Small correction which does prcedemment said, it's a hybrid amp with a lamp prampli. A change with wear an Electro-Harmonix (hot) or a Tung-Sol (mtal).
This is my 8240 S80 deuxime trs rather well for home use and rpt.
Do not push the rverbe and chorus as ca soule force but it is a matter of taste.

UTILIZATION

CLEAN:
It's still OK but I do not use it in this canal.Je prefer to have the clean channel with the OD1 lowering the gain, it's better! As the old one.
The crunch, ibid.

OD1:
Great for blues, with a gain rgl to have a clean with notes and a crunch in agreement depending on the attack

OD2:
Super Channel with a grain very particular Marshall.
No need to push the gain to max, it sounds rough if you do not master the guitar or if there are double coils.
Alternatively, put the gain at max and turn down the volume of the guitar.

SOUNDS

Plugs into an Ibanez JS 1000, it sounds fabulous.
Contour button is formidable and allows multiple possibilities of sound.
I prefer to put it back on almost OD2 and 2 / 3 of OD1.

OVERALL OPINION

As I said dj, my deuxime therefore fully satisfied.
The first bought in 1999 and sold after a break in practice.
The second bought a year ago with no regrets after trying models modeling that I was not satisfied (Vox, Behringer, Line 6) and models too expensive lamps.
DARK!
