All user reviews of 1/5 for the Marshall 8240 ValveState S80 Stereo Chorus

This amp is an amp mixed with a 12AX7 tube in the floor of prampli and a transistor amplifier.
It's open back combo of 2 * 40W (2HP celstion GT12 [12 inches] 4 ohms)
the connection is quite simple:

Front:
between a
a mono preamp output
2 entries in the power section (one per channel amplifier is a stro)

At the rear:
2 outputs (left / right) for mixing console
A plug for the footswitch provided.

effects:
channel 1 clean / crunch (non-switching button controllable via footswitch)
overdrive channel 2 (with rglage the 'contour')

-> We switch from channel 1 to 2 via the footswitch

a spring reverb (not controllable via footswitch)
Stereo chorus (controllable via footswitch)

Note that if you plug your guitar in between and we try to insert an effects loop DNAS prvue this purpose, part of the signal remains untreated .. damage (effects loop parallle?)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is quite simple: you plug, you play.

Get a good sound is more dlicat, especially on the clean channel quite "flat", as in
Most of Marshall ...

by against the distortion and chorus are rather Russian

a large black dot much background noise it breaks the ears!

the power section of which is soon screaming up the volume and it breaks your ears for a change.

the manual only Submitted functionality of the device in a rather haphazard: there is only one manual for the Valvestate The series is also I tl chargeable on the site of Marshall http://www.marshallamps.com/resources/downloads.asp?dowloadGroupId=2

SOUNDS

This amp is for someone who plays rock a little muscle but to get a big sound, it may be to consider buying a metal pedals such zone.
Anyway I will change my lamp (I'll put an electro-harmonix) and see if the distortion s'paissit

Good .. after changing my lamp by Electro-Harmonix, the sound is much better compared to the original lamp marshall, but it is only my opinion. background noise is still as Submitted.

I play this amp with a Jackson PS2, mainly distortion thoroughly, but the clean sound is finally usable boff anything. may need to be the color with a bit of reverb or chorus.
I'm not a fan of the sound clear, but it's going good all the same.

background noise very Submitted ruins everything.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this amp for about 9 months.

I like the chapter are:

- The distortion, chorus.
- Price: carrment we found for cheap.
- The supplied footswitch.
- The HP celestion
- The acoustic power output

Chapter I like least are:
- The weight (21.8 kg is heavy anyway and I have three floors to go adscendre RPET my!)
- The potentiomtres belching: a shame for years marshall economise on these accessories. It serves their image to save a MISR: dbile! (It looks good to go better with a stroke of eight bomb, but it's not an excuse to mount marshall knobs also cheap!)
- Lack of Accessibility assistive technology software to replace the lamp (you have everything apart, even if it's easy, it's not an excuse)
- The change in volume when you put the chorus (it plays a little louder!)
- The reliability of these devices is zero (hence the nickname "marchemal") sometimes there are inexplicable cuts and random image of her. they are dried welding problem. one solution to resolder the beast. mine the fate of other Repair Tool, but problems persist

It's not a good quality price, the sound is not great, the reliability concerns carrment and it unsaleable. rather put a little more money and make something better.
