Transistor amp with a preamp mini lamp, asked for the moon but it does its job;)
Power of 80W, niquel the room and not repeat very little more.
Everything is facade, two channels for use with footswich.
A clean channel with bass middle treble eqs 3 and a switch clean / crunch
A channel boost with eqs 3, a switch OD1/OD2, a contour knob (pretty useful for finding a sound that we like) and one volume.
a send / return to send to another power amp than the 8080
a knob effect (to manage the effects loop or two to play two scratches .... TO AVOID)
Then reverb and master volume, line out.
I put that in comparison to 6 amps coming out loaded with amp simulation etc.

UTILIZATION

Super simple, one branch, some adjustments depending on your guitar and it sounds.
The knob of eq are not super effective, especially at low volume, so do not expect the pure tuning but it is already very enough, we still have a choice!
The manual I have ever had, so I can not tell you, just turn the knobs and just run it's easy to see what happens. but like a lot of amp, qq maladjustment and we sound a little rotten s.

SOUNDS

I play LED ZEPPELIN exclusivity if practically everything related to rock pearl jam, black desire, RATM, red hot, ac / dc, incubus.
I used a ibanez470 and now a Gibson LP studio. Mama mia, I love this guitar. The combination with the marshall is really niquel! The foot is to move to the OD1, gain a bottom and go up the level of amplification of the preamp and a little of the master general! its a super fun for the transistor! The sound is rather fat, with a friend squier sound is drooling over it I have to try us for a true comparison. Otherwise my settings prefried are low on the contour and the rest almost thoroughly when I play at home. For use in ptite repeated (but I repeat it a bit just repeated the sound becomes loud when to align the battery, and his solo from a little twist: s) But for some ca be well, that's my personal opinion.
For typical sound heavier, more "trash" the outline of high thrust, bass and treble a background medium is a good shot and the sound of rhythmic buggers, but then solo ca not give at all.

The most impressive with this amp is that I have to try several, and he did not have all the same sound, that of a friend gave ca really sound too Bzzzz bee in my sound is really typical marshall, more 70's
We can not have any sound but that's not bad, reassured you that want to buy it at all bored with, you just need a good guitar in it so that it becomes really terrible.

The clean sound is really no more, gets stuck on my own and more crunch (ARRF it is very old this amp should have well over 10 years!), So basically I only play on the channel saturated, even for clean sounds, I lower the knob of the guitar, I put in and the OD1 gain at 1 / 4 and honestly the sound is really cool!

I put no more than 8 because there are probably more related to quality but price / her it is the 10

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 8 years, I'm really happy, he accompanied me throughout my delires guitaristic, repeat, and especially pad. I find it really niquel for personal use. In repeated it really is not that it is sorely lacking power.
I try no models at the time before taking it, it was the reference when I started the guitar. I'd pay 1600frs and I never ever regretted his purchase, I can not part with it. Now the sound seems a bit limited but sometimes a surprise even me every day!
+ Crunch, channel diversity of its saturated (despite what you may say)
- Its not really a clean reference, you can not just ask;)
With the experience I remake this choice because it must be said that Marshall is no longer the same amp today m'enfin there is still so much to test it in other brands. For cons for beginners, average players I highly recommend it, and of course the player rock, hard rock, blues, but those who make the metal must go ailleus, even if it's still good hard mousatches Granny lol
