Marshall Studio Vintage SV20H (black)

Looks: This thing is way better looking in person. The black and gold color scheme is gorgeous and the entire unit looks well made and sturdy.

Sound: As you'd expect, it sounds like a Marshall. I have been using pedals and modelling products to get the classic Marshall sound and I couldn't quite nail it. As soon as I plugged it in, the sound was there. It is also insanely loud even on low power mode. Everyone says it's really loud, they aren't lying.

Packaging: My amp took a long journey to get here and it wasn't packaged particularly well, but surprisingly there were no scuffs or signs of wear. There was styrofoam inserts which probably helped, but there was no plastic around the actual amp and the box was ripped by the time it got to me, so there was potential for damage. Luckily nothing though!

My amp came with a blown tube, but Musix made it right. They are great to deal with!

Overall, all of the amp I expected it to be, and more. I was worried about spending this much on a PCB amp, but I'm a home player mostly so hopefully it will be ok sitting here. After hearing it for the first time I'm glad I chose this one, a Marshall is a Marshall, and this is a darn good one.
