How much did you purchase this item for?
£320 GBP
Where did you purchase this item?
Ebay
Is this item new or used?
Used
Features:
This amp has 2 Channels, a 20db boost, reverb, fx loop, record compensated out, and a simgle speaker
Construction:
This is a solid Marshall amp, built like a tank in a wooden case about 12/13mm thickness with a metal chassis for the components.
good solid design!
Sound:
When i first got this amp it had alot to be desired, the clean channel was great, but on the distorted channels it sounded tinny and raspy... after reading reviews i found the best fix was to change the speaker... so i opted for a celestion vintage 30, and its perfect for distortion: this amp cant hit metal tones, but for classic rock/ free/hendrix/zeppelin sound its perfect.
Ease of Use:
It has knobs with numbers and names, turn the knob above the name u want and ahhh, bisto... u got that sound...
its hard not to get a bad sound with this speaker...
with the stock speaker its hard to get a good sound on the distorted channel!
Reliability:
after getting it, it didnt work for about 15 mins... then suddenly came on... i put it down to having just travelled over 100 miles in the back of a courier van...
when i went to band practise we got it upstaires and it wouldnt power the 3 preamp valves for about 10 mins, i had to give it a whack to et it going... but it started to work... maybe a loose connection... i need to have a look see...
Overall:
overall, this amp sounds great... besides its cutting out, and its crappy speaker... with the changed speaker it really does its job!

How much did you purchase this item for?
$600
Where did you purchase this item?
Ebay
Is this item new or used?
Used, Mint
Features:
Same as above
Construction:
Same as above
Sound:
Clean channel was not what you would except from a marshall.
The stock speaker is poop. But through a cab,
The distortion is hit or miss, you really have to crank it to get tone out of the distortion, maybe 7 or 8 on volume
Ease of Use:
Hit or miss with being able to get the sound "just right"
Reliability:
Mine hasnt caught on fire yet
Overall:
Good amp, shoulda waited and got a DSL50 head for my cab.
Experience Level:
Ameuter, dont do it as a living
