Well, to be fair I do like the Marshall for what it does well, which is what's in the Les Paul clip above - it sounds very like an old Marshall in the way it's meant to, which is getting that sort of sound in a smaller package. Where I think it falls down is headroom and dynamics in a band situation - not that surprising given the low-ish power, although still a bit frustrating as I've heard other 20W amps which don't do that as badly, not least the 2061... but that doesn't have a TMB tone stack so doesn't sound quite like a big Marshall either!
If you want it for sounding like Paul Kossoff with a Les Paul straight into it at home, in the studio or at a low-volume pub gig then I think it's great. If you want it to sound like Van Halen or stick heavy dirt or boost pedals in front then it doesn't work quite as well as the real thing.

I did find it worked well with the Powerbrake though, so that would be an option if you can't get it up to overdrive volume by itself. Since it's only 20W you can be a few clicks higher on the attenuator than you would be with a bigger amp.
