Corsaire01 « like a charm »
Published on 07/02/12 at 01:195W tube amp
Input, 3 band EQ + volume.
headphone jack and connection for HP Supp 16ohms
Since the third revision, alias the 2011 model, Marshall added a power limiter switch and fixed some recurring problems of unpleasant vibrations carried over previous models.
UTILIZATION
Configuration could not be more simple, you plug it work.
The manual is there but really not necessary with so little adjustments.
SOUNDS
The sound you charm, it is well on the Marshall!
One might be afraid of the sound reproduction with an HP 10 inch custom Celestion but has done its office, there are serious and are generous.
One might regret the absence of two gain knobs-volume, but as we get closer to the spirit of the early '60s Marshall models (one begins to Hendrix?), The first third is clean, the second third it crunche and finally saturates it, simple.
The limiter can go crunché / saturated without blowing the windows to land or your neighbors.
if you like the effects it will turn to a pedal or pedals, no trick here.
OVERALL OPINION
In the envelope of 5W tube, I hesitated quite a Black Star, after there was also a Mesa Boogie (ouch my purse!) But the Marshall with his style and uncompromising ultra stripped attracted me most, the adding the limiter on the combo since 2011 (not available on the model head) has finished me sell it.
As always it's trying to see if the sound is what we seek, we are on the Marshall sound then "typed Marshall" is there.
