For the price and it being a marshall tube amp you cant beat it. I played this live the other day with my gibson lp studio and it completely blew me away. The overdrive needs some tweaking to find your own sound, I just used a ibanez tube screamer with my dunlop crybaby through the effects loop on the clean channel and it sounded amazing. The boos channel on the footswitch was nice gives more gain and volume on solos. the 2x12" with 100 watts is plenty of power for a un mic'd gig. Buy it

Comes with the footswitch to change between clean, overdrive, and the boost channel. Overdrive isnt the best for hard rock or metal but it doesnt loose any tone or warmth if you use it. The boos channel was awesome even through the effects loop it didnt skip a beat.

Easy to use, just like any other amp you buy find your sound by tweaking and experimenting

Seems like a sherman tank that has speakers built in it. Classic beautifull marshall looks and quality.

Easily the best bang for your buck on the market right now. Its an all tube marshall that speaks for itself.

Checked five because I havent had to deal with any problems or customer support. It comes with a five year warranty if you fill out and send in the registration card.

Again, its a classic marshall it screams rockstar

Comparing this 100 watt tube amp side by side with my 8 year old Valvestate 50 watter with one 12 inch speaker, I can say that this new tube amp has a much better sound, tighter cleaner bass and more presence. The 100 watter on the clean channel has glassy shimmering highs like the old Led Zep stuff. I bought this amp primarily for the 100 watt clean channel as the single volume control insures a continuous tapering of increased volume when turned up without the annoying gain knob that pop up on Bogner and Peavey clean channels. The distortion channels are a bit of work to dial in so I prefer clean channel wit a pedal like the Roger Mayer Spitfire or my old yellow metal DOD fx-50 preamp/overdrive pedal.

The tolex had a tear on my new amp and I needed to place a sticker over it, no big deal, its made in Vietnam. There is also a torn piece of pressed wood that represents the back panel. The workmanship is not perfect. It needs to be improved. The speakers are made in China, they are 75 watt Eminence and are not bad. Think Roland Jazz Chorus with tubes and no chorus and you have this Marshall. The 50 watt version is the same size as my 100 watter so thats why I bought the bigger amp, plus I need the clean headroom, 50 watts isnt enough clean headroom with Marshall. Personally I think the distortion channels are for dorks but thats just my opinion. I use pedals instead.

I think this isnt a bad deal since Marshall charges twice as much for their British made amps.
