VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: A very good vintage sound. I would describe it as a "pre-Van Halen Brown sound/high gain-saturated heavy metal JCM 800", if that makes sense. It is very much a "plexi" sound, and even has a plexi control panel. It is a cleaner sound than the Clapton/Bluesbreaker Beano album sound, unless turned up. Then it gets a nice crunch, tube distortion. Feature: This amp makes no misconceptions that it is anything less than 100% simplicity. 2 channels; a volume and a tone knob on each are all that you have to shape your tone. It has a tremolo on the 2nd channel with speed and intensity. I wish it had a master volume to let me get some more gain at reaonable levels, but Oh, well. Ease of Use: Like I said: 2 channels and two knobs. Turn up the tone knob for more treble and turn up the volume for more gain and distortion. Quality: Handwired Marshall. Need I say more? Value: It is very edxpensive. But compared to other handwired, low production boutique amps it is a great deal. Manufacturer Support: Not needed...yet, at least. The Wow Factor: Vintage Marshall. The sound that gave birth to the hard-edged, classic rock and blues that we all love. And the tones we love. Overall: Probably around 6 months...but that's just me.
