Hi all
Head all tube 50 watts with two EL34 then to amplify and five ECC83 preamp for.
Ultra easy to use and no redundancy as the channel model 410 with too many possibilities to not too many buttons and too powerful.
To top it off, your settings are saved even without MIDI just provided with the pedals. If you want MIDI there, it will buy a pedal. Effects loop with a switch on / off front panel and a volume control input, an insert point on the amp bypassing the preamp and an amp simulator XLR output for a record deal or a console !

UTILIZATION

I start right away with the negative as it gets rid of it! There are two digital reverbs a per channel and are so-so, those springs were not terrible, but there ... Then switch on the front are of poor quality below the level of quality Marshall. A force to use one day I'll take one in the face! Fortunately the pedals is very caustaud and we do everything with.
Button to finish the "resonance" which must benefit the serious and really there to do good because you have to have sharp ears to hear the action.
That's it for the sides is more sound and wide range of applications.
Use of this head is very simple, the manual is also in French.

SOUNDS

3 modes per channel, green, yellow and red or 6 sounds preamp (12 on 4-channel model of delusion!) You can still play with this amp because in addition it sounds great.
A green channel mode is very clear and beautiful crystal on a Start and already a little blues on the microphones of a serious les paul.
Is in orange crunch, blues country blues solos. The channel is still the least successful for me.
Fashion red is supposed to sound like the JCM 800 but rather to the JTM45 that we look for those who have already played on these great old amps must reach heights of decibels to ring so that here it is now.
Channel 2 Green Mode found some sound mode except for a red channel with the strongest gain was the sound AC / DC without worry, especially with the grain immediately recognizable, not copy or likeness that's it!
Orange the best mode of the head, there was the history of rock on a channel, just turn the volume or gain to the Van Halen, Iron Maiden and all we have heard in years 80 / 90. The great Marshall distortion is there and it hurts so much is good, there must be strong enough to make it sound but with 50 watts while bathing is accurate and it does not dégeule.
Finally the last mode where it burns red, ideal for solos in fact, difficult to master even if the margin is correct feedback. It's good for the trash with équalo well cut can be made without forcing the bulk metal. I tried with a BC Rich granted Do I have to have some Kerry King in my basement!

OVERALL OPINION

Here I have this head with a 4x12 AV 160 with Celestion Vintage 30 for 15 days and I am very happy. I have a Gibson Les Paul and a Jackson Soloist Archtop someone lent me a stratum for listening! In addition the head is not cheap (except in France!) Bought 760 euros in England (live strong euro!). Thank you because with the Marshall JCM 2000 was not!
