Park G80RCD

This amp was manufactured in 99, I beleive. It's one of Marshall's Park series solid state 80 watt amps. It's got 2 channels, clean, and boost, and 2 overdrive switches, an effects loop, CD input, and complimentary channel and reverb switching pedal. Basically has the same front panel as the G100RCD head.

I'm plugging in with a Godin G-1000 with stock pickups, and play mostly metal and hard rock. The clean channel is wonderful and bright, however, I must say that by plugging straight into the amp, using the amp distortion, I was a bit dissapointed when trying to acheive a nasty, heavy distortion sound. The distortion sounds a bit too muddy, and uneven. The amp was noticeably quiet though, and may be great for that blues, or classic rock sound, but the amp alone is not that great for a heavy crunch. When plugging in with a Zoom GFX-707, the thing rocked. The distortion was crystal clear, and sounded great. I'll give it a 7 mainly because an amp should sound good without any effects, and in this case trying to acheive a good heavy sound was not possible without an effects processor.

I just bought it, so I wouldn't know how reliable it would be. I would probably gig with this amp.

Never dealt with them.......yet.

I've been playing for about 5 years. I also own a 15 watt peavy transtube amp, and just sold a Pearce G-1 preamp. If it were stolen, I would probably look for another amp which has a better direct distortion sound. I like the features of this amp, and I would reccommend it to people.

This is the new line of amps to MARSHALL and its certainly a typical one at that.Great features,two channels(normal and boost) goes from clean/crunch to overdrive 1/2,Very versatile,the amps own distortion is typical british rock.I play through a Zoom 505 and can get good rock sounds,I play Pantera, Dream Theater,I ron Maiden and Metallica styles of music and this amp suits it well.

I have an Ibanez RG 470 Cherry Fudge which standard S7,v1 etc and they perform superbly on this amp.The clean channel can be bright to very bluesly.This amp certainly suits my styles.

This is one sturdy mother fu*ker and its tough.Marshall are recognised for this and they certainly have lived up to their reputation.

I bought it from a store in Cairns,Australia and there were very helpful and explained the very littlest of details fluently.
There is a 12 mth warranty.

I have been playing for around 3 years now and love to play and listen to Pantera, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden etc, I love the work of Dimebag and Petrucci.This amp certainly is the best I have ever owned and this will last me a long time. If it were stolen I would get very flustered and probally punch my door down and watch Pantera 3.

1999, Park Marshall, 1 input, footswitch inc, 2 channels both with own 3 band EQ, crunch on clean, effects loop, line out for recording or mixing, cd input, 2 speaker outputs, 100 w 12in gold Marshall speaker, reverb, contour control on gain channel, all in a solid state park Marshall!

I am using a Fender Nashville tele though the amp. I play music such as the Smashing Pumpkins and the Foo fighters, which I can create a very pleasing sound with this amp. The amp is very noiseless on both channels, even with the highest gain setting possible. It is a very versatile amp. I have played on a Marshall DSL40 and a TSL100 and this gain on this amp is a lot more promising at low volumes and is a lot more versatile, though this amp dosnt give you them gorgeous overdriven valve sounds that you get out of the T and DSL, It gives you something you cant get out of either of them amps. This amp also pulls its weight a high Volume, the clean channel dosnt distort and the distortion on the gain channel does not lack.

Brilliant, hasn't failed me once, but 1 haven't gigged or been very brutal with it

Great sound, reliable, fetures galore, for #260
