60-watt All Tube (4 and 2 12AX7 Svetlana EL 34)
1 output for external speaker, line out with an HP emulation, a parallel loop, a footswitch jack
3 channel clear, OD1, OD2 with EQ, gain, volume, volume and reverb loop separated.
Shift 1 switch (hollow mediums), a Deep switch (boosts bass).
BIAS ADJUSTMENT ACCESSIBLE panel arrière.Il Just remove the small rectangular plastic cover, connect a multimeter to terminals 1 and 2 and turn Knob located near (80mV recommended)
Footswitch for 3 channels, reverb and loop.
For me, nothing is missing.
The build quality is very bonne.L the rear of the amplifier is particularly well protégé.Pas any extraneous vibration, even at very high volume.

UTILIZATION

The EQ is quite effective. (No sound happens if the knobs are at zero).
In addition, the Shift and Deep switches can switch between a vintage sound to a modern sound.
It has access to a range of sounds fairly complete, depending on the guitar and the selected setting.
Marshall always typed anyway.
Minimalist manual.

SOUNDS

With good lights (he deserves it!), Well settled, is the surprise:
The clean sound is very successful, according to flapping smooth adjustments and the guitar.
This is not the sound Fender but anything goes, from the casserole dirty funky blues.
With the saturation found the Marshall sound.
the OD1 is perfect for rhythm and riffs to the TDCA.
the OD2 product saturations very melodious and powerful, without going through metal.
Contrary to an opinion read below, the loop works perfectly, and allows easy assay mixture with its dry and its effect.
In addition the amplifier supports very well the distortion pedals.
Completed a 2X12 cabinet with Celestion V30 in, that is happiness.

OVERALL OPINION

Soon 8 years and reweighed scene without the slightest glitch.
Purists, addicts "It was better before" and still probably miss the good old (excellent) JCM 800 ..
Still, the guitar "all terrain", his love of Marshall, will easily find their happiness with this combo reliable, well built, well equipped, versatile, powerful but not too much, and what one says is well within the spirit and sound of the brand.

Incidentally take a look at:

It is in English but you learn lots of things and the notes speak for themselves ..
See also the review on his little brother TSL601 on this site. (I do not see why it would sound less well than 2X12 1X12!)
