I have some ready in time. 2 channels reverb 2 1 2 2 volumes equalizer master volume. A loop, a power pedals, and a switch to lower the power by half. What a joke, it's always too much!

4 lamps 34, a driver ECC83 and two ECC83 preamp lamps. Rectification diodes as always.
2 celestion g12t75 16ohms, compact amp not too too heavy thanks to the handles big size

Construction: The frame is enclosed on the sides, the metal is very thick, there are two printboards in, the bases of the lamps are soldered directly on the PCB but screwed to the chassis and connected by cables to print. It's a good job, pro. I consider any connected with the bases of lamps on the print as junk and a beautiful scam.
It is a good amp, madame!

The copy test is also old, and nickel works.

UTILIZATION

It's childish, the two reverbs are for sth, you can have lots of reverb in the clear and very little in Graoua. As long as they were able to z'auraient a loop for each channel to be top.

I was surprised by the drive channel for once a bass. The clean channel is missing, but if pushed from 2hrs is more dirty and bassy.

In practice I put some treble, midrange and bass adonf 10hrs'

Very little background noise when the guitar is good. Distortion in a fender thoroughly with the public will shoot you as boss' ...

Really easy to manage as amp, you know where you are and where we go.

SOUNDS

Ben, is thin but clean contrary to popular belief exploitable with a fender jazz guitar, less trafficked in the frequencies.

I use a les paul passive, one active, one Barden telecaster style, an ibanez satch style.

The super clean channel responds to simple side handle, double or split, the low level of the guitar can push the gain and have a lively sound and shimmering.

The other channel given the relative low level of distortion is better off with doubles, and more with the assets (60a emg on my les paul tribute 60s) in that a layer is added to the crunchy distortion, it's strange but super nice. Zakk's what its there.

I can imagine that passive pickups through a boost pedal gives a similar result.

The game adonf distortion sounds good in separate agreements with lots of delicious harmonic overlapping, it is addictive but is a scratch that takes the agreement.

Only disaster on the board, I plugged in my amp and ibanez RG7 collapses completely, it's a little too serious for him there ...

OVERALL OPINION

I will not play a lot with a lot, I have on loan and it's not what I want in fact. But I think I appreciate the true value for its its not doctored and frankly, it's great to know where you are with an electric setup.

Every guitar sounds different, even those that are quite similar (les paul studio worn 60s tribute and such) in the construction, marshall is therefore transparent.

There's something with the old marshall is that by scratching a very aggressive and very aggressive hp ben the result is pretty sweet. Bizarre, alchemy ...

Of course I not put the notes Max, I keep in mind the price charged by the manufacturer for this product, really cheap but time has proved its worth.
