Musical Background: Hobby , I play the guitar abouts two years.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Well, it's a very nice amp, the clean channel sounds very warm. The Overdrive is very strong.. I think that its sounds very good if you play Punk or Grunge style (like Nirvana). The effects sounds very good I like the Chorus and the Reverb... The Delay is also good for the beginner. I think that this amp should have a Middle knob in the clean channel (also in the overdrive chanell even there's a Counter knob). The last - The clean channel is not louder at all. Feature: it's a not a big amp , but the MG30DFX is bigger then the Fender Frontman 25R that i checked. has many knobs :) Why the power cable can't be disconnect from the amplifier !?!?!? it's terible to me becuase i must use a special correlation to connect the amplifier to the power soket :( Ease of Use: Easy to use ! in the amp's box there is a helpful book with suggested settings Quality: Very good quality of wood it made. the amp is heavy (11kg!) and massive the front panel looks beautifully. Manufacturer Support: Doesn't have any problems with Marshall yet. Overall: VERY good amplifier for the electric guitar beginner!!

Back to Product Information
Sound: What a great amp ! The clean channel is very clean...my electric sounds like an acoustic guitar, but loud. The Contour control (lead channel) brings in a full bodied guitar tone. I prefer the slight 'breaking up' overdriven sound this Marshall has. I switch back & forth between the clean acoustic guitar sound and the warm, singing overtone sound. The FX are very clean and usable. I mostly use a touch of delay. Overall: It's light, it's loud, it's inexpensive & it sounds good ! Feature: There are 2 downsides to this amp, IMHO. #1 - The FX aren't foot switchable (why?). I'd like to be able to click the delay in & out. Or, reverb ob the clean channel, delay on the lead channel. #2 - The Line out jack disconnects the speaker (why?). I'd like to feed the signal into the PA. But, I also like to have a little control over my stage volume. Ease of Use: Very intuitive. No problems. Quality: It looks very well made to me. Value: Well worth the price paid ! Manufacturer Support: Back in the day...I owned a guitar repair shop. Marshall was a great company to work with. The Wow Factor: It sounded so good..I had to own it. Overall: I will wear this amp out.

Back to Product Information
Sound: For this size amp the sound is great. I use my Gibson Les Paul through the amp and it work fantastic with rock, country, blues, etc. It won't play a concert but it's a fine practice or small gig amp. What else would you expect from a Marshall? Feature: The speaker is adequate and this amp is loud. (Marshall's are supposed to be loud!)I like the ease of use and the controls are easy to see and well arranged. It's made in Korea but the Marshall quality is evident. Value: It' worth the price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't used support. The Wow Factor: Marshall good looks, Marshall quality. I'm proud to carry it with me. Overall: If I lost this one for any cause, I'd go right out and buy another.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This amp sounds great. I use him for amplification of my accoustic Fender with pick-up. On the clean channel he has a bright and clean sound with enough volume. Much better then several combo's designed for accoustic guitars. When I play solo i can adjust the overdrive channel in uncountable types of sounds in combination with the effects. It gives playing the accoustic guitar a new dimension. If you dail the gain of the drive channel low you have a nice crunchy sound for rythem guitar. Great!!!! Feature: The reverb sounds fantastic. Chorus sounds nice but is not useable in combination with reverb. What a pity. And it is a pity that the line out mutes the speaker!! When i'm recording with my combo, i have to use the monitor of the mixing console. but for this price it is a great Marshall combo. Quality: This product feels Very reliable! Overall: For a long period of time!!

Sound: Outstanding. This little amp rocks. Feature: The 4 digital effects are very simple to use and they sound great. Ease of Use: They couldn't be any simpler Quality: Safely packed in two boxes, it was blemish free. Value: This amp is worth very penny. Okay so your not going to play The Garden with it but it's loud enough to play small clubs with a reasonable drummer. Manufacturer Support: Can't really coment on support. Haven'y had any problems requiring a call for support The Wow Factor: Hey man lets not get carried away, it's a little amp for God's sake but it works great and sounds better then great. Overall: You can't afford not to buy it. If your looking for a small amp to practice through and play an occasional gig with, look not farther.

Sound: I always wanted a Marshall but they are expensive. With this amp I got, at last, a great tone with my Hamer Sunburst with Seymour Duncan Invader pickups Feature: it definitely needs a pedal to change between normal and overdrive Ease of Use: Very easy to use Quality: I don't have problems with it. Value: Good value for the money Manufacturer Support: Well, here in Peru were I live, the support is really scarce... Overall: everything considered, it a fairly bue with a great sound and it's very light to carry...

Sound: bad sound no character and barely any desirable tones. i just got rid of this amp i play a gibson les paul studio into it and on the clean channel u cant go past two without getting a nasty clipping transistor overdrive on big chords. even though solid state amps can pull off decent(at best) overdrive sounds they will never match the character and feel of a tube amp which is why solid state amps suck. Feature: it has lots of features. Quality: lots of ppl on forums rant on how it breaks mine hasnt though. The Wow Factor: its bad. solid state amps have an automatic 1 on the "i want it". Overall: im shipping this thing tomorow and im glad to be rid of this terrible amp. if u think u want this amp, dont get it. get a blackheart or some low watt valve amp. this thing isnt loud at all for 30 watts. a 5 watt blackheart could be louder.
