i gave features a 4 b/c this amp only has one eq control for both channels. The amp also has a clean or crunch mode on the classic gain channel which is nice but it would be great if it was footswitchable. its not. on the ultra gain channel it has a lead 1 and a lead 2 which is cool but it would be good if it was footswitchable too. this is one of the best sounding amps i've ever heared. it is great for the price. the tone shift is incredible. this amp is very loud!!! the seperate reverb controls for each channel are very usefull. the bass boast is great. it gives your sound a punchey (or crunchey depending on the mid range level) sound w/o giving it too much bass. seperate volume controls for the channel are very good too. this amp is very user friendly it only took me about 2 hours 2 find my sound its great. marshall amps are the best thing ever. i wouled recomend upgrading to groove tube tubes to give it a better sound

except in a few places. The clean channel sounds mediocre, with far too much high end to even bother with, there is no output jack anywhere on the head, and the reverb needs a boost overall. Other than that, this thing puts out some of the best distortion I've heard, and it simply rocks at higher volumes. I love it!

Feature:
i love the features, especially the dual reverb, because i always use a little more reverb clean than distorted. my only gripe is no separate EQ sections, but this is no big deal as i use an eq pedal if i want a mid boost, or as to do it the other way round, a mid cut. other than that, 4 channels is great, and its so easy to use, just plug in and nearly instantly have the tone you want.

Quality:
i cant rate here as ive had mixed reviews on marshall quality. this one thankfully has lasted 2 years no problems. its heavy as, and is solid. i always run my marshall away from the wall with a fan behind it just in case a tube or two combust!

Value:
you get what you pay for. you want a marshall you know you will have to fork out. think of it as a major investment, not an expense. you wont want to sell it, unless you like muddy rectifiers or overprocessed peaveys with no open valve roar

Desirability:
its a marshall. everyones heard of marshall, even the girls who crowd around it. it has appeal, but i dont wish to make love to it, that would be kinda messy and disturbing. it does look nice, the black on gold never gets old, EVER!

Sound:
it sounds bloody great. the first time i played it in the shop i used a jeff hanneman esp, and i sware with emgs and the gain cranked on this thing, it seriously blows a recto away. its tight, focussed, and just seems to bite back harder the harder you hit it. responsiveness, that is what this amp is all about. i also used a tokai love rock and managed to get a beautiful singing crunch out of the crunch setting on classic gain. a real valve tone, that even an army of distortion pedals cant begin to mimick, let alone represent. great clean as well, not as weak and distorted as past marshalls ive used. it goes from death chunk metallica 80's stuff to hendrixian biting, back to 60's cream rock. great stuff

Support:
never even spoken to marshall, and went back to nz rockshops to say how much i love it and how it was worth a mighty. good stuff

Overall:
love it, its amazing, versatile, ballsy, mine is reliable, and best of all its made in britain, and maybe even jim marshall himself walked past it while it was being made

Feature:
What more do you need??? It has an amazing clean channel and it has an amazing distorted channel and it has built in reverb. It also comes with a footswitch. For me, it is perfect.

Quality:
So far, I have had nothing go wrong with and the amp seems reliable. It seems very sturdy and solid and has no "flimsy" or delicate parts to it that I can see.

Value:
It is worth every dollar spent. I would not trade this amp in for anything. Yes, it is expensive, but it is totally worth the money.

Desirability:
It has a very good "I want it" value. The Marshall head just looks menacing, plus, you can brag about it and no one will be able to say anything about your amp. lol. But seriously, the Marshall name and the fact that almost every great guitarest has used and/or owns a Marshall makes this amp "just that much better."

Sound:
This amp is a monster! I played through Mesa Boogies, Peaveies, Soldanos, and Fenders and this amp just sounds better than them. It has an amazing low end but also responds very well to higher pitched notes. The clean channel is also very good. You can use this amp for everything from Earth, Wind, and Fire to Metallica.

Ease of Use:
...a two year old could operate this amp...its very simple, but it still has enough features on it and it can produce many sounds...it is once again, perfect.

Support:
I am not sure...nothing has gone wrong with my amp.

Overall:
Buy this amp or you are a complete jerk. It amp that I have ever used and nothing compares to it. I will never buy another type of amp other than this...BEST AMP EVER CREATED.

This head is better than the TSL. better sound. plug it in two a couple 1960 A-B cabs and dont worry about anything. i have tried all the mesa boogie crap and it just dont compare to a Marshall. i have purchased mesa boogie everything. and keep blowing them up on stage over and over. marshall just dont blow up as easy. its as simple as that. you can listen to all the know it all fancy people you want. but MARSHALL is better and allways will be.

Feature:
standard foot switch. works well...the reverb is this amps are the weakest feature. fender has a much better reverb, but a much weaker sound..

Quality:
i have owned several marshall amps. all seem to be satisfactory in quality

Value:
all amps are expensive . this one seems to be a good value all things considered

Desirability:
this is a good looking amp, however i bought it strictly for the tone..i would like to note that the 4x12 bottom allows 2 of the speakers to point upwards, thus no need to set the amp up on a stand tabe,chair,etc.

Sound:
after 36 yrs of playing, 20 yrs on a pro basis, i like this amp better than any i have owned. finally a marshall that is not only control-able at low volume but has a great clean sound good enough to play serious country if you need to. i have never been an effects man but have used pedals in the past. just throw the damn things away.this amp has so much great guitar tone that if you know how to play pedals are not necessary for most music. i suggest that if you buy this amp make certain that you pair it up with a 1960 av vintage cabinet. use a srat on the classic clean channel and get a great poppy country sound. swith to ultra gain 1 and rock!!!this amp works well with my paul as well, but the weaker single coil pick-ups allow the player to crank the amp more which i like.

Support:
i have not contacted support

Overall:
no plans to replace it. i trid this amp out and knew that it had the sound i wanted. i would buy this amp again.
