Purchase: I bought this amp in Colorado Springs about a year ago from Pro Sound music for $279. I originally purchased it to use for rehearsals and recording.
Pros: I love the portability and the absolutely awesome tone of this little amp. The range and depth of tone is really remarkable for an amp of this size and price. I have since been using it at small gigs and some larger rooms with a lot of success. Nobody can believe that this amp is producing all of that sound.
Cons: Wish it had channel switching and was quiter in the gain mode. It is really noisy with the gain switch on.
Quality: The construction is like every other Marshall I've ever owned--SOLID ! Quality is way above the level you would expect for under $300.
Review Summary: All in all, if you need a small amp for small gigs, rehearsals or recording use and still want that Marshall tone, go buy this sucker! Oh, the DI is speaker emulated, so you can go straight to the board or snake ( it works nicely I might add as I have used it on a bunch of gigs ) and the headphone jack is nice for working out parts without disturbing anyone at 2 am.

Purchase: Ive been playing guitar for about a year now, and ive been using a 15-watt squier amp since i first got my guitar. One of my friends had this amp, and the first time i played it, I knew i wanted one. Well my birthday finally came around and i went to Mars Music and bought the last one they had. Unfortunately, it was the display model, so i paid about $275 for it.
Pros: This amp is perfect for what i need. Its small enough for the bedroom but can put out plenty of sound if i need it. Since this amp is part of the AVT series, its pre-amp is based on a real ECC83 tube, so it puts out the same tone as an AVT150 stack, or any of the other AVT amps. Ive used this amp to record a few songs, and it sounds amazing! Even with my crappy squier strat i can still make it sound just as good as my favorite bands guitar.
Cons: The only thing i dont like about this amp is that it doesnt have an input for a footswitch, Other than that, its perfect.
Quality: This amp is built very well, i use it as a seat all the time and nothing is loose or anything. Review Summary: THe Marshall AVT20 is the perfect amp for someone that wants the genuine Marshall sound without paying the traditional Marshall price.
