Feature:
My amp came with a 2 channel footswitch, amp cover, and 2 extra tubes. No complaints really about the features, with the exception that I wish I could squeeze some different gain tones out of it. One thing I would add, beacause of the enormous sound is a headphone jack for practicing. This amp is LOUD and shakes the walls at 2 on the master. Also, I would add casters to the amp, as it is close to 60 pounds.
Quality:
This amp is built better than my house. The wood is heavy, and the closed back is nice too. I would play this amp in any venue that would have me. It is more than enough volume, especially considering that even the smallest venues now mic the amps anyway. It should belong to my great grandchild one day, and I just turned 17!
Value:
Well, I got mine at a hugely discounted price that I just couldn't refuse, but if there's one thing I'd say about the process of buying an amp, its wait,wait,wait!!! Force yourself to think about the sound you really want and what you need for it. Don't just look at the money aspect of it, or sell out to the popular "must have Marshall" attitude. Buy the sound...not the amp. Enough of that preaching, I got a great deal and like the tone a lot!
Desirability:
I really like this amp, especially when its cranked up. What I really wanted was a vintage 1959 SLP plexi Marshall head and 1960TV 4x12 cab, but this too is a great amp.
Sound:
Like every musical instrument, there are pros and cons to this amp. Pros include the clean channel, the hot, throaty, bluesy overdrive tone, and the volume capabilities. The cons would include the inability to provide a classic, fuzzy distorted sound a la Hendrix, SRV, etc...but this can be solved by running a fuzz box through the clean channel. The reverb is great on this amp too. I leave it set at about 7 permanently. This amp is a beautiful, vintage looking piece of equipment, and has a good sound to match.
Support:
Don't know. Haven't dealt with them, but I'm sure they're good people.
Overall:
It's a really good all around amp
