AVT150H Review

manufacturer: marshall date: 05/07/2008 category: guitar amplifiers
AVT150H
The AVT150H is the head version of the AVT150 and boasts all the same features and facilities as its combo brother. This includes the excellent "Scoop" facility. On OD1 this radically scoops the mid frequencies whilst tightening the bass for aggressive driving rhythm sounds. On OD2 the middle is again dipped, but a cut in the upper frequencies smoothes out the sound for a more bass heavy (nu-) metal selection.

Price paid: 893.04

Purchased from: Gak.co.uk

Features: The price stated includes an accompanying 4x12AX cabinet. It is a large ol' bugger with four channels. These are acoustic simulator, clean, OD1 and OD2. It has an effects loop, headphone socket, Twin connections for different ohm outputs (using 1 or 2 cabs) and 16 different effects. It also has a master volume and presence as well as different switches for each channel, but I'll talk about them in the sounds section. // 10

Sound: I use an Ibanez RG350DX with it which has an H/S/H pickup set-up. These sound pretty fruity through the amp, though the acoustic sim. needs the single coil to sound true. The switches I was talking about earlier include a body switch for the ac. sim. which changes from regular ac. to dreadnought sounds. On the clean channel it has a brightness switch, so you can add more clarity to your sound. The two OD (overdrive) channels have a mid scoop switch, which unbelievably scoops the mids even further. There is an EQ for the two clean channels, and the two OD channels, but with the switches, it means the two OD channels have independent mids. The two OD channels are very different from each other, with OD1 going from blues to that of Extreme on their earlier albums. OD2 with a DigiTech Bad Monkey in front of it sounds like Trivium/metallica etc, but on its own, using a neck humbucker sounds like Steve Vai's 'For The Love Of God'. The clean will stay clean unless you apply gain with the gain knob, but it is obviously distinctly quieter. You can level it all out by adjusting the master volume, but sometimes you have to give in and have a dire straits style clean. The only extraneous noise comes from the fan, which is only noticeable if you stop playing entirely and listen for it, and the hum if you use lots of pedals from the same mains, with excess lights on etc. nothing a noise suppressor can't sort out. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This amp is built like a house, and weighs about just as much. It's not easy to lug around, hence why I wouldn't bother using a backup anyway, but it is not going to die on you. It is valve state, but it uses emulating technology so there is only one or two in their, and the fan is so cool they are not going to blow for years. // 10

Impression: I play anything from Extreme to Vai and Satch, from Metallica to Eric Clapton. This amp has it all. I have only been playing two years, but I never put my guitar down, and this amp sounds excellent for slow melodic solos, legato, shred, pinched harmonic squeals and the occasional sweep. Putting the gain up in the clean gives an excellent funk, and with all the effects, you can accentuate your sound for any style. I know I have put 10 for every section, but if you were to buy it, you would not be disappointed. If it was stolen I would not only find it and drop on the bugger that stole it, but buy another, cheat the insurance company and buy another cabinet and loads of boutique fx. only kidding. I would buy it again though. // 10

Price paid: 450

Purchased from: ebay

Features: This AVT150H was made in 2002. It is very vesatile in all styles of music. I play classic rock like Hendrix, Zepplin, AC/DC, Skynyrd. I also play blues and it sounds great for stuff like Clapton. It has 4 footswitchable channels - OD1, OD2, acoustic sim., clean. I use this amp with my band and if I want it to, it can completly block out the drums, bass and everything. It is loud. It has one preamp tube, stereo, 16 effects. The effects aren't that good because they're all different types of reverb except for flange and acouple others. They are adjustible on all 4 channels. // 10

Sound: This amp head is hooked up to my 1960A cabinet. I mostly play it with my strat which has 3 noisless single coils and it sounds awesome. The only problem is that it picks up every little sound with your playing on the OD's (mutes, string touching). The clean channel only gets distorted if you adjust it so it does. The distortion on OD2 is like death metal. OD1 is more like Hendrix, AC/DC. Acoustic sim. sounds so awesome, it's like a real acoustic but that channel doesn't get very loud at all. I think it doesnt get loud because it is the only channel on this amp that isnt tube driven. It is about as loud as a 60 watt solidstate combo. All the other channels are loud as crap. // 8

Reliability & Durability: You can definitly depend on this amp its a Marshall. It has never broken down but I've only had it for 1/2 a year. // 10

Impression: I play classic rock and this head is a great match. I have been playing for 9 years with 5 hours a day practice session. I own an American Deluxe Ash Strat, a Gibson SG Standard, Epi Les Paul Standard and many others. If this amp was stolen or lost (how could you lose a head), I would probraly save up for a fully tube amp like a TSL100. I love everything about this amp except how quiet the acous. sim. is. My favorite feature is the 4 channels. Before I bought it, I wanted a Marshall so I compared it to a MG100 and it totaly beat it. I recomend this amp to anyone who wants a great sounding, affordable amp. Also, if you do get this head, I reccomend gettin the Marshall 1960 Cabinet because it sounds and looks better then those shitty little AVT cabs. I got a 2003 1960 cab for $420 bucks so thier not that expensive. // 9

Purchased from: Soundslive.com

Features: This amp was made in 2007 as I can tell from the serial number on the back of the head. It has 4 channels, acoustic simulator with a never use it's a poor show but I don't really care, I didn't buy it for that, Clean channel, this rocks you can have clean clean or push the gain up and have a crunch valve style clean. Overdrive 1, this is the channel I always use it has a very Vintage but also modern sound to it, it has a scoop facility to scoop the midrange which I don't really use. Overdrive 2, this is also barely use this is an extreme heavy metal style overdrive. It has 13 onboard effects which have been used by me quite a bit they make for good interesting song writing. on the back of the head is there is a an FX send and return, a headphone jack and two plug for cabs. the footswitich has 6 buttons, 1 for each channel and 2 fx switichs for clean FX and OD FX. This is amp is loud for any gig I can think of and the tone can be set perfectly for anyone. // 10

Sound: I have a Epiphone Les Paul Custom with 3 epi humbuckers. I plug a lot of rock pop/punk power rock and I play guitar in a power trio and it sounds perfect this sort of stuff. The tone is a little tricky to set can be set perfect for anyone and it's very loud, the OD is brilliant it sounds clear and crisp and can be soft OD or roaring OD and everyhting in between. The clean channel does not distort at high volumes as it have a volume and a gain control for the clean channel. // 10

Reliability & Durability: I can and have depended it on it. I play my a gig with it yesterday for the first time and the tone was perfect and also it didn't really feedback much. Through the day it was used by a lot of bands as the other guys preferrrd to use mine over the MG series amps and there Fender amps they say it's much better. It was turned on for almost 5 hours straight and it didn't break down or go wrong in any way it was also very moveable the weight balance seems perfect so if you lack muscle buy this amp as it's not a struggle to move. I also dropped the cab and it lived. // 10

Impression: This amp is a perfect match for every style of music it's not too heavy is very loud and doesn't buzz, has great tone, doesnt't make wierd sctraty noises, withstand all say abuse for loads of great band I own a Marshall VS230 and an Orange crush and this is my favourite amp I'm glad I bought it and stand by my choice. If it were stolen I would buy it again definatly by I would try others aswell but after the gig I have fallen in love with it. // 10

Price paid: 805.2

Purchased from: gak.co.uk

Features: I think this amp was made sometime around 2002, but don't quote me on that, I'm not sure. It's a hefty bugger, with 4 channels that you can Switch between via the footswitch (acoustic sim., clean, OD1, OD2), and because of this, it's a very versatile amp. I normally play metal, punk, hardcore and all that sort of stuff, but when I wanna get m'funk on, this amp copes well with that too. It's a valvestate, meaning that the preamp section is powered by one KT66, and the actual amp section is solidstate. // 9

Sound: I use a Schecter C-1 Elite with the standard Duncan Designed HB pickups. As I previously said, it can cope with the variety of styles that I play, however, to me, it sounds only slightly warmer than a solidstate. The good thing about having a valavestate amp, is that yoiu get some of the warmth you'd expect from valves, and when you stop playing, the amp stops making noise.The only noise audible is that of the fan, and a bit of hum of you use loads of effects. // 7

Reliability & Durability: I suppose I could depend on it, I've played it at very high volumes for extended periods of time, and it's fine. I've had it for a little under a year, and had no problems.I'd gig it without a backup(Mainly cos I can't afford a backup, but also cos it's reliable). // 10

Impression: My overall impression of the amp is that, for my style of playing and my budget, this amp's great.It's the best amp I've owned, although not the best amp ouut there. If it were a better guitarist with more money, I'd suggest you go buy a fully tube head like a DSl100 or a rectifier or something, but like I say, I can't afford ahit like that. If it were stolen I wouldn't buy another the same, but I'd say that about any of my gear, I'm always looking for an excuse to buy better stuff. // 8

Purchased from: Some dude

Features: My AVT150H was made in 2005 and is pretty versatile for the price, really. I play mostly punk-rock, metal and alternative, but my style changes like the weather. As most of you know, this amp has 4 channels. Acoustic, clean, overdrive 1 and overdrive 2. The two overdrives are basically the same, except OD2 is more deep and more metal sounding with deeper mids. It's 8ohms and can definitely deal some volume. It's a valvestate so it's not gonna be as intense as a full tube amp but the tube preamp does help with volume and tone, you can notice a big difference from a regular solid state amp. This is also has a bunch of effects like gated reverb, flange, chorus. These are really good for someone who isn't that much into effects and pedals and such and would like to try some out. They aren't the greatest but you get what you pay for right? But they are half decent. I personally like the gated reverb. I currently have it hooked up to my 1960A cab and it sounds awesome. I love playing it whenever I can. It has enough power for any gig you may be doing, it's also great since you will more flexibility for volume more than a tube amp where you turn it past like 2 and it kills your ears. // 9

Sound: My guitar that I am currently using is my Yamaha RGX121Z. I am just using the stock pickups, so with a pair of SD's this amp would sound even better. For the most part, the acoustic sim probably wont be what you are buying this amp for and if it is PLEASE look elsewhere, you will be disappointed. Not to mention it's soo damn quiet. It isn't horrible but it is seriously lacking. The clean channel is alright could be better but it's still good. Still great for using pedals on of course which I do with my Boss SD-1 and it's fine. The overdrive channels however, are actually really good. Both will be loved by you, since if you want metal you have metal on OD2 if you want balls to the wall rock OD1 will do it for you and if you need to scoop the mids hit the button. Great sound. // 8

Reliability & Durability: Well I really haven't had much problems, lets see, the fan is kinda loud but this thing is like a tank. I've only giged with it once but I would gig w/o a backup. It's pretty heavy too, so don't worry about anyone running away too fast with it. You would be able to catch up and beat him over the head with this lead weight. Great Marshall quality. // 10

Impression: Well, it's really not a bad amp for the price. I highly recommend it to someone trying to get into the music scene/rock scene as it will do w/e you need it to. If it was stolen/lost I would upgrade to something a bit higher in quality like the DSL50 just because I'm outgrowing this one but it's still an amazing amp for the price. I have to say I love the OD channels since that what I use pretty much 95% of the time. If there was one thing I could wish for would be that this amp's acoustic sim would sound more authentic and louder it's too damn quiet. // 8

i have one and i personally think its a piece of shit its buzzy fuzzy and has terable distortion the cleans ok but not spectacular and for some reason the clean channel goes way louder than any other channel what were marshall thinking when they released this how someone can give it a ten for sound ill never know its so shit it put me off marshall for life i cant wait to get rid of it yuck hibrid hunk of crap descusting i much prefare my line 6 spider it cost me half the price and its a far better amp

If this amp is as bad as 'Captain Face' says it is then why did he buy it when he already had a Line6 Spider? Always try an amp before you buy it. Like all of the AVT range this amp is immense and is well worth the money! Overall quality 10/10.

ibanezfreak1127 :
Well I haven?t had my Marshall for that long but I love it. I got it off my brother when he stopped playing. I figured out how to use it pretty quick though. The only reason the acoustic sim was crappy for me was because I wasn?t using a single pickup. It?s got to be single or else it?ll get scratchy on strumming. And I'm not perfectly sure about this but I think the clean is louder because of effects. When I run my effects box through it I don?t get enough effect unless the volume is turned up. If I had my choice of guitar amps though I would choose this one over any other and I?m glad I have it

I bought my AVT150H new from a marshall dealer in Swindon UK.Without doubt,this have been the worst amp i have evr owned,in terms of sound and reliability.This is paired to the reccommended angled valve state cab,as i gig with it as a half stack,playing Gibson Sg and les paul models throu it.Firstly the amp is prone to blowing the pre amp section (4 times) covered twice under marshall warranty,excluding P+P at £25.00 a go.Makes me reluctant to rely on it.
Secondly,Accoustic sim and clean channels totally drown the overdriven channels,unless overdriven gain is wound right back off,this is even worse using the scoop functions on each o/d channel.On one trip to the repair shop,the dealer lent me a MG100HDFX. In terms of outright power,the Mg blows this away.
Thirdly the onboard effects,with exception of delay,are so poor they are unuseable. So what really should have been the answer to getting rid of a heap of pedals,is just another gimmick.If you play in your bedroom,you may be pleased with this amp.If you play in big venues week in and week out.Buy a mesa and bag of boss pedals.Someone is probly gonna say i didnt spend enough time playing with the EQ. But this thing is impossible to get anywhere even close to a nice sound on od1/od2 and it really has no guts.V. Dissapointed

Runningonempty3 :
would anyone recomend this amp for someone who plays smallish venues (from 90 to 300 people)and plays mainly Metal with some lighter Rock inbetween? I need a new amp and i want 100W or over and not too expensive. this seems one up near the top of the list. or does anyone have any better suggestions for a similar price? Thanks!
POSTED: 11/28/2006 - 04:20 pm / quote |
s1yfa :
runningonempty - simple answer. yes! this amp rocks. twin it up with an AVT412 cab (or two : ) and your rocking. the cabs are rated 200w, so your gonna have plenty of sound for the sort of venues your playing.

and captain face - what line6 you got? if its anything below a spider II 112 then we all know that you obviously have no idea what your on about. In fact, i think the lin6 spiders are worse than the AVT's. Vettas though are whole different story...

TheStrat :
I bought one, together with a 1960A Cabinet. Before that I owned a MG100HFX. That one also sounds great, it's just that I needed the ability to change OD channels for Rythm and Solo purposes.
For me it's important that it gives me the wide variety in sounds that I need playing in a coverband. It's mainly Rock and a bit of Blues, Funk and Pop.
When I tried it, for above mentioned reasons, I really liked the sound of it.
Therefore, I don't understand these comments from people like it is crap, and "a piece of shit" (captain face).. these comments state more about the person than the Amp ;... why the hell did you buy one ?????
It's all about being objective, if you don't like the sound, fine..... but there might be a chance that it's not the amp's fault ?

yep you can..... just as long as:
- you DON'T turn the combo on while using is as a cab
- the fender must have a speaker cable on it. if not, theres no way of connecting the two.

Definitely interested in getting a half-stack next & this looks like a batter idea than an MG - I'm not a fan of the contour control on the MG50 I've got at the mo, would rather just have that mid control... Will try 1 out before I consider it though, I need to just start trialling out amps, I never thought it was possible, as they always leave just 1 plugged in! *quite embarrassed with that*... Guess half the time I'm not about trying out guitars because I feel a little under the grill, so it's a similar thing with amps.
ThinLizzy_Rocks, looking at the prices, I'd guess India like with the MG's. if it was made in England, there'd be an extra 100 or so to cover the higher labour costs, haha Even if Milton Keynes isn't exactly the finest place to call home.

i havent used mine for along time, went to my mates the other day and used in band practise and the shound was shit, i use my laptop to model my sounds and use the peavy amps at college, and basically, it sounds to digital? it doesnt sound very good at all, and sounds too tinny. I cant find a decent settin on the EQ unless i wana play pantera, and basicaly, i dont listen to thrash anymore lets say that. the quality of sound you get is poor. but i might need a better cab. im gona sell it and buy a combo, i dont need a half stack. and when u gig they just mic it up to the PA anyway, its not like im playin wembly.

Wtf guys...get neither of em! AVT is basically a MG head with a preamptube in it and makes almost no tonal difference. Seriously you can get a valveking stack for less money than the goddamn MG100+Marshall cab! VK owns the shit out of them both! Its full tube and peavey always makes great amps.

I had one. It is heavy head and in all honesty - your paying for a name here. I sold it and got a Crate power block (both non valve heads) and it is a much better and weighs a darn sight less. Stick to valve heads Marshall - that is what you are good at.

CS~Jager :
I've owned this head for 2 years. Bought it as a quick fix to replace my stage head that burned out. If you are playing in your room or just playing with some friends its not a bad amp. However, after my first live show with this amp i immediately went out and bought a Mesa Triple Rec.

I still use this amp at my bands practice house just so i dont have to haul the Mesa back and forth. As someone mentioned earlier the volume differences are terrible, the acoustic simulator works great as long as you are only using a single pickup

axeman_scott88 :
what is the difference between the avt 150 and the avt50?

Yeah, the 150 has more powere and channels. I own the 50, and am quite happy with it, but the 150 is good if you like relying on amp channels. All preference I suppose. Honestly, I've always liked my 50's tone more than the 150's, and i would say that if you are on a budget, get either. Otherwise maybe get a nice marshall or mesa or something.

Thius amp sucks SOOOOO bad.

If you want a good Marshall, save up and get a JVM410H.

maybe the description of it getting "nu-metal" is like a hidden sign of saying "its gonna sound like total shit"

This is probably the best marshall solid state there is. I dont have one but i did try it out once. It is very good for recording, but i still say go for tube.

...Are you dissing bands like Dragonforce? I dont care if you are...Dragonforce is rediculous, but it doesnt mean this is a bad amp.
