What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"Outstanding purchase experience with zZounds. Free shipping, and my complete order arrived in one day! Ability to spread the costs over 4 payments for a low fee is extremely helpful. Highly satisfied customer." - customer on April 30th, 2012
Sound:
it sounds bloody great. the first time i played it in the shop i used a jeff hanneman esp, and i sware with emgs and the gain cranked on this thing, it seriously blows a recto away. its tight, focussed, and just seems to bite back harder the harder you hit it. responsiveness, that is what this amp is all about. i also used a tokai love rock and managed to get a beautiful singing crunch out of the crunch setting on classic gain. a real valve tone, that even an army of distortion pedals cant begin to mimick, let alone represent. great clean as well, not as weak and distorted as past marshalls ive used. it goes from death chunk metallica 80's stuff to hendrixian biting, back to 60's cream rock. great stuff
Feature:
i love the features, especially the dual reverb, because i always use a little more reverb clean than distorted. my only gripe is no separate EQ sections, but this is no big deal as i use an eq pedal if i want a mid boost, or as to do it the other way round, a mid cut. other than that, 4 channels is great, and its so easy to use, just plug in and nearly instantly have the tone you want.
Quality:
i cant rate here as ive had mixed reviews on marshall quality. this one thankfully has lasted 2 years no problems. its heavy as, and is solid. i always run my marshall away from the wall with a fan behind it just in case a tube or two combust!
Value:
you get what you pay for. you want a marshall you know you will have to fork out. think of it as a major investment, not an expense. you wont want to sell it, unless you like muddy rectifiers or overprocessed peaveys with no open valve roar
Manufacturer Support:
never even spoken to marshall, and went back to nz rockshops to say how much i love it and how it was worth a mighty.
good stuff
The Wow Factor:
its a marshall. everyones heard of marshall, even the girls who crowd around it. it has appeal, but i dont wish to make love to it, that would be kinda messy and disturbing. it does look nice, the black on gold never gets old, EVER!
Overall:
love it, its amazing, versatile, ballsy, mine is reliable, and best of all its made in britain, and maybe even jim marshall himself walked past it while it was being made

"take it from a pro"
Sound:
after 36 yrs of playing, 20 yrs on a pro basis, i like this amp better than any i have owned. finally a marshall that is not only control-able at low volume but has a great clean sound good enough to play serious country if you need to. i have never been an effects man but have used pedals in the past. just throw the damn things away.this amp has so much great guitar tone that if you know how to play pedals are not necessary for most music. i suggest that if you buy this amp make certain that you pair it up with a 1960 av vintage cabinet. use a srat on the classic clean channel and get a great poppy country sound. swith to ultra gain 1 and rock!!!this amp works well with my paul as well, but the weaker single coil pick-ups allow the player to crank the amp more which i like.
Feature:
standard foot switch. works well...the reverb is this amps are the weakest feature. fender has a much better reverb, but a much weaker sound..
Quality:
i have owned several marshall amps. all seem to be satisfactory in quality
Value:
all amps are expensive . this one seems to be a good value all things considered
Manufacturer Support:
i have not contacted support
The Wow Factor:
this is a good looking amp, however i bought it strictly for the tone..i would like to note that the 4x12 bottom allows 2 of the speakers to point upwards, thus no need to set the amp up on a stand tabe,chair,etc.
Overall:
no plans to replace it. i trid this amp out and knew that it had the sound i wanted. i would buy this amp again.
Style of Music: rock,country
