So this is the clone of the jubilee 25th anniversary of Marshall, re-edited later to Slash's name.
Made in Malaysia by mimine of these cute little guys at Ceriatone.
I have the 2555 version is 50W ...
I did add a master volume to exploit it fully at home.
In the belly: 2 + 3 12AX7 EL34
This is a two channels: one clean and one lead on the clean was an "option-crunch-vintage" but I do not know if we can say that it is a 3 channel ... No we can not ...
It would have been cool this third crunch channel activated at the foot .. finally ...

UTILIZATION

The EQ is very effective.
It is very easy to obtain the desired sound.
My master is an extra happiness.

SOUNDS

Before him I had a Marshall 30th anniversary too "bassy" for my taste and lacked a little sharp even with an equalizer.
Here the sound is superb in every way ...

For me its the ultimate Marshall Lead! (Although I also love the JTM45 and Plexi grandpas), here the gain is unlimited.
With some kind of boosts Keeley TS808, or FuzzHead BBpreamp, the grain is moving towards the beautiful, the magical ...

Clean side, it lacks a bit of shine, Marshall-style what! With a clean boost (I have the katana), all the harmonics and richness of sound is emphasized: problem solved!

For crunch sounds, I have more trouble getting something worthwhile in my ears, I prefer to boost the clean channel with the Fulldrive Mosfet or Keeley TS and there is beautiful ...

OVERALL OPINION

I love it!
It can do everything you expect from a Marshall and more.
He appreciates the pedals which is good practice to improve or change the sound a bit.
Cériatone it's good stuff ... I highly recommend;)
