All user reviews of 4/5 for the Marshall VS230R

I got this amp in the Classifieds section because I had just gotten a new guitar and I didn't want to pay too much but wanted quality too. I bought it at a bargain price of $230 when it can easily go for $400.

What I like most about this amp is it has a foot switch for distortion and chorus. This is also a good price for the sound it puts out. It has two speakers of 65 watts each and the enitre unit is about 36" x 20"x 10". it also has a jack so you can plug in headphones. There is also a DI Output so you can hook it up to recording or PA equipment.

The thing I dont like about it is that there isn't an input jack for a cd or tape player so you can listen better to a song you might be trying to play.

It is sturdily built and its sound output is great.

All in all this is a great amplifier that I would definately have second thoughts about selling. It has plenty of output jacks and is definately worth the price.

The controls are simple:

Saturated channel: gain, bass, contour (mid treble, volume
Common Settings:

Chorus: Speed ​​(rate), depth

2 switch footswitch channel relayed by the 1 / 2 and chorus on / off

if somewhat basic connectivity

Input
Footswitch
Direct output L & R

UTILIZATION

The setup is fairly simple, it happens quite quickly to a result.

The manual is useless

For a transistor distortion sound is cool (and does not blow itself (at full power without distortion play means no hum)

Some regrets:
No regulation of medium on the clean channel
No effects loop

The chorus is very effective and really gives the magnitude of the sound.
Two settings: as a traditional chorus or so in boost for solos:
speed and then the kids onregle depth depending on the volume that you want to solo

SOUNDS

It should be enough to my style of music even if the distortion is ex officio a minimum "muscular"

So I play / played it with an Ibanez 170DX and Lag Arkane AM 100.
The light is surprising: after you change the guitar at all, with electric rock sound was crystalline enough (corect them are quite effective) eten plugging a guitar jazz jazzy sound was super credible (well not saturate it slightly like a lamp but it will do very well already.

I like the channel saturation but tends to remove the personality of the guitar. That said there is no lack of dynamics and when we play the slight decrease distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it until I loose (well I'm not quite sure ... maybe it means there to save him). His input jack is almost dead and he changed the channel on your own ...

What I like is the chorus which allows passage rhythm / solo efficace.Les sounds that are correct then my time ...

What I regret is the lack of effects loop (maybe see how a fiddle and it would be above top) of its medium setting of clear and no master volume
For value for money is a gift that I was therefore virtually unbeatable.
