Marshall AVT50X Guitar Combo Amplifier (50 Watts, 1x12 in.)
No longer available at zZounds
Two channels. CD input.
Overview
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.
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).

I still love & have my Crate G 20 Anniversary Spec Ed after 20 years, with no desire to sell.. I should be satisfied with this one from here on out, but i would like an all-tube amp. I just prefer the reliability of solid state.
Sound
It has a great clean channel; nice and clippy, good country popping. The dirt channel has a great, fat,classic Marshall sound that works well with my Cry Baby Wah. My Ibanez Super Chorus is wicked bad on clean.The amp has a big sound, even at low volume. I play both a Les Paul & Strat, and they cook at all volumes. Forget a more expensive tube amp: this is a bad boy for home and small venue performing.
Ease of Use
I wasn't given a manual, although I asked.
Quality
No worries.
Value
Hay-ell yay-uss.
