Very wide range of sounds on crunch and lead channels, clean channel is a muted by comparison. Has enough power to rise above the rest of the band.

The footswitch is the achilles heel of this amp, I've had mine repaired numerous times and even had a replacement from Marshall. It seems that the wiring isn't up to the job.

If you can't get several usable sounds from this amp then you must be deaf!

See comments about footswitch, if that were sorted the amp would get a 10

I bought this from a guy who had previously had a Mesa Boogie but preferred the Marshall. It's the best amp I've ever had for gigging - but it would be better if it could be powered down to 50 watts instead of 25.

I live in the UK so when I took the amp to the Marshall factory they not only replaced the footswitch but carried out a service, replaced valves and other modifications all for free! Beat that!!

It does the job for me and is reliable.

Gigging guitarist

Blues, rock covers

love that vintage Clapton sound this will bring tears to the eyes. This will get you that distinctive "violin" sound that blues guitaists crave. Also the clean channel allows you to play surf music at a click of the footwsitch

I wish I could switch to 50 watts

There are a lot of knbs and switches, but once youv'e played with it for a couple of hours your all set

The quality is outstanding

This amp must be worth $1700 by todays prices I paid 1500

I have not worked with Marshall
