I love the Gain of this Amp , typical Marshall its very Tuby on Single notes and sober Gain on Chords. I can recommend this AMP specially for People playing the Rock Genre, no matter what Type, here it is very strong and really made for. Also when you could play clean things and some sort of Metal types too. Its great for every Rock Type thing no matter what: Hardcore, Punk, Hard Rock, Pop Punk, Shoegaze, Grunge, Psycodelic , Emo, Ska Punk, Pop Rock, Gothic, New Wave , Indie, Nu, Alternative, Math , Post Rock, ... and you can play it also clean where it has not the beauty of a Fender. But ! With some Reverb , Delay , Modulation , Tape Pedals can also reach dreamy sounds and ambient and can be clean enough where you can play Blues, Easy Listening, R&B even with some crunch and even cleanish Jazz. With a Boost Pedals it gets even into classic Metal, Nu Metal and with a Fuzz into Doomer. For modern Metal I would choose something else to reach really a high quality modern metal sound , but with pedals and high output Humbuckers its very close to that range, I would say, where it sounds acceptable. Do not let people tell you this AMP would not sound good with Single Coil Pick ups or a Semi hollow Guitar, its then that these people searching for a specific sound they could not achive with single coil like Metallica, ACDC or whatsoever , but it sounds also great with these Guitars, but do not forget its a bright-ish gain AMP mostly what you will achive and when this is not the sound you are searching for this AMP is not ideal for you. I play it at Home and I can not even tell what the Gain is really like by higher Volume, what should be even much more stunning. That you can not play this AMP at Home is wrong, but of course not cranked, the Gain on Low Volume is already nice to have. The Volume you put where you can hear something and thats fine and not too loud even not with sensitive neighbours, you will have even room to dail the volume of your pedals up. To use the volume into the High Imput, just get me from a lot of Gain Down to cleanish-crunch but not plain clean. The AMP is bright , not to bright and of course you can dail in Bass, but bright and very good for a band situation and to stand out the mix. Its also great for gain solo-ing realy shines here too. Do not expect to reach a very warm dark Bassy type of sound - to sound great here you can do , but for a very "warm" Sound there are other AMPs better , then I would go more for the JCM900. And you got an AMP you can not only play at home, its loud enough to play it on a city ​​festival and from small Gigs to everything else. The Head can be carry its heavy but not too heavy , the 4x12 Cabinet alone, aww is painfull and too heavy on a lot of stairs, you wanna move it just a few meters in the room but not more. The Low Imput is also nice to have , most people do not use it, but when you wanna play something clean it is very nice. I did not tryout the Loop EFX , I love to put everything into the front, so I forgot. The AMP makes a lot of Fun to play, I just wanted to test it just a shot time and then played for hours. Its expensive , its very simple , it can just plug-in and Rock or plugn and be clean, only a few knobs to tune a bit the sound , nothing complicated very quick , you play more do less touching is nice to have. The AMP comes with a Speaker cable, it looks very cheap, I would better buy a good one, they do not cost that much. Do not just switch it on , it needs to be right connected to a Speaker Cabinet , what is easy and donefast you choose 16 Ohms on the Switch with a screw drine was already done and then to 16 ohm speaker cabinet imput , or you might choose 8 ohm or 4 ohm is possible, to use it into a stereo cabinet or 2 cabinets you have 2 outputs and is also possible, do not forget to half the ohms, your cabinet should be able to be load with at least 100 Watt of course. Its very robust Build, Corner Protected , the Carry handel is very very nice done, but its a bit open on Top to cool and breath , you should not put it into too small space and beware nothing will fall into the Amp there and not put your open beer on Top of the Head.

The Marshall 1960A 4x12'' Cabinet is a very nice sounding Cabinet I got the Angled one the Sound fills good up the Room , you hear it all around. It does not Sound Boxed. The 4x 12" Celestion G12T-75 Speaker do match very good to the Gain of the JCM800 and JCM900 Amps. It is very heavy 37kg, you do not want to carry them alone , when then just a few meters or push/pull it on the ground. Easy to push and pull does glide over a smooth floor. The Handels on both sides are very well build you can heavy pull the Amp and carry it with 2 people. Very Robust build, Corners are protected. The Cabinet comes with 4 Wheels, so you can roll it too, sad no electric motor and no stearing you can not ride on the cabinet over the streets. It can be operated in 4Ohms or 16 Ohms and 8Ohm in Stereo. With a Switch to choose between Stereo and Mono and 2 Imputs. It can be loaded with a, up to 300 Watt Amp. Can be very Loud if you want to and sound a wide area. It comes with a cheap Speaker cable , you better buy a better one.

- Noiseless - Enough Ports - Can be Extended - The only thing I do not like , you have to pull the plug, no Switch on and off

Its a Tubescreamer in Middel Troggle Switch, with 2 more Overdrive Voicings It has 3 Settings per Troggle Switch 1st Setting is kinda Bluesdriverish Overdrive 2nd Setting is kinda Tubescreamer 3rd Setting is kinda Transparent Overdrive It sounds Good on all 3 Positions, also when 1 and 3 are a bit similar and an Overdrive Voicing and the middel is the pure Tubescreamer. It can be loud , so also be used as a Boost. When the Plumes is used alone on Low Level settings the Volume is very different when you change the position, what can be a dislike, but easy to understand because the middel Position is the pure Tubescreamer the 1st postion is quieter, Middel Position has much more Volume where the Tubescreamer is and the Last Position is similar to 1st Position, but even a bit more quieter. But when you run this into another Pedal after the Plumes like the Rat, the Volume will be pretty the same on all Positions, also when you run the Pedal on higher Volume the difference when troggeling in Volume is not that much anymore present. On a Clean Fender Rod Hot Deluxe IV, my fav. settings are: Troggel Switch Middel Tube Screamer, Level 8:00, Gain 13:00, Tone 15:00 with low output Pick ups like a Jazzmaster Middel Position, the Hot Rod Rod sounds some kinda Dumble Steel String Singer Amp kindish. I like all about this pedal , only not that Volume changes that much with the troggle Switch, but it is acceptable and to understand because the middel position is something very else and a Tube screamer and does push the Amp more then the other settings with the Vocings and you mostly will not switch the troggle in the middel of a song or something, so I am fine with this , also when I was a bit shocked and dissapointed about that, when had it on the 1st time.

- Well known Dirty , Aggressive Distortion, hard clipping , with Texture in Sound Its an dirty , aggressive Distortion thats why its called Rat can be used to create very aggressiv Sounds, nice for Rock, Punk, Grunge ... - goes from Hard Distortion up to Fuzz-ish like Distortion - Very Grid-ish, Distortion - Cheap - Very Robust - Can be seen in Dark Environments, thanks to the Logo with Phosphorescent Glow - Simple Distortion, Filter (Tone), Volume Knobs - Good to Add and Stack onto other Pedals also OK to Texturing and Granulate other Sounds in some cases - 9V, Mono Only

Looks Good Quality is good Has Pockets for Pics Length can be adjusted by screws , got enough Length It's nice Padded and Thick Wide and not too slim Too small Picks might fall/slip out of the Pockets somtimes

+ Looks Good also when the Color does bleed on the white backgroud + Quality is good + Has Pockets for Pics + Length can be adjusted by screws , got enough Length + It's nice Padded and Thick + Wide and not too slim - Too small Picks might fall/slip out of the Pockets somtimes

- light weight Capodaster - Does its job good also with other Fredboard Radius - Fast to Clip on - Small - Is Cheap - Easy to Clean - Quality so far so good , long term use unknown - Does not make scratches on the Guitar

Its robust, 1,5m long enough to combine Head and Speaker directly , made in Germany.

Robust and long lasting, looks very nice, Tweed , by Fender does its job.

Robust , Cheap Instrumentenkabel. Only Had issures that the screw did come loose where you can solder the connections , but I did tighten it ones and since then its was no issure anymore.

They are Stiff , abit slippy and take a lot, only one did break on my hard String attack, do not loose so much material, the sound of the attack is not so plastic-ish like on other Picks.

Do not break that fast Plastic a bit slippy sometimes on hard attack you can hear the typical plastic slap

- Very Robust Build - Last Long had mine some years, without any Problems - Got Headphone Output, Imputs for Expression and Volume Pedal, Speaker Outputs L/R - Multi Effects Pedal , Compressor, Distortion, Overdrive, EQ Auto Wah, Modulation , Phaser, Chorus, Tremolo, Flanger Pitch, Delay , Ping Pong Delay, Reverb - Sound Quality is not good - A lot of Noises , a lot of Hiss and Whoosh, specially on Gain
