UTILIZATION

The manual is not particularly clear that Marshall but this amp is designed especially for playing guitar with the guitar as the contol at the time and like most tube amps but here biensur Marshall insists that the should be obtainable with this Vintage Modern a clear, crunchy and full, with nothing but the volume of the guitar because its dynamic is incredible .. SI SI!

Simple yeah if you want ... Or so I thought.
But I would say no I rediscovered two or three times this amp ...

SOUNDS

I would say it was appropriate that I play, Blues, Jazz, Fusion, Rock and Hard Rock ... On Start and Tele ...
but I have a Laney GH5OL for a more modern and a more pronounced grain much more mellow and medium sound so British, but thicker than Marshall.

In its clear he is doing well and yes it may sound in Marshall clean as it incorporates the old Marshall plexi characterstics style JTM45 1987X (more sweet) etc ...

It was the usual setting of BASS MED Trebble PRESENCE will be highly or closely linked to volume control preamp DETAIL & BODY giving the character of the amp ...
Wholesale RETAIL saturates and high treble and midrange and lower midrange BODY Bass ... is of course schematic!

Remember plex entries "High Trebble" and "Normal" that you could mix or play on one or the other ...
Well here it is the same except that egg you save the master volume because here they only serve to saturate the preamp ...
It biensur schematically for the less knowledgeable and Deplus remains a plexi plexi!

The Dynamic Range is a second floor Gainet should not be considered a second channel recess can of course depending on the settings if desired and boost overdrive pedal or distortion and more!
But woe to those who play very saturate position "High" and who would return to "Low" for a clean if the settings are pushed Details and Body recess you cruncher in Low volulmes therefore use the scraper, selector Micros or OD pedals etc ...

With two settings (body details) you can go crunch in a clean and low in saturated Crunch was high.
It sounds very old Marshall Vintage way so it sounds great for clean and crunch to LOW is to hell can we then push BODY LED ZEP is BACK!
Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert and Slash, Jeff Beck and many others have adopted it so ...?

HIGH position can go Bluesy sounds good, old Rock or AC / DC, GUNS N 'ROSES MR BIG ... and all the 80's etc. ...
And with the Knob MID BOOST is Thickened sound is to play a little more modern, or for other sonnorités plain or saturated because the sound is less sharp (for some critics of the Marshall aigrellé or screaming) and inevitably less V in the medium and this just reinforces the GAIN too.

The reverb is doing its job but it is a bit too much Room to my taste and a tad short what, so we like it or not and for me it means ...

OVERALL OPINION

2 years that I have and it's a rugged amp that I trust what is important ...
Access to the sounds of the 60's 70's which is a luxury and of course the 80's has today ... of Modern or Vintage.
One has the impression of crossing time and rock history because it is close to almost all the sounds Marshall ...

Let's face after a plexi or a JCM other's personality and will make an amp but only for those who love the sounds of old Marshall JCM800 style plexiglass and no concerns have much in there for my great happiness is just d hell!
Good value for money, yes, but a bit expensive when it came out ... but now it rolls!

Amp seemed simple at first but that should be played long before the well is tame and an amp that can rediscover ...

I would do but that choice may be I would take the 50W version because I prefer the heads 50!
