Feature:
Simple, no frills, clean and overdrive channels with volume controls on each and gain and contour controls on overdrive. Also has a CD input and a headphone input.

Quality:
Very solid, I carry mine around a lot and it hasn't hinted at dying yet, I'm sure I'll get many more years out of it.

Value:
You'll be hard pressed to find a better amp for the price.

Desirability:
It looks cool and has the Marshall name. Nuff said

Sound:
Great Sound considering it's size, has that fantastic Marshall tone, could use bass, mid and treble controls though.

Ease of Use:
Couldn't be simpler, you should have no trouble getting the sound you want.

Support:
Can't comment, never had to deal with them.

Overall:
This is a fantastic beginner amp and, at this price, it's a steal. The only thing keeping it from a ten is the lack of bass, mid and treble controls, still highly recommended.

Feature:
the cd input is ok for jamming alongto -cool. But....(and this is my only beef with this amp) There is only one tone control, which makes it hard to tweak your sound. Annoying if you have a great sound but just a tad too much bass or treble. If it had a bass, mid, and treble button you could fine tune and not compromise your sound, which is a pain

Quality:
well built, good sounding, great name

Value:
good for a beginner and for portability, cant complain - it is cheap really

Desirability:
it does the job, but i want something better

Sound:
Excellent sound quality for both clean and distorted sounds. There is plenty of gain - i often use the gain channel more often than my distortion pedal

Ease of Use:
very easy and simple

Support:
dont know never had a problem

Overall:
i just wish it had a bit more control on the tone. this amp is hard wearing and well built. i wouldnt buy it again because for a £20 more you can get the functionality its lacking. But overall a good sound quality for the price

Value:

Feature:
It doesn't have a heck of a lot of features, especially for a transistor amp. You get two channels, clean and distortion. That's it. I doubt most people really need more than that, though; this is the purist's practice amp. But it does mean you probably don't want this amp if the Marshall sound isn't what you're after.

Quality:
It seems very solid for the most part. Only thing I'm a little worried about is the carry handle - there is a *lot* of play before it "catches" when you pick it up. I'm used to amps and amp heads with handles that don't have a lot of give. It's probably just paranoia, but it kind of feels like the handle's going to come off whenever I pick this thing up.

Value:
There are cheaper practice amps out there, and I haven't tried them all. Some of them do modeling and have other modes that this amp lacks. But this amp has the Marshall sound. If that's what you want, it's totally worth it.

Desirability:
Honestly, just seeing that big "Marshall" logo on it makes it look good. Those classic Marshall knobs and gold backplate don't hurt its aesthetics either. And it's just so small and cute otherwise. I think it looks great for a practice amp.

Sound:
A bunch of years ago one of my bandmates had a Marshall stack with a tube head. This little amp honestly has that same sound, at least as I remember it. It really does have that Marshall sound. Of course, that means it's not going to appeal to everybody - it's kind of a dirty distortion and a twangy clean. The manual that comes with the amp claims Marshall is using some sort of proprietary technology that forces the preamp to interact with the amp in the same way a tube would. It seems to be more than just a gimmick.

Ease of Use:
It really doesn't get much easier. Power button, overdrive button, tone, volume and gain controls. If you can't work this interface, then you're not ready to own an amp of any kind.

Support:
This is really n/a, but I can't fault Marshall for a service I haven't used, so I'm not taking any points off.

Overall:
If I were going to buy a practice amp again, I might at least *try* some of the other modeling amps in its price range or even cheaper. There are also a couple of cheap practice amps out there that have real tube preamps. But I love the Marshall sound, so it would take a real amp of distinction to beat this thing out for me, and I don't know that there really are any amps like that in this price range.

Feature:
The features were OK on this. Not too much to choose from. Clean and overdrive pretty much. But two different sounds. The distortion customization is pretty well put together, so you can get just about any sound you want.

Quality:
The quality of this amp is very good. When you take everything in and think about it, this is a very excellent buy for only $70.

Value:
This is absolutely worth the money. A cheap priced amp, but the best sound you can get for $70. Very good for playing in your home. You could probably play in churches or small buildings as well. This thing can get pretty loud for a small amp.

Desirability:
It's a very slick looking amp. It has a gold plate where the knobs are, and a nice white Marshall logo. It looks very good.

Sound:
The sound in this amp is very good. The distortion is pretty good, and the clean it good. Overall I rate it a 9 for a very nice sound.

Ease of Use:
It's an amp. Not hard to use...

Support:
I can only rate this a 5 since I haven't needed any support. But I do know that they give you a 5 year warranty.

Overall:
This is the best amp you can get for $70. I've had a few small amps like this, but this is the best one I've had. I see alot of people complementing the "Marshall" name. Although this is my first Marshall, I can tell you that it's probably the best amp this size out there. The price is excellent.

Feature:
Clean and overdrive.....in such a small package...you won't find a better deal anywhere at any price on a small practice amp.

Quality:
I haven't owned it very long so it's hard to comment on dependability however, it's got one of the best, most respected names on it so, I expect quality service for many years.

Value:
If you're a beginner or a seasoned player that doesn't want to keep lugging around that big amp, this is perfect, you won't be disappointed. The sounds I get out of this amp are incredible! I defy anyone to show me a product in the $69 - $89 that performs better than this one and I'll burn my Les Paul (ok, maybe I won't). Seriously, a great amp at a great price.

Desirability:
It's a Marshall, what else do I have to say!

Sound:
AWSOME, Unexpected from an amp this size but, IT'S A MARSHALL.

Ease of Use:
Ease of use? Come on! Let's get real here, if you don't find an amp easy to use quit playing!

Overall:
Far and away exceeds expectations. Let's get real here, it's no Marshall or Fender stack but, I'm telling you, you will be blown away by the sound of this little monster!

Feature:
Well it had good overdrive sound, but it wasn't overall that good on the long run, but it's still awesome!!!

Quality:
It is made perfectly hard. You drop it 2 feet it doesn't have a scratch. It can't break!!!!!!!!

Value:
It was at an amazing price!!!

Desirability:
It looks awesome!

Sound:
The Marshall MG10CD is amazing I bought it 1 week ago, and it's awesome. It sounds so good it's amazing.

Ease of Use:
Turn it up all the way overdrive on gain at 10, volume at 10, and contour on 0 it is a metal machine overdrive of nice clean sound overdrive on gain at 5, volume at 8 or 9, and contour at 4, you got Rock sound. Overdrive on gain at 1, volume at 7, and contour at 10, you got blues sound.

Support:
Well i've never had a Marshall amp before, but I'm never getting another GUITAR AMP. I still need a cheapish bass amp though.

Overall:
I'm never going to get another practice amp!!!

Feature:
For 10 watts it's good. could have used reverb and bass, middle, and treble controls. But again it's only a 10 watt amp.

Quality:
Marshall quality, can't be beat

Value:
You get what you pay for and even more in my opinion

Desirability:
It may be small, but it's sex appeal is through the roof

Sound:
whenever I crank the gain up I feel like I'm playing in front of an amp three times the size. It rocks

Ease of Use:
Layout is simple and easy to figure out.

Support:
never needed

Overall:
This was my first amp and I'm so satisfied with it that I feel no need to buy a more powerful or more feature packed amp

Looks great

It has an excellent sound for the amount of money this amp is being sold for. Maybe only 10 Watts but this sucker can get pretty loud on overdrive.

Ease of Use:
It's incredible how easy this amp is to use.

Feature:
The only thing that I wish this amp had was a separate tone control. I can go easily without reverb, since I have pedals for that. Other than that, it's perfect. The CD in/Line out jack is really useful. You can easily play along with your fovorite CD. Especially useful if you are trying to learn a song.

Quality:
You could throw this amp out a window, then go jump on it and it would be in perfect condition. This is a rugged little amp.

Value:
For $70, a Marshall. I thought it was a joke. I paid 100 euros (about $130) and it was still a great value.

Desirability:
This amp has all the appeal of all the other higher-end Marshalls, and also that nice warm tone we have come to know and love. You can't find a better amp for a better price, even for $40-$50 more.

Sound:
When I first turned on this amp, I was blown away that such great tone and depth could come from a little 6 inch speaker. It sounds a lot better than my other 20 watt amp, and is probably louder too.

Support:
Never had to deal with them.

Overall:
Great amp, no complaints. The guys up at Marshall are geniouses for making this little wonder and selling it so cheap.
