Performance
Sound is great! Tough as an iron. Functions are idiot proofed. Just jack in, turn up the volume and it’s yours to play.
Performance Rating: 9
Sound Quality
The ODs don’t sound good. You need to blast them to get a decent sound. The clean is good. Too high gain for the clean causes it to distort. They should add “mid” for Clean to be adjusted. I had to get an equalizer to stabilize the sound. Apart from that, it’s all good to go.

Construction
It’s heavy. As usual, its the fact. It doesn’t come with a back rest to tilt the amp while playing. The rest are good and the design is fabulous and eye catching. If they had a 2x12" AVT 50, with “mid” Clean adjustments. Its almost perfect. Good job Marshall.

Well built, does what is says on the tin. EXCEPT! The rather beautiful clean channel has been acting up over the last two days, distorting, rising in volume. And this after only 10 weeks, and no gigs OR abuse. But again, other than that, fantastic.

Wonderful. The clean is the best Marshall I’ve heard, and the distortion is great. It’s clean, crisp and clear. Great. The reason I bought it.

Other that the problem described above, nothing has gone wrong. I love the sound (not just for the price; I was testing out amps 5x the price of this) It’s easy to move, to bring to gigs, and it’s loud. Love it to bits.
