Feature:
It is a cabinet , it isn't supossed to bring you coffee, but I have added castors to mine just so it doesn't have to be carried everywhere it goes.

Quality:
It seems well built for being as light as it is for a 412 cabinet. I personally like the all black (except for the Marshall logo across the front)

Value:
I think this cabinet is a very good value at under $300.

Desirability:
I will add another to my half-stack by going with a mg412a straght front for the bottom of the stack.

Sound:
I find for the price it has a good consistant tone to it, very neutral. It reproduces what you send to it very well.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play.

Support:
I haven't had any problems with this product to have needed to use thier support but Marshall has been around forever I am sure they must have good support or with as many options are out there they wouldn't still be.

Overall:
This cabinet has served well, I do believe lost or stolen it would be replaced with same, however there is a slight possiblity that i might go with a Beringer in the event of this one missing.

Feature:
This cab is SUPER lightweight for a 4x12, usually i need a hand with carrying cabs but this one is just so light one person can easily handle it. The light weight is good for carrying but goes to show how flimsy the cab is.

Quality:
So far the cab has held up fine but then again i dont use it any more. It seems easy to break considering how light it is. I wouldnt use it on the road because of the sound, but it would last im sure.

Value:
the cheap price of this amp does make it a value for those looking for tone at moderate volumes, althought in that case one might just go with a combo amp. If you need a bigger sound, you need a bigger cab. An inexpensive alternative would be the behringer 4x12, which costs about the same, is a lot bigger and louder, but is lacking in the tone department.

Desirability:
marshall is a credible name but this is one of their lowest end products soo...when someone sees this little cab next to a real marshall cab it isnt very desirable

Sound:
The tone of this cab is pretty descent, i would even say good even at low volumes. I play in a 5 piece metal band though so low volumes don't help me too much. I play a peavey 5150 head and when i crank it to play with the band, this cab cant keep up. It loses tonality and breaks up with palm muting at high volumes. It definitely doesnt havent the sound of a true marshall cab such as the 1960 model. Overall the sound is too small, cant stand up "literally" to other 4x12 cabs, its so small next to them!

Ease of Use:
just plug it in baby

Support:
im sure its fine

Feature:
one in, thats all you need in a cab

Quality:
made fine, mines a few years old and shows wear, but who gives a d**n, nobody looks at your amp, just buy a dapper guitar.

Value:
its cheap and it gets the job done right.

Desirability:
its a marshall, so its a classic. its not like you die for a cheap cab like this, but its a good product, and people will see it and know something about you.

Sound:
sounds decent, has a fairly neutral sonic quality and won't hinder your tone. For those of you who aren't too bright, or just inexperienced, good luck finding a USA made marshall. marshall its quite obviously a british company, thus the sought after british classic roar. eat it, chump. this amp is made in the same factory as all of your 1960 cabs, and your JCM heads, so what if it doesnt cost a fortune, its a genuine marshall.

Ease of Use:
easy to use, just use a heavy speaker cable as opposed to your every-day guitar cable.

Support:
marshall is legendary, but i'll probably never actually deal with them, if the cab is shot i'll just get a new one.

Overall:
should be good for at least 10 more years

Feature:
no real features, just one input jack.. kinda awkward..

Quality:
it is really strong, its kinda ugly i think though, it looks kindof like "Rhino liner" and there is no metal on the whole thing.

Value:
really its worth around 200 dollars, the mgs aren't even made in america i don't believe, i think they are assembled in some malaysian sweatshop. However, it really isn't bad for the price. It is probably pretty good for the price, but i suggest spending the extra money, if you are a serious guitarist, to buy a more serious product.

Desirability:
its a marshall... so that is sexy... but the name is all that makes it sexy, it really looks pretty cheap, what with black plastic, black tolex, and black grill, it just looks very minimal, and sounds about the same.

Sound:
its not very dynamic, i played lots of different stuff through it and it just seemed like it couldn't get as quiet or as loud as i wanted it too.

Ease of Use:
well... its a cab

Support:
marshall is a great company and dealing with them is not too much of a hassle.

Overall:
I owned it for three years but recently traded it in for a vintage ampeg "reverbrocket" cab from the sixties and seventies. I compared the two cabs sound side by side before making my trade and while the ampeg had warm bass and bell like treble, the marshall sounded extremely flat. The ampeg was also more responsive to dynamics, i.e. soft picking was quiet and hard strumming got very loud but never could peak out, and bridge strumming sounded distant while neck strumming sounded buttery. You really do just get what you pay for with cabs, the mg cab is cheap and sounds like it.

Feature:
Good sound to the effects, with footswitch making the difference. 2 channel, Comes with marshakll speaker cable too which saves any hassle linking the two up with a long cable.

Quality:
Marshall quality is always outstanding

Value:
The best that you can buy with that amount of money

Sound:
I use this cab with the MG100hdfx and it simply sounds awesome!! The tone is of typical marshall quality, with diverse sound. Together they are loud enough for any gigs as long as your not playing an arena!!! In our band the mg412a is superb, the best you can by for the money as i've heard the line 6 and hughes and kettler equivalent cabs.

Ease of Use:
Typically simple from marshall. Just take your time finding the perfect tone for you. It WILL be in there somewhere

Support:
3 Year warranty is well worth sending off, it comes already with a one year

Feature:
i don't know if it includes acesories c'ause i havn't got it. the most use full features are the input sockets c'ause that's the only feature on it.i would of liked there to be a volume nob on the back aswell as the volume on the head.

Quality:
this is a well made amp but should have wheels.

Value:
i gave it an eight because i think it could of been a bit louder for it's money.

Desirability:
this amp does appeal to me very much!!

Ease of Use:
it is a very easy amp to work and the settings are very easy to change to my own taste im not sure how easy it is to use with my other products because i have only tried it.

Support:
im not sure but i would think they are friendly.

Overall:
the thing i love most about this amp is it's looks and sounds.the thing i hate most about it is how loud it is, i think it would be better if it was 200 to 250 watts.

Quality:
you could drop it down the stairs and it would still work

Value:
great for the money

Desirability:
oh yeah

Sound:
this cab is great for the money. U use the MG100hdfx head with it and i've used it in miced gigs. Though it is not as clear as 1960A full size cabs its a good cheap alternative. As it is smaller it does mean that you can stack it ontop of the full 1960A cab. Overall a good cab with a good sound

Support:
havent used it yet

Overall:
amazing

Feature:
2 things it needs. #1-casters. It's not very heavy but I installed wheels on it.#2-another input jack would have been nice, but it's not too bad.

Quality:
Thick wood for being so lightweight. I plan on keeping mine for life. I've only done 1 gig so it's to early to tell how it'll hold up. It seems to be very sturdy for a $300 dollar cab.

Value:
I think it's a great value compared to the ones built in England. Mine says "made in korea" but I'm not sure if they're all made there.

Desirability:
It's better than crate cabinets in my opinion. I was suprised a cab costing so little would sound so good.

Sound:
I think is sounds great! It was an upgrade from a crate 4x12. The crate rattled if I turned up the bass on my amp, this marshall doesn't. I play hard rock/metal/classic rock and it covers it all. I did a gig with it and got many compliments on my sound. I'm running a 100 watt randall head thru this thing and it's KILLER!! It could be that the people who use a combo with less than 50 watts may not get those speakers moving enough to get any decent tone.

Overall:
I may get the straight cab for a full stack.
