Considering the price, it is actually a bargain with boutique tone.

I certainly think so - it's the best Marshall for a looooooooong time.

Imagine how good it sounds a) recorded properly and b) with a great player!

It "feels" good too, even though the insides suggest it might not...



Ah - pic by Tony Mckenzie - that's who I bought my Randall Lynch-box from (although it proved a bit too loud /large for my uses)

Here's a very quick and dirty clip of the amp in my living room at loud TV volume on the AFD setting.  I've got to say, it records great even on my basic Sony digital camera!

 congrats,lovely sounding amp and very tempting with the power scaling. my worry would be long term the glitches
may start appearing and no doubt difficult to put right looking at the inner complexity.
it will be interesting to see how it's viewed in 3 or 4 years time being a new model.

I played one of the demo units a while ago, and it sounded good, but didn't blow me away completely-- obviously being in a big exhibition hall meant that I couldn't crank it, but the power scaling seemed to sound just like the master volume at low levels. The guy supervising the amp also didn't know anything about it, including what the AFD switch was (told me it was the power scaling)... so it may have not been a final model. It sure did sound like AFD though, which was great :)

Sounds good Dave :) Haven't had amp gas for a long time but this is intriguing.

Twinfan, I liked that sound in the clip, but what really caught my attention was that guitar you were playing!  8)  Nice one! May I ask what make that is?

Now you need a setup like me with the switcher, so you can run a clean sound as well as full on overdrive.

Who needs a clean sound????  :lol:

Rolling back the volume "old skool" is good enough for me...
