"It can shake my house of blues loose."

Feature:
Simple and pure like the older rigs. I like the functions just like they are on this one as I use a variety of peddles and effects to get the variety of sounds I am able to coax from this settup. The footswitch problem I have heard about would be a bummer but mine has been fine since purchased in 2003. But since so many have mentioned it I'll give it a nine. Many have mentioned they don't like the headphone jack or CD input. I like it fine as I use both features for tuning and some setups without any hassles. If you don't think the cd option is cool you don't have this stack. Outdoor stadium arena sounds in my back yard. The kidies come from miles to listen.

Quality:
Very durable and built rock solid. If you don't beat this equipment it should look great for a long time. Again, this is right up there with the best equipment for real players. This is not the top of the line but a real performance line for real players. If you have the magic it can come out of this boxes dude.

Value:
Check out this value stack. You can't even find a decent lawn mower for this kind of caching. But this can sound like a buzz saw!

Desirability:
It can shake my house of blues loose.

Sound:
I am able to get ringing pure highs to gnarly blues tones from this outstanding Marshall stack. I have been playing for thirty years and own many rigs and find this is a really well priced Marshall value package. Don't think this means best of all for every sound as my Roland Jazz Chorus has a more pure clean for jazz and single coil sounds but for most all rock from Zepplin to Cream to Trower you can find it here. Currently playing it stock. Screams right nice. Santana Moonflower big time vibe from the Valve pre-amp for very few dollars/peso's. EXCELLENT!! I use a variety of 15 guitars from 3 Ibanez Les Paul Lawsuits setup with Super 70's, Dimarzio's and Seymour Duncan's, to Gretsch Historic setup with single coil DeArmond's, a Standard Stratocaster and a variety of Nipon's finest offerings from the 80's. Get the Marshall Tone Monster Sound !

Support:
Again the best I have encountered in 30 plus years. Alot of my equipment's makers have been long gone for a long while. (Gretsch BroadKaster, Silvertone Twin, Acoustic Amps... etc., etc., etc.

Overall:
I will most likely keep it till it molds in my garage like some other equipment. But on a hot summer day in the year 2025 I plan to shake my money maker with this bad boy outdoors for Carnaval baby!

Description
Docs
The AVT50H is the head version of the AVT50 combo and is armed with the exact same features. Powering the purpose-built AVT412A (angled) and/or AVT412B (straight) 4x12 in., 200-watt, Celestion loaded cabinets, the AVT50H will deliver crisp clean sounds and roaring crunch in abundance. Switching to Overdrive takes you from those classic rock tones right through to the most contemporary slamming sounds. You will feel all the extra depth and sheer tonal weight of which only a head with a 4x12 is capable! For even greater power and projection, the AVT50H will also drive the "industry standard" 1960 4x12 in. cabinets.

The AVT412A is an angled-front, 4x12 in., 200-watt, Celestion loaded cabinet. Its muscular construction and maximum bang-for-your-buck prices make it ideal for use with Marshall's AVT heads (AVT50H and AVT150H), as well as many other amps! Combine it with the AVT412B to create the "Marshall Stack."

The AVT412B is a straight-front, 4x12 in., 200-watt, Celestion loaded cabinet. Its muscular construction and maximum bang-for-your-buck prices make it ideal for use with Marshall's AVT heads (AVT50H and AVT150H), as well as many other amps! Combine it with the AVT412A to create the "Marshall Stack."

What is AVT
In Marshall's quest to give players the ultimate tone at a realistic price, they have combined the latest innovations in valve, solid state, and digital technologies to achieve optimum sonic performance. AVT has evolved from their original, critically acclaimed Marshall Valvestate technology, but is vastly improved so it emulates the tone, feel, and response of their world-renowned, all-valve amplifiers with unerring accuracyáwithout using valves in the power stage.

Marshall's long history and experience in the field of valve amplification was utilized in the development of the new AVT power amp. This extremely responsive and warm sounding circuitry was then coupled with the specially voiced, ECC83 (a.k.a 12AX7) valve-driven pre-amp section, to provide 100% valve/analog warmth from input to output. Combined with numerous user-friendly features, they believe we've created the best value-for-money range of Marshall amplifiers ever!

Valve Drive Pre-Amp
From the compact AVT20, right up to the thunderous roar of the feature packed, 4-channel AVT150H, each model in their brand new AVT line boasts a pre-amp stage that is driven by an ECC83 Dual Triode valve. Unlike certain other hybrid amps out there, this valve isn't merely acting as a pilot light. Instead it is playing the central role in the gain, distortion, and tone-generating circuitry. They have gone to great lengths to ensure that this precious device delivers maximum sonic benefit at all settings and volume levels. The resulting clean sounds ring with the bell-like harmonics that only a valve pre-amp can deliver and the break-up is never harsh or unnatural sounding. Whenever you select an AVT Overdrive channel, the ECC83 is saturated to its limit, providing dynamics and feel worthy of a place in the Marshall hall of fame.

Power Amp Delivery
The same, unrivalled design expertise that went into the pre-amp was also channeled into the design of the AVT power stage. Using frequency dependent power amp damping and their proprietary, dynamic clip level technology (which emulates the HT supply of a valve power amp), each AVT power stage creates the warm, musical feel and 3-dimensional sounds that made Marshall's all-valve power amps world-renowned. Also, all AVT products will deliver the goods in the often hostile and unpredictable environment of the live performance stage - which is why the AVT power amps of 50 watts and up are fan cooled for optimum reliability.

DFX Onboard
The AVT100, AVT150, AVT150H, and AVT275 all have onboard DFX (Digital Effects). Here the greatest care was taken to ensure that the highest level of signal integrity was maintained at all times. They achieved this by successfully integrating DFX into the tonal topology of AVT without adding any of the nasty-sounding, artificial "grain" often associated with DFX. To make the 16 custom-voiced DFX as controllable and user-friendly as possible the relevant models are all supplied with an LED equipped foot controller which allows you to switch the amp's DFX on and off, as well as change channels.

The flexibility of the AVT150, AVT150H, and AVT275 is further enhanced by having 2 DFX sections, 1 for the Clean and Acoustic Simulator channels, and the other for the 2 Overdrive channels.

Extended Response Loudspeakers
Knowing the importance of the relationship between power amplifiers and loudspeakers, Marshall have worked extremely closely with Celestion to develop a range of speakers that will re-define the cutting edge in rock guitar reproduction. These speakers allow the compact, closed back cabinets used in the Valvestate 2000 AVT range to maintain the bottom end delivery normally associated only with a full 4x12 extension cabinet set-up.
