Marshall MS2 Mini Guitar Amplifier

No longer available at zZounds
Carry a watt of Marshall's legendary tone with you wherever you go with this micro amp. It features switchable clean and overdrive modes.

Now you can roam wherever you wish without having to sacrifice your treasured Marshall tone.

The MS-2 is the ultimate in portable battery/mains adaptor operated micro amps, packing a full 1 Watt of Marshall tone into a tiny case measuring just 14 cm x 11 cm x 6cm. This mighty micro Marshall half-stack has switchable Clean and Overdrive modes. A single Tone control provides full focus of bass to treble.

Both the MS-2 and MS-4 have a headphone output for those of you who want to rock in private. This output can also be used to effectively drive an external power amp.

The MS-4 is finished in traditional Marshall black, with white logo and gold panel, while the MS-2 is available in 3 cosmetically different versions: the standard MS-2 is finished in traditional Marshall black, with white logo and gold panel; the MS-2R has the same features but is finished in a striking blood red; the MS-2C or Classic, features full vintage styling including checkered fret cloth and gold Marshall logo.

Of these "mini amps" this one has to be the best.
Sound
The sound is "darned good." Of course it is not a big Peavey or something ... heck, it runs on a 9 volt battery! But it does exactly what I expected it to do. I play with a group of about 25 guitars and banjos ... I "finger pick" and couldn't hear my own guitar. So I plug the earphones into this little amp, and now I can hear what I'm doing. So my need was specific, and this amp fits my need perfectly. I can also "jam" with it when there are about 4 guitars playing and it "shows up" very well. I got my money's worth.
Features
I like it that it is so small, it looks great (got everyone's eye at the guitar group) ... and a couple of other guys are going to order one.
Quality
I dropped it a couple of times, and it still works! So I guess I'd have to say it is built pretty well.
Value
I reseearched this pretty carefully ... I got what I ordered. The price was right.
Manufacturer Support
The best support is when you don't need it! So I haven't tried to contact the company that made it.
The Wow Factor
2 other guys in my guitar group are going to be ordering one of these because they thought is was "really neat" and worked so well.
