| Subject: | we have a winner! |
| Quality:
| VERY GOOD. Effects are okay. Not the worst/not the best. Has a loop, and it loves pedals big time. So very easy to over look this digital side trip. |
| Sound:
| Tone is good. BUT, with pedals - TONE IS AMAZING! Throw the Wampler pedal of your choice at it, and it's a whole new scene. I wasn't sure if I would need to use a "Hot Plate" to keep it in line. But no, it's easily controlled at bedroom levels. And it can get very loud when pushed. But it stays sweet and true to the Marshall tone. ALSO,check this out. This amp sounds "absolutely fantastic" through an AVATAR 4x12 cabinet. PLENTY powerful enough for a 120w cabinet. And even though the internal Celestion Marque speaker is good. This amp is way better used as a 40w Marshall head. NO JIVE...And, the black w/silver weave grill that Avatar makes is dead on identical to the Marshall cloth. PERFECT, just like their cabinets..... |
| Reliability:
| Just got it. Treat her right, should be fine... |
| Overall:
| this is a very nice Marshall. Will most likely be a huge hit for them. More of a real world amp than others in it's class. Makes a great ying to the Vox AC15's yang.
Couldn't decide, so I got 'em both...why not? you know? |
| Playability and Feel:
| Light but with quality. Just right. Top controls- but easy to see/use. solid Marshall panel in gold is nice. Plastic switches, but they're okay. Reverb knob has a nice click to it to let you know it's disengaged. Same goes with the Effect Depth knob. |
| Tone:
| Tone is good with or without the boost switches engaged. This is all personal preference anyway. But it really is kind of a sleeper amp in that it's good right out of the box. But boost & drive & distort it a little (or a lot) and it changes into a beast that is every ounce a real Marshall. Very pleasing --->tones<---as in more than one. |
| Finish:
| beautiful amp. simple, sweet. 100% MARSHALL in every detail. |
| Action:
| Comes alive the more you crank it. (what doesn't?) But with pedals, response is flowing and smooth throughout the volume range. A good o/d will leave you chomping on the bit, hard...And spitting out spikes! Really puts it's xxxx up in your face. Wish it came that pumped up to start with. It would be glorious... |

| Subject: | Marshall Haze |
| Quality:
| The knobs seem a little cheaply made but I love the top-mounted controls and the cabinet looks pretty sturdy. |
| Sound:
| The tone is pure Marshjall especially when cranked to full volume. I'm using a Strat and it still sings despite the single-coils.The clean sound is what surprises me.Usually marshall has a thibn clean sound but this amp gives you a clean sound similar to my Roland Cube which is known for it's clean tones. |
| Reliability:
| have only owned a few weeks but it comes with a 3 year factory warranty. |
| Overall:
| Good product . quality seems good and for the price and you still get authentic Marshall sound in an affordable package. |
| Playability and Feel:
| top-mounted controls are great.Easy to see and access. |
| Tone:
| Graet Marshall tone. Not a shredder's delight but solid,tight,authentic Marshall tone.rverb is a bit weak but the clean sound more than makes up for it. |
| Finish:
| Cabinet looks nice and has a nice Marshall logo on the front grill. |
| Action:
| Amp was well packed and looks like it was well put together. |

| Subject: | Went through two of them ... then got a DSL 2000 |
| Quality:
| Well ... that's the point :o)
It -looked- like it was built well.
It -sounded- like it was built well.
But then ... they died :o) |
| Sound:
| I thought the sound was very nice ... everything you could want in a tube amp.
Plus it had "that sound" that makes Marshalls what they are ... |
| Reliability:
| This was the problem.
The first one played for about an hour; at moderate volume.
Then one of it's output tubes went "all Frankenstein" on me.
The second one play for about 15 minutes ... and then crapped-out. |
| Overall:
| I'm usually very lucky with ordering on line or ebay
But ... in this case ... I give up after two bad ones.
AMS was great about the exchanges ... but after the second one ... they were in "back-order" ... so I give up on it ... and moved up to a DSL 2000 |
| Playability and Feel:
| Played like a Marshall, with plenty of growl. |
| Tone:
| It's a Marshall all right! |

| Subject: | Affordable Marshall Tube Combo? |
| Quality:
| Solid. It's a Marshall for sure. |
| Sound:
| The amp is typical Marshall. That's all I gotta say about that! The digital effects aren't the best out there, but I admit that I use them in lieu of a pedal board I had to feed and care for night after night. After a while, you begin to appreciate the simplicity. |
| Reliability:
| I've only had it for a few months, but perfect so far. |
| Overall:
| An all valve Marshall combo at an affordable price? I would've never thunk it. It's right here. Terrific value. Awsome tone. |
| Playability and Feel:
| The controls make sense without having a degree in amp-ology. The included pedal is pretty basic, but works for 99% of situations. It's pretty cool that the channels remember the effects settings. I hear there is an additional pedal available for more control flexibility. |
| Tone:
| Especially good with single coils, but everything I've played through it sounds awsome. The variation in tone is surprisingly flexible. Great for GB. |
| Finish:
| Perfect. |
| Action:
| Not sure how to comment about "action" as it applies to amps. |
