Lamps with 60W amp 2hp 12 "
it weighs a dead donkey! 30kg, but at least he not tremble when you walk up the sound.
A single entry (I do not mind I have never used the low entry of other amps ...)
spring reverb
3 channels, clear, crunch and lead (EQ + reverb crunch and lead joint)
Direct output with amp simulation, useful for recording.
an effects loop.
2 adjustable output for HP 8 or 16ohm. Ie we can add a 2 * 12 cab or replace it with a 4 * 12
as said before bias adjustment easy = saving maintenance!
3 reverb footswitch channel + + fx

9 because of the wrists to the side would have been fine given the weight.

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple.

its clear
bass, mid, treble.
gain in volume and still get a little crunch to high volume
crunch and lead:
medium bass treble in common. Everyone has a gain and volume for the preamp
a shift button that gives a more dry and heavier.

For the three channels, a button that digs deep mediums.

I put 8 on the Equalization crunch and lead joint.

SOUNDS

I play it with a Gibson Flying V Ibanez RG prestige or a microphone with super distortion and I must say it sounds fabulous.
great for blues, clean sound is warm, round and soft. Marshall grain is there.
I am using virtually no crunch, I use the lead channel with a slight saturation, resulting in a crunch with a gain a little tighter and has better sustain. Saturation lacks some precision when the rises above 5 / 6.
To get the sound I want, I use a small pedal magic, the boss sd1 (super overdrive), in addition to the marshall distortion (gain between 2 and 4), I get an excellent saturation and sustain further improved .
With that, I am a heavy metal that I was looking (for comparison, close to Zakk Wylde in ozzy)
Plus we play hard we take over his foot, and remember that it's Marshall, use the mediums to get Marshall sound.
This amp is really great, but if you do go your way nu metal.

OVERALL OPINION

it'll be a year that I really love the grain and inimitable comes out! Whether in light or in full, that's exactly what I was looking for in an amp, a nice clean sound and heavy and hard to grip.
Before buying it I tried other amps like mesa boogie lamp, fender, vox, peavey, all I preferred the tsl602 because it was more versatile than the bottom, I think it's marshall sound I was looking for. This now I have!
I think eventually I would offer him a small 2 * 12 (which will be 4 * 12) or directly in a 4 * 12 Celestion V30 and an analog delay.
A very good choice, I would not have done if I had listened to all those who spit on other than the marshall JCM800 2203 (not hard guys) and if I had not tried any kind of amp! I would do the same choice again.
