60 watt all-tube combo (2 and 4 power preamp)
So There's enough to repeat his concerts and theatrical medium
HP 2 celestion G12T
simple connection:
2 channels clean / overdrive with equalization, reverb, and separate volumes
1 volume fx loop
A master on top of that
Input jack and a switch
behind it was a hp output (8 and 16 ohms)
2 fx loop (parallel and series)
A presence

A switch (clean / od)

Most:
- Heat lamps in a combo
- 2 pads of 12 '
- Equalization and separate reverbs
- A general master
the least:
- A simple switch (no reverb manageable foot)
- Restitution limited to large rooms (it's not a 4X12 either, then push it even in the nettles!)
- A bit heavy to carry around the guy! (40 kilos good anyway)

UTILIZATION

I Chechi a combo for the transportation of stamped and I want to taste all the lamps. I played a lot of combos (peavey transistors and Transtube, fender, H & K, Valvestate) and I had already tasted the heads of JCM 900 and above 800.
I bought it without a manual at the same time must not be made to Polytechnic know how to use ...
The sound of the amp and very typical marshall (rock'n'roll baby!).
As often with marshall, the amplitude of equalization is not great, but after a few adjustments and adaptations including relages with guitars, you get the desired sound.

SOUNDS

I was playing pop rock when I bought it but my sound has hardened over time. I find that lack of precision in disto today (I reminds, the marshall's only natural).
It is perfect for you if you are in the blues rock or power pop.
his clear round still in marshall, but get a little something fun playing with the guitar pickups (even double coils)
crunch: the best in my opinion, very bluesy, strong mids and very hot.
lead sound: good, if it is to neo is not really the ultimate tool ... The sound is warm, but when you push it low drool a little, a lot of mid to tranpirent on acute ...

in terms of sound reproduction, pushed to mid-volume, it starts to get cool is hot, the highs come even if we can find that the low and mid chouilla a mix.
The only problem is the appearance of the one-way, it's a combo. Despite the 2 HP, it's either you take full sheets if you are facing, or it gets a little dull if you're a side too.

7 / 10 for the slight lack of versatility and amplitude noise (think of it add a firm to raise the concerts ptite beast)

OVERALL OPINION

I use this combo for 4 years but I think change to a head lamp or a rack for more presence and loudness (only grateux the group: it's getting frustrating!)
I'm still attached, he followed me everywhere and I admit that it is indestructible (the lights were changed two times I put Sovtek very recently and the sound is more fit in ) and 40 kg worse it's up!

I tried several combo before, the sound is really hot and my budget it was perfect. Purchased 3500 F during the day, I regret my purchase at all, it's a great amp to cool the grain of heavy rock, punk and blues.
