SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I have tried many brands and models of acoustic combo amps and never quite found that one amp to cover all my needs. Then I tried the Marshall AS100D and knew I had found the holy grail. It's the first acoustic amp to reproduce exactly what my acoustic guitar sounds like unamplified. Most amps have a tendency to color the tone of the guitar which may or may not flatter it. The AS100D not only retains my guitars tone but it also gives it a tight punchy sound with out any distortion. With the anti feedback controls I can completely eliminate that issue all together. I have played professionally for nearly 40 years and have played many styles of music my favorite being 70's rock and Southern rock. The AS100D has no problem handling these styles what so ever. I haven't had the chance to try it in an outdoor setting but in doors it performs incredibly. I wasn't sure how the AS100D would handle my Digitech Vocalist Live 4.It did require a little adjusting of volumes on both the amp and effects unit to quail the mics feedback. Once the sweet spot was dialed in the two performed as if made for each other. Feature: I love the Feedback feature it's so nice not to have to worry about that anymore. Ease of Use: Well I'm not a engineering genius but to figure out how to setup the AS100D is a no brainer. At first I thought I was an idiot because I couldn't get the effects to work. Then I discovered that I hadn't clicked the footswitch and once I did that...Walla. Other then that I didn't even open the manual that came with it, it's that easy. Quality: I've owned many brands of amps and all of them were built very well and the Marshall AS100D is no exception to the rule. She is very well constructed even the knobs on the face turn smooth as silk. One thing I noticed is that there is almost no waiting for the amp to warm up, I press the power button and in seconds I am ready to go. One of the things I wasn't expecting is how nice the amp looks the best word I can think of off hand is ( PLUSH ). Value: Compared to other brand amps of this type I would say the AS100D is well worth the selling price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed them so far. The Wow Factor: I wouldn't change a thing about the looks of this Amp, to me she is nothing but gorgeous. I'd say she is way nicer looking aesthetically then just about all the other amps out there of this type. Overall: As long as Marshall produces this kind of quality amp and of this type I can't see me purchasing any other brand. Other brands would have to create an amp that tone wise would leave the Marshall in the dirt. So far I haven't heard one that can.

Sound: The sound is pure and the cleanest of cleans. My Fender Custom Shop Showmaster Standard sounds absolutely awesome, and my Takamine EF400SC 12 string which is what I really bought the amp for sounds angelic, sounds like a beautiful piano on steroids. Feature: Crisp Clear vocals through the built in mic channel. Ease of Use: Lot's of features to learn to use properly but after owniong a AVT150H and a AVT275 was a breeze. Quality: Quality, fit and finish are great. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed them so an 8 to be safe. The Wow Factor: If Looks mean anything It has a very well designed layout, looks very profesional. Overall: I've owned to many amps to count in 30 yrs, Fenders, Crates, Peavey's, Marshall's, After the AS100D I wouldn't go back to any of them.

Sound: I compared this Marshall acoustic amp with a Fender Junior, and a few others. This one sounds more natural than the rest. I couldn't be happier with how it brings out the sound of the acoustic. The effects - especially the hall (reverb) and the delay really add to the sound of the Acoustic. I also play an electric guitar through it for practice. Sounds awesome!!! Feature: I bought it used with no accessories. Most useful features: extra channels for another instrument and for mics; the effects, especially the hall and delay effects, but also has chorus and flanger, and a few others. Ease of Use: Extremely easy to figure out. Quality: I haven't had it that long, but seems very sturdy. It's heavy for its size. Value: It seems kind of like a high price new, but I'd pay the price for one of these new over a Fender or any other comparable acoustic amp. It sounds that good. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: I think it looks way more cool than the Fender. Before I tried this one I wanted a Fender Acoustasonic Pro. But I'm glad I got the Marshall. Overall: I would definitely buy another one if something goes wrong with this one.
