I put 8, it lacks the specs of its big brother the 8280 (second chorus and speaker for stereo)

UTILIZATION

The manual? but never at the same time never needed

it's a snap to a settlement.
pre-equalization on 3 strips with clear sound and gain the ability to trigger the crunch.

then 2 distos: a "standard" and "metal", a switch and it goes into high gear:
gain, bass, mid, treble, contour and volume.
an effects loop with the ability to filter the input signal and mixes the volume effects of the loop as those born: reverb and master volume.

if you know the amp is a story of a few minutes to adjust.

SOUNDS

I play metal (death metal, thrash, heavy), rock, and lots of other things on it.

- Clear sound: correct, it's Marshall, this is not what makes their reputation to be honest, however the styles mentioned above it is widely agreed (add some effects such chorus for clean sounds it helps to cool the sound and make it cleaner). following is a history of gout
- Crunch - I'm using it forever
- OD1: Rarely used, when I want a crunch sound, rock, typified by example 70's, just a presence of distortion but still grainy.
- OD2: Marshall is the sound of the end of the right period. end of year 80 early 90. pre amp tube is more than a spec sheet. his presence is immediately felt. obviously, we released the original lamp Marshall and we'll take a look at your local good old Soviet bulbs (avoid Mesa Boogie example, it adds no heat, but it spits out as soon as the shoot). so it heats up, it sounds, big fat, it's not a triple rectified (it's not the same money either), or a Nomad. but it is always better than the pseudo simus amps that do not hold water and have no sensation. the term of the instrument is easily defined.

- Reverb: useful but perfectible

I would put 10 though: If one seeks the Marshall sound is there and that's what we asked him, nothing else

OVERALL OPINION

I used it then or it is paid in Francs and it was costing 5000Frs: D (14 years)
I found 2 years ago OCCAZ, I was looking for an amp is pretty versatile but mostly a distortion drinking a shoestring budget: its case is

Marshall is the sound - from 150 €, the most resourceful can even touch - from 100 € (you often see sellers who do not know that it's worth more money to get rid)

I had to buy a footswitch (attention + 30 €), as often, OCCAZ it is missing. (Thus providing extremely useful on stage, and a volume pedal)

it messing with the purchase - the input jack borked, but it is a defect of aging Marshall at the time: that crachotent knobs and jack that Dessoude, nothing that can not be repaired in an afternoon and we left for 10 years. a lamp and a 15 € Phew, we feel income 20 years ago.

I use it in apartment to play with the same distortion, no worries at its low and I use it on stage without a problem (volume 3, I'm already "too high") so he was under the sole

value for money: Because of the sound, saw fishing and saw the price, one can hardly find any better when looking for its hot metal and who knows how fat is something else.
I use it with Gibson Les Paul BFG and Explorer, and a BC Rich Stealth Chuck Shuldiner Tribute

I love: its sound is clean, it's bold, it's hot, it's versatile. low volume as high.
I like it: his old evil, therefore be expected to repair, you just know and be careful if you are not handy or if you want to put 50-60 € in a repair shop.

for the record, I play with 3 other guitar player on stage when I bought it, they all tried since they all bought the same. 1 for the metal, the other 2 for the brit pop rock and 70's French rock and none regretted his choice.

es that I will ever be the same choice: yes and if I find her big brother with the choruses and the 2 built in stereo speakers, definitely.

a board for beginners or younger: Before you go to buy a 30 watt dung art just because it's nine, made the test and pay you slice it ... this it helps to begin to have good sound. it motivates the following
