Value For Money : Excellent
It's a Marshall Amplifier lamps combo version:
Amp-preamp has two levels to choose from (a lamp is the preamplifier adds to your sound to make it more violent = HDR)
Reveb-integrated
-Master volume
EQ is a 3-potentiometers, Treble Middle Bass
- 2 gain knobs, Body and Detail (giving one of his body, the other giving the precision of the sound)
Of Middle-booster
-50 W of pure power
-2 Speakers Celestion Greenback G12C
-4 ECC83 preamp as lamps
-2 As KT66 power tubes (lamps used on the Jimi Hendrix signature amp)
-One Footswitch included to choose between high dynamic range (HDR) or low dynamic range (LDR) and the activation of the Reverb

It's simple, effective, two potentiometers gain being the base of the amp. I put 9 for the equalizer as inefficient



UTILIZATION

So in terms of use, there is no simpler, it is actually the Plug N Play, just plug in his guitar, choose between HDR or LDR , adjust potentiometers Body and Detail and then go! The advantage of this amp is that it reacts to how you attack the strings and it also reacts to the volume of the guitar

SOUNDS

I am very big sound for me, but I am versatile, I play Led Zeppelin to Black Label Society, via AC / DC, Aerosmith, Metallica ... and all this with my little Gibson Flying V
This amp I delighted! The LDR enables me to have a clean sound by turning down the volume on my guitar and adding some reverb. By enticing a few potentiometers, I start directly at the ACDC sound, a pure perfect crunch, characteristic of Marshall.
Then after I pass in HDR and it's heavy! It is accurate, it's powerful, it's good sound!
I was not entirely satisfied with the saturation am available to remedy them, so I bought an MXR ZW44 (Signature Zakk Wylde) and I'm packed!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since summer 2010, I am satisfied vraimment!
I hesitated a lot between several models, like the Marshall haze, the Orange Tiny Terror because vraimment 2266C had a lot of power under the Tolex ...
I love vraimment both gain knobs on the amp, on the other hand is a pity they do not do it with these models a bit less power, because with this beast, you must climb to fourth for a real worthy of its name
I find that the ratio quality / price is respected, one has for his money and his ears!
I am ready to make the election again soon, besides I think the combo for sale buy the head + cabinet version.
