One pre-amp tube, and all transistor for the rest.... yup, still a transistor amp in my book... no matter what Marshall says, especially since the power stage is completely solid state. I hate it when companies try fooling their customers into buying an amp by marketing them with fancy names like "valvestate" ot "hybrid tube technology"...

I definitely was wrong in my calculation from pounds to dollar, how embarrassing... But just because 300 pounds gives you 600 dollars doesn't mean you can buy a 600 dollar amp in the UK for 300 pounds. :rolleyes:
