good as my favorite bands guitar.

The only thing i dont like about this amp is that it doesnt have an input for a footswitch, Other than that, its perfect.

This amp is built very well, i use it as a seat all the time and nothing is loose or anything.

THe Marshall AVT20 is the perfect amp for someone that wants the genuine Marshall sound without paying the traditional Marshall price.
