Just when you thought I was out of marshall amps to profile... Here's a nice 1974 50 watt small box marshall I've had for several years. Great sounding amp, but a little different from my '72 for two big reasons:
1) it's a 50 watt, which makes it sound a little different. Some guys prefer 50 watt amps. I like em both.
2) It's running 6550 power tubes. They are a bigger/bolder/badder version of 6L6s. This is from the factory - amp is bone stock.
So what's it sound like? Here are a few quick clips, one is a rhythm thing with gain about 70%, other is an Eric Johnsonish tone I was playing with. Rhythm clip is PT 74 Marshall DF 02 profile, EJ is PT 74 Marshall 57 04. Just in case you get these profiles and want to try out those tones. I did use an EJ strat with a humbucking JB single coil sized pickup in the bridge.

So what do you get for your $10? 20 profiles of the 1974 Marshall 50 watt 6550 powered amp you see above. 4 amp settings from all the way to 10 to 3 or so - covering gainy thick rhythms to barely broken up blues tones. Five different emulated microphones were used, with the help of Two Notes Torpedo technology. Profiles clean up well also and are very dynamic. This wouldn't be my first choice for heavy metal, but for driving blues and rock, these profiles are thick and toneful.
