AVT150 Review

The AVT150 combo boasts more channels and features than any other Valvestate amplifier before. Its four channels are: Acoustic Simulator, Clean, Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2. The fact that all four channels are footswitchable means that one guitarist now has the flexibility to use professional quality acoustic and electric sounds in the same song, without having to change guitars or amps!

Features: I bought the amp brand new, it has 4 channels acoustic sim, clean, OD1 and OD2. It comes with a foot switching module which enables you to stomp between channels, it also has some very nifty built in effects such as modulation, delay, chorus, flange and many more. It suits me perfectly as I love to play stuff from heavy metal music to soft rock using the acoustic sim. If I was to say one thing I would add to the amp it would be adding wah to the effects but that is only minor and as I own a wah pedal, it really isnt a problem. My wah and a few other of my effects pedals such as MXR Phase90 and Boss MT-2 pedal are linked up via effects loop and it works really well. I use this amp for practice on volume level 2 but I'm safe in the knowledge to know if I want to crank it right up to 9 or 10 it will blow every one away, I also know if I want to expand and add yet more volume! I can buy the AVT112 cab and add another 100Watts of power to and already truely amazing amp. // 10

Sound: I'm currently using an Ibanez GRG270B and I play heavy rock music like the Foo Fighters, it suits my style easily. It can sound pretty much any way you want it. Whether you want nice clean tone with abit of chorus effect. Whether you wanna play fuzzy metal music with high gain and some modulation. What you wanna play, it can do. The clean channel sounds crisp as I said before and at any volume. The distortion just kills everything that moves. This amp can be so bassy and can really make you feel the noise go right through you. An excellent experience. // 10

Reliability & Durability: As most of you will know, Marshall amps are probably the best in the business for reliability. I've had my amp a little over 2 months now and I have test driven it to how I am going to use it. It's been gigged, Its been put in cars and carried around with the occassional knock. I never use backup at gigs because I cant afford another amp as I'm a student. If you take care of it and dont throw it down stairs, it will last a life time. // 10

Impression: Over all this amp suits me down to the ground. I have been playing guitar a little over a year and it really has changed me for the better. Before I was a crap guitar player and was trying to replicate my favourite bands and was just getting it wrong. This new amp has inspired me and I've started to write my own stuff. I have used many guitars from Epiphone SG's to Ibanez RG's. This amp is perfect for any style, it is a very reasonable price considering the package. When I bought the amp, I never knew it would be so great, I just thought it was gonna be a step up from my practise amp, I didn't realise the size of it until it arrived, I was skeptical at first that I wouldnt be able to hack it as I looked at the front and saw about 30 different knobs. But its a friendly giant and really does make playing guitar a joy. I would definately buy it again if it was broken or stolen. If you buy this amp, You wont be disappointed. // 10

Features: Now...this amp is some piece of work! With 4 channels, 10 built-in effects which can be altered and a neat footswitch (with the 4 channels and 2 switchs for clean and overdrive effects), I'd say this would be a good second amp choice (ie. after the small, unversatile 30 watt amps). Unfortunately it just doesn't have the volume to do anything massive at a gig as I end up turning the volume knob past 3/4, which is never a good thing, just to cut it over the drums. It has various jack inputs for effect stuff at the back but I have no idea what they actually are used for.

The 4 channels are as follows - Acoustic Simulator, Clean, Overdrive 1 and Overdrive 2. Each channel has their separate Volume knob. The Acoustic Simulator has a Top knob and a button which adds more 'body' to it. The Clean channel has a Gain knob and a button which makes it 'brighter'. The OD1 and OD2 channels are the same, each with a Gain knob and a Scoop button. Using the footswitch you can change between all these and turn on/off effects. There is a Presence and a main Volume knob which apply to all the channels.

The built-in effects are reasonably good. They include delay, flanger, chorus and all sorts of reverb. I am disappointed with the flanger just because I don't like the sound, but the chorus is real nice especially with the acoustic simulator. Unfortunately OD1 and OD2 have to share the same effect settings. The Acoustic Sim. and the Clean also have to share the same effect settings. // 8

Sound: I use my Ibanez RG550 with H/S/H pickup config. when using the amp. I play full out rock and it just fits perfectly with my style and guitar. With decent pickups, unwanted feedback can be avoided even at high volume and wanted feedback can be easy to get by just thrusting your pickups to just right beside the amp. Like all Marshall's, there is a really wide variety of settings which allow for almost all styles. The clean channel does not distort at all at high volumes. I think that OD2 should be a bit more brutal and pack a greater punch and then you could use OD1 as a 'quieter' overdrive. This amp might not go down too well with metal players because of the lack of balls in the distortion. // 10

Reliability & Durability: Like all Marshall's, extremely reliable in any environment. I have used it in various gigs without a backup and it's just perfect. There seems to be one running problem with mid-range Marshall's, and that's the internal fans. They can be replaced at a small cost but it is annoying when they start making strange noises in the middle of a gig. // 10

Impression: I'd say the only thing better than this amp would be a bigger Marshall/Peavy/Laney/etc. It really is the best 150 watt amp around. Maybe not a first-timers amp but a real good choice for after the practice amps. I first seen and heard this amp from a friend and I fell in love with it. I bought one and my mate bought one. We all think it's great. Recently another mate of mine has bought one because of our good comments and he also loves it. That has to mean something... // 10

Features: I don't know what year it was made in but it must be fairly recently because it's first hand. It plays great, great clean tone, and overdrive for that matter too. It has 4 channels: acoustic simulator, clean, od1, od2, has an FX loop: 7 effects and 3 reverbs and a headphone jack. I use this as a practise and gig amp, it's good for practising with headphones and volume on 1 so definately enough power. // 10

Sound: I'm using it with a Westfield Les Paul and it absolutely rocks it works better with the treble pickup but maybe that's just the sound I prefer. It suits the music I play, Offspring, Metallica, Nirvana, and it works well with all of these. You can definately make it noisy its got 150 watts and this baby cranks you can have it quiet but then it get loud very steaply. It can make a wide variety of sounds there are too many settings for me to be asked to describe but after a few hours it works out easily, lots and lots of variety especially with the effects. The clean channel is very stable and stays clean unless you put a lot of gain on of course. Both the overdrives are good, od1 is more of a punchy overdrive-like what AC/DC used in Back In Black, and the od2 is just a monster of distorted overdrive, perfect for all heavy stuff, but on fairly low setting suits HIM songs well. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I definately depend on it, this thing is built like a tank. There's no chance your gonna break it and I doubt it would blow up in a gig so I would definately rely on it. It hasn't broke down yet and I doubt very much if it will. // 10

Impression: I play mainly punk rock, metal and grunge and it definately suits those types and the acoustic sim is pretty good. I've been playing a year and a bit, I use this amp with a Westfield Les Paul and Squier Strat. If it was stolen I would find out who did it ain't drop it on ther head. I just love the whole thing it's such a great amp and it has everything exept wah really so a best buy in my books. // 10

Features: I don't know what year this amp was made in. This amp suit me quite well for the style of music that I play, but only at band practise cause in my bedroom you have to turn it up to get a good thick distortion and it squeals like hell. I play a lot of stuff like Metallica, Children Of Bodom, Opeth, Trivium, all that sort of stuff. Tis amp can pretty much handle it all but only at high volumes, at low volumes it sounds like one of those MGs. it has 4 channels, Acoustic simulator, Clean, Overdirve 1, and Overdrive 2, and 16 effects. // 8

Sound: I am using an Ibanez RG2550E with this amp and I have to say it sounds really awesome, with the DiMarzio/Ibz pickups. It suits my style very well, which is mostly varying types of metal eg. Pantera Metallica, Children Of Bodom, Opeth, Lamb Of God, Trivium, all that stuff. I also play some Indie as well. The probem with this amp is, when you turn the volume past about 6 even while standing a good bit away from it, it starts squealing and it is increasingly annoying, becuase you have really good tone, and you have to start playing quickly before your eardrums explode out of feedback but there is a way to set the knobs so that this doesnt't happen but I haven't quite fugured that bit out yet. The amp can acheive preety much any sound and I don't need to use any effects pedals the amp would explode with feedback (or so it sounds like it would). The clean channel is only distorted at high volumes if you turn the gain up really high, it's like OD1, so you have to keep the gain fairly low as long as it doesnt't take away from volume. The distortion isnt really that "brutal" but at high volumes without the squeaking it can be brutal enough. // 7

Reliability & Durability: This is a very dependable amp and it has been gigged and I never intend to use a backup, it's heavy enough as it is! it has never broken down and it's built like a tank so I don't ever see it breaking down in future! Plus I don't have any other amp so I don't think I would be using a backup anyway! // 10

Impression: I play metal and this is a good match but only when the volume is high, when low I just shred anyway with weak distortion but it's still a good sound. I have been playing for three years and I also own an Ibanez RG2550E and a DigiTech Hot Rod Distortion pedal but I don't use it with my AVT, it doesnt't need it. If it were stolen I would buy a Line 6 Spider III, becuase they are good too. I wish it didn't squeak as much when I turn it up, my favourite feature is the built in effects and the acoustic simulator. // 7

Features: This amp is made in England. It has a 1x12 cabinetand it is a valve amp, not a tube amp. It is an extremely versatile amp and it comes with a footswitch. It has 4 different amp settings built into one: acoustic simulator, clean, overdrive 1, overdrive 2. I use this amp with an Ibanez jem. The acoustic simulator is amazing. The tone it produces is really warm. It is perfect for strumming. The clean setting is less warm and more harsh, more appropriate for solos or lead parts than strumming. The overdrive 1 and overdrive 2 are slightly different. The first one has less punch and body than the second one. The first one is very good for blues however, I dont like it very much. OD2 is perfect for heavy rock, the music that I like playing. It is great for riffs as well as the solos. This amp is very loud, good enough for small gigs but after you turn up the volume past three quarters of the maximum, it starts to buzz and hiss alot. It has effects loops, although I prefer to plug pedals directly, i.e. amp, efects, guitar. It does come with a footswitch. The footswitch has 6 swiches on it. 4 are to change the amp settings (acoustic, clean, OD1, OD2). The other 2 turn on and off OD1/2 effects and Ac sim/clean effects. The amp comes with 15 effects: 10 reverbs and 5 effects such as chorus, flange, delay. I really like the delay.

The accoustic simulator has 3 controls: simulator, volume and a body switch (it adds depth to the tone). the clean has 6 controls: gain, volume, bass, treble, middle and a bright switch which can make the tone brighter or sharper. OD1 and OD2 each have a separate volume and gain knob as well as a scoop Switch and they share middle, bass and treble controls. The amp has an overall volume and presence control. For the effects, OD1 and OD2 share one set while the simulator and clean share another seperate set. The effects sections has controls that affect depth, speed, mix. // 10

Sound: I use this amp with the evolution pickups that come with the Ibanez Jem 7V. I only use the humbuckers. I use the neck pickup with the acoustic simulator and clean and I use the bridge pickup with the overdrive 2. I do not like th OD1. This amp suits me very well. The clean settings are perfect. The distortion is good enough for rock music however it is not heavy enough for people Who play metal and thrash. It becomes noisy when the volume is turned up to full so it is not good enough for bigger gigs. As I said, the only problem is that the distortion is not brutal enough. // 8

Reliability & Durability: This amp is reliable. It is really strong and extremely heavy. It weighs 30 kilos so it is quite a nuisance to transport. I would gig with this amp without a backup. // 10

Impression: It is a good amp for people Who want to start jamming in a band. This amp is better than the AVT100 because it has the acoustic simlator which is really really good. It is not good enough for metal or thrash players because the distortion is not brutal enough. I have been laying guitar for 4 years and this is my second amp after a Micro Cube (2 watts only). If it were stolen or lost, I guess I would try out another amp with a more aggresive distortion. It is a greatamp and that is my only regret. // 9

Features: This amp was made in 2003. I play a lot of styles from jazz, to rock, to metal, and anything in between! This amp has four channels, acoustic simulator (re-creates guitar to give it a shimmering acoustic sound, with a scoop switch that scoops the mids to make it sounds like a jumbo-bodied acoustic), classic Marshall clean, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2. OD1 is used more for classic rock, and OD2 sounds thicker, heavier and is better for metal. Both have scoop switches. It has EQ (low, mid, high) for both overdrive channels, and a seperate EQ for the clean and acoustic channel. I frequently gig and practice with my rock and jazz bands using this amp, and it has plenty of power! After all, 150 watts delivers a fair bit of kick! This is the valvestate version, meaning it is running an el34 tube for the preamp section. // 10

Sound: I use my Gibson Les Paul with this amp, and it compliments it superbly. This is great for my style of music (mostly rock). It is not a noisy amp, even when running the two fans to keep it from overheating when cranked! Massive variety of sounds, has 16 digital effects, all footswitchable. Being a half valve amp, the harder you Drive it, the more pronounced and better the sound is! I have driven it very hard, up to about 7 on the master and it does not even come close to distorting. Very brutal distortion, especially OD2 on high gain. // 10

Reliability & Durability: Owned it for two and a half years, never had an issue with this amp. Played around 100 gigs with this, each and every one without back up. This amp is sturdy, obviously if banged around hard enough, it would break, but hey, what amp wouldn't? Getting a road case built for my it, just for cosmetic and re-sale value! // 10

Impression: As I've stated, I play rock and this amp is great for it. I have played for ten years, and this is the nicest amp I have owned to date! The only let down is the fact it doesnt have EQ for every channel, but you can't have everything and it would have only added to it's already fairly hefty weight! If it were stolen/lost, I would hunt down the criminal and break their legs, and take my amp back. Probably buy another Marshall, maybe not this one but a JCM2000 with a quad box or two. // 10

Features: I'm not sure what year it was made in. It's the perfect amp for the style of music I play. I play alot of rock and "pop/rock" if you will. It's got 4 channels. Acoustic simulator, clean, od1 and od2. It has 16 different effects that all sound great. There are no features on this amp that I dont use. I use this amp for small gigs and practicing both with my band and at home in my room. It's got 150 watts so its definately powerful enough. And for those who don't think its loud enough you have to turn up the master volume, then it will get alot louder. The AVT series are a hybrid amp so it has the warmth of a tube amp and the reliability of a solid-state. // 10

Sound: I am using a Gibson Les Paul with the stock pickups and it sounds great! As I said before it fits my style perfectly! It definately puts out enough volume to use at small gigs either inside at a bar or outside at your local park. The clean channel stays clean at all levels of volume and the distortion is awesome! This amp will knock your socks off! // 10

Reliability & Durability: I definately can depend on it. I use this amp for every gig without a backup amp handy. It has never let me down and I dont think it will ever. I could throw this off the roof of a building and it would still work fine. (exaggeration, please do not do this to any of your belongings). // 10

Impression: I have been playing guitar for about 5 years now, give or take. I own a Gibson Les Paul Standard and am looking to buy a Fender Tornado for a second guitar. I upgraded from a Marshall AVT20 to this amp and I am very pleased. If it were stolen I would call the cops and hopefully find the dick that stole it and if it were lost how the hell would I lose this thing? It's a freakin amp! I love the distortion and the clean channels and I love all of the effects! I do not hate anything about this amp. At first I was thinking about buying a Marshall MG100HDFX but then somebody talked me out of it and I decided to save up a bit more and go for this baby. I am so glad I didn't get the mg! // 10

Features: I believe this amp model is withint he 5-10 year old range. I've only had this amp itself for a couple months now. Who knows how long it was sitting on the shelves. This amp has an okay selection of tones. It fits everything from the early 50's elvis - 60's beatles - 80's everything and has an okay grunge tone. Don't get me wrong, the tones and distortions are great. But it only has two types of distortion. That's most than most amps have but not as much as I'm used to. It has 4 channels (clean, acoustic, overdrive, and overdrive 2) It comes with a floor switch that has the effects swtich on it. It has 2-16 effect boards built in effects. The clean and acoustic share one board and the distorted channels share the other. It also has an effect loop, headphone jack and extension cab jack. The 4 channels are great for playing when you don't want all the fancy equipment and tons of chords. The clean and overdrive one channels are ones i don't use but that's just me. I don't think that they have enough of what they need, i'm not sure what that is, but they need more of it. I think it's channels are great the way they are though. The solid state 150 watts this baby has is plenty enough to get you by. It doesn't quite seem like 150 watts though. I find my self putting it up to 5 to match my drummer, but I think I might be doing something wrong. // 10

Sound: I use an Ibanez RG321 and an Austin ERA special through it and the sound is great. With the humbuckers and the OD2 channel the distortion's nice and warm and dirty. But switch to the double single coils and put it on the acoustic channel and you've got a nice smooth acoustic guitar, that in my opinion sounds better than an actual acoustic. It's so big that it has a computer fan and the fan gets kind of noisy sometimes. The feedback and fuzz on it gets in the way and is annoying sometimes, but it can add a little flavor. It's good for grunge and older rock. Acoustic songs are great too. It's not too good for heavy metal, but it'll do. It has a massice selection of effects that I've never seen with any other amp. The 16 effects wan be adjusted in mix, level, amount, and the effect itself. At hig volumes everything mushes together if your within several feet of it, but what amp doesn't do that? At high volumes it picks up all the screeches of your hand sliding and all of the note switches and every little noise, but if you need it that loud go to a docter. The disortion is brutal enough. If you need a sound of it, listen to "Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground" by The White Stripes, or perhaps any distorted song on the "White Blood Cells" cd. That is almost the exact distortion. I wouldn't doubt that Jack White himslef uses this amp. // 10

Reliability & Durability: The cap on one of the knobs fell off when I was moving it (I have to move it almost everyday, I'm in 4 bands) but that's it! everyonce in a while it starts to get noisy and sounds like something's wrong but it stops after a half hour and everything is normal. I would completely depend on this for a show, I would depend on it for a house, this thing is rock solid. // 10

Impression: I play more of a grunge and heavy metal type if music. It's good with the grunge but not heavy enough with the metal. But if you set it on acoustic and mix in a GNX 1 you have some serious heavy metal that rocks like a mother fucker. I've been playing for a year and a half and I haven't seen anything this great, Marshall is the greatest amp company. I own a Marshall G15MS and a bunch of miny practice amps but none sound as great as this. The 3 guitars I own sound great through this and I have to check it's me that's playing because the sound is so unbelievable. The only thing that I regret is that I bought the 150. I could of got the 100, or even 50, and saved a bunch of money. This amp is great. If it got stolen I would buy have to wait and buy something else, the AVT 150 head and slant cab. I'm more of a stack person. The channel switch is great and each tone is sweet. The effects are unbelieveable considering they came with it. There is no such thing as silent playing, the speaker still ommits sound when the headphones are plugged in, but who thought of playing quiet when you buy this much power? I just wish it wasn't so heavy. // 10

Features: This amp has 150 watts of solid state, 2 distortion channels, a clean channel and an acoustic simulator channel. (Mine broke and decided to only let me use the second distortion channel though). None of the distortion channels are very useable though, so I used a pedal for distortion. Apparently the tube in the preamp section gives it the tonal qualitys of a tube amp. I noticed no difference between this and a Marshall MG (that might have been because I was using a distortion pedal though, since the preamp does distortion). It has an effects loop which I never used and a headphone jack (which doesn't bypass the amps speakers). I play in a punk/metal band and a 'The Who' tribute band. I used this amp for playing gigs with a loud drummer. // 6

Sound: I used a Jackson DK2M Dinky with this amp, with a Zoom G1X pedal. This amp sounds terrible for the heavy styles of music being played through it, the rhythm guitarist for my band uses this amp now. This amp does not cut through. I had the Mids on 10 and then boosted the mids heavily with an eq to hear my guitar okay, if you don't it sounds like a fizzy fizzle fizzing a fizzamfz (just ask my R. guitarist). On the other hand, this amp sounds quite good in my 'The Who' tribute band with an OD instead of distortion. This could be because of a drummer Who does not bash his drums so hard it vibrates all the other drums and creates a load of noise. I never had a problem with this amp making background noise, but this could be due to a minimal number of pedals. // 2

Reliability & Durability: The handle has broken, and the channel selector has broken. Some of the pots fell off and recently, the input jack broke when the other guitarist was using it. Not the most dependable of amps, but it has never just 'stopped working' apart from the time I had to tighten the input jack. // 3

Impression: I've been playing for 3 years, and the amp I've replaced this with is a Randall RG50TC. I bought this because my guitar teacher was selling it for £100, and I didn't know better; it's a Marshall! I didn't stop to think why he was selling it. He got a 'Nice Tube Combo' and a year later I'm doing the same. Back when I was still using it, I would have been happy if it was stolen, because I would have to get a better amp! I did not try any other amps when I got this amp. The only other amps I used before this was a Zoom fire-30 and a Squire SP-10. // 3

Can't get a sharp, edgy sound for leadguitar out of this amp. High H and ( even more ) E string sound weak.
Would an Overdrive or distortion pedal help ?
Otherwise I'm happy with the amp; love it's versatility

[scottish nutter]

my amp broke aftre 5 days, i couldnt select any of the channels, worse of all it could take up to 6 weeks to either get it fixed or get a new one, which i find a joke because i payed the money there and then and no one had to wait 6 weeks for payment

[xisco_xisco]

i just bough this amp, and im kinda confused, because i was jamming with my band and it just didn't sound like it was 150W i was playing almost on maximum volume and the drums were playin louder, the other guitarist has a roland cube 60, and with the volume on 1/4 was playin louder than me, i just thing that is something wrong with it :s any hint on what may be?(sorry for my english,im portuguese:p)

[sumatrasavage]

Xisco, the amp has an output of 150 Watt at 4 ohm. - The built-in speaker has 8 ohm, so the amp without as one buys it in the shop delivers just half the power.
Maybe You can get the additional AVT 112 box - connected parallel to the bulit-in speker this results in 4 ohm total - then You should have the full power of 150 watts and if Your amp still can't cope with the drums or the roland 60 cube, there must be something wrong. -
Without any attached speaker, true, the AVT 150 is not a very loud amp.

[garylad93]

well Xisco, your drummer must be very loud, which is very annoying. try messing around with the gain and volume on OD2, its better for metal. and have the master volume at like 7 or 8 and that should do it, and stand a few metres away to avoid any feedback. if that doesnt work, then their must be something wrong with your amp, or u shud fire ur drummer. its honestly a better amp than the roland cube 60, and dont use any effects apart from wah, as u wont need them on volume that high, it will just cause very very very bad feedback and could probly **** up the electronics in the amp.

[sword shredder]

Xisco, maybe try switching the cables into the effects loop?

[sword shredder]

Actually, I changed my mind. feed it to your dog.

[goldie87]

i had this amp for about a 3 years before i upgraded to a much louder tube amp! dont wanna bag the amp but its really just a solid state amp with a shitty little pre amp valve! i changed the valve in mine though sounded kinda better! it really is a awesome amp for the price and versitilty but i got bored of it really quick! now it sits in my room as my practice amp!

you have to plug out the amp cord in the back of the amp and plug in the headphones if you want to hear the amp trough the headphones only...

[mike.p1991]

Why is it always people who have been playing guitar for around like a year or 2, the ones writing the reviews? I'm not trying to knock anybody, but to know a truely good amp you have to of gone round the block a few times surely. I own this amp and to be honest I was slightly let down. It was advertised like a damn Behringer amp would be, advertiseing 150 watts but it deeeeeffinatly doesnt deliver it, and also the OD1 and OD2 sound very similar unless the gain on OD1 is turned down.

Thought i would answer this. No you dont lol. All you have to do is turn the volume down on your amp. The volume control on your guitar controls the volume of the headphones, I don't have a ****in clue how... But it does.
