"MG250DFX: great amp at a great price!"

Feature:
for me, the less gadgets the better! Although having the chorus, delay, flange built in is nice and I do use them. I'm glad it came with the pedal to switch from clean to overdrive and the second swith to turn on/off the effects; works great!

Quality:
Quality, so far so good. I play mainly at my house, and occassionally go jam with friend's so I doubt it will get banged up. It is built very sturdy and I'm confident I won't have any problems.

Value:
awesome value! okay, I could spend $800 on a Marshall 100 watt 1 12in speaker AVT, over $1,000+ for an all tube combo, or get this for around $500! After spending two hours playing all the Marshall's at a local store, I decided this sounded awesome and was a great value. Tubes? whatever, unless you have money to burn, which I don't.

Desirability:
It looks great! I've always wanted a Marshall and I'm not disappointed. I like the fact that it's a 2 by 12 cabinet, so it's a little longer and not as boxey looking as 1 by 12 inch speaker cabs.

Sound:
I play an early 70's Les Paul (the paul) which I've had for 20 years (since I was 14!). I play mainly old school metal such as Priest, Maiden, Sabbath but also play some blues and jazz and old surf tunes. The overdrive has great distortion for getting the sound I'm looking for and the clean sounds great, especially for Ventures surf tunes with reverb and a little bit of delay.

Support:
I bought this as B-stock, and it was thoroughly inspected before shipping. I haven't dealt with any support yet.

Overall:
Don't buy this if you're only after clean tones....go buy a Fender. I play mainy metal, and that's why I bought a Marshall. I researched amps for six months before purchasing and for my price range, this was by far the best amp I found for what I was after. Great amp, great value and I very happy with my purchase. Don't let all those tube geeks fool you. You don't need to spend that kind of cash to get a great sound out of an amp. Try one of these and decide for yourself!

"Perfect Marshall combo at an affordable price!"

Feature:
i have to say i was not impressed with the effects knob. curiously, it takes a long time for the effects to warm up. i think it would be a lot better if it had a push-button effects system, like a JCM 2000 combo. The FDD works very well. i always leave it on, so when i take it off, i can definitely hear the decrease in the overall tone and sound quality. It still sounds good without FDD but i strongly suggest leaving it on. other than that the effects could be better.

Quality:
It's a Marshall. These things are built like tanks. The only thing i notice is that when i first had it, both speakers came on at the same time. now there is a two second pause before the right speaker comes on fully. Don't worry though, this doesnt affect the amp's sound and playability at all. The tolex isnt that impressive either. It might be plastic. It's tougher, but i like the original tolex better.

Value:
Marshalls are great. Its worth the price in my opinion

Desirability:
Marshalls could possibly be the most sexiest looking amps in the world. in fact, it's the look of a wall of Marshall extension cabs that attracted me to this company in the first place.

Sound:
The sound is incredible for a non-valve amp combo. This amp makes my 600 dollar guitar sound amazingly full. The style i play in requires all downstrokes which helps get a "wall of sound" feel. I used to play a Peavey Valve King combo. This non-valve marshall combo makes that amp sound like a joke. Great Marshall tone. i think the technological advances are unbelievable. Although it's not a valve marshall, it most certainly comes close

Ease of Use:
its a MG. They are in my opinion the easiest amps made by Marshall when it comes to dialing in a sound. I have played many Marshalls, and many of them have little bells and whistles ive never heard of before. I couldnt even begin to understand all the knobs and buttons on the AVT series amps! The two channels are simple enough if you have had experience with any other amps.

Support:
i haven't ever needed to call support for anything, but if i did I would not expect any problems with service

Overall:
hopefully this amp lasts me for a long time. i definitely plan to buy a vintage JMP 100 marshall at some time, but for right now, this MG250 and my DSL half stack are fine.
