All user reviews for the Marshall 8008

Transistor amp 2 x 80 watts into 4 ohms, 2 knobs channel A and B

UTILIZATION

very simple no need for manual

SOUNDS

for my use, I used it with my vox preamp for stereo effects only on my 2 cabinets marshall 1912.ALors the sound quality was a bit
cold for my taste with a digital effect TC rack but still had the power to go correct.Since use conventional attacks it gets the job done but it takes behind warm (pedals, preamp ...). Guitars used strat, tele .

OVERALL OPINION

I kept 4 years, but changed by a peavey classic has tubes all warmed ça.Excellent for a small budget and start a preamp / amp / speakers, reliability does not budge! but when you taste the tubes difficult to return to transistors ...

PowerAmp transistor, 2-channel stereo 2x80w.
Front, 2 volume knobs, one for each channel, and the on / off!
At the rear, 2 input, 2 output and a switch (ValveState and linear).

The look is simple, golden color typical Marshall!

UTILIZATION

Well, simply turn on the beast and put the volume at will ...

SOUNDS

I only use my Line6 JM4 to amplify!
The rendering is very good ... more than a preamp in fact!
I plugged it in many preamp Marshall (ENGL E530, JMP1, Piranha), and the sound was not as good with a Rocktron Velocity (also transistor, but 120w), a Brunetti Rockit, or that a E840/50 ENGL ...
It lacked a bit of body volume and low volume High precision!

I wanted to say this, but this is not to "break" this unit, far from it!
€ 80 OCCAZ we can do better!
In fact, I use it almost every day not to turn a head lamp to play only 20 minutes, and it helps me very well!

To quibble, it may be missing a knob "definition" (tone) channel ... <div>Sometimes, randomly, i like to insert stuff in my rear (and I don't mean tubes...)</div>

OVERALL OPINION

I tried several PowerAmp (cited in "sounds"), but for my use, it is perfect. My JMP1, I prefer my Velocity 120.

The QPR is excellent.

He does what is expected of him, but if this is to put a preamp lamps, high-end, this is not what is best.
It does not color the sound cons.

PS: I state again that I bought this unit only to plug my looper / sampler Line 6 JM4 ... not to go again with a good Preamp (even if out of curiosity, I tried, of course )!

2x80 watts transistor
Valvestate a button (lamp simulation)
Input and output jack
2 Separate volumes

UTILIZATION

No manual
Very easy just 2 volumes

SOUNDS

It is a power amp transistor side so it is very neutral color
The switch adds a touch Valvestate Marshall not transcendent but not bad

OVERALL OPINION

I have for many years, never worries, is the power, I use it with a 2x12 cabinet and a valvefx in NoS, and repeated in concert, for the price it is really very good.
Small flat, rather to my config (2x12), a low volume chamber, the sound can appear without dynamic, so attention chamber test that can disappoint. We must put the volume at 9 o'clock the very least to feel the good momentum of the craft.

a transistor amps deliver 2 * 80 watts (80 watts of stereo by "side")
volume for each side in front of A and B
behind setting Valvestate or "line" in fact it influt the "rendering" of sound.

UTILIZATION

config from simple volume and two behind the choice of "rendering" style fortification or "modern"
no manual is all very simple, the loop connecting the outputs for the speakers tt is very clear
the sound is fairly neutral
the power is there, I'm switching from a marshall jvm 410 tt lamps, but the Valvestate is great for those who have an adjacent rack with miulti-effects is a 1U rack so it does not take place trops It is ultimately not so heavy in the fly-box and a couple has two speakers or a stereo cabinet gives its well
two volume knob is rather simple and more settled not taken head on that side!

SOUNDS

it depends on the material used and plug in (so listen to)

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 5 years, and he is filled role to perfection, then certainly this is not a tube amp and this sense when going to the lamps, but in my rack of the day j ' had a digitech gsp artist has preamp valve behind the lights and the solution was not very expensive for:

1) be a boost without lugging a semi trailer
2) To play in stereo
3) have enough power to play at home again and live in
which after all is just what one has asked all our gear!
I would do this choice if I went up a rack of effects because of okaze it's really a matter
but my finances are changed and the lamp has warmed up my heart and my ears since ....

- Power Amplifier in 1U Rack
- 2x80W (4 ohms)
- Jack Inputs & Outputs
- An ON / OFF button
- A volume control knob for each channel
- A Linear Switch / ValveState (simulation lamps)

UTILIZATION

We can not be simpler. There anything else to set the volume and place the switch "Mode" on the mode you want (Linear / Valvestate)
No need for manual, I've never had elsewhere.

SOUNDS

This amp is transparent.

Some say his power level is not a true 2x80X and can be a bit light power level when you have a drummer furious. I've never tested live, just in the studio.

OVERALL OPINION

The Value is very good.
For my use it is perfect (in a home studio), I have connected a Digitech preamp VGS2120 then last year a POD and POD HD 500 PRO HD. He has always done his job, that is amplified by letting them express any preamp with good sound at low volume.

If you have a budget of around € 100 for the amp, try to find this amp used, it is a great choice! Also note that it is not broken, then it is on the other hand silencieux.Je have never tried to push very hard time because I use it at home.

I will ever be the same choice without hesitation as I have not found a tube amp rack 5W in 1W switchable.

A transistor amp rack unit 2x80watts under 4ohms, 8ohms 2x40watts under
not affect just one switch at the rear Valvestate supposed simulated a tube stage (useless).
2 volume knobs, one for each channel.
two inputs two outputs.

UTILIZATION

Paas need is a manual power amps, enough volume at home or in repeats.

SOUNDS

then the sound is very neutral, fearful of any type of preamps.
metal to rock to the funck soul, very versatile.

I board connected over a GX700, a GTpro, a head-AMPIRE behringer v, a v-amp pro, a v-amp, a pod pro and the result is great in the sense that it respects the connected equipment.

I above which employs many ibanez js 1200's nickel

OVERALL OPINION

then I am separated as more repeat, live or studio.
to have tested several types of amplifiers, for me the config preamp / power amp is the best.
this is a very good amp. value for money impeccable.

IMPORTANT:
I advice to find cabs at 4 ohms as the amp is more suitable in this config for my part I was rising in PARALLEL celestion rocket 50 and I had twice to 100 watts into 4 ohms hp with amps issuing 2x80watts is total happiness!
in this config it I played 1/3 volume and it was hard with the preamp output to 60%.

Transistor amp 2x80W
min 4ohm/canal
Jack connectors only
Volume control only
Valvestate switch on the back

UTILIZATION

Bought used, the manual was not provided but it is not necessary in my opinion.
Very simple configuration, you plug and play.
Before 8008 I played a combo VS65R of the same brand, I found that grain Valvestate when the switch is on, I'm not too homesick.
The sound is good although a few additional watts would have been welcome.

SOUNDS

On a rock, punk, electro it does its job.
The Valvestate switch on the back and strengthens the grain Marshall in my case is a nice touch. When the off, the sound is more neutral or at least less distinctive, but it's subtle ...
May be a lack of power but for the home studio, it's enough.
Troubleshooting used to amplify a bass in a Line 6 Pod Pro, but also the fact that the lack of power becomes more problematic for those who love the low round and deep.
For my part coupled with a V-Amp Pro Berhinger and a Harley Benton 4x12 Vintage 30, the rendering is very correct.
I just plug it into a 4x12 412F-BK Bugera brand new, this is not as good (maybe lapping of HP, to see ...) but not bad either.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 6 years in a home studio with various preamps and different cabs, this amp is an excellent value for money.
For the home studio and rehearsal is great, simple and effective.
A good rugged and reliable cheap in secondhand.
If he had let me go, I look for another to replace it.

Power amplifier transistor

Jack inputs and outputs

2 X 80 Watts into 4 homs For channels (right and left)

Mode "Valvestate" his spirit lamps or "linear" neutral.

UTILIZATION

I use it for a long time
Simpler and well .............. there is no
one branch, you turn on the amp, it mounts the volumes and voila!!
Not necessary but clear manual .................

At its very neutral is that the branch with a tube preamp (JMP1, quad, TriAxis, or modeling .... If you set one of his shit it will sound like crap and for a well Logic set ....
It meets very well the preamp plugged it, and whatever it is ....

SOUNDS

I plug it into a 2x12 Marshall 1922 with HP changed for Vintage Gold. on the other hand I plug it in stereo (left and right). I removed the internal connection between the HP to connect to mono.
On stage is powerful as well suffisement return. In such small space bar together no need to dub in the sound.

OVERALL OPINION

I have a very long time and this amp fills its role very well especially for the average hand.
It is very robust (transistors), at his murder.
Admittedly, this is not a tube amp so it is useless to seek comparaion.
For the price I would do this choice.

Transistor power amplifier

2 entries
2 outputs
and a switch to switch Valvestate which 'simulates the lamps'
An on / off button and voila ...

UTILIZATION

is simple .... you plug it amplifies ...

SOUNDS

This amp does not alter the tint son.il very slightly on the position 'Valvestate' but it's almost inaudible (to me, ears more expert would perhaps the difference ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 15yrs Repeat. concert is always the power is sufficient to enter in my Marshall 1922 (2x12 "). sound I never give up. Moreover avecen entry my POD XT Live I create a stereo +> 2 thanks to the coup volume settings I can run straight left one stronger than another to accentuate the effect of stereo effects like flanger.

This power amp rack transistor has a power of 2 x 80W.
It is very easy to connect and use, it has two inputs and two outputs jack jack. Regarding the settings, you can adjust the volume by two knobs (again I can not judge well because I had mine for OCCAZ crack pots and a few

UTILIZATION

That's what I disai, you can adjust the volume in stereo with two pots. The manual (if there is one and if we can not understand the use we never know) I have ever had.
However, it lacks settings.

SOUNDS

With this amp (coupled with a multi purpose Boss GX-700 for the pub) I can get a fat distortion well suited to the metal that I play a lot (and yes, in general there's no need to be a beast to play the metal) but it is a versatile amp that fits in any type of game

OVERALL OPINION

Well I finished, I have nothing else to say. very good amp is a normal MARSHALL.

Power amplifier transistors 2 x 80 W in 1U, two potentiomtres volume, two inputs and two outputs, slecteur Valvestate / Linear.

UTILIZATION

No easier to use ... If the knobs crack purchase, simply disassemble the unit and clean ...

SOUNDS

Like any power amp transistors, it does not color the sound at all linear. However, with the selector the rear (which would have earned to be in front) Valvestate mode, we get a richer sound with mediums, warmer, more dynamic. A fairly convincing simulation lamps (but hey you prferera all of the same real power amp lamps)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, bought used 150 euros and 100 euros I resell my ERRF. I tested a rack mesa boogie 20/20, and sound power level, the 8008 is not that the train (good dynamic cot etc, qd mm is difficult to compare one a boogie marshall).

My complaint: the fragility of potentiomtres, and then the box which tends to vibrate if it is not in flight. Otherwise a good power amp for anyone who wants to be a rack not too expensive.

2 * 80w transistors
2 input jacks
2 output jacks to HP
Selection Mode or classic Valvestate

Nothing special. Attention, no fan, so make sure it does not clump the milieu of a pile of other racks (I'm cram once the fawn).

Jolie faade Marshall Gold

(For our answer to the comment below, my knobs have never made a sound while moving)

UTILIZATION

Nothing simpler.
One branch, and climb the two volume knobs (left and right).

SOUNDS

Used with 1922 and 1960 Marshall cabinets (2x12 and 4x12 Celestion).
Really good. The sound is prcis, and Marshall sounds. If one has a prampli lamp is made carrment is even monstrous.
Submitted power and it is a battery cover aisment (still happy ...).
Valvestate position adds to his personality (typ Marshall) and I only use this method of amplification. The other is more neutral.
The highs are prcis, monstrous bass is perfect for playing mtal or other forms of hard rock. Also perfect for the punk rock genre blink182. For blues or jazz is something else, but if you chose a prampli and guitar based sound that you want out, you come aisment anything you want.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 2 years and I think it sounds great. For the price, it Arelle Marshall sound.
I play a Gibson Les Paul, a pdalier Boss GT-3 directly plugged into the amp and I go out baffles on Marshall and the sound is good l. Despite the lack of rel prampli get low I get any sound prs.
For the price, size, look, sound ... trs is good. If you and your purist perfectionist, take a vritable amp lamp, but prfrez a good prampli trs + prampli this amp rather than a means and a light amplifier.

See other post

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration: two volume pots (one per channel) and a selector
to switch to linear or Valvestate.

SOUNDS

I only play the brutal death and I think this amp is perfect
Valvestate mode it uses exactly the sound of the VS100 ...

So advice to metalheads to get a rack is not CHRE IDAL ...

I think with a good lamp prampli a must here must ....

2x80 watts is more than enough .. I use a quarter of its power
dj ass well and it is.

OVERALL OPINION

What's more quality unbeatable price ratio, robust, easy to use.
happiness.

- Amp transistor
- 2 * 80w
- Easy plug
- Easy rgler also, Valvestate mode or normal switch controllable by

UTILIZATION

- Nothing more bte connect, APRS in two pots for volume!
- Sound is not bad at all, the VS color fawn Marshall sound! I always leave in VS Custom
- Mme not need a manual for!

SOUNDS

- I have not had the opportunity to try tens of Poweramp, but it is good trs!
- I think it easily rpond all styles, since it can also sound trs neutral in normal mode!

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for some months now! I just ... for now! =)
-

Amplification transistor 2 * 80W (on paper ...)
1 knob per channel

UTILIZATION

If you can not, I do not understand!
No further correction of the volume (not even prsence ...)

SOUNDS

Bland and cold.

OVERALL OPINION

Utils I have this amp about a year with a JMP1.
Sorely lacking power.
Compltement breaks the gain of JMP1.
A cheap solution anyway (150/200euros).
With a little over budget (350/450euros) at least try to have such a Marshall EL84 has a lot more sause! cool lights and sound.
