UTILIZATION

Ultra simple setup! You plug: it sounds! No need for manual (there is none).
Very easy to sound good is obtained.

You will cover a wide range without difficulty his very "British" classics with this single amplifier "Marshallian" ... From J.Hendrix to ... Angus Young!

Note: The volume button (Level) is very flexible and progressive, not aggressive like we can meet on some amps, which is highly appreciated :-)

SOUNDS

It should be carefree in a good part of my musical genres; Southern Rock, Blues, Hard Rock ...
Country styles on the Rockab 'Rock'n'Roll & Classic 50's, I use my Fender tweed amp ... Question Twin'57 usual, but this Classic Plex could I suppose, cover most of these without flinching ... Question of tone color; U.S. for Tweed, British for CP. To see ...

The clean mode with the master (gain) between 0 and noon is absolutely crystalline, beautiful. All guitars retain their personality all their own ... With the latter, you can color your own sound using effects pedals that are accepted. Plus mode "drive" also accept without problem.
With a higher gain you can manage all the volume of the guitar ... Awesome!

The Plex & Brown modes are beautiful, exactly what I wanted.
The amp has a good amount of gain, rich, vibrant and dynamic, even at low volume!
For my part, no need to use the "quiet" mode to play with me, because as noted above the volume is very flexible and progressive ... Playing both the latter and on the gain, we get easily assayed and get a good crunch very respectable volume.

In short, the PERFECT amp for playing at home in all modes, as well as room!

All my guitars go there; Gibson Les Paul, ES-335, SG Maestro, Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster.
With a slight preference for the LP with P90 :-)

It is plugged into a 2x12 cab "Marshall 2061CX retooled of Celestion G12M Creamback which gives warm and dynamic sound with a good supply of roundness.
I love all the sounds ... From crystal clean to a little "dirty" the slight crunch, creamy saturated fat.

OVERALL OPINION

Used recently, I'm already addicted :-)

So far my Marshall JTM45 was very good at his job ... live (live worse it is not every day huh), but almost impossible to play at home volume "respectable" without a good attenuator that expensive stained still quite sound without much progress control ... It was quickly becoming too strong.
Rab and then go through the box & tech bias settings at the lower lamp replacement.

3 modes decade with the pleasure of spending a sound JTM, JMP JCM, Flight Control / Gain, self-bias and of course its sound qualities are the big advantages of this amp finishes copies.

The price / quality ratio is not given at first, but we soon realize that the quality, work very well and the components used to mount this amp have a price that ultimately really worth the investment.

As my grandfather used to say "We're not rich enough to buy cheap" QED :-)
Prefer quality product that will last the product "cheap" which will very quickly.

This amp is a bomb quality! Bravo FX ^ ^
