Fantastic sound and tone right out of the box. I haven't had a chance to tweak it yet, but I have played with the 2 overdrives on each channel.
First off, this amp is LOUD, and wants to be turned up. The louder it goes, the better it sounds.
You CAN get a crystal clean tone, but you have to drop the gain to almost non-existent in order to do so. The overdrive, crunch, and rock tones are fantastic, so you likely won't need a pedal there unless you are looking to shape your tone more. The metal tone is solid, but I think it would really benefit from a good distortion pedal.
However, all of the above comments are after spending about 15 minutes with the amp, and leaving the EQ settings all at 12 o'clock, so I'm sure much better sounds can be tweaked out of this thing.
I went back and forth on the 5, 20, and 40 watt models but ultimately settled on this one because of the higher-end speaker and tubes.
If you can feed it a little volume without the neighbors showing up with pitchforks, I would definitely pick this amp up if you're debating it.
Amp arrived on time, and what looks to be brand new; something I haven't always seen lately. Thumbs up to Marshall, and thumbs up to the seller on this one. I couldn't be happier with my first Marshall.

Best Tube Amp For Under $1000
Great clean tone, classic Marshall tube overdrive. Sounds great with single coil, humbucker and p90 pick-up guitars. The FX loop is perfect to separate any timing pedals (echo, delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, volume, etc.) from drive pedals (overdrive, boost, compression and chromatic pedals). The foot switch that comes with the amp switches from clean to overdrive and the other switch turns on and off the FX loop. There are secondary (channel A/B) clean and overdrive settings on the amp and would require an upgraded foot switch to operate. I wish the upgraded pedal came with the amp to operate all of the amps feature but considering the overall great cost for this amp, I’m not going to complain.

I have two of these amps that I run through an AB/Y splitter. These are much louder than you would expect from a 40w amp. Gorgeous tone as expected from Marshall, and with some tweaking, can get crunchy and heavy. I've played everything from a Les Paul, SG, Snakebyte, PRS, and Strats through them and have not been disappointed. Clean or distorted, these are well worth the money.
