"thank god for this amp"

Feature:
this should come with a footswitch but oh well ,any 2 button marshall switch will work fine. chorus and reverb on/off. i can line out to the pa system or line out the pa to this amp for a powered monitor set up or certain set ups position the amp to fill a gap you need filled without killing the folks with volume. great features. XLR direct out or 1/4 " line out available. never use the fx loop.

Quality:
very durable,although its particle board. always works.

Value:
best value ever, pro features for under 400$ US.

Desirability:
looks cool. always gets noticed.

Sound:
very good amp. mine is the AS50R the sound will match up to any room, unlike some other brands that sound great in the store, but doesnt cut it at venues( to processed). this is a pro amp. i compared it side bt side with the fender products, even SWR. yes ive owned the acoustisonic and it sucks for me.the fenders sound cool and have cool reverb but hated the chorus, to swirly for me. the Marshall holds up well and i like it better. the AS50R has been a main part of my sound for 4 years now. i love it! the reverb isnt the best but will do the job. less is more, believe it. the R series is a real 3 spring reverb tank. i like the chorus a lot. plenty loud too. good bass response when on the floor. i sometimes use an amp stand for certain applications. ive heard of many experienced giggers use this, im one of them. at high volumes you may have to adjust the tone a little but over all im very happy.

Ease of Use:
very easy to use and works great and blends well with other equipment i promise.

Support:
ive never needed costumer support with any marshall ive owned ever. unlike fender products that seem to always be in the shop. i dumped all my fender amps because of that. i always had to repair them several times a year.

Overall:
i'll buy over and over, no question if needed

" For the money you are not going to get much better. "

Feature:
Very good reverb and a satisfactory chorus (others will find this good I just personally don’t like the chorus sound on my playing). The anti feedback bit seems to work as well but I haven’t a lot of experience of using this. Have tried it using the two channels mixed together and the sound is still spot on.

Quality:
It’s now living life on the road and is standing up well. Not too heavy but it’s got a feel of quality.

Value:
I auditioned 3 amps of about the same price and this was by far the best. Yes you may be paying a bit more because it’s a Marshall but you get a quality amp.

Desirability:
The brown of Marshall’s acoustic amps are a matter of taste. But hey, who looks at an amp on a dark stage?

Sound:
Having always previously plugged straight into the desk the improvement in sound by lining out from this amp was mind blowing. I play a Martin guitar and this amp helps me get the very best from it. The sound is clean and natural, recreating the lovely deepness I get from my guitar. For a relatively inexpensive amp I find the reverb great adding a warmth and depth to the sound that makes an acoustic instrument sound very natural. The chorus is adequate but I personally prefer the sound straight. It makes my acoustic sound so good I even choose to plug it in when strumming at home.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use. The great sound encourages you to experiment with different settings

Support:
No experience needed yet.

Overall:
I can see me hanging on to this bit of kit for a long time.

About This Product!
Description
Believe it or not, the Marshall design team does not consist solely of metal heads, rockers, and blues lovers. Their critically-acclaimed, award-winning acoustic combos, the AS100D and the AS50D, are further proof of the diversity of expertise within the Marshall design team.

New for 2007, Marshall is proud to present the AS50D. Built upon the award-winning AS50R, this superb amplifier features a new tweeter, a phantom-powered microphone channel, digital chorus and reverb. The new AS50D allows you to express your emotions with passion.

This compact and highly portable combo features two channels, each of which has its own independent volume and tone controls. A variety of inputs give the AS50D the ability to handle all-comers: the high-impedance input on Channel 1 is perfect for piezo or magnetic pickups. Channel 2 boasts RCA phono inputs plus a balanced phantom-powered XLR-type input in addition to its jack input, making it the perfect host for voice, instrument, or even backing track. The AS50D also contains a high-quality digital effects section featuring an adjustable Chorus which can be assigned to either or both channels, also a reverb. It also has a parallel Effects Loop that can be balanced between the two channels.

One of the most difficult aspects of amplifying certain acoustic instruments is feedback. Therefore, anti-feedback controls include a Phase switch and a frequency-controllable Notch Filter. Another useful AS50D feature is an internal Limiter which allows you to drive the maximum level from the 50-watt power stage, yet remain distortion free. Neat and affordable, flexible and portable, the AS50D is ideal for the acoustic musician who wants an amp which is perfectly suited to intimate gigs.
