Back to Product Information
Sound: This about sums up the sound; it's a Marshall. I've heard sounds from Roland, Sunn, Fender, Peavey, Line 6, but Marshall has the best sounding amps out there, as they always have been. Don't let the fact there's only 30 watts of power in this thing fool you; paired with my Epiphone Les Paul, this has some of the best clean AND heavy tones I have ever played. Feature: This amp has six built-in effects; overdrive/distortion, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, and delay. I personally prefer regular effects pedals, but the onboard effects is a nice touch. The headphone jack is awesome, and I use it when I don't want to annoy anybody. But my favorite thing about this amp is the Marshall-ness of this thing. The fact it's a Marshall is the primary reason I bought it. Ease of Use: Using this amp is incredibly easy. All of the controls are marked easy to read, and adding 1+1 is harder than using this amp. Quality: This is quite possibly the sturdiest thing I own. And not just musical equipment wise; this thing is sturdier than the walls around my house. Value: This amp is perfectly priced, and could go for probably $150 more than it's marked for. Manufacturer Support: To quote another review I read, the best support is the kind you don't need. I have never needed it, and I don't think I will have to. The Wow Factor: I am going to be honest; I have the earlier model of this amp, the model with a gold front instead of silver and no carbon fiber. But with how much I love the older model, this newer model is more than likely off the charts. Overall: All I can say is this; Marshall has done it again. They have catered to the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Slash, Billy Gibbons, Dave Navarro, Angus Young, and now, me.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
