Has anyone past or present used a Marshall ValveState 2000? More specifically the AVT50 combo. I have had this one since 2004ish, no later than 2005. It has a clean channel and a dirty channel. On the dirty side, it adds Mids and Reverb. Plus headphone out and DVD in. On the rear it has FX send and retutn, foot pedal jack and Emulated DI out.
I get about the same results out of this as a physical amp as the MCM800 plugin from Ampire in Studio One. It is 50 watts and in my small room I can not turn vol much past 9 o'clock and gain close to the same. The controls do not have numbers, so I just go from full off to a comfortable level, both for my ears and slightly dirty on that channel.
It has been dependable and for the most part trouble free. Last fall I had a few capacitors replaced and multiple solder joints re-done. One cooling fan replacement. That is a fairly decent track record I would say.
If you have one or the higher output AVT100 combo or head/cab let me know your mileage.
