Manufacturer's Description for Marshall AVT50HX Guitar Amplifier Head (50 Watts)

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.

The AVT50HX is the head version of the AVT50X combo and is armed with the exact same killer features and tones. When driving the purpose-built AVT412XA (angled), and AVT412XB (straight) Celestion-loaded 4 x 12 in. cabinets, it delivers the extra depth and sheer tonal weight which only a Marshall stack or half stack is capable of!

If you believe that 50 watts of solid-state power isn't sufficient to gig with, then think again, because the AVT50X is definitely the exception to that rule! Its two footswitchable channels deliver glistening, ECC83-driven clean tones and a roaring crunch that just oozes vintage authenticity. Contemporary, high-gain sounds that pack an unbelievable focus and punch are also possible, thanks to the extremes of gain available, coupled with the closed-back cabinet and custom 12 in. Celestion speaker. Other features include a CD input, a headphone jack for 'silent' practice, a speaker emulated DI output, an Accutronics spring reverb, a series FX loop, and a sturdy LED footswitch (supplied). zZounds is an authorized dealer of Marshall products.

"Average at best."

Sound: Better than a lot of cheap solid state amps, but lacks the warmth of real tubes. The single tube is only in the drive channel, so the clean channel sounds just like the MG series. Feature: Decent enough. Two footswitchable channels gives the minimum flexability required to work with the amp. The efects loop is solid and provides a good routing option. Also, It is nice to have a headphone feature on a 50w head. Ease of Use: It's an amp. You turn it on, and turn it up. Quality: Typical marshall build. Particle board head and cab with standard black tolex. I've never had to worry about getting to a gig and it not working. Verry solid, just seems a bit cheaply made. Value: I wish I had bought a tube combo. I was a little preocupied with, "I need a half stack." Manufacturer Support: N.A. The Wow Factor: It's a marshall, It looks cool. Overall: It's an OK amp that will have to get me by until I can afford something better. It works OK live, but I never use it in the studio.

Style of Music: Mostly "indie" style rock with a good mix of blues and jazz

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "If you play heavy music, you will not be disappointed."

Sound: Absolutely excellent amp. Several times, after gigs, guitarists who use Mesa gear have told me that they were surprised a Marshall could sound so heavy. Out of the box, it sounds pretty good for any type of heavy music. Once I teamed up the head with my Marshall pre-amp and a gate, it was exactly what I was looking for. Feature: Standard features - The AVT50 does not have all the bells and whistles that the 150 has. But, if you are more concerned about tone than effects, this shouldn't be a problem. Ease of Use: Very easy to get a good metal tone from this head. The clean channel is pretty much a standard solid-state sound. However, the tube distortion enhances the tone and warmth of the gain channel. Quality: So far, so good. I have heard horror stories about the Marshall MG series stuff. But, this amp has done well and comes with the standard Marshall warranty. I have used various Marshall equipment over the last 10 years and found it to be reliable (especially considering I drag my gear all over the place to gigs, leave it in an unheated practice space, etc.). Value: Unbeatable price-value relationship. To be honest, I can not bring myself to spend $1500 on a head. While I have heard bands sound absoultely awesome with Mesa and other higher end gear, I have also heard tons of guitarists sound like absolute s*** using amps that cost three times what mine did. Manufacturer Support: The only time I had a problem with any Marshall equipment, it was 5 years after the warranty expired and I had no issues finding a music store that repairs marshall equipment. The Wow Factor: It looks fine and works fine. Good enough for me. Overall: I expect to keep playing this head until I kill it. There is really nothing more I could ask for from this amp. It sounds good (and sounds good loud). It is dependable, has great tone and was a great value for what it is. There really aren't any other amps out there that "wow" me enough to want to switch from what I have.

Style of Music: Metal
