Jean Dirépaplus « "Class" is nothing to say »
Published on 09/04/12 at 09:58Mine is a V3 purchased in May 2012. It is equipped with the "low power mode" in which series can be used easily at home.
For more detailed specifications, see the notice or other site builder.
On power, it is a 5 watts that trunk. The date of purchase I compared it with some of these competitors (Blackstar HT5 and Fender Champion 600). The least one can say is that it pushes the guy!
HP makes really good.
UTILIZATION
It is a breeze. The panel offered by the eq is not monstrous but it is enough to adapt to guitars tested (lag roxane standard strat mex, Gibson LP and SG).
The sound is good with all those guitars, then it's a matter of taste.
The volume can manage the drive. Well this is one of the main points discussed. With the "low power" mode (on older versions the manip is not very hard to achieve apparently) two uses are possible: at home (frankly it goes in any case I am not confused with my neighbors) and in small groups (if you play alone in bars, that makes him outright). For a larger group "complete" with a drummer that will but only drive. Play with two amps it can be nice too (one clear and the Marshall).
SOUNDS
It's beautiful!
After several years of complete cessation of the guitar (big wrist problems, no it's not what you think!) I could get back to a few months ago. But I had no amp. I was off in search of a simple amp with good sound.
I tried a lot of models: Fender (Blues Junior Champion and 600), Blackstar, Vox AC 15, Laney Cub 12R. Marshall once connected by a seller exhausted, the case was heard in a few seconds ...
A clear round and warm with low volume, really nice. A powerful drive a little muddy but really cool. I prefer to play to the limit (4 on the volume is going to say), it's really the crying. The work volume is very interesting. Duplication of Roxane really are to their advantage.
The amp has a reputation to accept the pedals. My opinion is that it is sufficient to itself, it has a sound and you buy it for her. I still have a few pedals:
- Little Big Muff: I tried, I insisted, I gave a little better with the Strat with Roxane.
- The DS-1, not bad at all but it still blows ... but suddenly I feel that I can send a "modder" to use it more often.
- Small Clone, nice on the clear stuff for a little jazzy. To avoid the drive.
Good to see my collection, you understand that I'm not a big user of effects. I use the amp mostly live. But I'd better test with a Tube Screamer (Maxon OD-9 makes me a little eye anyway).
OVERALL OPINION
So an amp "old." We buy because we fell in love with this sound.
And when you love, issues management challenges the power of the beast becomes secondary. And then use it fared very well.
This amp is, it is a philosophy oriented towards simplicity, I recommend using it with the least artifice possible.
I think this amp may suit a experienced guitarist who loves his Marshall "roots". Should be all that is blues / rock.
Having stopped a long time and have to work a lot for me to upgrade also makes me think that this amp would be ideal for someone who has one or two experiences. The ease with which we can work volume and the fact that the lamps promote the development of touch make this amp a good entry in ranges rather nice. From a pedagogical point of view, it seems to be a much better choice than a transistor modeling.
When the price, its got the worth it.
Try it.
