Elon Back –
Maybe I have no experience with too many amplifiers, but I can definitely recommend this one. Sounds great, especially compared to my current transistor. Contrary to some opinions circulating on the Internet, both the clean (classic gain) and the distorted (ultra gain) channel are on the plus side. The former does not distort that much, and the latter is enough to play something like Metallica. The fact is that black / death metal will not play without knocking out the dice, but this Marshall probably does not target these genres.
