"Awesome"
Feature:
This amp needs 2 things to be perfect. Reverb, and an gain switch instead of just knob. For the price, i gues reverb could be skipped, but as for the gain/distortion, there is always a tiny bit of distortion, even with gain set to 0. I play acoustic as well as electric, and for small practices or shows, I use this amp with my acoustic. No one has ever noticed the small amount of distortion, but I do. Overall, it's pretty well suited.
Quality:
I'd say this amp would be perfect for on the road, if you're playing small shows, or just jamming with the guys. It's dependable and I've only had problems when the battery runs low. When that happens, you just run out, buy a new $1 battery, stuff it in, and keep jammin'.
Value:
This amp was definately worth $60. I love the Marshall distortion. It's distinctive, and you can tell its a marshall without even seeing it.
Desirability:
This amp isn't really very "sexy" I mean, size is supposed to matter right? It's not a whopper, but it sure as hell kicks like one. Point for me! size doesn't matter!
Sound:
For a mini-amp, this thing is awesome, it kicks perfectly to get a good sound for Our Lady Peace, or you can crank it to get a heavy sound for Slipknot. Its the most versatile mini-amp I've played.
Ease of Use:
This amp is extremely easy to use. I'm yet to find an amp that isnt...
Support:
Never had to deal with support.
Overall:
I like this amp a lot! I expect to use it for atleast 10 more years til it dies. then i'll just go buy another. It's as close to a Marshall full stack as I'll ever own, and I love it.

"The true way to get the MS-4 to sound great."
Feature:
The MS-4 is the best mini-amp made out of all I have played and heard. The feature that would be really nice, is reverb! Though for it's price, it is perfect
Quality:
The amp is well made and there are no defects in mine. Anything will last as long as you take care of it. As for use ont he road, I think it would be perfect, it is not all in the amp that gives you a good sound, it is also how fluent and smooth you play.
Value:
Yes, the MS-4 was well worth it's price.
Desirability:
There is no sexuall appeal to an amp or to music itself. The MS-4 is a very reliable and convenient accessory.
Sound:
If your guitar has high output, turn down the tone, if it has low output and higher bass frequencies, turn up the tone
Support:
I would would rather pay for a Marshall than get any other amp for free, that is how much I use Marshall amps. With the MS-4, I use the built in functions for the sounds that I want.
Overall:
I think that the MS-4 is an excellent design, I plan to keep it for long time. I did not expect it to sound like my JCM 900 1960 lead with the AVT 150H. It is the best sounding mini amp made, especially to only have 1 watt. The only feature I will look for with the MS-4, is reverb.
