I was looking for a small tube amp with 2 channels. I bought it in summer 2002 at Klangfarbe, Vienna (Austria). It is a 2001 show floor model and cost EUR 720,-

I like the perfect Marshall tube sound and the two channels. For a mellower overdrive between "clean" and "crunch" I have a Marshall BluesBreaker-2 pedal.

I replaced the stock speaker with a Celestion Greenback, for a much better and more '60s vintage sound.
A seperate reverb for the channels would be nice.

My amp is great, no lose screws or cables which seems to be common with Marshall amps. Maybe this is because mine was not new out of the box but was a demonstration unit in the shop for some months and they fixed it.

If you are looking for a not too loud tube amp, this is a great model. Advantage: Power tube saturation kicks in earlier with these little amps.
It offers pure Marshall sound. The clean channel is pretty clean, the crunch channel goes from "overdrive" to "death metal"
