Heads marshals are known to be very, very nice, it's more art than any other (apart from the JCM800) other than that of blue and golden hilt.

New at € 750 in Belgium Keymusic

UTILIZATION

The EQ is not very active, it's more refined sound. All played on the gain that is adjustable via two knobs (detail & body) Basically, the acute gain and low gain, it gives all the color and the sound is as clean as very responsive to drive. The Mid-boost is great for snapping type fender pickups, too bad it is not assignable footswitch on the
By miss against any use in an apartment ... the 50-watt marshall hurt a lot.

Manuel marshall ... pffff

SOUNDS

type of sound? Have you ever heard the thunder descend to 5 meters away from you?

it sounds typical 80's metal and rock ... on the other hand for more modern or more specific? it is better to redirect to another amp and even a different brand. With some adjustment it can end up with a plexiglass front of you.

I play a Squier Start 78, when Squier was the bomb. The receiver follows the guitar, the game's tone and volume control on the guitar comes into its own on the vintage (small pleasant crunch = drive powerful and hot). The Mid-boost, however, change my Start, you would think she leaves home with a gibson humbucker style "PAF". It's great for everything 80's heavy metal (Dio, Metallica, Black Sabath, Motorhead, ...) or for more bluesy sound to BB King or Stevie Ray Vaughan

Before, I played on a 18 inch hand-made that my (very nicely) to lend. The bass response was excellent for clean, precise and deep (provided you juggle the "body")
Now I am the branch on a 2x12 vintage 30 mounted fame. is much more powerful, but you lose low and can be made further drive the long way: it gets rough

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 5 months that I use, I know her pretty well. I tried all the other party heads 20/60 watt in the market - from € 1000 ... I did not like everything, especially blackstar HT60 and randall RG50H too rough ...

What I like best in this head is the professional sound quality that comes out to € 750 ... it's unbelievable ... Vintage have a sound buying new.

With experience, I would rather head Mesa (correct or mark) because it's more focused on what I play, but the two heads are complementary ... And when I would have the opportunity I will couple the head with a high-gain pedal type ht-distx, hardwire or a Rocktron ... it should sound quality given the small lights, but hey not sure yet
