40W all-tube amp
everything is there, qualisation spare, master volume, reverb, effects loop, exit 8 or 16 ohms.
However, I regret the absence of a knob "volume" on the clean channel, I use the "gain" for a good rgler but would have been better.

UTILIZATION

Operation is very simple, it's a Marshall (this is my 3rd brand I begin to know)
is heated, it enlve stand by and live sound!
the manual is dispensable as always ..

SOUNDS

Just as good at pricipale:
this amp is really comfortable ds most playing styles, from jazz to hot grandpa hard rock (mtal?) ffrn the small son.
Clean Channel: I t is the most surprised! possd with a JTM30 rput to have the best clean Marshall, I expected a clean sound but a little goes everywhere. well I'm grossly mistaken with my Telecaster sound is warm and soft and desire, we augment Lorqui gain crunch it right! some do not love me! in bridge it keeps a good momentum for Rhythmic and handle is simply sublime in a small blues or jazz!

Overdrive channel
OD1: the crunch par excellence, we find the typical Marshall sound with my Tele I can play black or DSIR gnral rock on that channel with my LP (or other double-scratch ) then it is in its legendary AC / DC, with the gain on the bottom is nearly in the heavy and with half it's perfect for the vintage blues as it should!
OD2: principalmente I use this channel for solos, neck pickup is found in the wonderful solos of Guns'n'Roses! Low load (too?), This channel provides more dynamic and probably surprise you to use THE FIRST, adpote! In rhythmic cuts I recommend the low and add trebble to have more precision if the sound is embedded in some serious trs Submitted.

EDIT: I just bought a small boost electro-harmonix (lpb-1) and engaged with the boost on the clean channel, it has a sound between clean and crunh quite sublime is gnial for ZZ Top in the palm mute (the barn ^ ^), it's great with my tele. same with the boost in distortion, the neck pickup solos are a dconcertante ease and can attack the real solos Black Sabbath, AC / DC or Led Zeppelin. Finally, the OD1 was a powerful but tjr prcis which can switch qques riffs from Van Halen or Led Zeppelin.
I recommend this type of pedals on this amp, I redcouvert it since I Acquisition (thank you Frediani).

OVERALL OPINION

I love everything about this amp, its versatility and legendary grain (I did not have anything to marshall 3). This is the kind of amp that one child care and research gear will be more Dornava on guitars as the DSL401 Ragit much to the sound of guitars diffrent, either simple ( especially for clean and rock), double or humbeckers (for saturation dynamics and furious)
purchase of nine OCCAZ because Marshall is a big bnf (1000euros seen in France!) if I had nine ct I will sell to the same as a 700.800 ENGL thunder .
I can not wait to have my Gibson to be able to operate more in doubles.
