UTILIZATION

The setup is simple:
volume, bass and treble controls for clean channel
Low volume, treble, mid and gain for the overdrive channel.

for the effects we have a knob to select the effect and others to adjust the depth or intensity.

Is easily obtained with a good sound settings manually, otherwise tampering with a little one gets to have the sound you desire.

SOUNDS

It is particularly suited to my style of music I play everything but at the time where I had bought it I was in my period as metal.
The Overdrive channel delivers more sound metal so the amp does not suit everyone but if you use a conmptez effects pedal on the clean channel.
The delay effect on the overdrive channel gives a nice sound I think, especially to play some solos.
The clean channel is not too bad either, we come to settle for a sound like stairway to heaven.
simulation of tube amps do not seem to me important, I do not feel any difference.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I use it and I do not understand the negative opinions of people is a very good amp, it does not amount to a marshall lamp but it's still an excellent amp.
I tried the Line 6 spider 3 and another peavey 30 watts, of the three was the marshall who had the best sound.
If I had to repeat the same choice it will be a big yes.
Excellent value for money.
