New series, a 15W and 40W coming in May. Tube amps with digital effects. Looks interesting I could have wished for a line out on the 15W model though.
There are video demos in the theater

It's definitely interesting. Not what I was expecting from Marshall, but I definitely see some logic there and the direction they are going. Don't like the word "Haze", but we'll see, perhaps they made some quality stuff this time..

It seems as if Marshall finally started to establish its own market of low-wattage tube amps. Gonna be interesting But I don't like their effects (especially the ones in MG combos, not even in the ones 50W<). If my local stores gets one of those, I'll definitely try it...

Just to add - I like the concept of that 40W combo. It's a nice gigging amp concept, and if there is a proper footswitch it will be cool for every week gig use. They FINALLY made a carrying handle the same as on VS series, which is the best carrying handle they used ever.

I'm kind of interested in the 40W combo myself... I just have to find a purpose for it since I already have an amp for rehearsal and gigs... but maybe I could use a backup
Sounds very Marshally, as expected. Very much a rock n roll amp. I love the sound of it now after I listened to the demo through my hi-fi. I want it!!!

This seems very interesting!! I loved how it sounds in the demo...Will try to hear it in person when it hits the stores here.

Hehe, know what you mean
I still have a feeling that Vintage Modern is "just a bit" better then this, but it's just a feeling for now.. I hope I'm wrong

Mini stacks are cool but i guess they will overprice it...

The 15W head 555 Euro, The 40 W combo 666 Euro.
The matching 1x12 cab for the head is 184 Euro.
Not bad imo.

These are very good prices. Cheap all tube amps for regular gigging. I'm sure they will be popular.
