Marshall AVT Series capture the sound and feel of a Marshall valve amplifier by using solid state Advanced Valvestate Technology.
Marshall started making the acclaimed Valvestate amplifiers in the early '90s and then updated
the original range to the VS II line in 1996. The original intention with Valvestate was
simple: to capture the sound and feel of a Marshall valve amplifier by using solid state
technology. Marshall knew it could make unique and highly desirable tones more affordable and thus more available to many more guitar players. The first two generations of Valvestate both achieved these goals and have become firm favourites with guitar players the world over. Now, Marshall have once again redefined what guitarists can expect from affordable backline amplification. Utilising all the knowledge and experience gained over the years, we proudly bring you - the AVT Series.
In this latest generation, not only will you find more, guitarist-friendly features, but more valve-like tone and feel. As with all Marshall amplifiers, the design started with a clean slate - relying
totally on our experience, skill and tonal history. As all our designers are guitarists in addition to being
exceptional engineers, feel and tone were an absolute priority from the beginning. In short our goal was to make these amps enjoyable and addictive!
In each of the Valvestate range, all the preamp stages are equipped with an ECC83
Dual Triode valve. Marshall have gone to great lengths to ensure that this precious device delivers maximum sonic benefit at all settings and volume levels. As a result, even the AVT clean sounds ring with the bell like harmonics that only a valve pre-amp can deliver. On the Overdrive channels the ECC83's dual triodes are saturated to their limit, providing the dynamics and feel worthy of a place in the Marshall hall of fame. The same sort of toneful care and attention was focused on the all-important power stage of each amp too. Once again we wanted to ensure that they delivered the warm, musical feel and 3-dimensional sounds that have made our all valve power-amps world-renowned. Marshall have a new name for the technology used; AVT - Advanced Valvestate Technology.
As is the case with the entire AVT range, the loudspeakers used are all custom built by Celestion and have been specifically designed to fully complement and augment the range of sounds generated by our Advanced Valvestate Technology.
Digital Village is now able to take orders for the full range of the AVT Series guitar amplifiers from Marshall Amps, the Marshall AVT Series.
