Value For Money : Excellent
- Amp 100Watts - 4ohms Transistor
- 2 speakers 50Watts 12Pouces - 8ohms
- 3 Channels: Clean and Drive / More Drive
- 3-band EQ for clean channel
- 3-band EQ Mid Contour Switch + 1 for Channel Drive / More Drive
- Effects loop (Preamp Out - Power Amp In) or line out (preamp out only)
- 1 Spring Reverb
- Pedal 2 buttons: Changing channels (Clean / Drive) and More Drive button

For that price a very good config, not the damage he n'yait Mid Contour switch on the pedal, but in Marshall either.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, volume and EQ, channel change ...
No need for manual!

SOUNDS

- By clean, we get a very fast excellent, nothing to say.
- However it is more difficult to find a good sound drive, as evidenced by all the other opinion;
One is tempted to play fast on channel More Drive (Drive channel appearing less powerful) and we get to the extreme: a very powerful but very rough and very very breath set to 2 / 10.
Do not necessarily kill the amp! know the channel and push the More Drive channel drive has 8 or 9 / 10, with lots of treble, mids at 4 with Contour Mid and low between 3 and 4, this gives a good crunch, but few Versatile ... then use an effects pedal for other sounds.
Metalhead abstain.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month with a Fender-Squier Black & Chrome Stratocaster.
I love the most, like everyone else, the Fender clean sound perfect though.
It has nothing to envy to Marshall on this point.
I play rock crunch thus obtained drive is fine with me, but could generate people who want to sound more metal and most versatile ...
For that I had a couple multi-effects pedal Korg AX1500G as this amp is a very good price / quality ratio.
With experience I can be considered a Marshall MG100DFX a little more expensive but, maybe not ...
