Sound: Having always previously plugged straight into the desk the improvement in sound by lining out from this amp was mind blowing. I play a Martin guitar and this amp helps me get the very best from it. The sound is clean and natural, recreating the lovely deepness I get from my guitar. For a relatively inexpensive amp I find the reverb great adding a warmth and depth to the sound that makes an acoustic instrument sound very natural. The chorus is adequate but I personally prefer the sound straight. It makes my acoustic sound so good I even choose to plug it in when strumming at home. Feature: Very good reverb and a satisfactory chorus (others will find this good I just personally don’t like the chorus sound on my playing). The anti feedback bit seems to work as well but I haven’t a lot of experience of using this. Have tried it using the two channels mixed together and the sound is still spot on. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. The great sound encourages you to experiment with different settings Quality: It’s now living life on the road and is standing up well. Not too heavy but it’s got a feel of quality. Value: I auditioned 3 amps of about the same price and this was by far the best. Yes you may be paying a bit more because it’s a Marshall but you get a quality amp. Manufacturer Support: No experience needed yet. The Wow Factor: The brown of Marshall’s acoustic amps are a matter of taste. But hey, who looks at an amp on a dark stage? Overall: I can see me hanging on to this bit of kit for a long time.

Sound: very good amp. mine is the AS50R the sound will match up to any room, unlike some other brands that sound great in the store, but doesnt cut it at venues( to processed). this is a pro amp. i compared it side bt side with the fender products, even SWR. yes ive owned the acoustisonic and it sucks for me.the fenders sound cool and have cool reverb but hated the chorus, to swirly for me. the Marshall holds up well and i like it better. the AS50R has been a main part of my sound for 4 years now. i love it! the reverb isnt the best but will do the job. less is more, believe it. the R series is a real 3 spring reverb tank. i like the chorus a lot. plenty loud too. good bass response when on the floor. i sometimes use an amp stand for certain applications. ive heard of many experienced giggers use this, im one of them. at high volumes you may have to adjust the tone a little but over all im very happy. Feature: this should come with a footswitch but oh well ,any 2 button marshall switch will work fine. chorus and reverb on/off. i can line out to the pa system or line out the pa to this amp for a powered monitor set up or certain set ups position the amp to fill a gap you need filled without killing the folks with volume. great features. XLR direct out or 1/4 " line out available. never use the fx loop. Ease of Use: very easy to use and works great and blends well with other equipment i promise. Quality: very durable,although its particle board. always works. Value: best value ever, pro features for under 400$ US. Manufacturer Support: ive never needed costumer support with any marshall ive owned ever. unlike fender products that seem to always be in the shop. i dumped all my fender amps because of that. i always had to repair them several times a year. The Wow Factor: looks cool. always gets noticed. Overall: i'll buy over and over, no question if needed

Sound: I tried several acoustic amps head to head at my local music store. It didn't take long to realize that for the money, nothing beat the clean, warm sound for this Marshall amp. I play several different guitars through it, as well as a mic and the sound is clear, clean and fits the actual sound of each of my guitars. Feature: I use the reverb and chorus sparingly if at all but for the guitar channel it is sufficient. I use the line out for recording and it produces a clean accurate sound. For gigs I use the direct out to my PA which along with the amp produces a full, nice and powerful sound. No headphone jack? While the anti-feedback features helped a little, it still doesn't do the job of a dedicated anti-feedback rack. Ease of Use: It didn't take long to get a great sound from this amp. Very easy to dial it in. Quality: Its a Marshall! Looks great. Appears well made. I have used it for two months and have had no problems with it at all. Value: As I said earlier, I tried out several of the name brand acoustic amps head to head at my local music store and for the money, nothing came close to this amp as far as sound and features. Manufacturer Support: There is no selection indicating that I haven't had to use customer support, which I haven't so I have no opinnion. The Wow Factor: Hey, its a Marshall! It looks great and I didn't hesitate to purchase it. Overall: I think I will be using this amp for a long, long time. The only reason I would have to purchase another would be the need for more power and then I would purchase the Marshall 100 watt amp. Everyone who has heard and used this amp in my studio and at gigs loves it.

Sound: Nice smooth tone. I have been able to plug in my old Ibanez RoadStar electric guitar for playing some hard rock and also able to play my new Ibanez electric / acoustic guitar for a great clear tones. What surprised me is being able to use the aux. plug in to hook up a mic or my keyboards for some pretty good sound as well. This Amp has some nice features and can be used for any type of music you want to play. Feature: Having both a guitar and aux. jack that do play completely separate from one another is nice when most amps just don;t quite make them completely separate, and anyone who has plugged in a guitar and a mic to an amp and it just doesn't cut it where this amp does a much better job of it. The chorus, reverb, and anti feedback controls were a nice surprise as well.. I would say for the price this is a great amp for practice or the small stage. Ease of Use: Very playable for all instruments. I have plugged in 3 different guitars, a mic and a keyboard and had very nice results with all of them. Quality: Its a Marshall.. enough said!!! Value: Can not beat the price and this is a quality Amp to use just about any where. Manufacturer Support: have not had to call and do not expect to have to call any time soon. The Wow Factor: the name, the look and the features make this a very appealing Amp for anyone. Overall: I would buy this amp again if someone was foolish enough to type and steal it from me

Sound: I find this to be a very responsive amp which keeps its tone and clarity no matter the venue or volume. All of my acoustic guitars have their own distinctive sounds through my AS-50. Feature: No. Ease of Use: Although the reverb is a bit shallow, the clarity at higher volumes is what sets this amp apart from others I've played. Quality: I am a stickler for detail, and I scrutinized this amp from top to bottom. I am extremely pleased with the tight corner fittings and the taught grill cloth layout. Knobs are heavy and feel set by a precision crafstman. I highly recommend this amp. Value: Yes - worth every penny. Manufacturer Support: Have not had to deal with this company yet. The Wow Factor: It always starts a conversation just sitting there! Overall: I have nothing but praise for the Marshall AS-50.

Sound: This is actually my 1st amp & acoustic amp. I don't have much experience w/ any other amp other than a crate amp. It is an acoustic amp & does its job well. It can instantly change your acoustic guitar's tone to a professional like sound. I play it w/ my Ovation Ultra 2071 & can't be any more happier with this buy. :) Feature: I've seen some better features but for the price you are paying for ,not many amps have these features in it. Ease of Use: very simple to use a couple of knobs Quality: Mines just sitting in one place & i doubt it'll fall apart even if i sat on it. lol. Value: A great value. Lightweight 40 something lbs & has amazing acoustic amp tones reverb etc. Manufacturer Support: haven't had to dealt w/ anything yet. The Wow Factor: I have no opinions because i have never tested out any of its competitors. Overall: I actually found a better bargain on a higher priced amp but am probably just gonna end up keeping this nice amp. :)

Value: good price. My first good amp so I cant really compare. The Wow Factor: very sexy!
