Sound: 5/5
This is the amp to get if you want that distinct Marshall sound. The sound that this amp emanates is just pure tone nirvana. The clean channel is very clear even in high volumes and will break up nicely when you increase the gain. The crunch channel is perfect for rhythm; the distortion is not too muddy and convoluted sounding like mesa rectifiers. It is very well defined and you can hear every note cut through. The lead channel is ridiculous when you max out the gain setting; perfect for solos and songs that require mind blowing distortion. This head emphasizes on mids and treble, which is perfect for my tastes, but has enough bottom end for brain rattling palm muting.

Equipment Quality: 5/5
This amp is very solid. I just recently purchased it and the drat thing held up well against lovely weather from the two gigs I played recently.

Usefullness: 5/5
This amp is leaps and bounds beyond my JCM900 50w head. It has a sea of knobs and buttons for you to tweak and fine tune your sound. It is perfect for all styles of music.

Overall Value: 5/5
I bought this brand new and its worth every dime of it. I was torn between the Bogner Shiva, Mesa Triple Rectifier and this amp, but after few hours of meddeling around the shop, this one came out as the best sounding one.
