This thing sounds awesome. The two overdrive channels can sound smooth or raunchy it's up to you. I like blues and metal and this amp covers more than enough ground for both musical styles. you really won't need pedals with this amp because this is what most pedals TRY to sound like. The DFX are very nice for being amp FX. Their not the greatest but they suffice.

The only thing this was missing was an acoustic simulator channel which is on the AVT275 so I guess I shouldn't really complain. the separate EQ's for clean and overdrive channel was nice but it would have been better if they had a separate EQ for each o/d channel. I just set the EQ where I want it and scoop one of the channels. I play a friend's Peavey classic 50 and even being a hybrid this outguns the Peavey. I think using a tube for just the preamp was genius.

i haven't really abused this amp yet but it looks pretty solid. This is my first marshall but from what hear, all Marshalls are pretty rugged. I actually got this 'B' stock but I checked it over and you couldn't tell.

This was a 'B' stock but it was practically new. Even if I'd bought it for the regular price I would have been happy.

Grunge, Blues, Metal

The sound is great you can produce a wide range of sounds with the three channels and various effects, perfect for any kind of rocker, no rappers allowed.

It comes with a sturdy footswitch great for switching in an out of your channels making it totally playable for gigs.

Marshalls are always well made this isnt your standar lego block

Its the best product you can get for 700 bucks

Havent had to use support but i imagine its great

It looks great, not that that really matters, but it sounds better.

I play primarily bass but also love playing guitar. played 30 + years. professionally and semi professionally

Original electric roots, true roots and experimental rock

Lifeless, but a moot point since the amp died anyhow after 1 year

Good features, still a moot point because the amp died after 1 year

It could not withstand one year of local shows, I recommend that noone buy a crappy PCB new Marshall if its going to leave the bedroom

$700 for 1 year? Jeez, I can't afford to buy a new $700 amp each year...

no dealings, but I bet they wouldn't replace or fix it if I asked....

Well it says Marshall....

Local DFW musician

Varied, mostly blues and rock

Ive benn playin for a while on a les paul studio but never really found a great amp then i went to canada for a snowboarding trip and found this amp at a shop (forgot the name) it was agood price so i tried it out i love the amount of effects and the pedal is huge w/ od1 od2 clean and dfx on/off the only down side id that it has a lot of feedback on when your gain is up alot.
