The Astoria models present Marshall a series of amplifiers with a circuit based on American boutique amps whose sound differs from that of the traditional Handwired series. Due to their different equipment, the amplifiers of the series have references in individual colours, which avoid mix-ups and underline the independent character of these amps.
The single channel Marshall Astoria Custom is aimed at guitarists who are looking for a clearly Vintage oriented sound, but do not want to do without modern features. The hand-built circuitry of the unit Astoria Classic dispenses with semiconductors in the signal path and delivers a warm, dynamic sound with high clarity. This can be adjusted via the classic 3-Band tone control as well as the brightness and brightness Body switches.
In addition, a switchable gain boost is available, which can be used to call up rich Overdrive sounds if required. In addition, the tube-buffered serial effects path offers the option of Marshall Astoria Custom connecting effects devices to the tube-buffered serial effects path.
