Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Form, fit and finish is excellent--I have never had problems with Marshalls. Dependable? I expect it to last for decades as the vintage ones have. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I just got it--but as above, I believe it will stand up over time. Like most quality amps--these sound better as they age, General Your general opinion of this product. More than saying, "It's a Marshall", the product is high quality, can be used just about anywhere to project its marvelous tone. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? All of the above--the control panel is vintage Marshall and simple to use. This is what I like about these amps--simple controls: plug in and go. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Again a guitar question--I describe the sound as dark and smooth. I highly recommend this amp (and speakers)if one knows how to play well. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Nicely done. The tolex and beading is installed properly, no dings or tears--the logo was on straight--yes very quality built. Action How was the action out of the box? More of a guitar question--but the knobs turn smoothly; everything connects properly and functions when I turn on the output circuit!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Excellent Made in UK quality. In the last 2 years ive seen one of these things (still) being used on stage by everyone from BB King to Jeff Beck to neil young to power pop bands.they were the standard 35 years ago and they are still the standard today. just try to deny it. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Ive never had to Junk a Marshall General Your general opinion of this product. Some complain that Marshalls are old fashioned and out of style. To that i would say, good enduring music is art, and guitar playing is a craft. An artist or a craftsman dosent need stylish clay or canvas, you just need good clay or canvas. This amp is the good clay to create some new art, or work within a strict traditional style. I would take one of these, and all the music that has been recorded and performed on them since 1969 over a "modern" amp packed with goofy features i dont need, or if i do, i will invest in high quality studio editions. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? slightly dark in a warm, grainy way at low volume/gain setting,and develops midrange bite, note definition and the highs and lows become more distinct and separated until full volume. At full volume you get the mid heavy Marhsall roar that defined the sound of heavy rock electric guitar Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? classic High gain British. Whatever you need it to be. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Looks great. Simple and classy. no flaws in manufacture. Action How was the action out of the box? Just fine. plug it in and jam
