    SOUNDS

    It suited my style of music (heavy) I played with an Epiphone G400 LH rises with a micro EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) and a Zoom Tri Metal
    sound has become a long and clear channel trs disappointing lack of fullness too bland and too thin overdrive lack of punch (among so I was playing on mesa) and I know the difference and its incomparable view overwhelming but good sound marshall TEWT disappointing all their chelon amp either lamp or hybrid transo but the price I would say you are rather attractive.
    Most of this amp is the power that the sound becomes mushy when you push the watts and stereo chorus. I tried the vs265 with a baffle and bin extention has lost!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used since 1998
    The best: easy to repair when a pepain (he has already caught fire again).
    The less the weight and sound.
    I did not try anything else before I bought it for 2500 francs a great opportunity '
    over time I would do cechoix for price / power but not sound.

    - A transistor amplifier
    - 2 X 65 watt
    - A guitar input, input output effects loop, multiple outputs to another amp

    UTILIZATION

    There is no simple, we rule the buttons on each channel (there are 3), select the channel thanks to the footswitch and hopla, we forget not to scratch the guitar huh?

    SOUNDS

    is ideally suited to my style of music (I play the rock) and I can spend a rhythmic solo sound is impcable and without any other effect pedals.
    Well, it's not a great multi purpose, your exact a little better with pedals.
    Otherwise I've used in several concert, I'm very happy? Now I serve as a monitor or on stage and I was taken with the house rpter. it's really a …

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 3 years, I bought it used, just in a hurry by urgent that I needed an amp
    What I like most about this is that apli is compact, lightweight and has 3 channel, and there is always in short, it's great when you will make little beef, I do not need to lug my heavy hardware (I also have a tube amp mesaboogie, the massacre lol)
    Great value quality price, for what occasion has a 300's worth, whether to do it again, I do it again

    Transistor amplifier 2x65W
    3-channel preamp lamp, clean, OD1 and OD2.
    Effects loop, headphone output and additional HH
    EQ 2
    Reverb and chorus effects

    UTILIZATION

    Config ultra simple.
    You branch, you turn the volume, quick equalization and rings.

    The manual n'appred nothing special.

    SOUNDS

    Clean neutral frankly, it always left me indifferent, we can do much better. OD 1: this is the best channel. Looking back (purchase 98) this is really bluesy crunch with a nice attack.
    OD 2: At first I was seduced. Now, what imprecision! But I play a lot of metal, the rhythm is very dirty but still good it can happen. When you release the agreements is the trouble, solo…

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 7 years. And here is the end. I will spent at MESA.
    I wish it were a Marshall, its power and 2 HP. Its intuitive, easy to use.
    The sound somewhat like but over the years is the point behind (not low) for me, the sound is undefined, cold OD2. And do not connect the pedal on the clean channel, the pedal is literally unnatural.

    At the time I felt like I bleed level price, but now we must say that the price / power / look is excellent. The amp I'm dreaming, especially because I go to Marshall. 7 years ago I would do this choice. For cons, I waited too long to change it!

    Open-back of the combo, allowing to store cables and footswitch VERY handy for gigs :-)

    -A typical transistor, I would never compare it to a tube sound ...
    Very versatile, we regret the stereo effect loop to its predecessor the 8280.
    -Coupled with my GX700, the beast spit venom easier because, admittedly, the distortion channels are ... Rather mild and friendly than aggressive and deep.
    -To add the additional baffle: put the combo on, connect the cables and enjoy :-) The difference is striking power.

    SOUNDS

    As I said, there's no lights. some c ... light for many of the large metal Bourin. There's no photo, compare apples to apples. That's rock while nice, unpretentious.

    I quite like the reliability of the machine. NEVER any worries. Sound still too powerful, even in the face of live lamps.

    I put 6 PCQ simply that it would be any more my style. For the rest it is an investment that I made almost 10 years ago (or now, I know ... it goes too fast). I have never regretted it, until my first tube preamp ...

    Indeed, that is why he is for sale! :-) (Benoit.becker @ gmail.com)

    OVERALL OPINION

    Always used, I wanted to replace my old 8080 (bin like everyone else, I had one) by 8280 (very nice stereo effects), but Marshall had come to market. The vs265 attracted me so there are now nearly 10 years.

    At the time, not possible to achieve the budget for mesa or laney or tsl and good ... I had an undeniably attractive price ...

    7 J'lui dishes because he deserves, but will not make this choice taking into account my current requirements (income / sound / experience /...)

    Amp hybrid, one 12AX7 preamp in order to give personality to the sound. Marshall Gold Back 2HP .3 channels, 2x60 watts, reverb with two separate settings Clean / Crunch-Disto. A chorus on the same principle to dress the whole.
    A MIDDLE BASS TREBLE equalizer for the clean channel, another for channels (crunch-distortion)
    A tone-shift switch mediums to dig in Clean.
    A power switch dimension common to all channels to simulate low-volume, has pushed an amp block.
    A knob "contour" crunch distortion in the medium to dig or cut (very effective).
    A headphone jack, a loop effect, DI filtered output stereo.

    I am looking for but I do not see what is missing ..

    UTILIZATION

    Very simple to use, all settings are immediately audible and effective.
    It sounds without the fuss or bricolage.Tout intuitif.Un is well thought out and without fail.

    SOUNDS

    Highly reactive and dynamic, I play it without external effects for the most part. It is more than enough on its own.
    Sounds cleans have personality unlike what has been ecrit.Assez mediums in all, this feature can be accented with tone-shift button.
    By varying the position and micro égalistion it is possible to scan a wide range sonore.Rajoutez it has a touch of Chorus and Reverb integrated and c is presqe parfait.Ouaip special mention for the chorus, it is really very good and above Stereo which makes all the difference.
    No I have not practiced too much crunch on this amp, not that they repelled me, but that s not my cup of thé.Ce too that I can nevertheless say that they are c m have not appeared in the features, very different from the disto.Mais I am not an expert in the field.
    The distos .... Haaaaa the distos =). It sounds, it has the character a grain (of Marshall), the loupiotte doing a very good office.Le knob "contour" can cut the sound to go to a rock sound well its a medium trash in less time that it takes for n dire.L egalistion is very effective and has tremendous reserves of acute but also lets them down completely.

    Note that the DI output transplanted directly into my sound card is excellent! Both in clean saturé.De that in addition it is possible to bypass the exit Be HP meta nt a jack into the socket casque.Ideal for work without being hated by its neighbors.
    L You'll understand that I love!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 10 years I think.
    At the time I had bought, I had also tried the VS 100, in the same series that was not m Strongly believes his cabinet to the narrow single day spending.

    Jai also Triamp H & K, c is very different but I have a lot of fun to go from one to the other.
    Overall c is a great amp, very consistent, comprehensive, effective and well pensé.Il n I are no longer manufactured crois.Si I had to buy a Marshall TSL 602 I would take a while lamp. Al epoque But I had not sub and then he was not out yet n especially
    Here n so if you're not very wealthy and looking for a complete and versatile amp (but very typical marshall) Do not hesitate he bargains lurking on ebay or audio fanzine.

    12AX7 preamp tube and transistor amplifier.

    The construction is particularly strong: in concert, I jumped on it many times with my guitar on my shoulder and 80 kg, it did not budge. He fell several times (cold thankfully) and there is still going strong ... There's no secret, Marshall is solid.
    Effects: reverb excellent spring (3), stereo chorus incredible efficiency and expressiveness. 2 channels: clean and crunch / distortion. 3 channel EQ on each channel.

Switches "bright" to add clarity to the sound and "power dimension" that simulates the operation of the lamp pushed to the bottom ...!

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration simple: you plug the jack, you go up the sound (not too much, 130 watts anyway!) And it sounds good. In Revenge, for one its really proper, you have to spend time (a lot) and learn to tame the EQ and play with the little switches.

    Manuel? What manual? The day I would read a textbook, it will be for an iron!

    SOUNDS

    It is perfect for my style of music that is: all the music! Of course, I play mostly rock. The clean sound is very dense without being stifled, perhaps a little too warm in the bass and midrange to hot jazz and bossa, is ideal. the crunch is perfect, easily adjustable from the small grain bluesy overdrive until the greasy Oasis style. The channel distortion ets high performance for all types of music except metal. Indeed, it offers plenty of gain while keeping a balanced sound and warm. Under no circumstances shall be liable to dig the sound to make metal ...

    I play with a Epiphone Les Paul with EMG Zakk Wylde kit (81-85). I only use very few pedals because this amp is part of my game, my universe.

    I appreciate his clear and distortion particularly hot pushed to the bottom ... which can be dirty as clean and plaintive wish ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought this amp 6 years ago in an individual who sold it because his neighbor could not withstand the fiery solos!

    What I like most:
    -Strength
    It's clean
    Disto-sound "plaintive"
    -Between him and me is a love story and that's it!

    What I like least:
    The power-too important. Even in the open air, you do not push it fully, it is well worth the power of a 100W lamp ... I can tell you
    Its weight-! seriously, it weighs as heavy as a dead donkey!

    Value for money: love!
    With experience?! of course I would do this choice!
