The best master volume Marshall ever made.
This is the perfect amp for a band situation. The EQ sits perfectly in the mix allowing you to hear everything you play. It has plenty of gain so that you don't even need an OD or boost, but responds very well to pedals anyway. Keep the rhythm clip pulled out and use the second 'channel' as a solo boost and you're good to go.
