100 Watt All Tube Head:
4 EL34,
4 12AX7 (Sovtek in the mine and Electro-Harmonix).

The connection is very simple, an input, an effects loop, two switches (for channel and reverb), 3 out Hps (4, 8 or 16 Ohm)
knob level, there is a gain, volume and reverb for each channel ...
Together, a 3-band EQ and presence.
The amp has two channels and two real modes per channel that is to say:
- A clean / crunch
- A lead/lead2

I put 7 EQ for common ...

UTILIZATION

Config so easy, as most of the time at Marshall, anyone can find his sound in no time.
Moreover, his level, I find it very good, but I got it with lamps different from original.
I bought second-hand 'is no manual, but anyway if I had I would have certainly not open ... (Ac annoys me that kind of stuff ...)

SOUNDS

So there, we move on to more interesting ... I am the Black / Doom tends Sympho (and yes it all ...) and that makes it badly!
I was looking for an amp without the modern sound is heard everywhere at the moment (not what Mesa) and I found this a trying a Marshall JCM900 with EHX preamp in lamps.
I started looking for a Marshall to do the same mods and here is done.
I use a ESP LTD EC-1000 (in standard) and an Ibanez GRX "Custom by Me" in B.
In Clean, I find the sound quite banal, I put a p'tit chorus over and it goes really well (great for the Cleans ... One Metallica have never sounded so good!)
The crunch is not bad at all for the AC / DC with my EMG81 but hey, it's not too much in this trip. I have a lot of fun times with my Sex Pistols and The Clash on this channel ... missing more than groupies!
The lead (ahhhhhh), the lead1 is not at all to the rock with the appropriate EQ, I quickly made for Slash, I redo a Scorpions concert in repeat ... ROCK SOUND what.
Now what I love most ... LEAD2 the ... ca is not bad tears.
With the lights there is a dose of gain is needed on j'appuis Tone Shift to dig the sound ... Ch'tite a V-EQ in the loop and then I rediscovered my compos ...
The sound is precise, the low nickel pass, one arrives easily find all kinds of sounds:
Slayer, My Dying Bride, Anorexia Nervosa and I even something very similar to Dimmu Borgir ... Frankly not disappointed.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had four days.
I have been a retractor to longtemsp Mashall to the metal (I had a MG100, perhaps for that and I have tried a lot of new in the mags that do not believe me). .. But there's no denying it, with real lights, life-changing ca ...
I grain Marshall with the gain I need, and the Tone Shift (digging mediums) can really do Trash / Black, for it is not against the Death at all a fan of Cannibal Corpse, go your way ...
For the price / quality ratio, and although we can not do better, I got it for 500 euros occas'.

It is clear that I would do this choice, the amp is perfect for my needs is the sound I was looking for ...
