"True Marshall Power"
I'm very satisfied with this amp, it just rocks. Pure balls to the wall cranked Marshall, theres nothing better then that. I use it for recording and when I'm on the road. It's my main amp all around.
Sound
I love the tone on this amp, it's very versitile and can go from classy sounding tube overdrive to an extreme new marshall distortion. Amp 2's OD2 has enough gain for anyone, I have to keep the gain set on 5 and I play metal!
Features
This thing is packed full of great features like the Solo Boost, the indivisual FX Volume for each amp, and the simulated speaker out for recording and live sound.
Quality
It's a Marshall, and they are tanks! This amp looks just as sold as any other Marshall I have ever seen, plus its a hybrid so no worrying about the power tubes!
Value
This truly is a great deal. It might be a little hard on the pocket book for some but it is packed for of some many great things for the modern guitar player. It more or less has 4 diffrent Marshall amps all in one.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to deal with Marshall themselves but any Marshall dealer will service the amps and all of them I have dealt with rocked.
The Wow Factor
I would have to say this is best looking Marshall ever, it just screams at you.

"great amp"
its a keeper . I may get a jcm 2000 but thats not a replacement just an addition to the arsonal. I still have the randall and will never sell it. diffrent uses.. the marshall will be my stage amp and primary studio amp.
Sound
This amp rocks... I read a review by someone stating they had volume problems changing channals adn so did I untill I read the manual. and saw how marshall uses "sweet spots" on the gain controll to level out the diffrence from clean to distored. I now with the use of the foot controller can go from sparkaling cleans to heavy heavy distortion. I gave it a 9 for sound beacue I still feel that an all tube amp produces a better clean sound but I have not heard a better distortion. not to say the clean is bad it's exeptional. I just like the JCM 800 a little better for clean. but compare it to the mesa triple rectifier .. this amp is on par if not better ( I personly feel I get better tones from the marshall) and it cost less.
Features
Digital Reverb included with a kill switch. nothing makes paying odd timing sound tighter than turning off the reverd. the effects loop adjustable from paralel to serial by adjusting the effect level is a awesome addition with each "amp have its own reverb and effect setting". this is a veristile amp
Quality
its a marshall... please

better pried than mesa boogie but for beginners Randall rm200 sounds great.. i've used the 100 watt version for 15 years and I'm just now spending the money.

Marshall MF350 Head Customer Review
Sound
The versatility of this amp is awesome. You can get about any sound and the louder you turn it the better it is. If you keep it on level 1 or 2 it still sounds good but when you turn it to 3 or more it has a punch you in the gut sound. I can't tell you how many people have commented on the sound of the amp but the pickups have a little to do with it also. If you play with a cheap pickup your sound will not be what you want it to be. Play with some Seymour Custom Customs in the bridge and you'll love it. The only complaint I have is, I have to much hum but if I play through the Active EMG 81's I have none. Not sure why but no matter what guitar I play with (except for actives) it hums way to much. I have about 25 guitars with all kinds of different pickup configurations and they all hum except with EMG's.
Features
Pretty much get all of the sounds that you get from a tube. It has no effects built in like some solid state but I wouldn't want that. That's what pedals are for. I like the solo boost on the pedal. It's very handy on stage.
Ease of Use
I don't understand why some people say it's hard to figure this amp out because it is quite easy for me. The six button footswitch is great for stage use and because of the 2 volumes and the master you can keep your sound at the same level when switching your buttons.
Quality
Had a house fire a year ago and it made it through it and it is still sounding strong. Cross my fingers, I would buy another.
Value
When these were brand new I thought they were a little high around $1200 to $1300 but I got mine for about$900 which was ok. Today you can usually find used for about $500 and I think that is a steal for 350 watts.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to use and it is 5 years old. It comes with 5 year warranty.

Marshall MF350 Head Customer Review
Sound
has a great sound live. DO NOT USE FOR RECORDING. We tried for hours to get this thing to sound decent for recording. The only way you're gonna get this thing to sound good is to turn it the f*** up. We switched to a JCM2000.
Features
Lots of cool little knobs
Ease of Use
Easy to use, but like any amp, it takes time to understand how it works and know what sounds good.
Quality
Good quality like anything I've used from marshall.
Value
It's competitively priced, but I don't just use it live. I need a versitile amp.

Marshall MF350 Head Customer Review
Sound
This amp totally blew me away.. i got it nd had questions about the sound.. at first it doesnt sound that hot but don't panic.. it takes a while to really understand how to set it up.. it took alot of time playing with the knobs to get the sound you want.. but trust me.. you can find it with this amp. once you set it up right.. it will be the best amp you ever played.
Features
4 modes !! reverb nd solo.. tune muter.. it has everything you need.. if you want more just get some pedals
Ease of Use
its easey to put togther .. but its diffult to find the sound you want.. it takes alot of patience nd times but it pays off .nd you will get the perfect metal sound you want

"On par with mesa if they could make all four modes work well together."
Again great if you could figure out how to use all four modes without blowing your ear-drums.
Sound
If you take each sound it is capable of and tweak it, the sounds are great and loud, loud, loud. The clean is good and doesn't break up the overdrive 2 on the left amp is jcm800ish and good. The other amp on the right side is mesa ish and more gain than you'll ever NEED.
Features
If you are looking for a mesa sounding kickass amp this one has reverb which is a plus on the mesa, and it has a solo button FINALLY! Great! Now-the problem with the amp that holds me back from buying it is if you go from clean to OD2 on the same side (left) same amp, the volume boost is way too much!! If you go from OD1 to OD2 on the right side you get the same thing... TOO much volume boost. I mean they almost had it right. Four channels(it boasts these as modes) but only two volume controls. You cannot utilize all four "modes" in a live situation without going back to your amp and fiddling around with the volume controls. If there is a fix I would love to know and I am e-mailing marshall to find out if there is one. If not-here I come mesa triple.
Quality
I'd give it a higher rating because it truly is built well but part of quality is making sure everything works well. And the volume problem is a quality problem. The other thing is there are only 2 tubes in the whole thing one pre-amp on each amp. So basically it's like a valve-state on each side.
Value
Again if the volume problem wasn't there I would put this on par with a mesa triple or dual recto but at CAN$1000 less!! But if it doesn't work right then I can't say that it's much of a deal. Enless you only use 2 sounds all night.
Manufacturer Support
Don't own it. But have a marshall and it they are pretty good.
The Wow Factor
Very attractive looking amp and the fact that it has 350 watts is great but...same as above.
