Marshall all the Way!

This is an amp that will be appreciated by a novice to a touring professional musician. It is a Marshall Amp with "the" Marshall sound. It also has great cleans. The price is rediculously low for an amp of this caliber.

Great amp until....,

I bought this amp a few months ago and was very pleased with it until 2 weeks ago it just stopped working. Tried for a week to get in touch with Marshall to get service support but just ended up sitting on hold for extended periods of time. Finally found a local service center to take it for repair and discovered 2 or 3 of the tubes had gone out and there is only a 90 day warrant on the tubes. After 9 months of normal use I would not expect to have to replace tubes already.

    It's a Marshall all right. Bought one in 1984...and lost it to a pawn shop in 89. Always wanted another one. This is everything I'd hoped for. Nothing like a Marshall tuber.... 😎🎸

  • Amazing amp!

    It's all true...one week in and you can't get a bad tone outta his amp. I'm surprised how much I'm liking the lower gain channel for the bluesy stuff and of course the high gain is awesome as you would expect from Marshall. Buy this amp now!

    This is a very good sounding combo amp. It has a solid bass tone to it, and the new gain features cover what many would do as a "mod" to the Marshall sound in most "Plexi" amps. Not totally broken in as far as the speaker is concerned so jury is still out on the matching of the Seventy 80 driver. The reverb is also a bit anemic IMHO but again still learning the amps personality for only a week. overall, if you want the classic Marshall tones with some modern features and tonal additions without buying a Plexi and heading out to your favorite amplifier tech for mods look no further. I plan to do some experimentation with Creamback G12m and Vintage 30 swaps to see if the tones I want to lose are due to the Seventy 80 speaker. BUT, as a grab and go powerful ig ready all in one Marshall tone box......this is a gem indeed!

  • This Amp ROCKS!

    Did a lot of research before I bought this amp. A lot of people switch out the Celestion 70/80 speaker but I'm going to give it a chance to break in as it sounds pretty darn good right now! I'm guessing Marshall knows a little bit more about speaker performance that I do.

    I really love the clean channel has a very useful crunch boost and and the distortion channel has two gain selections. I no longer use a distortion pedal. There is an attenuator that allows you to select 1/2 power or full power great for studio, practice and performance. This ads to the amp's versatility. Because I am more a blues player and Fender Amp aficionado, I use both a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe mixed with the Marshall via and AB box. I am more inclined to use the Marshall tone by its self now as a dominant choice. Probably because the great tone is new to my arsenal... The tone of this amp rivals more the classic "Jimi" tone and sounds better to me than the modern Marshall tube stacks. I recommend everyone try one out before you purchase your next amp. Or if you are looking to add a classic Marshall tone to your arsenal. Best Wishes to all of you, to Guitar Center and Marshall for making my music world even more special.
