From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting one of our
Valvestate 2000 AVT amplifiers.
Ever since its initial launch in the early 1990's, the original
Marshall Valvestate technology received worldwide acclaim and set a
new standard in affordable quality amplification. However, my
dedicated team of designers are constantly looking for methods to
make our amplifiers sound even better. As they are all guitar players
themselves this process has become a passion within the design
department.
As the name Advanced Valvestate Technology (AVT) suggests,
your new amplifier benefits from their research and utilises their
latest circuit innovations, all of which are totally unique to Marshall.
By emulating the feel and response of an all-valve amplifier even
more closely, the new AVT range perform brilliantly and represent
yet another major step forward in guitar sound technology.
I suggest that you read this manual thoroughly before operating
your new amplifier and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
This will help you to derive maximum enjoyment from our Advanced
Valvestate Technology.
Wishing you every success.
Yours Sincerely,
1
