Yeah sounds like they have really thought long and hard about the functionality. Great stuff - look forward to the samples.Mike wrote:Totally, it's almost like they preempted all the "what if it could do this..?" questions.

I thought they basically sellotaped a valve to the inside of the chassis of a solid state amp, then sold it as a valve amp to stupid fuckers like me.Mike wrote:It is a dual triode so that's two gain stages, but they'll probably be one more transistor gain stage for an Overdrive sound and two more for a heavy overdrive sound.Doog wrote:I'm pretty sure it has a solidstate preamp too, you can't get that much distortion from a single 12AX7.DeadPenny wrote: AVT is for Advanced Valvestate Technology... basically using a 12AX7 in the preamp paired with a solidstate power section. and i have no idea what MG stands for... but MG is the budget chinese import solidstate marshall.
Okay I've gotta hand it to Marshall, looks like they were listening in regards to the footswitch issues of the past - I trust Mike's judgment he's thorough. Wonder if it's capable of detuned thrash with an active humbucker without sounding fizzy and tinny.
Can I come and jam at your place Mike?

I'll make samples this weekend (hopefully Clean and Crunch channel tonight and OD1/OD2 tomorrow). It's got a shedload of gain, I can't play thrash but I'll try and give you an idea when I get to the gain channels.
