Marshall MB450H head?

[FarFromTheTrees]

There's one of these for sale locally, in good, ungigged shape, for £80. Does anyone know much about them? Is it worth £80? What cabs could I pair up with this head?

I've only used combos up until now but I would like to venture into amp & cab territory, though I am on a tight budget.

Cheers!

I gigged the 4210 combo for a while.

Sounded alright, really noisy fan. But for £80, not a bad shout.

It is a really versatile amp. Two separate channels "Classic" (tuby) and "modern". Both channels are blendable. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£80 are a bargain![/font][/color]

Nice amps, and at £80 a steal. They also, if I recall correctly, operate at 2ohms so you can connect two 4ohm cabs to them - best check that out via manuals/back of the amp to make sure though.

£80 - snap it up. Gigged the 410 combo for a while. Lovely sound but soooooo heavy. A head with some lightweight cabs would be great.

Edit - you could always move it on if you didn't like it - I'd happily head up the queue!

Another fan here. I've got the 410 combo and gigged it for a while, but it is very heavy so went lightweight. I have it at home and use it as my practice amp every week. A great amp for the money, and as has been said above, quite versatile. For £80 its a no brainer, go get it .....

Great deal!
They run down to 2 ohms, and the mb cabs I use are 4 ohms each. They sound lovely with my DBS heads 😉

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I've messaged the seller so hopefully he still has it and I can go pick it up soon.

In regards to cabs, will any 4 ohm cab work with this amp? I see a lot of Hartke XL cabs come up for sale. Would they do the trick?

Yep, any 4ohm cab will be fine - one capable of handling higher power on paper should be safest. And yes, the Hartke XL cabs would do the trick, they`re very nice cabs, though a bit weighty. If looking for reasonably priced cabs Hartke, Peavey, Ashdown are all worth looking at, as are the Marshall MB cabs, if you can find them.
