Value For Money : Excellent
The Dean Markley DMC 80 is a transistor amp. Dlivre power indicated by the manufacturer is 80 watts Stros.
The rear output is conection with 2 Stereo jack 6.35 mono. It is the same for the inputs. It also has an RCA output base.
Faade entries are two in number. A normal and a attnue. In faade, we also find a headphone jack, line in, line out and a decision to enable or disable the reverb with a foot switch. T it would make more sense to switch to a prvoir distortion.
The rglages Submitted are conventional. Are the three colors: treble, middle and serious, clear sound volume, the reverb and a chorus that is activated by a push button. It also has an overdrive that is not bad, but a distortion pedals to make when even much better. At the rear, it also has 8 dip switches to operate in the overdrive sounds.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of this amp is really simple. Sounds good trs are obtained, especially in reverb and chorus with clear sound. Only the distortion is a bit Legré, and as I said above, it is better to add an external pedals or even a rack effect.
The chorus is suffering a bit of a breath you hear when you do not play. This breath rsiduel and trs well covered in.

SOUNDS

This amp rpond my expectations perfectly. I play a lot of metal, a lot of distortion and serious. The perfect amp rpond demand.
I toured with this amp now for a good fifteen years. I really jou Stanbury and with a DOD overdrive pedals for distortion. I wait soon a BC Rich warlock platinum with RP150 rack. I think that will change a lot of things.
My sounds are prfres clear sound with the reverb and especially a touch of chorus on top. I do not like the distortion, it is too basic and lacking in spades. on the other hand, to play a good rock, it will rev well. It is just hard for lgre and metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for fifteen years. What I like about this amp is the chorus and the fact that it is Stereo. These lments t have a choice dcisif for me when buying. Fifteen years ago, this kind of amp did not run the streets.
Before buying, I tried a lot of amp, it had more than the others did not.
With experience, I would do without this choice hsit. Only problem, now this amp is a pice of muse. Even on google, you get not find info on Dean Markley amps marching strong in the years 80-90.
The ratio quality price is excellent. From memory, it was trading at 4,500 francs (686 euros), and I was in promo for 3000 francs (457 euros).
