Joemanix see below, it is complete.

UTILIZATION

Simple. Like any good old marshall.

Unless the loop, it's hard to collect the digital effects.
THE

SOUNDS

his marshall. Without doubt one of the last to own the famous grain. We may say without being bad amp, the following have lost the soul of origin.

- Channel 1

May be clear as crunch.

For clear rather push the master volume as the volume channel, and conversely for the crunch.
The clean is transparent respctueux of the stringed guitar. By pushing the treble is the impression of playing on it sometimes sound quite impressive. Short clear sound very pure, very clean and the guitar will have its role.

To the sides crunch, it's old school. Always respecting the guitar used. I use it less for AC lacanl 2 makes this job really well and provides a medium setting and more.
- Channel 2

The lead sound channel 2 spread to a lot of style. Through the mid and treble knobs: frankly effective for once! vintage is oriented to a little more modern without problem. (Warning it's still very old school)

With this many mediums, not too much drive (The drive button is really active in the second half, so I hear by almost three quarters.) Is the boogie rock, blues, grain is fabulous vintage, still in respect of the instrument is short of pure bliss ..

Medium was halfway see less and boosted with od and is clearly another maiden and metallica that stand out. Of mutes to thrill, muscle. But most important point, one little cut medium the sound is piercing, spring mix. While muscle and power: the grain is heavy 80 ..

- For the rest:

The reverb is a bit too deep for my taste.

Regarding the effects loop and reverb are misplaced on the other hand. The reverb is before the loop. So your noise gate goes a little way to eat it possible ..

The loop when her girlfriend is not very gear with modern digital .. It blows and company ...


OVERALL OPINION

A great amp that does not demerit reputation.
MOST
Respect for the guitar, muscle, grain typed .. Truly a beautiful beast.

LES -

Loop rather temperamental, reverb too deep and misplaced.
Knob gain only half the active and blows very end of this race.
