Advantages: Reliable and looks lovely

Disadvantages: Poor distorted sound, limited clean head roomq

One of the biggest names in amps release for the home budget market.

Even to non musicians Marshall amps are easily recognised, built on a legacy of the 60s and 70s they can now be found at any level in the market.

So here we have the lower end of the market. What we get here is a 15 watt, solid state amp in that lovely black and gold finish.

It's a two channel amp, which means you can switch from clean to over drive pretty simply.

Clean sounds on this aren't too bad, they are clean, you can probably go up to about 70% on the volume before the sound is not so clean any longer.

Now Marshall are famous for that rock crunch, think Zeppelin or Slash, or many other stadium rock bands. So putting this one the dirty channel leaves you disappointed to be honest.

As with most amps at this end of the market you're basically getting wasp in a jar type sounds once the drive dial is turned up.

While there is nothing wrong with this amp for a beginner, there is certainly better out there to be had for the same money (Epiphone Blue junior for instance) but the Marshall name and look is always going to sell well.

Summary: An ok amp but the same money could buy you valve power.
