All-100w lamps, a very simple facade: a 3-band eq and presence of a knob
-2 Channels:
Clean with a gain, and a master reverb
Lead with the same thing, a gain, and a master reverb
So two spares for this reverb amp (its strong point)
-An effects loop, direct output (output pramp), 2 HP

UTILIZATION

The sound is a little time, I play metal and this amp makes it good! (Slayer does not play does not JCM900 on the way).
It is advisable to use it as a head, not combo, the sound is too limited to 2x12 ". But still has an advantage of being able to play it by repeating 'without having to lug around a body with 4x12" ...

SOUNDS

Unlike what they say, the clear sound is more than adequate, just push a little master (having a history of what the lights!). A warm and round the Marshall.
Lead gives a saturation that goes from a slight crunch distortion aggressive, but to get a really extreme sounds, you really heat lamps: volume 5 / 6 of the master and gain max. This gives a very aggressive distortion but lacks a lot of bass if you stay on the combo.
I put 10 for the clear sound for lead and 6. ... So an average of 8 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

For an all-tube amp, the price is unbeatable. I use it for over 3 years and its strong points are its typical Marshall (hot hot hot!) And its dual reverb (one per channel).
With experience, I highly recommend him stick a 4x12 "in the behind! and play combo e Repeat '(2x12" by repeating "it's more than enough!).
This is an amp that takes off the eardrums if pushed enough but lacks bass combo.
