Value For Money : Poor
Dwarf version of the famous JCM 800. Tell yourself that in Marshall, fewer buttons, more is good. Five knobs, lamps, no effects loop, no reverb '. And not by the presence cons. Power: 1 Watt / 0.1 Watt when switched. And a little bonus: a manual switch that gives you a small side Silver Jubilee not yucky ...

I think this is the only head Marshall Angus Young can wear alone ...

UTILIZATION

configuration is very simple. All sounds are usable if you like Marshall. Store it directly in the manual unpacking. Let your ears do!

I have a big sister than 100 Watts rehearsal and JCM-one in my room. The relationship is more obvious and what a pleasure to play with the master volume beyond 1 or 2! For evenings or Madam bed in the next room, the scope of 0.1 watts is frankly played well even though we may not have the big stack dynamic tube, do not dream too much anyway.

SOUNDS

Should my style of music: Simone you amaze me! This stuff is a legend in mini version! I'm a scratch cover AC / DC so this is perfect. But as there is not the Young brothers in life, know that it will give you satisfaction in other styles (funk, blues, reggae ...) if you like the grain "Marshall". Fender fans spend their way but that is not necessarily a new ...

The amp many respects and restores the guitar you use. I play a Gibson Explorer, ESP eclipse of 1995 fitted with a kit EMG Zack Wilde (81/85) and a Mayones Setius mounted with a diagram of SSH in Bartolini. A different pleasure every time. I expected a colleague lent me a signature Clapton to know ecstasy full version single coil ...

Only small problem (well yes and no): little boost button. It is very nice because it gives you a more creamy and warm, rich in harmonics. on the other hand, for the price, we could have the footswitch mode. So I am not 10/10. GNAA!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four or five months, but I could not pay me baffle the end of September. I cursed since the days when I do not have time to play a little. Moreover, since you mention the subject: you pay the head, not the combo. The combo is nice but contains an 8-inch HP which I think gives her too pokey. I took a 1X12 cabinet at VHT. Great and cheap. 1 watt is not much, admittedly, but the sound must be well at ease to exit. I also tried a Marshall 4x12 in the studio to die for! Ask my bassist ...

For the home, this amp is much more convincing, it is my opinion that all new more or less oriented modeling and uses your PC to operate. It is in its TRUE. One branch and plays. He speak your fingers, not the effects of different treatments or the software for guitar. It is a philosophy. We adhere or not. I love it.

It is a bit expensive for what it is regarding the quality / price. I will not be taken without the discount I got (thank you Francis!). I think Marshall-bill us on the scope of the limited series. But once in hand with your favorite guitar, money is not really the issue.

The few flaws (besides the boost switch which is only manual).

- There is a fair bit of power to rehearse with my furious. As bassist bastard just had her EBS 4x10, I have no luck ...

-The presentation is a bit cheap. Nothing in the box tells us we just buy something ultra limited series. We could have had an autographed Marshall's father. Especially now that will have become difficult ...

He has the defects of its sister model 2023: no reverb 'no loop.

For the rest: that's good! Pay you the legend of contemporary music. As big as a toaster and widely as hot!
