100 W + Reverb, which is welcome because it lacks a bit on the 30th anniversary Marshall that I was ready. I put 8 because there is "only" 3 Channels and no delay (unlike JMD100) but hey, it's already much better than the 2 Channel amp, I quibble.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple. Finally a product or each button that I touch brings a change "heard" instantly.
I downloaded the pdf manual for the history of 4, 8 and 16 ohms and the use of effects loop, but it's simple and suddenly, the manual is not really useful.
This gives a good sound and the clean channel is not as bad as what has been said in Marshall.
More reverb helps.
It is not for the bagpipes of course, but that, I think you understood ;-)

SOUNDS

For the pop / rock is perfect.
To repeat, I hold down "limitation POWEEEER" to use 25W which is already sufficient. Note however that the volume does not clean the crunch / lead.
I just find it's "low volume" (it's on), it is more difficult to diff2rencier a real crunch of a lead. For cons, the knobs that you push, the, of course, mind-blowing ca! The power generated is monumental!
Coupled with a Fender Stratocaster STD U.S., and a Gibson Melody Maker reissue 77.
With the Fender, but it is less clear pechu with the Gibson is more slobbering and less defined, however.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about three months.
I tried a Peavey 50W clearly more blues, and a Roland JazzChorus a Marshall 30th anniversary.
The peavey is well suited to small rehearsal room and need not be pushed too hard to have a warm and round.
The Jazczhorus not suitable for Rock .. Simply.
And The Marshall 30th anniversary is almost on the same wavelength even if he has no reverb.
I put 10 because I came across a great opportunity (NEW state amp + speaker 1960A) and it purrs quietly but surely waiting to be released this summer ...
