Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

I’ve owned this amp for a little less than a year now, and I must say I’m quite pleased with it. I’ve been using it playing bluesrock and some alternative rock in a power trio. I’m also owner of a Fender blues deluxe and I must say that when it comes to lower volumes I prefer the Marshall. When it comes to higher volumes it would depend on the music I would play.

Ups:
– Great looks. I just like the ”vintage” look of it.
– The Amp sounds good at the lower volumes and has the ability to switch between power.
– It takes pedals very, very well.
– It gives a natural overdrive/crunch when you make it work at higher volumes.

Downs:
– The footswitch must be connected when using the FX loop (like I do), otherwise it won’t work. The footswitch also has annoying bright LED’s and now takes up unnesesary space on my pedalboard. Might consider making a device that connects to the FS connection and keeps the FX loop activated.
– No built in reverb. I have one on my pedalboard, but I’m sure some people would consider this a disadvantage.
– Very good at cleans, but needs pedals in order for your dirty sounds. But then again, that’s what the pedalboard is for.

Overall: quite pleased and I would definitely recommend it.

Comment:

Stil testing the amp and was verry happy with it at low volume but now after testing it yesterday together with drums and must say I am not convinced with it by higher volumes. The sound is much different clangy sounding and not going away while tweaking the tilt/EQ/presence, the sound changes but the clangyness stays, wich I absolute do not like… and I do not like to compromise things.
Using an Ibanez TS9 and a second stage overdrive Boss SD1 to work with the valves but still i’m not pleased with the high volume sound compared to the low volume sound and it feels like it is the speaker that does not handle it the same like it should, so I tried a different speaker in an extention cabinet with it on the 16 Ohm output and that sounds much better. The speaker in the cab is a Celestion Heritage G12H-75 15 Ohm in a Palmer cabinet, I ordered specially to get that problem solved, but did not solve, only concluded that the Celestion Heritage G12H-75 15 Ohm is much superior to that stock speaker that you can not replace it in the combo definitive because that one should be also minimum a 50w 16 Ohm speaker and the G12H is just 25w.
Tried it with the stock 16 Ohm speaker on the 8 Ohm output together with the Palmer/celestion G12H 16 Ohm on the other 8 Ohm output and not good, the G12H sounds louder and combined not really a good combination.
This said al by loud volume. Little sad because I wanted it to be great as like it sounded/ felt at bedroom volume…
