Re: Marshall Valvestate, yay or nay?
I've owned an AVT50 combo for 3 years now. I wanted to get an all tube Marshall but couldn't afford it at the time so I got this. Sure there are better sounding amps out there around the same price, but I'm a Marshall fan & this amp has suited my needs fine. It does sounds better cranked & since I've started gigging with a new band lately, it keeps up just fine. I find it does have a smidgen of that warm tube sound, especially after it heats up, so I will take a little tubage than none at all. That 12AX7 has to be doing something. The other guitarist in the band uses a JCM800 halfstack & this little guy can hold it's own. Mind you, my master is on 7 & his is on 2.
I've always wanted to get an all-tube Marshall halfstack but sometimes it's nice to only have to carry a little 40 lb combo around.
So I will have to say yay, but take into mind I'm partial to Marshall & am an owner of an AVT.
