Any transistor amp
Clean channel: volume, bass, treble
saturated channel: gain, bass, mid-contour, treble, volume
+ A spring reverb
one speaker
the body is pretty impressive for an amp of this power
connection: input jack, input jack for CD player, pedal input channel switching, line out jack output, headphone jack (6mm always!)
I find it rather unfortunate that there have not output to external speakers, which would be to push a little more easily and play with a drummer, but it is not necessarily the aim of this type of amp ... on the other hand can deplore the absence of effects loop.
A setting of mediums on the clean channel would not necessarily have been the luxury either.
UTILIZATION
Operation is very simple, there are not many settings.
Do not hesitate to use the race of the knobs, you can work the sound very effectively.
The manual gives examples of settings and explains the usefulness of the various knobs, you can do without.
SOUNDS
The previous opinion seems to me fair enough, personally I'm starting to realize that this is not the amp that suits me (that I play a lot less rock than before!).
The sound is centered rock / blues "by Marshall" does mean something, but I have not tried a lot of "real" marshall to say whether there is a special "park" really strong.
It seems however that the "real" marshall come out more easily in the field "fat sound very heavy." The sounds are actually quite versatile, but fans of crystal clear sound and distortion to the piercing Brian May will go elsewhere.
This leaves all that is blues / rock crunchy (overdrive knob at 9 am!), Rhythmic punk and rock n'roll solo (overdrive knob at noon), rock and heavy metal and hardcore (overdrive knob at the bottom).
Use for big rock rhythm and solo metal is where this amp excels: overdrive bottom, lower at noon, boosted treble a little, a little edge to grow and we get all super easy with a big sound a distortion of excellent quality. With a humbucker in acute and granted in drop D is easy to take his foot!
Overall this amp gives a very good sound regardless of the setting being asked, but boosted channel seems more interesting than the clean channel. The reverb is spring and sounds great (very warm and musical).
EDIT: I had the good opportunity to try a lot of amp in a range slightly above recent (combos than a hundred watt with more possibilities) and ben frankly I was surprised to nullity of saturations. I had never really done before gaffe becaufe the clear sounds of other amps I had tried seemed to me better (but that's more a matter of taste: I prefer the brighter sound).
But at the disto he is doing really well my little park: Marshall Valvestate even (I tried both) seem to me ugly and cold side ...
Too bad this is only a 30W ...
Well I go back the sounds of a point!
OVERALL OPINION
This is my first amp, I found myself with that because I listened to rock when I started the electric guitar. My parents had offered me, so I can not say anything about the price / quality ratio!
Today I realize that this is not the right amp that I play, but it gave me great pleasure when a schoolboy, I dub rhythms and the sex pistols nofx (ah youth !). But I do not know if I sell it, it's a good amp that can be useful in its way.
The defects I cited about the possibilities (effects loop absent, only two bands EQ on the clean channel, only one speaker ...) and power attest: this amp is an amp to play at home and / or to get started.
It is nevertheless a powerful 30W: it is possible to play with a drummer if he buggers too.
So I would recommend primarily for beginners punkrockers or metal rockers or even at all, wishing a good big sound not taking up too much space in their room, but powerful enough to have fun and work effectively rhythmic "wall of sound" .
