THIS MARSHALL HAS A CRUNCH MOD & EFFECTS LOOP DONE BY CUSTOM AUDIO ELECTRONICS. THE PEOLPLE WHO DO MAKE AMPS AND MODS FOR GUYS LIKE BILLY JOE OF GREEN DAY AND EDDIE VAN HALEN. THE EQ IS SIMPLE LIKE THE PLEXI BUT ONLY ONE CHANNEL CAN BE USED. THE OTHER VOLUME IS USED FOR THE PREAMP GAIN. THE AMP LOOKS BONE STOCK BUT WHEN YOU CRANK IT UP, IT SOUNDS HUGE W/ A THICKER TONE. THE EQ IS RE-VAMPED & AN EXTRA TUBE IS USED FOR THE EFECTS LOOP. WHEN YOU BACK OFF THE VOLUME, YOU CAN GET A NICE CLEAN TONE. I GIVE IT AN 8 FOR SOUND BUT IT LACKS VERSATILITY.

SET THE TONE CONTROLS FLAT(ALL AT 3PM) AND YOU GET A EVH MID 80'S TONE. IF YOU SUCK THE MIDS AND CRANK THE GAIN, YOU GET EVH MID-90'S. EDDIE VAN HALEN HAD A COUPLE OF HIS MARSHALLS MODDED W/ THE CRIUNH MOD FOR THE BALANCE TOUR AND THEY SOUNDED AWESOME. YOU HAVE TO PLAY W/ THE EQ TO GET A VARIETY OF SOUNDS.

EXCELLENT SOUNDS AND MADE A LITTLE VERSATILE W/ THE EFFECTS LOOP WHICH CAN ALSO BE USED AS A LINE OUT.(SEND ONLY) VERY COOL MODDED AMP THAT KEEPS IT COSMETICS BUT SOUND WAY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MODDED AMP AS WELL AS A STOCK MARSHALL ITSELF.
