SOUNDS

I get to the "interesting" Where I want to express myself, I just read the
opinion and I am a bit surprised.

I sincerely ask the question in the interest of the lamp in this amp.
Why?
Well, it's simple, remove, and try to hear the difference, with the same side retaining the lamp ... So, well here, that it be or not, you do not feel the difference.

Big problems typical marshall is asthmatic critters there, it blows incredibly. Unbearable!

The overall tone of the amp, marshall typical: too much treble.
The sound may seem hot, but in fact it is an illusion, it completely hides the character of the guitar you plug into it.

And when pushed a little strange that crackles as if it had placed too high a gate input, weird (maybe it was mine)

The clean sounds are not too bad after all, fairly bright, but I have this feeling that they give a clear side "metallic" sound.

The crunch?? I do not recall a sound interesante with the channel on crunch combo

The distos, Marshall typed as always, full of medium and treble that feedback (too well) quickly. Go ahead and blow it, it seems to be sitting next to a fryer.
Nice to have fun at home, but it does not break 3 feet a duck, you have to practice a distortion in short.

This amp has a strong point, but in fact it is not thanks to Marshall, but Accutronics is the reverb is excellent.

But finally, I have found another use for this amp ...

OVERALL OPINION

Half a score of years that you have in my box set
I appreciate: the reverb.
I hate: the sound
Quality / price ratio:, bah OCCAZ of € 200, given the sound, I find it expensive compared to other competitors in the same range so try to home Attax Series Hughes & Kettner).

In addition, electronics, and the welds are of very poor quality, they dry very quickly and you will start to issue apli cracking in all directions. Redo the welds is an investment too expensive for what this amp is.

Fortunately, we gave it to me, otherwise I would not have bought it, and if I had to buy an amp, it would certainly not this one.

I could not sell it, and I have found a very nice use: I transferred all the electronics and have kept the carcass with the celestion on how I connected a jack. The output of the preamp in and it makes me a guitar back not too bulky: D
