Marshall JCM-2000 DSL 50

2006 model I picked up used,you know the features or check out marshall site for them.

I bought this after owning many amps, and many marshalls...sold my jvm410 to pick this up.This has the authentic marshall growl,thats why I bought it and thats what I was looking for.I retubed it with Rubys el34bstr and svetlana 12ax7's.Way better than the stock tubes more low end,and a tighter response.The clean is great,the clean with the drive has plexi written allover it,hit it with a wah and it just shines.I like the distortion channels my setting is Lead one,tone shift out,deep in,Bass 9/mid 4 /treb 8 /pres 8/gain 7.

I rate this on what I wanted and got it.Jvm didnt cut it.

everything breaks sooner or later

Real marshall tone...Marshall attitude and growl all the way.

> Made in 1997, In England. I've had it since it was new.
> All tube amp
> Mine has the nicer Drake transformers. From what I understand, the newer ones have cheaper trannys (but this can be fixed with good aftermarket transformers by Mercury Magnetics or Heyboer)
> Footswitchable Reverb and Channels
> The 2 channels and modes give me all the flexibility I need.
> I've used this amp for 99% of my shows since I've had it. Plenty loud


A 3rd footwsitch jack for selecting the green channel's mode and "deep" mode and this would be perfect. Do I really need it? Nah...
Also missing is a real choke instead of just a resistor. At 25.00 retail, I don't understand why Marshall doesn't put these in. This is a mod that I'll be doing real soon.

Lately, I've been playing this amp with a '74 Gibson LP Custom, a Fender Strat Ultra with the SCN single coils and a jem or two. I use the amp through an Marshall 4x12 with G12T-75s (made in England) or Celestion Centurys.

The one thing I'll say about Marshalls - Make sure they are biased properly. This is crucial. I'm still on the original Svetlana EL-34 tubes (Biased at 70%) which still sound strong. The preamp tubes were replaced with JJs because I'm not a big fan of the stock chinese 12AX7s Marshall uses. Also, the master volume has to be set around the 4 mark for it to really start to sound like a Marshall. Below that value, the feel of the amp goes away. This is loud though. For practicing, I don't mind playing with the master at "1" but if you're going to evaluate the amp, don't do it with the master set to somethig like "2" or "3". A THD hotplate on -4/-8 db attenuation is a nice add-on for this amp so that you can crank it and keep the volume down.

I play 80's metal, classic rock, hard rock, rock/blues. This means Metallica, Maiden, Ozzy, Clapton, Van Halen, Top 40 rock (for the working cover band), Deep Purple, AC/DC, Hendrix, Balck Sabbath... you get the idea.

For all of the styles above, this is the only amp that can cover it all and do a great job at it. Does it sound like a JCM 800 or a plexi? Well.. no, not really, but it has that grind and crunch that gives it the trademark Marshall sound. I love my '82 jcm 800 but its a 1 trick
pony and it hard to play different styles with it. This is where the DSL absolutely shines.

Clean Sounds - Love it. This is the Green channel in mode 1. I set it up just so it on the edge of clipping. Nice jangly clean with a bit of dirt on top. That's the way I like it. You have to know how to tweak the amp's settings for it to sound good. This mode is perfect for stuff like Chili Pepper's Under The Bridge. Just very clear and full.

Crunch Sounds - Green channel in mode 2. You can get nice crunchy sounds at low levels. This is the big AC/DC style crunch sound with the gain dimed and the master past the 4 mark. I can do a lot of the Hendrix style stuff on this channel too (like say, Purple Haze). With a TS-9 in front, the classic rock lead sounds are pretty much where I want them. I'll also use this mode with an SD-1 for stuff like Randy Rhoads or Van Halen. This mode sounds big. With a TS-9, I get an awesome Cream era Clapton sound. My Smoke on the water sound is pretty convincing too (from what fellow guitarists have told me)

Distortion - Lead, Mode 1. This is what I use for playing stuff like Maiden or a lot of the heavier stuff that plays on the radio these days. I'll use this with an overdrive in front for extra kick for solos and real heavy parts like say Enter Sandman (mid scoop switch engaged) or No More Tears (no mid scoop).

Lead mode 2 - I never use it. I just find it too much and it lacks clarity and note definition.

I often get complimented on my sound by the sound engineers at shows. in the 10+ years I've had this amp, I have never grown tired of its sounds. It just suits me really well. I still play my '82 JCM 800 when I can though. The DSL is a different beast and I really appreciate it for what it is.

Other amps have come and gone (Peavey 5150, '64 Fender Bassman, '01 JCM 2000 DSL 100w, '98 JCM 2000 TSL 100w, Marshall JMP-1, Line 6 rack POD, Fender hot rod Deluxe, vintage Marshall 1959, Peavey Classic 50 and others I'm forgetting right now) but this one, along with the JCM 800 are the ones that I've kept after all these years.

I'm a picky guy in terms of tone and I don't give perfect scores easily but this amp deserves it. I don't understand why some people knock these DSLs. I had one guy with a DSL 100w that kept on complaining how bad his DSL was. I had to agree - it was weak sounding, dull and lifeless. I checked the bias, it was way cold. 10ma too cold. set it to the proper value and voila! tone galore. LIke I said at the top of

I've gigged this amp for 11 years. Its still going strong and I have not had a single issue with it... not even a fuse. I take care of it though. I don't bang it around, always set the impedance switch properly etc.
Built to last. The insides do look a little complex compared to the older Marshalls though.

Never really had to deal with the company for the DSL. They're pretty responsive via email when I did have questions.

If it were stolen or lost - I'd try to find a replacement ASAP, hopefully one that has the Drake transformers.

The amp is two channel, with 4 modes. Would be nice to have independent EQ but the two channels are shaped well enough with one.

As a side note. this amp was given to me by Jim Marshall himself. i won it during a competition as i had always wanted this amp but was a poor uni student with no $$$.

The dsl is not necessarily the amp for you if you are a one pickup player who has no idea how to use his hands to control an amp. something like a JVM is better because you have 4 channels opposed to 2.

This amp is a great middle ground for people who like an amp which can change channels but WILL respond well to changing guitar parameters such as volume etc. Additionally this guitar responds incredibly well to your hands. Hit the strings hard and it will respond, hit strings softer and it respond; similar to vintage marshalls.

Not to mention this amp will play chords well during gain settings with all strings being audible. eg ACDC.

Not that i am trying to pick on people, but I have had this amp for many years and people who say it has a bad clean sound obviously have not spent enough time with it. On a les paul of strat i can get a great clean sound.

Quick lesson: Clean channel with crunch button in. Put your volume to 8-10 (gain at 0) and use the gain as the volume: it has a preamp with a tonne of clean headroom which WONT break up (even with humbuckers) and a real fender amp dynamic snap (without being brittle).

I play mine through an american strat and a VOS 59 les paul RI and it works really well with both. This is an amp which will let a guitar breath and show the tone of the guitar too, which i think is very important. So if you have a guitar which is a s close as it comes to a turd, guess what your going to hear coming through.

One last thing with this amp is that this amp sounds great cranked and still very nice at bedroom level (however more trannyish as the valves dont play as big of a role), so you dont need to have a second amp for practicing/gigging.

I call mine "the mule" jam this thing at volume 4 through two quads 3 times per week since 05 and never had an issue.

No idea

i would say this amp is definitely a 9. if you are specifically looking of vintage marshall tone such as ACDC, this wont necessary give it to you perfectly as it has a modern twist on the tone, however it is an incredibly versatile am which doesnt try to fool you with more knobs that a space ship. it is an amp which loves to be controlled and shaped by a good guitar with a good pair of hands behind it.

I love the 50w model, it has more tone than the 100 (and i am not just saying that because i own the 50w model) because the valves get to work hard. I also own 100w marshalls and i will never get 100w heads again, just cost more and are more expensive to change the tubes.....pointless.

I just want to comment that it has a lot of features I was looking for without getting too crazy.

When I got it home and plugged it in I was using my strat and was a little let down that I wasn't knock out by it. It was a bit edgey and a bit thin. I had bought some replacement tubes for it before hand thinking i might need them. I took off the rear panel and measured the bias and it was amazingly low. The one side was set at 34mv and the other side was 8mv. I replaced the tubes and reset the bias to roughly 39mv on both sides and then played my strat through it and it was amazingly better. It doesn't end there, when I played my Les Paul it was instant heaven. The Marshall loves humbucker type pickups and pedals are amazing through it. I have about 7 riggs and the dsl 50 is my favorite at this time.Riggs:Rivera KR55, Holland Bassman, Stiletto MB, Fender Supersonic, Vox AC30CC and a few others.

I haven't gigged with it yet.

This amp is a lot cheaper then most boutique amps out there that cost 2-3 times as much and they're trying to sound like this amp. My opinion is that if you're having trouble with it adjust the bias and change the tubes. These larger companies save a lot of money by cutting the cost of these cheaper tubes.

Made in 2005 and a "as new" store demo unit, it was released from demo service just prior to being discontinued in the USA, as the Vintage Modern and JVM series seem to have replaced it recently. The amp is actually fairly versatile for a two channel amplifier, with channel switching, reverb, effects loop. It comes with a footswitch for channel switching, but it is an option for the second footswitch to turn the reverb on and off. We tend to like simple amps and we also own a couple of Marshall AVTs 50 H and 50HX which are 50 watts as well. This DSL 50 is an all tube 2-EL34 & 4-12ax7 amp where the AVTs have a single 12ax7 preamp tube and are a solid state hybrid. The AVTs are now discontinued in the USA as well. 50 watts is plenty of power for us and 100 watts is just out of the question. The DSL sits atop a 1960BV with 4 Vintage 30s. It does a nice job in a full auditorium without even being turned all the way up and at home at very low volumes. The AVT's are also excellent amplifiers for the home, but the DSL has more of what you need on the big stage. Now discontinued, the JCM 2000 DSL 50 is a very good bargain right now for the prudent shopper. We really like this amp, but don't like giving out 10s either.

In this price range it is a very good deal right now. We use this amp with both single coils and humbucker equipt guitars. Our single coils are Fender Custom 69s, SCN, and American Standard Telecaster, and the Humbuckers are a mix of Tony Iommi and Angus Young Gibsons. Rock, Blues and Metal style, but nothing too crazy and it fits well. Our pedals are a normal grouping, phaser, chorus, Q, distortion, overdrive and they are a bunch of EHs some with 2- 12 ax7s and a Boss Super Shifter. We have a handwired PTP Dr. Z 18 watt Maz Jr. combo too, together with the DSL and the AVTs it covers just about everything we need right now. Marshall tube amps - like Harley Davidson motorcycles are not for everyone. We just happen to love them, but you meet a lot of people who don't appreciate the tone, so you really have to believe in what you are standing for. Many people can't believe that a solid state amp like the AVTs sound great, but they do, just put the right pedals in front of them. The DSL Clean channel is passable, but it is not what it is all about, as it functions more as an older sounding Marshall Plexi type tone from the past and called Classic Gain. It sounds really good, just not like Fendery clean, or boutique. The second channel has rocking heavy distortions called Ultra Gain that they didn't have in the old days and you will not find in the really old models, but more like an 80s model, of course the amps were all hand wired back then and these new ones are circuit board models and a lot like computers. We recently tried the Vintage modern combo (it's a single channel amp) and the 4 channel JVM and preferred the JVM, but it is all personal preference. You really should try it out to see if you like it, before you buy anything. Go to all the guitar stores nearby and sit there trying amps with your own guitars. Unless you plan on playing huge venues 50 watts is really plenty and probably in some sense, overkill as you would be surprized what you can do nowadays with handwired in lower wattages and microphoned with a PA.

Marshall is dependable, no backup, but we have it checked out before a big show, (especially since it was a demo unit). The amp sits very still, with covers on the speaker cab and head until needed. The tubes were replaced and biased immediately with real Svetlana EL34 Winged C. The preamp tubes were replaced as well, with 12ax7EH in 1 & 2 and 12ax7EI in 3 & 4 (Low risk of Microphonics). The service work cost an extra $200 including the tubes, bringing the total cost just over a grand. We record off of this DSL/4x12 cab as well. This amp rips - see it on You Tube!

The company is large and overseas, but have reps in the USA and plenty of service centers and a pretty nice world wide web site. Marshall is one of the largest amp manufacturers, so there is plenty of avenues for support, mods, etc. You can email them with questions and they respond. Service is conducted through one of their service centers locally and I only had to drive a half hour away to get to one.

We don't anticipate replacing it, and probably couldn't easily replace it either, in it's great condition. We may actually replace one of the AVTs soon as the 18 watt Dr. Z combo has moved into it's territory (it has a different, but awesome sound though). Certain Marshall amps have a cool sound that we really love and the DSL is not going anywhere anytime soon! We also like the castors on the cab for moving it around easily. The cab is just a little large and heavy, but it just fits in the car's backseat.

Purchased in 2006. If you are reading this you already know the main features of this amp. Primarily, it is two-channel simplicity with gain variations on each. EQ section is straight ahead with a mid "scoop" button and a bass boost button (my favorite). No degree in engineering required as this is very straight ahead. The new JVM is great, but too many combinations of gain stages, who needs all that?. Simply, this is an all-around performers amplifier that covers all the bases from clean to distortion, great for live and studio and easy to operate; and that's what it's all about.

The 50 watts are just right, great at low volumes too! My set up is simple, Marshall 1960A Cabinet guitar into pedal board with gain pedals going into the input and modulation pedals going through the loop. Guitars: Les Paul, Gibson Spirit II XPL, Music Man Axis. Pedals: EB Volume/Dunlop Cry Baby/Modified Tube Screamer/Fulltone OCD out to input. Modulation: Vis Sound H20/EH chorus/EH small stone phaser (that's it). The clean channel is superb, really it's crystal clear and full of warmth and tone in all setting ranges. I go for low setting and then add pedals to it. The anolog man modified Tube screamer in front of the clean is perfect to give it that added crunch and the OCD gives you bedroom level thump at low volumes. So it gives me all the variety I need of a clean/crunch channel, responds well with all pedals. The Overdrive channel I use all on it's own on the low settings for that "Classic Rock" heaven. Push in the gain button and you are in all the Metal you can handle. No pedals required, just pure Marshall, full of warmth, thump and clarity...YOU come through the amp! Note: The OCD through the clean really gives you the feel and vibe of the new Vintage Modern, it's really worth looking into! Bottom line, Marshall makes everything you add to it sound better.

Marshall, Made in England, used the world over...enough said.

I have never had to call Marshall for any maintenance issues, but my contacts with distributors in the US have been excellent. They stand behind their product.

I've played and recorded for almost 30 years. This 50 watt Marshall just fits. If you want an amplifer that gives you tone, warmth and acts as an extension of what you are "feeling" as a player. This is the amp. The 100 Watt models I find a bit too much, this is just right! As far as pedal set up and the like, throw away the digital modeling units and keep it simple. A guitar, cable and this amplifier are all you need; add pedals to "flavor" it, not hide it. This half stack is easier to move than any lunky 212 Combo out there (I've owned them all too). Trust me I'm 5 ft nothing/100lbs soaking wet and can move this baby! Just get it, your guitar will thank you! At 50 watts, your house will still be left standing...almost. Bottom line...a true tone machine for all styles...Way to Go Marshall

Everyone knows the features. Less is better!!

I Use several Fender Masterbuilt Clapton Strats with Lace Gold Sensors with occasional Crybaby Wah and Boss Chorus Pedals and additioanlly, but rarely, a Vintage Tube Screamer 808. I also use a Framptone amp splitter to A/B the Marshall DSL played through a Marshall Vintage Slanted Cab w/ 25 watt Greenback Celestions and a 65 Fender Blackface Super Reverb 4x10. Style of music is Classic Rock and Blues Style.

I have found my "holy Grail" of amps in the DSL. The sounds I can get from this amp with my setup and unique guitars are amazing. I got rid of many amps once I got the DSL, including a TSL 100 watt head which to my ears, sound sterile compared to the DSL. Don't get me wrong, the TSL is more versatile and has features the DSL doesnt have (Three seperate footswitchable channels, emulated line out, VPR making it a 25 watter, seperate EQ for all three channels, etc....) but comparing the two, the DSL's tone was more to "MY" liking.

Because it's shared, The EQ is fixed as follows: Presence 5, Treble at 8, Bass at 5, Middle at 6 and Clean channel reverb at 6 with the Lead channel reverb on 5.

When I'm not using my Fender for cleans, I use the DSL's crunch channel as my clean channel w/ volume at 4 and gain between 5 & 6 and I can get a really nice clean with just a bit of bite/blues character. With my Clapton midboost at 2, and volume at between 4 and 5 and tone on 10, its clean and creamy in a bluesy way. Roll up the midboost circuit on the Clapton Strat between 6 & 7, Boom!!!! You have a solid crunch that can go from a solid blues crunch to more of a ballsy crunch by putting the guitar volume up between 7 and 10 depending on how hard you dig in with your picking hand.

For Leads, it's all about the Ultra lead channel. For my style of playing (again classic rock/ Blues)I keep the volume between 4 and 5 with the gain on 6 and the guitar volume between 7 and 10 with the guitars midboost on 10 and I get that Clapton/ Buddy Guy like Lead tone. The Ultra lead is just so much better than the classic lead.....more sustain, harmoincs, and just inspirational.

Never had a problem

This amp was made in 2007. It's very versatile considering that it has a shared eq with the clean and distortion channels. I play alternative rock but I switch between the clean and distortion frequently. The DSL sounds great with both channels. One thing I really like is with the shared eq on both channels sound very balanced. Marshall did a fantastic job calibrating it. Very simplistic...Presence, Treble, Mid, Bass, gain and boost. That's almost as simple as it gets along with reverb. The DSL has your standard effects loop, speaker output and line out. With 50 blistering loud watts this amp can handle any gig! It's equipped with 2 x EL34's from Winged C....Love em! I've tried the JJEL34L's they do sound a bit deeper and robust but the Winged C has better breakup for my taste and it sounds a bit more clear. I've replaced the stock 12ax7a's with NOS Mullard, EI Elite, JAN Philips, Telefunken in V1-V4 in the order.

I use a Gibson Les Paul Classic and ESP EC-1000 both with SD JB/59 pick ups for my style of music. Those pickups sound amazing! I know there are others out there like WCR, Fralin, Tom Holmes and Bare Knuckle that are better but for sheer value and tone The JB sounds great! It does clean and distortion extremely well. I don't have any plans forking out 150-200 bucks per pickup. Not worth IMO if you have alot of dough in hand to spend. The DSL suits my style perfectly. It's a classic amp or will be and it has just great Marshall JCM 800-1959SL tones with more gain! To be honest I have my gain barely on 4 and it's more than enough. This amp is not noisy IMO unless you crank the gain to the max. I have my eq set to presence 7-8, treble 5-6, Mids 10, Bass 5-6 with red channel boosted and gain on 4. I use the green for sparkling cleans only. The Clean sounds are very impressive for a Marshall. It's warm with great clarity. I love it. This amp has solid state diodes.....but I don't care...all it matters to me is the sound! That's the bottom line and the DSL delivers the goods! The sounds are great either low or high volumes the cleans stay clean and focus unless you turn up the gain and the distortion is killer!! You can get metal mayhem to alternative hard rock. It's a Marshall! You know what you're going to get! Great tone! You know what they say...Can't go wrong with a Marshall!

Not sure. It's brand new like and only time will tell. So far it's been very reliable firing it up and rocking out with it!

Never dealt with them.

I got this amp new like in a box with the footswitch and manual. This is by far one of the best amps out there for your dollar..other than a Laney. Laney amps are better value for you buck...both amps are great, I have both the VH100R and DSL and I'm very happy with either one. You'll find better values on the DSL because there are so many of them out there. I've been playing for 12 years and have owned quite a bit of gear over the years like Orange RV50, Rivera K55, Laney AOR 50II, LH50R, and TT50H, Mesa BoogieStiletto and Ace, Marshall 6100 (BLue), Engl Thunder 50, Carvin MTS. There are others I haven't mention or forgot too. I have to say that out of all of them listed here. The DSL is my favorite. It just rocks! And it's so fun to play!

I don't exactly know when this amp was made, but it is sweet. I use this amp for playing mostly original hard rock, modern type of stuff with a good amount of gain. So it suits it very well. it has 2 channels, footswitchable of course, an effects loop and it has multiple switches for changing your tonal charecteristics such as a deep switch and a tone shift to name a couple. I don't think I can really find anything that I would like to change about this amp, or I wish it had. Maybe it could use a lead boost, but then it would be a TSL would'nt it, and thats what I probably would have bought. It is 50 watts, all tube, and it has plenty of power for any venue. I can't really complain about this head, I mean I did trade a 1972 Fender Bassman head for it with an ass load of other stuff. One thing though, the tubes in it suck. They produce a seriusly cold sound and I think alot of these companies should seriously invest in running JJ tubes in there amps. I did it, and it seriously warmed up my overall tone and beefed up the drive in this amp. JJ's are where its at, I run them in every amp I own and so do the other members in the band I play in. So fot the shite tubes I will take away 2 points.

Well, if I still had the original tubes in it, I would probably give it a 7 or an 8. Because they were shrill and cold, but were'nt totally unbearable. I mean the amp still sounded awesome, just not as good as it does with the JJ's that are in it. I play mainly my Gibson Les Paul Studios through it and my Gibson Les Paul Double Cut Faded with P90's. It takes well to the Humbuckers and P90's very well. It can give me a very good modern metal sound and at the same time (on the classic gain channel) it can give you the very same sound found in a ton of classic rock albums such as Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix. I use the classic gain channel as my clean channel, it gives me a little bit of dirt so I don't sound too clean. Which in my opinion works well for our style of music. The lead channel is excellent, I don't know why people stick to these "boutique" amps like Mesa, Bogner and other companies for there gain when you can get an excellent and very versatile lead channel from the Marshall JCM2000 amps at about $1000 less. I mean this lead channel has everything any kind of rock guitar player could ever want. It can go from light, smooth and creamy to full on balls to the wall saturation for that Metallica, Soulfly or any other type of high gain metal sound. It can do alot, but I would'nt perscribe it for anyone that plays country (not to sound like an idiot) or Jazz. But pretty much any other style it can do very well, if not perfectly. I run mine through a 4x12 Crate cab that I loaded with Celestion G12T-75's. It is now essentially a Marshall 1960A cab at half the cost. I will give it a 9, because the tubes made it less of a contender but the JJ really made it that much better. Try it.

Hey, Marshalls have never failed me before. They have never failed anyone I know, and they are great pieces of gear that anyone who owns them can swear by. Strong and powerful, and they have always been dependable for me, all the Marshalls I have owned including this one.

I have contacted them previously about my old JCM800 1x12 combo, and they were fast and accurate with the answers to the questions I had asked them.

So, all in all I am extremelly pleased with this amp. I have a great modern rock tone now. People constantly compliment the tone I get from my rig and, you know I have an opinion that your tone is 25% speakers, 25% guitar, 25% tubes and 25% amplifier. If the quality and tone of these 4 work well together, and are of the type and design that you seek, then you will acheive probably the exact tone you want. With all that crap said, I love this amp in conjunction with everything that I use with it. I have an awesome rock tone, and I don't think this amp will ever leave me. If it were lost or stolen I would get another, I have insurance on it so I would be able to get another. I am happy, and you probably will be to. Just try the amp with some JJ tubes, you will love it that much more.

Check out the other reviews for the specs...
2 channels, 3 band eq with presence control. Foot-switch for channels, and fx loop (if you need that) and everything else is standard Marshall.

Nothing I wish it had, It has enough power for practice. I keep it at around 6 for the band, and 2 or 3 for my apartment. I haven't played live yet but when I do I play on cranking this. I've noticed that it sounds better at higher volumes.

I'm giving it a 10 because It has everything I need and Marshall kept it simple. I'm coming from a Fender amp so the "presence" control is a bit foreign to me. With this amp its all about dialing in the eq.

First off, I don't like the clean. I had a fender hot rod deville before this amp and if I wanted to play clean I would switch back. I can hear the difference on recordings between a marshall clean and others now. The marshall has a clean sound of its own and is almost like a very light overdrive. I use it as such and just set the gain higher. With a footswitch it's now a shift between all an out distortion and overdrive.

Now, about the distortion. At first I wasn't to into it. I bought the amp because I was switching genres and I'm in college. Basically I wanted to play in a rock band and went out and bought my marshall. After tweaking the eq the distortion improved and I like it alot but it's not a very modern amp. If you're into ACDC and classic rock this is your sound, if you want to play 90s I might think about a mesa head instead. I still really like the distortion thought, I won't be changing anything soon, and I got this amp used at such a bargin ($1000 even with cab... but okay it was really beat up). I'm looking forward to changing the tubes, I think this will help out the clean.

Oh, I play an SG. I've ran a Strat through this amp alot. I think the muddy gibson sound is better suited for marshalls, though the Strat wasn't bad. I play 90s alternative and grunge.

Solid so far... it's not very noisy and seems easy to keep up. I'll swap the tubes soon to, hopefully, improve the sound. I think the owner never swapped out the originals so I'm expecting this to help out a bit.

I like how simple the amp looks, It's very dependable.

N/A

I got it for a great price. I wanted the look and sound of Marshall and knew I could get a good sound out of it. I think for more modern stuff I would have shopped around more, but my sound is changing all the time and I'm relatively new to guitar (3 years).

I had the fender amp before. I have to give it up to fender for the clean tone, but this Marshall has no pedal awesome distortion. I'm hoping with new tubes the sound will improve, but its great now after I've taken time to get to know the amp.

I chose it because of the deal I got and the name. No regrets, nothing I wish it had. The 50 watts is enough, probably makes it sound better because I can crank the amp more than I would a 100 watt head. I'm sure the higher end models like a jcm 800 would sound better, but for the price I was going for I'm more than satisfied. I'm no rock star and I don't hear an extra thousand dollars worth of tone when I listen to plexi heads. I guest when I hit it big I'll upgrade...
