Marshall AVT 2000

[James Darcy]

I've bought a used marshall avt 150H 2000 and have some questions. I'm just seeing if anyone out there is knowledgeable about said amplifier?

I only have experience with the AVT 50H. Use to jam with one through a Marshall 4x10 and it was wicked.

I had an avt 275 for a few years.

What's up?

I use an AVT20 (through a 4x12) as a practice amp. They are surprisingly good sounding amps!

The only reliability issue is the fan on the bigger models. The fans are somewhat unreliable and if they fail the amp's output transistors can overheat and be damaged. Even when the amp is running at moderate volumes.

They're easy and inexpensive to replace if they fail. Sometimes they can start working again with a fairly simple partial disassembly, cleaning, and lubrication.

My only experience with the AVT line has been the AVT50H, that I ran through a avt cab an MG cabs .. my favorite way of playing them was in a full stack of cabs
Volume dimed and gain for level, with a loud drummer, but it also played well with low volume’s. I have since sold both of them..

Cheers

I'm having trouble with the FX loop or my signal chain in general. Are things a bit different with a valvestate?

Are problems with the FX Loop a reoccurring issue?

Another trick I read here on the forum was to unplug the reverb tank and the reverb pot was supposed to act like a presence control, but I never really heard a difference.
I will search for a pic and bring it of the full stack configuration
