My first "real" amp! Sounds really nice, especially the cleans. This makes my Tele sing! And at $175, a great deal!

Ok here's some pics!

Congrats! Happy NAD! (That just sounds wrong, doesn't it?)

Can you post a sound sample? Very curious as to the tones from this puppy...

Love the Tele, by the way...very cool!

Took the day off today because I wanna play with this thing LOL! Yes, I think I'll record a demo. :)

Ok, here's some specs on the amp:
Solid State
2-channel
2x12 stereo 50wx2
digital effects: chorus, delay, flanger, chorus/delay, reverb
headphone jack
cd/mp3-in jack
footswitchable (it's supposed to include a footswitch but the seller didn't have it)

Congrats 1neeto! I once owned an MG30DFX, and it was a nice sounding little practice amp. Back when I bought it new it was originally $350, so I think you did quite well! Enjoy! And nice tele!

Thanks for the compliments on the tele guys! She is my favorite guitar, I just love that thing!

When I went to check out the amp, I ask the seller if he has a guitar for me to try it with. He brings out this beautiful LP standard in cherry burst with a bigsby trem. My jaw hits the floor and all of a sudden I forgot how to play LOL! Then I got comfortable with it and wow did that guitar play great or what!

Then the FedEx man arrives with this box. He seems very excited about it and signs it then proceeded to open it. I'm not paying much attention because I'm just noodling away. He then asks me for an E, and that's when I looked at what came out of the box; an absolutely stunning PRS Santana Yellow! I just freeze on my tracks there, that's a $6000 guitar right in front of me! I disconnect my lead cable and pass it to him, and he starts to play away. He did some Moon Flower licks and then he said "I have to set her up, it doesn't play right". So me not wanting to take more of his time I paid him, thanked him and lugged the amp to my car.

He's a cool guy and will probably see his band play soon. Here is a video he sent me.

Thanks! First piece of gear since nearly a year ago. :)

Ok here's a teaser video checking out its features. I'm gonna plug in the guitar and make a demo later today. :)

Yeah I always thought I was more of a boogie man, but I realized that I'm very fond of the Marshall crunch. Even when I play with my modeling stuff, I always stick more to the Marshall models. When I made my first recordings I went for the Marshall model as well. :)

Nice demo, the effects sounded good and gave it a nice spacey feel.

There are a lot of great brands of amps out there, and Marshal is definitely one of them. Again, congratulations!

Thanks!

At first I made a demo that showcased all the effects but I figured that would make the video way too long. If I was a great player I would not mind making a 10 minute demo video, but my fretting hand wasn't cooperating today LOL!
