Apparently it has auto biasing firmware in it, can toss any tube type in with no adjustment needed.
You can see the auto biasing led's in the back chassis shot, sort of looks "Engl-ish".

What's really sad is that MARSHALL forgot how to design a MARSHALL amp, ever.Ancient Alien":3kjxnefa said:I'm glad to see Santiagos newest quest come to life.
Santiago is the best thing to happen to Marshall in Decades!
The man is brilliant and designs amazing circuits.
I know some may not agree due to habitual thinking, but the JVM is the best amp design in the last 20-30 years to come out of Marshall.
I could care less if the inside had three Pigmy's farting on a hamster wheel.
You have to remember that these amps are designed to be mass marketed, and Santiago knows how to put the balls into a PCB amp.
It's just like the JVM, a modded JCM800 done with modern technology and practical construction.
And just like Steve Fryette, John Suhr and several other builders said, if anyone can plug in and tell the difference between a PTP and PCB amp built to the same specs, they can have the amps they built.
But not one person came to the challenge.
(just some gear page corksniffery from the past)
Bottom line is that I'm sure the amp is gonna rip your face off.
Add in the excellent engineering and you will have a killer Marshall there.
The JVM still kills 90% of the modded marshall designs out there that people pay thousands and thousands of dollars for, so I trust this amp will do the same on a much more simple platform.

It's a dummy choke just like a dummy reissue. There's really just a resister in there.Riddick":z122wfb8 said:At least they put a damn choke in it!
