What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds
"zZounds is the only place I buy my gear and has been for the past eleven years. Friendly, reliable, and safe, they're always a pleasure to do business with." - customer on January 17th, 2012
Sound:
The sound is amazing. Especially for a solid-state amplifier. I plugged a Gibson Les Paul Studio into the half-stack and boy was it crunchy. The sound is very solid, very warm, and has a big bite and punch to it. It sounds even better when you turn it even louder, especially with the FDD(Frequency Dependent Damping) switch on. It has very smooth sounding clean gains, to hard rock gains. The half stack wasn't clippy at all.
Feature:
The half-stack has alot of features. It's got two channels, clean and overdrive. The clean channel has a crunch/clean switch, and also a gain control knob. The overdrive channel has a switch that changes between Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2. Overdrive 1, is the nice and soft, classic Marshall gain. Overdrive 2 is the more crunchy, raw, face licking gain. It also has a seperate section with all the fun effects. It has one knob selector for Chorus/Delay, Delay, Chorus, and Flanger, and a seperate knob to control the volume of the selected delay. It also has a seperate control knob for the Digital Reverb. The overdrive channel comes with many knobs to help find the true tone, treble, bass, middle, contour, and volume. There is also a master volume, so you can control the amp volume. As with all Marshall MG solid-state amps, they come with the FDD switch. It seems to put more of a warm smooth tone into the amp when you push it in, so it's good. Although the digital reverb is good, the cool effects aren't that great, they're just there for experimenting, and messing around.
Ease of Use:
This half-stack was amazingly easy to use, all I had to do was plug the guitar in, turn the amp on, turn up the master and drive volume, adjust the drive stuff, and you can start rocking. The amp is very playable.
Quality:
The amp seems like a pretty darn good half-stack. Especially for a solid-state, it actually did sound like a tube amp. Jamming right beside a Marshall JCM2000 half-stack, it is competable to the JCM2000. There wasn't really any blemishes on the half-stack that was noticable.
Value:
For the value, it's one of the best sounding solid-state half-stacks out there. You can almost achieve the beautiful rich tube-amp tone with this baby, and its a grand less!
Manufacturer Support:
I heard that Marshall goes over the line to back up their customers, so I guess I'll give them a 9.
The Wow Factor:
The half-stack is VERY attractive, even the price tag is attractive. The classic white Marshall logo, just the half-stack itself makes you look great.
Overall:
This half-stack is great. If I was richer, I WOULD get the tube-amp Marshall amps, but this is one darn good Solid State Half Stack.
