It is an all-tube amp 50w DELIVERING, possessing 2 channels, integrated reverb, an effects loop and speaker outputs different.

Clean with adjustable volume, bass, mid, high.
Overdrive with Gain, Drive, Bass, Mid, High, Volume.

A reverb control, presence and resonance of

The small button for a boost in saturation as footswtichable channels.

UTILIZATION

The amp is relatively simple to handle, the manual is clear and precise.
Once you plug the amp and guitar, clear channel immediately it falls on a clear, dry, clean and precise, careful pat his ears who has the nasty habit of typing a big blow for mediator test the sound will quickly become disillusioned.

The clean channel is clear and does not saturate or almost no (a 3/4 volume) is ideally suited to all styles if you like a clean sounds / dry but the bass response.

For the overdrive channel was right ACDC good for reference, the Marshall sound par excellence, the various controls play their roles, and the boost button allows to multiply the gain of the high-pass gain, we crossed distortion (without a rectifier happen here talking about marshall)

The effects loop is simple and effective. For distortion I plug my MT2 in the loop and I live up the volume of the clean channel, which adds grain lamps on my foot for a typical lamp monstrous power, the sound is very more I grain ( What normal!)

SOUNDS

I play everything from blues, pop, rock and a lot of metal.

This amp is perfect for everything except the metal even if it can be done, but this is not his area of ​​expertise.

Clearly the clean / dry clean, overdrive and bold typed british marshall. With a delay and distortion in the effects loop on any style is adorned in all circumstances with all his lamp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year now, and this is my amp that impressed.
I tried several amp with my Mark IV, fenders, ibanez and others.

I love the sound of my marshall, I saw many negative view above and yet I have nothing but good avec.Son strong point is the clean channel.

I regret buttons and plastic jack makes it a bit fragile and "cheap". I have a spring noise when I play at high volume (reverb or lamp?) I never knew where it came from.

The amp is in prices seen Characteristics. We pay a lot even when the brand. I think that in the future I would buy a model for deemed or fender before but I expect that loose head and i hope that it will never happen.
