P'tet missing a volume for the clean, although I'm not too gn by its absence ...
Not much to say on this point, go to a 7 for the HP and that stinks a little bit anyway ... damage

UTILIZATION

Simple, RAS

SOUNDS

Well, I play Gibson SG, the original micro level, with a delay, a wah, tremolo DIY a fairly simple rig like.

I liked my VS 100 but I wanted to taste lamps, j'tait not too lost in the buying ...
I liked the clean, much deeper than the VS 100, I find it unfortunate that with my neck pickup j'adoooore not to use it more often in my group. With the bridge pickup the little crunch of the bundles derrire makes me happy too.
The OD one, seemed nice until now, what a Marshall overdrive, but n'tait not love at first sight, I do not put on weight gain, a full quarter of the race of the knob, according to the attack with a punk p'tit cot 77, and any alternative Rican, has suited me and worse c'tait all. But for some weeks I rpeter the sound I was looking for a long time, so force hack, search, he finally killed REALLY!

The DO 2 I of a total unused, for I Feedback dja a DS-1. But hey, it does not cost very much this channel ghost, so no penalty
A 8 to be fair, it's not a 800, but worth it all the same.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about six months, he suits me well until now. But in concert against a Vox AC-30 2 HP's, it is pushing up the level and distribution titillage ears, so I am often forced to tax the baffles some friends that play with us (ValveKing 412, 1960 A, 'j must 'the 1960 TV tries another friend ...). I thought changing the HP, but face the multitude of MODEL I'll probably drop the IDE and test a rather * 12 simultaneously with the Goldback, time will tell ...

I like the sound, the cot combo handy, the price (pay 460 euros including shipping secondhand ...). So a good investment with little sleeves.

EDIT: Since this weekend (RPET 'and concert), I couple with an Orange PPC 112, it's crazy what has brought is better Dfine with a bit more bass, and print to have on the OD1 more than a monstrous overdrive crunch standart, but always with his "true rock'n'roll", better distribution, more no complaints

A good home 8
A big 9 coupled with the speaker, is subjective, but for me the quest of the sound is finished for a while ... j'espre
Re-Edit: over time I feel more and more limited right for me at least sounds (especially the OD I like the clean good), I can not do without one of Orange * 12 so I find a combo of one "small". I am thinking of selling or test other then HP's configs
Must be honest for the price it is far from being catastrophic but I did not get tired so fast so eventually I will put 6

Has good all told we will not add
40W valve amp Full powered.
Nothing is missing level connectivity and features

UTILIZATION

Good setup is as simple as a traditional amp, no need to get out of MIT to get the desired sound.
However, there is a major default configuration, the clean channel has only one button to gain, the button "volume" is not present on this cannal, distinguished engineers Marshall, a potentiometer on the grid of the tube to between, cost and makes no 50centimes teriblemen service.
Simply put, it is difficult to obtain the "pure" especially high volume, there is always a small Relan saturation, not to mention that with the gain less than 2, push the master volume "VERY" above, you can imagine the time lost balance the volume between both channels Audible.

SOUNDS

Is it your style of music?
I do not see a style of music this amp is not comfortable for a little fawn that changes its play and we play the equalizer is just typing the Will of his ...

I use an epiphone supernova (ES335) and stratocaster "Eric Clapton" in the fender. This sounds differently but in all cases, the receiver does not betray the Personal guitar.

The cannal clean is rather successful for the marshall, I like the sound a bit dark and deep, very different from the hot road on which I play sometimes.
In short I like, but if we look on the crystal-clear sound very typical Fender ben ... buy a Hot Road ...
If in addition we add the problem of the button "gain" is a bit complicated to have a "pure" high-volume
Otherwise, by turning knob that damned "gain", we get a vintage sound very aggressive and bite anything wrong, why did this aa t Designed to its mid-saturated type blues.

Let the evil cannal "overdrive". (Why we bought a Marshall I think)
This is just the cot:
Heavy Gun of the old JCM 800's type.
The rock songs from the Smashin 'Pumpkins (who play on a JCM 800 for that matter).
Rock a little more current
Through the almost frenzied punk rock.
We can even equalo with 'V' have his "texturquot; the Satriani (note that this setting is unusable Repeat ')
In short, you have all my overdrive possible "Great." Just a little time to find its settings ...
But if you already have an amp and you have a little ear no problem!

OVERALL OPINION

Well I use this amp for almost 2 years, I like it, it's a good companion, he even rendered great service by amplifying pianos and acoustic guitars sometimes.
What I hate is that damn cannal clean and potentiometer "Volume" absent and the possibility of not being able to gain "0".
I test a lot of models before but widely diffused in the marks.
EDIT: Changing the lamp took place yesterday, so I used the lights for 5 years.

On OCCAZ, it's 500 or the price of a transistor amplifier 100W nine. There is no photo, because of lamp change every 3 years an amp lamp is "indestructible" there are only passive components except lamps and audio transformer are true monsters of quality therefore nothing to fear ! Rings and die.

With experience, if the time I had a bit more budjet (twice as OCCAZ triple nine) I will opt for the head TSL100 + baffle, who owns a little more "finesse" level adjustment, presence and three CHANNELS really separate volume knob and a clean ... Tone Shift and Deep.

Even if the bulk of the base 401 is in the DSL, those who love the sounds settle their hair will shift a little frustrated ...

Finally this amp is an ideal companion for guitarists who like to play with all neighbors and have ...
EDIT: I think after 5 years use this amp, it is still gnial. The other guitarist in my group is crazy effects and uses a VOX Tonelab home course, it underfoot a simulation of all major spend hours tweaking it, I have just three sounds and I am satisfied.

With xprience and budget a little DIFFERENT, I really opt for a TSL100 4 * 12 ", but the rest of the mgalomanie and luxury. I play now on a sound and I use the DI output line OUT, again nothing wrong, except that the sound loses some of its charm but it is the fault the damn sound that is not a guitar amp g ant! Damned!

For retubing, I opt for a Kit "Hi Gain" Eurotube home.
Many say he may want to change the HP, perhaps that has brought more. In the meantime, you can dj do things so well with all original ...
