Value For Money : Excellent
All Tube Amp, 60 watts, mine is equipped with a single HP. Unless you play with John Bonham's more than enough in volume for clubs or rpeter. I think he never played more than half the power available.
An output line and an outlet for HP supplmentaire, connection for effects loop.
2 channels, volume, and legalization rverb indpendantes on each channel, which is a plus.
A master volume.
The essential is Submitted.

UTILIZATION

Configuration and use of more simple.Pas need manual.
It sounds Marshal is to say that was not the brilliance of a vox or the legalization of a subtle fender.
Still, this amp offers a broader sonic palette a fender to the extent that we can clear sound from a heavy saturation which frankly is not really the field of fender. It is quite versatile.
The sound balance between the two channels is also no problem.
As for his weight so it's all lamps heavier than a transistor amp but still portable (unless you want a hedge with nitre 100 ...)

SOUNDS

It's the sound of the lamps so hot.
The clean sound is good but a little "flat" or neutral. Pushing the channel volume gives a clear background lightweight INTERESTED crunch, the sound takes a little shine and is bluesy, I think one of the best sound of the amp. I use it with a Start and you can approach, coupled with a tube screamer, the SRV sound. But it is also not bad for rhythmic support.
The channel is saturated ... saturated fat is the sound baveu typical marshal. Even with a relatively low level of gain saturates a dj not bad. By increasing the gain compresses slightly and the level of distortion is IDAL for the heavy rock zztop, hardrock, pop rock genre placebo. I think with a team of guitar humbucker friquoter it should be possible with heavy sounds mtal problem without having to leave qqes add effects.
Overall, it seems to give the best sound with the neck pickup in the stratum, both in its saturated clear that what I would say that this amp reproduces more serious than acute, but I did not tried it with my other guitars strat.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for eight years and I have only to change lamps. It fully respects the quality and dfaux brand, clear sound right without me, and saturated fat and warm, but when a marshal is rarely achte for clear sound .. .
In comparison, I jou qqes time on a jcm 900 combo and a jcm600 sound better I think.
I had bought new in 4900 for 98 francs and the era it seems to me that there was no real equivalent in any lamps. C'tait is more expensive, fender, mesa, etc.. is not great and often hybrid, Peavy, Hughes and Kettner ...
So I think a good quality c'tait price. Today I saw some qqes cars on the net between 500 and 600 euros, but there is no beaucoup.Je MODELS think the new 60-watt lamps all cost a marshal in the 950 euros.
O When I bought j'coutais plutt Rock 70's, Hendrix, Cream, Led Zep, so the silent plutt jcm 600 a good choice (default of an old JCM800 sr well ...).
Today j'coute and I play radiohead, dandy Warhol, Supergrass, BRMC ... and for seeing in concert, they all play on vox or fender. Having more than one small (actually a passion) for the Beatles, I think opt for a VOX AC30 as soon as possible.
But if we are to marshal the jcm600 sound should not.
