Sorry, but Marshall makes HORRIBLE tube ampifiers. They're all mass produced, cheapest-grade-they-can-find, junk.
There are a couple of companies that make modifciation boards for Marshalls, but you take out the old one and throw it completely away.
Marshalls use diodes for distortion, like a cheap $20 pedal.
The only thing you get when you buy a Marshall is the Marshall name.
Their last good amp was made over 25 years ago. They haven't point-to-point wired since the early 70's. The 800's are okay, but only reallly good unless you mod the hell out of them.
Anything else isn't worth the money, IMO.
Spend the money on a Bogner or Soldano. You won't regret it, and your tone will be 100x better.
