A good transistor amp for 80 years.
That conventional components easily found in case of failure.
75W RMS
1 entry "instrument" input + 1 "footswitch" + headphone jack on the front.
Exit 1 "line" with knob adjustment + / O "effects"
1 channel "distortion" channel and a "clear" switchable via "footswitch"
1 knob for the reverb spring
The three pots "serious, medium, sharp" are used for the clean channel but if you pull the pot right most of the channel "distortion" you can also adjust it.

UTILIZATION

Config very simple and effective.
In the 80's, Marshall did some shit: A HP 150W RMS Celestion for a 75 amp RMS!
The weight of the HP says to himself the weight of the amp.
Easily obtained good with this amp.
Even at maximum volume, the HP does not saturate.
The "reverb" is beautiful (come away obligations) and works just as well "clear" that "saturated"
The channel "distortion" is a bit weak and - if you want a big sound hard - it is better to use the channel "clear" with an effects pedal.
A good old BOSS BE5-connected to this amp will delight young and old.

SOUNDS

I use this amp with several guitars:
1 FENDER Stratocaster
1 JACKSON DXMG
1 KAMAN GTX19
1 GIBSON Les Paul

The amp easily accepts all these models (single coils and hambuckers)
I also used a Yamaha BB300 bass and no problemo!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 5 years.
on the other hand, a friend of mine had the same in 1986 (it always) so I knew the quality of this stuff.
I think this amp deserves the symbol "MARSHALL" which is not necessarily true with the current production of the brand.
