Feature:
Comes with a footswitch and two cords. The dual channel switching/master volume and dual channel reverb are something I always wanted with the old plexis. One set of tone controls is alot of peoples main gripe but it suits me just fine....

Quality:
It looks, feels and sounds just like the Marshalls I have had through the years. The 412MCA cab has the Platform/rocket 50s and I really expected to hear more of a difference in the sound I do, but is it a 900.00 difference? Um....no. I had planned on maybe swapping out the cab for a 1960a but I will wait and see how the rockets hold up. Only time will tell.

Value:
This is pretty much a silly question, a half stack 100 watt Marshall made in England for less than 1300.00??? Um....YES! I know a couple of players who bought two. I laughed. Now I am kinda thinking about doing the same thing.

Desirability:
Looks as good as it sounds on stage.

Sound:
Its got the crunch you can only get from a valve Marshall. If you play rock/classic rock or want to sound like the record. This is tha amp for you.

Ease of Use:
I had a pedal board I used for years and pretty much dumped it all except for the tuner. The two channels lets me get a pretty decent clean channel ( Classic Gain) with a little growl and then switch it over (ultra gain) for a lead solo. Toss the compressor out the window, you don't need it anymore.

Support:
5 year warranty so If I never need to have it serviced I think they should still be in business.

Overall:
So far I expected just what I have gotten from this amp. If you have ever want a Marshall 100 watt don't pass this one up!!!

Feature:
It's got this button labeled "deep". It makes your sound go lower, but doesn't really make it bassier. I think it makes the sound a lot better, but I can't really completely describe it, you have to try it out to see. The reverb is perfect. It has two seperate reverb knobs for both channels. I never use reverb but I tried it and it was the best quality sounding reverb I have heard without a pedal. Another button is the "tone shift", I didn't think it did much with the sound, but I really didn't spend much time messing with it. There is one EQ for both channels, I wish there was 2, but it's Okay. The EQ is presence, treble, middle, and base. There is a gain knob for both channels. Lead 1 and 2 switch for the ultra gain channel, and clean or crunch awitch for the classic gain channel. So you can get a lot of sounds out of this amp.

Quality:
The qualit is very good, and I'm strict on that. The knobs are solid, and the whole amp is built well. The only minor picky thing I thought might be a problem in the future was the Channel, Lead 1 & 2, tone shift, and deep buttons were kind of cheap. But I'm picky.

Value:
I think this amp is very affordable for such an outstanding amp, and for A marshall tube amp, very cheap. It could be more exspensive and I would still buy it.

Desirability:
Come on It's A MARSHALL. Super cool looking. Everyone want's a Gibson Les Paul in there hands, and A tube Marshall Halfstack behind them.

Sound:
I played the dsl at my local music stor. Using A Stock Gibson Les Paul Custom. The clean is great, very clear, great lows, very nice. The distortion is pretty good, AC/DC sounds perfect on this amp, but you can really get any heavier than that. When you turn up the distortion it gets kind of muddy, but turning up the treble doesn't make that a problem. If you want really heavy metal, I recommend using a pedal.

Ease of Use:
I guess it was good. The 1 EQ for both channels was kind of annoying but, really didn't bother me. There is alot of buttons to screw around with, but once you get used to it, it's fine.

Support:
None

Overall:
I was hard on reviewing this amp. I tried to state the flaws more than the perks of this amp. It sounds great, Looks great, and is great. I spent an hour testing this amp. I checked the cosmetics, tubes, and sound. It's a great amp, and would recomend it to any one. I'm saving up for it right now.

Feature:
Wish it had seperate eqs but I use my gmajor to help out with that. Its just a good straight forward amp

Quality:
Seems pretty solid and its made in England and has a 5yr warranty.

Value:
I was able to buy just the head and feel like a thief for what I paid for it lol

Desirability:
Looks like a Marshall cool old school vibe

Sound:
This amp sounds amazing! The clean is clear and defined, The classic channel is pretty darn close to a JCM800 and the Ultra Channel is high gain metal heaven!! I play extreme metal and it handles it quite well. This is my first Marshall and Im impressed!! I use a gmajor thru the effects loop and the amp works well with it and the amp relay so Im set!! I also use a engl xxl pro cab w/v30's and wow is all I can say

Ease of Use:
Very easy to dial in

Support:
Ive never dealt with em but heard they take care of you if you need them

Overall:
If it breaks I'll fix it or get another. Great amp
