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 handcrafted Astoria Dual Top is for guitarists looking for a versatile amp with a distinct boutique character. With its two-channel design, the Amp crystal-clear Clean - and rich, harmonic Distortion -sounds deliver unsurpassed clarity and dynamics thanks to the use of high-quality components and hand-wired point-to-point construction with short signal paths. The classic 3-Band tone control adjusts the amp's sound, while the Edge control adjusts the treble level. In addition, the Body switch offers the possibility of eliciting rich sound variations from the Astoria dual.
External effect devices can be looped into the Astoria dual's signal path via the serial effects path, the level of which can be switched. The KT66 two-equipped amplifier of the Marshall Astoria Classic boutique follows classical circuits and gives the sound a bell-like quality with a good Low -end. Thanks to its 30 Watt output power, which can be reduced if necessary, the amplifier has enough power reserves for Studio , rehearsal and stage.
