Another take on Marz amps. – but I liked this amp a lot and in hindsight wish I ran it through a 4×12 cab, instead of the combo for a bigger sound. – I will revisit this amp in a later pack and do its justice it so deserves…Normally this can be an all out aggressive amp, but with it in combo form its mild at best..

Another amp that doesn’t get much love. – well it gets it from me, as I love this amp, I use this now at rehearsals too. works brilliantly with a pedal-board in front. and the cleans are very well structured with the right amount of dynamic talk. – the gain is OK, but not great hence why pedals are perhaps preferred on this amp.
