The characteristics of bobmorane06 are very well described, I will not dwell on it.

UTILIZATION

Boost:
Gain tone volume
Clean:
volume bass middle trebble
Master:
volume and reverb
Unfortunately, it is playing at a certain level for failing to surprise with the sound, the kind that "splits" or chewing gum ^ ^

I have a Peavey Classic 30, I use the Marshall to work and frankly, I like it
Probably because it's my first real amp! (Bought used in 1995 to 1500fr)
I never sell! Finally I hope ...

SOUNDS

I get a very good with my strat crunch, pushing the volume and clean thoroughly by turning the master volume at 2-3. As against the coup.Mais not clean with what I play this not a big deal!
Add to that a whole series of effects and disto (TS9 among others)
Boost for the part, I try to have a saturation light, and such, I add my various distortion (TS9-fuzz-octavia-rat)

The clean is nice no more, and made to push the volume thoroughly clean adds warmth.

OVERALL OPINION

So I since 1995. Too bad the HP is in 4ohms because it delivers a nice round.
And yes, I referrer this choice without worry.
Faced with a marshall or a fender hotrod dsl401 I have owned and although I always came back on my Mosfet ...
Good now, with the classic 30 is more the same report
