All user reviews of 4/5 for the Marshall 8008

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 )!

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.

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.

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.

Amp transistors 2 X 80 watts per channel into 4 ohms
between A (mono) and B
A and B output
connectors jacks
a button on / off and faade - 1 volume per channel
a linear switch / Valvestate the rear
U 1 format
a note because we demand no more for a amplli power (which is still also not as a compltement possde volumes and a switch

UTILIZATION

C trs clear

SOUNDS

Perfect for any style of music if not to wait for an amp that changes the sound ... it simply restores the signal
The switch builds serious Valvestate mode but it's useless with a prampli
the power of 2 x 80 watts is more than enough and never grows back even with a drummer who bangs like a lumberjack ...
Just average for his because he does nothing more

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 10 years
not a problem with, or buttons that crack
TRS is reliable and yet I ask a lot
the price is great value
If I had the dough, I would buy a mesa, but the is enough
it's not the amp makes the sound, the guitarist, the speakers and the effects
In note 8 overall because it is reliable trs

2x80W power amp transistors, 4 ohms. 2 input, 2 outputs, no prsence, you can play only on the volume.

UTILIZATION

Use trs comfortable, there's no easier.

SOUNDS

In clean sound is pretty good, the amp is transparent and respects the sound of that branch prampli above Obviously does not have the dynamics of a good Poweramp lamps. Saturated in the sound is correct: a branch of Mesa studio pre, the sound is quite dark, by operating the switch is Valvestate rcupere clarity but nothing transcendent. Branch prampli with Marshall, not too bad sounding, with Mesa and the serious food sound is not articulated trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I test a Mesa Studio Pre and compared with a Mesa fifty / fifty. Obviously it's no surprise the fifty / fifty is much more convincing to amplify the studio first. In the end the Marshall 8008 is a Poweramp correct for work at home or in styles scne but not too saturated. For 150 of OCCAZ 'is all perfectly fine though.
