Beschrijving

If you have heard that 50 watts of solid-state power is not loud enough to gig with, listen again. The AVT50’s 2, footswitchable channels deliver glistening clean tones and a roaring crunch that just oozes vintage authenticity. Crank the Overdrive channel’s Gain control to the max and you have a contemporary high gain sound that packs an unbelievable punch, staying tight and focused thanks to the carefully designed closed back cabinet. In combination with the ECC83 pre-amp valve, this amplifier will deliver from bedroom to stage without compromise.

In Marshall’s quest to give players the ultimate tone at a realistic price, they have combined the latest innovations in valve, solid state, and digital technologies to achieve optimum sonic performance. AVT has evolved from their original, critically acclaimed Marshall Valvestate technology, but is vastly improved so it emulates the tone, feel, and response of their world-renowned, all-valve amplifiers with unerring accuracyá without using valves in the power stage.

Marshall’s long history and experience in the field of valve amplification was utilized in the development of the new AVT power amp. This extremely responsive and warm-sounding circuitry was then coupled with the specially voiced, ECC83 (a.k.a 12AX7) valve-driven pre-amp section, to provide 100% valve/analog warmth from input to output. Combined with numerous user-friendly features, they believe to have created the best value-for-money range of Marshall amplifiers ever!

From the compact AVT20, right up to the thunderous roar of the feature packed, 4-channel AVT150H, each model in their brand new AVT line boasts a pre-amp stage that is driven by an ECC83 Dual Triode valve. Unlike certain other hybrid amps out there, this valve isn’t merely acting as a pilot light. Instead, it is playing the central role in the gain, distortion, and tone-generating circuitry. They have gone to great lengths to ensure that this precious device delivers maximum sonic benefit at all settings and volume levels. The resulting clean sounds ring with the bell-like harmonics that only a valve pre-amp can deliver and the break-up is never harsh or unnatural sounding. Whenever you select an AVT Overdrive channel, the ECC83 is saturated to its limit, providing dynamics and feel worthy of a place in the Marshall hall of fame.

The same, unrivalled design expertise that went into the pre-amp was also channeled into the design of the AVT power stage. Using frequency dependent power amp damping and their proprietary, dynamic clip level technology (which emulates the HT supply of a valve power amp), each AVT power stage creates the warm, musical feel, and 3-dimensional sounds that made Marshall’s all-valve power amps world-renowned.

Also all AVT products will deliver the goods in the often hostile and unpredictable environment of the live performance stage – which is why the AVT power amps of 50 watts and up are fan cooled for optimum reliability.
