10 out of 10
Feature:
Good - does what it says on the tin. 2 channels, clean/crunch & lead. Each channel has 2 modes and it would be nice to change those from the footswitch. Its pretty versatile with seperate reverb for each channel and an effects loop - but its no JVM.
Quality:
Very well made - mines an early one, after 12 months of sitting on a shelf it turned on & sounded great with just a small warmup. Construction is very solid.
Value:
Mine was just over half the retail price - used they are better value. New - still pretty good compared to boogies, Diezel etc...
Desirability:
Just look at the logo.
Sound:
If you want that classic marshall tone with a bit more versatility than a 2203 or plexi this is your amp. Clean tones are the best I've heard from a marshall (probably with the exception of the new JVM). The crunch and lead tones really rock! As a caveat YOU MUST BIAS the amp before making up your mind. Mine had been sitting in a shop for 12 months without being played. Sounded ok in the shop, but once it was biased and re-tubed (only cost £20 for new JJ's) it was amazing! Sounds best when cranked! :D Its also really responsive to your playing, how hard you attack the strings etc...
Ease of Use:
Don't know how you could get much easier. Set the pres=2, treble=2-3, mid=4, bass=4-5 and pick your gain level & volume.
Support:
Emailed marshall a few times, although not with this amp. They respond quickly and are very helpfull.
Overall:
Don't think I'll ever sell this amp - I'll just get more marshalls :)

6 out of 10
Feature:
The foot pedal and the two channels i guess gave it a bit of versitality
Quality:
The build quality was defently that of a higher end marshall you can tell by the weight and how the knobs look all securley on.
Value:
To be honest buying this new would be silly because for that price i think you could get something better used.
Desirability:
Probably would be appealing to many because of the bands that use them and the name of it. and the facts its tube.
Sound:
Sounded a bit to..."normal" to me didint really blow me away in anyway If you messed about with the settings for a while maybe you could get a decent sound
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use not lots of complicated knobs and buttons anyone can just dial in what they want and you get a decent tone out of it
Support:
I havent bought it or anything i tried it in a music store so i dont know
Overall:
Overall 6 Just didint give me much of a kick compared to mesa boogies and other amps ive tried. i acctually even preffered a peavey valveking to be honest.
