I do not play outside of the home and have been playing for about 15 years, off and on. I enjoy classic and modern metal and like the sounds of Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Avenged Sevenfold, and Children of Bodom, to give examples. This amplifier will nail all of those sounds and more. I have always tried to get the right sound through a master volume of lower wattage amps, using pedals. But I always have found that there was something missing and when headphones were used, the sound was a bit more studio/recording sounding. And that is fine except that I really like to feel the heavy compression of a 4x12. Problem is, 50 watts through a 4x12 is way too loud. Turning down the master volume still sounds good but nowhere near the true sound of all tubes firing hot. After years of wasting a lot of money and time to buy so many amps and gear, I finally decided to make the jump and give it a try. For 2800.00 I purchased this amp with the 1960A cab and a Rivera Rock-Crusher attenuator. I set the eq, dime out the channel volumes, and run the master at about 8.5 - through the attenuator - and adjusting the volume of the Rivera between the -20 setting (plenty loud if in front of speakers) or studio (loud enough to all nuances to be heard but still not bothering anyone). My results have been beyond expectations. I can play everything I like without any pedals. The EQ with Presence and Resonance, allows me to dial in the tone of all of my favorites. This amp has made playing so much fun. Highly recommend!

Great example of why some things should not be outsourced. Quality marshall build. Quality marshall sound. This is the first new tube amp I have bought in last 8 years I haven't wanted to change the tubes as soon as I cranked it up. Best cleans I have heard on a marshall but also the most gain I have cranked out of one too. Also this is the first marshall amp in the history of the company to not have diode used for distortion. This is pure tube saturation ladies and gentlemen. The master volume is exactly that. I plan on selling a large majority of my gear after buying this baby.

This amp is dollar for dollar the best amp I've owned. On a gig I can use four or five (of the six) channel/modes and they all sound good. Takes some time to get the master and channel balances right for live performance, but well worth the effort. The pedal is very user friendly and remembers the last setting for a mode/channel. Sounds like a Marshall.

I bought this amp after hearing it at a local music store. They sold it before I could buy it-and I'm glad they did because Zzounds has been awesome to work with and purchase equipment from. I have had this amp for over 4 months now. Marshall speaks for itself with 50 years of building guitar amps. What makes this amp so great is it's versatility. I'm playing in a band that plays a wide range of musical styles from blues, r&b, classic and modern country, and 70's-modern rock. WIth 6 varieties on the 2 channels, this amp covers everything. With it being all tube, it has a very warm and full rich tone. The response to different guitars and pickups is great. For the price and the tone, this is one of the best amps out there for an all valve amp. Paired with the Marshall 1960A, the full sound is awesome. One last point, the amp has a two master volume controls that can be switched back and forth with the supplied foot switch. This means that I can go to a solo and set my solo volume without having to change my preamp settings, so I don't have to "color" my preamp settings with other boost effects to get my solo volume.

First off I’ve been playing for damn near 30 years and never owned anything from Marshall other than a solid-state many moons ago , I do however own a mark v ,Dual rec, kemper power head , line 6 helix and a evh 5150 all great in their own ways for sure especially the Mesa stuff , but after playing through this I was like “wtf took me so long to pull the trigger on a Marshall ” ? absolutely amazing sound so much gain more than I’ll ever need and there’s plenty right on tap ,no need for distortion or o.d pedals much like the Boogies , and I’m not sure why some people say in their reviews that it’s complicated because it’s not at all ,after you spend a little time with her she’s a breeze to navigate and you’ll be dialing in pretty much any tone you fancy, I for one am a huge Slash fan along with other various artists from all over the spectrum and I have had no problems nailing their various sounds with ease on this mother , super bad a$$ amp highly recommend for anyone who is on the fence and has a couple G’s to burn you cannot go wrong.. happy picking peoples

I probably would replace with a DSL as I don't need as much versatility but I'm not regretting my buy.

take this 50 watt piece of junk and cram it...........50 watts is no power on stage and all it's good for is to practice with a cheap speaker
