Members Lucius Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Crappy new amp day. Picked up this Marshall AVT150 the other day for a quick low volume plug'nplay amp. Super surprised by the clean/low and mid gain sounds of this thing. Like enough to keep the amp just for these low volume tones. The high gain channel is somewhat usable but I think it would have a hard time cutting in the mix (but I didn't buy it for this application anyway). I found a decent high gain sound with all the EQ knobs maxed and the scooped button engaged. The effects section is not terrible and on par with other crappy on board effects amps. Overall not a bad purchase for $200 with the footswitch. Cheers, Lucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OceansBetweenUs Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 To be honest - I always liked this amp. My buddy gigged this and an American Fender Tele for 4+ years as his only rig, playing mid to large sized venues in the Connecticut/NY/PA/NJ area. The clean channel rocks, especially since you can toss on a little reverb/chorus with the footswitch in one tap of your foot. The distortion isn't horrific either - it got the job done. In a live setting, I think it works just fine if you don't wanna beat up your more expensive rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can get a great srv tone out of it for some strange reason. Cheers, Lucius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skinsscalper Posted January 10, 2012 Members Share Posted January 10, 2012 Nice score for $200.00, IMHO. I'd rock the {censored} out of that for a couple of bills, especially if it's not even your "go to". Cool practice amp! Love that Alexi LTD, BTW!
