"Sweet Marshall Sounds."

Feature:
This product came with a footswitch that I have yet to use as I am still dialing in my sound. The most useful features are the acoustic simulator and the digital fx. The gated reverb (although not as good as spring reverb) and the chorus are excellent. The acoustic simulation isn't going to magically change music to sound like a taylor or martin acoustic, but it produces a pretty accurate facsimile. The contour or scoop buttons on each channel definitely change tones and are a nice feature if this is something a person will use regularly.

Quality:
This is a very solid unit and I would buy again. I haven't had any problems with this amp and don't foresee any in the future. I gave this amp a 9 because I would recommend upgrading to a higher end cab as opposed to the AVT cab.

Value:
I don't know if the amp is worth the sticker price for not being a true tube amp as one could purchase an Orange combo or Tiny Terror for the same price and get a better and louder sound. However, for the quality that Marshall produces, it is worth the purchase price for those looking for something reliable and that will last you a lifetime.

Desirability:
For me, I rate the appeal of this amp a 10 because it's all I could afford when shooting for a quality half stack. Granted it's not a JCM or Vintage Modern, but this thing screams Marshall and has that look at me quality.

Sound:
The sound that comes from this head unit is very satisfying and bold. I upgraded from a Randall RG75D G3 75watt combo and this things blows it away. The amp is loud and produces tight crisp tone. The fx are superior to anything i've used; however, the amps lack a little when it comes to low end sound, which is the one thing that my Randall had over this amp. For a mid-range half stack, this is definitely worth the money.

Ease of Use:
I have been able to achieve some great harmonics with this amp. The interface is pretty self explanatory and simple to use for someone with a little experience. It took me a couple hours to get the sound I was looking for, but I constantly change my sound so I am continually tinkering around with the controls to get what I am looking for.

Support:
Marshall receives a ten because I have never had to use their support.

Overall:
I am sold. I have been using Marshall for quite some time and have switched to using other amps and always found myself coming back home to Marshall. I will have this amp for quite a while and I may eventually retire it and upgrade to a higher end (full tube) Marshall, but until then, I am content with what I have.

Description

News
Marshall's AVTX line of amplifiers is the culmination of a decade's worth of evolution and innovation since the birth of the original Valvestate. All models now feature a new contemporary look and all AVT50X, AVT100X, and AVT150X models include automatic variable speed fans, ensuring their place as the market leader.

Both the AVT150X and AVT150HX boast more channels and features than any Valvestate amplifier before. Their four channels are: Acoustic Simulator, Clean, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2.

Acoustic Simulator: As its name suggests, the Acoustic Simulator channel transforms the sound of a standard electric guitar into that of an acoustic guitar with amazing authenticity.

Referring to a Guitarist magazine review: "The Acoustic Simulator is a brilliant idea -- a first for a non-digital amp -- and the tonal effect is extremely convincing with single coil pickups, allowing a guitarist to switch instantly from electric to acoustic sounds without changing guitars or amps."

For even further flexibility, the AVT150X and AVT150HX house a pair of adjustable DFX sections -- one for the Acoustic/Clean channels and the other for Overdrive1/Overdrive 2. Both DFX sections are on/off foot-switchable via the supplied 6-way LED foot controller.

Clean: From the cleanest clean to a natural, valve-induced, bluesy crunch and anywhere in-between. A Bright switch enhances high-end definition at low Gain settings.

Overdrive 1: Takes you from the dynamic raunch of a 1959 'Plexi' to the larger-than-life crunch of a cranked JCM800. A Scoop switch reconfigures the EQ to give you that classic thrash sound of the '80s.

Overdrive 2: From the primal angst of a hot-rodded JCM800 to extreme gain. Hit the Scoop switch to produce the brutal, bone-crushing slam of modern ('nu') metal.

The 16 DFX are adjusted by the following controls: DFX Mix, DFX Adjust, and DFX Select. A Parallel FX Loop, complete with Mix control, is also included for added flexibility. The supplied 4-way LED foot controller allows you to switch the DFX on/off. Other features include a Headphone jack and a Speaker Emulated Line Out.
