Very cool, low power Marshall all tube amp (uses 6V6's for around 15 watts), channel switching, and multiple effects. If the price is right, they may sell a ton of these. Sweet!!

Damnit!!! Why do you guys do this to me. My poor wallet may have to go hungry for a while once these come out. I need a good combo amp anyway for practice. Damn you Marshall!!! Damn you and your God like amps to hell!!!

Hmmm, very interesting. I'm not going to judge it without trying one out (or at least hearing one) first, BUT I can tell you that I don't like 2 channel amps and integrated effects are usually crap IMO.
I do like the looks of the combo though. Like an old Bluesbreaker. If the VM combo had looked like that (instead of the control panel facing the front) I probably would have bought one of them instead of the head/2x12.

WOW, just watched the demo vid. Sounds VERY good.....too good.

Here's Doug Aldrich playing through one.

Looks very cool at this point, not sure of the onboard effect. Might be OK for a bit'o'ambiance
I want a low powered amp. This Marshall will get me first shot.

Any idea of the cost. Hopefull $500-600USD.

Another question. Would you be able to buy just the head or do you have to buy the whole stack?

Looks like the head is by itself, but the combo is 40w EL34???

Damnit!!! I just looked at their clips on the Marshall site. I want both of those amps now!

Marshall Amplification introduces the new Haze line of compact and portable valve-driven performance amplifiers: the 40-Watt Haze combo (MHZ40C) and the 15-Watt Haze head (MHZ15).

The Haze line was designed for the musician who demands an honest clean sound, a driving blues tone and some biting rock — all from a single, gig-ready amp. The Haze 40 combo is equipped with a single Celestion G12-66 Marquee 12″ speaker. The Haze 15 head can be paired with matching single 12″ Celestion G12-66 Marquee loaded cabinets (MHZ112A - angled; MHZ112B - base) as well.

The preamp section is powered by three ECC83 valves (tubes). Both Haze models feature two channels (normal and overdrive) that share a three-band EQ; a Bright switch adds extra emphasis to the highs. A selection of retro-style effects offers authentically-voiced Echo, Vibrato, and Chorus. An emulated spring-reverb is also included. Effect settings are retained by each channel for immediate recall during performance. All effects remain truly bypassed when completely off, providing a more direct signal path.

The Haze 40 combo features unique cabinet construction elements. The closed-back cabinet has been modified with four circular holes to preserve the best aspects of both an open-back and a closed-back design. The speaker is asymmetrically mounted, allowing for extended lows. This combo also features an additional presence control in the EQ, as well as a boost switch to add more depth to the low-mids. A bypass-able effects loop is also included. For recording or directly patching into a PA system, an emulated speaker line output recreates the speaker response. Power is provided by two EL34 valves.

The Haze 15 head is powered by a pair of 6V6 valves. Two 8-Ohm and one 16-Ohm speaker jacks are provided. The matching MHZ112 cabinets feature finger-jointed construction and a closed back design for robust tone and efficient power handling. The MHZ112B is a straight style (base) design; the MHZ112A is the traditional Marshall angled (top) style. Together with the Haze 15 head, they form a striking mid-size stack that is easily transportable.

An included two-way footswitch allows for channel switching and turning effects on and off.

The Marshall Haze 40-watt combo (MHZ40C) and the 15-watt head (MHZ15) will be available July 2009 with respective MSRPs of $1000 and $840.


That's MSRP which is usually quite a bit higher than actual "street" price.

Oh Yeah :dance

I HAVE to have the full stack but I'll start with the head through my VM cab.

I wonder if I should wait the obvious limited edition...

The Purple Haze

I had look through the manual from the Marshall site and good to see the digital effects can be completely switched out of the signal path. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like up close and personal. Check out their Marshall Theatre demos also.

[snatch]

doesnt sound to bad. not crazy about digital effects but if the price is right.........i wonder if you could mod the 15 to accept el34's or even el84's to give it a vox meets marshall vibe
