Value For Money : Excellent
Amp hybrid: a lamp to emulate the sound, everything else is transistors.
Marshall Announces 100W, set next to a JCM900 with 8 HP 12 ", this" little "amp is not ridiculous ... It's good 100W ... Popuri electronics" plastic ", that is bluffing.
Complete connectivity: effects loop, footswitch channel select, 2 HP, a headphone that mutes the sound when you plug the headset (yes, logic ...) and the small exit "emulated" magic to go straight in the mixer ...
All settings that Paut wait on an amp of this size, three-channel, shared eq for both channels saturated, and overdrive on channel 2 the famous "contour" which acts on the midrange for a wide range of sounds .

UTILIZATION

Little we used to be amplifiers, nothing confusing, super simple, there's only to turn and there are ... Almost plug and play ...
To get the sound you want to micropoil, spend a few minutes, because there are many settings, but not need an engineering degree. All is well.
I have never seen the manual, but he did not fail ... However, I know that at Marshall, they are very complete.

SOUNDS

Again, the level is surprisingly ... This is certainly not a JCM but it works pretty well for the price, it really is not stolen ...
It can be used with any type of guitar, enthusiasts single or double, you get your happiness ... Marshall clean sounds are not super famous, but largely listening las two overdrive channels allow all levels of the crunchy overdrive fat enough ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp to a friend who gave up the guitar for really cheap, I saw one at € 200 (OCCAZ of course ...) there is little time to shop, and he who achgeté has not been stolen from me.
It's super reliable (advantage of transistors, it is often forgotten), solid, it's more than a match for a drummer, an excellent price / quality ratio, I would say if one is 300 € ... But it is above its rating, so it is less ...
An excellent choice if you want to redo the power and his honorable with a limited budget ... I prefer tubes, but this one, I still jealously guards!
