UTILIZATION

The grip is quite simple, over a manual is provided with a page showing the last several possibilities for settings as styles of play For example, I tested the config by accident british rock is proposed in the manual and I was not disappointed: it's low volume and thunder on stage I do not even speak.
The presence of a switch for the effects of modeling is very nice for an amp of this price and is very often.

Breff different examples can be done by hand and soon we know how to adjust the amplifier according to a particular song.

SOUNDS

In terms of sound I was very, very surprised but then. In fact, the amp really sound unlike marshall MG series that sound dirty and indefinite. In addition to the aging of the lamp and good settings gives an almost vintage sound could not be more pleasant.
It is regrettable however that the clean channel is not up to the distortion. I blame him for his side dish that is perfectly adjusted to the JVM and JCM series.
Side effects modeling can be both surprised and disappointed. Indeed, the reverb is beautiful, she's really Floydienne Pink! Similarly, the chorus is quite nice. By setting aside is not against top: two buttons with one to adjust the intensity and the other to adjust the percentage of signal. So I can say I like the effects but not the settings.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is definitely worth its weight, due to its ease of use and its sounds very nice. Modeling the effects are mostly amazing and are handy to replace a few pedals from time to time.
I am disappointed against the sound power supplied, in fact it is a 100W that has everything except a 100W audio power. The sound can still be strong enough but not enough for some scenes ...

In terms of price / quality ratio is good but not exceptional nine. By hand against the price / quality ratio is exceptional and without competition possible.

If I had to redo this choice I do it again without a doubt, Marshall is a great amplification and proves without a doubt in this amp.
