Best value: Excellent
All lamp. 100 Watts
Comprehensive connectivity
Mid Boost for Clean
Tone Shift on the Crunch and Lead
Touche "Deep" for three channels
Reverb integrated
VRP (virtual power reduction, great when you want to push the animal without breaking the foundation of the house)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is the simplest, but it is far from being a critic, what choice!
Controls bass, mid, gain, etc ... independent for each channel!
It takes a bit to widen, but what a pleasure when one gets his own sound.
Manual useless, they just waste paper is the ear that hump.

SOUNDS

I play a Stratocaster Vintage (Duncan SSL-3) and an ESP signature kelly hayes (EMG 81)
This means that the stratosphere is not the stew and the ESP is its just the high end
Clean: Great, clean the marshall in all its glory, then obviously it's not clean the lens is not as clear as crystal, it is a clean warm, a bit dirtier, with its character, is to type a lil 'Under The Bridge "Red Hot to realize that it is top. With the mid boost and gain much pushed it starts to cruncher (blues)
Crunch: With a low gain is partly for the blues-rock, soft rock. With the gain is donf Deep Purple and ACDC (I managed to get the sound SMOKE ON THE WATER). The Tone Shift, which removes mediums, will also allow you to play sounds. Deep down will dig your sound (Bass)-I forgot to say but of course it's the same for the clean-
Lead: So then, gain at least 3 / 4, the Tone Shift pressed, not too much midrange, the bass in donf and deep, you'll be able to tease the Heavey Metal, not too strong anyway, Metallica's debut . But it is also a fabulous world of solo available to you (Guns'n'Roses), fiddle with the knobs with the reverb and then roll my chicken. With the microphone you can send serious Santana.

Then finally there by against I raise the roof against those who say that Marshall = no metal. Not true! I have the T-Rex Bloody Mary (as well say no to a discount in pédalette Behring), and connected with the PSE and my foot (well regulated), the Clean, without the mid boost, Bass donf, Deep engaged, without too much medium (1 / 2 max), I reach the peaks of pleasure. Let's go for the killswitch, the pantera, etc ...
As I read in another review, have to stop to play it like I'm "true", I play with the distortion of origin, etc. ... Come on. No metal band does not play with distos home, not even on the Mesa.
Concluded: Amp good for ALL (there only to see groups from all walks of life, using the brand)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months. Settings effective, varied, in short, a range of impressive. Good value.
This choice I would do without hesitation.
