Unfortunately 100% transistor, or the lamp fell preamp?

UTILIZATION

Classic ... except that, compared to second generation Valvestate (+ / - 1998) I have always, there are only two selectable channels instead of three independent channels on the real VSII, and above all, more Lamp in preamp that's a lot ... and that changes everything!

SOUNDS

As I said above ... changes everything.
I just compared the two amps, and there ... the slap, clear sound all too soft or slamming, no finesse in the equalization, no grain, and it is not "gain" of the canal just solve the problem, it can bring some energy but certainly not bite, much less the color or heat as may give the preamp tube VSII.
The second problem is size ... more third independent channel! To choose a nickname crunch with claen, one or the other? The lead is average and the setting is simply an outline of medium boost to the left or right pad, nothing to do with the contour model, which shook the grain VSII modern genre or the genre expanded vintage.
The Hp is unknown to the battalion, they were on the VSII "Celestion gold back." Last, the box is closed and high-volume, one senses quickly that the carcasses can not bear not the energy generated cone, which generates low invasive and inaccurate.

To save money on everything for (presumably) to add an effect section (a fashion) ... I'm not sure everyone will enjoy.

OVERALL OPINION

I played on most major brands including numerical simulations, and the question I ask myself is:
why such a step backwards? A great brand like Marshall should not she use this success to offer at least equivalent quality to his previous series?

When I turn the VSII just after the MG ... I almost feel like playing on a full tube ... enough said.
