Marshall Amps Guitar Combo Amplifier, 3.5mm Jack, Black (M-MG30GFX-U)

I've had a lot of free time at home because I'm recovering from an accident, so I thought I'd pick up my guitars, which I haven't really had time for over the last several years. I wasn't happy with my old Line 6 amp, and wanted to upgrade, but I'm also not playing with anyone else, or planning on performing live, so I didn't want to break the bank. This was a perfect option. You get the quality of a Marshall with tons of sounds options, and you cannot beat the price. I recommend getting the pedal that allows you to switch between overdrive options without having to use your hands. Really helps when playing something that goes from clean to distorted, solos, etc. You can program it to your liking, or stick with the stock options they load into the amp. Takes a little work to get the sounds the way I like them, and I'm still experimenting with the delay options and stuff, but I highly recommend this if you're looking for a practice amp. It would also work for smaller live performances, especially if you mic it into a house system.

If you are looking for a Marshall tone with decent effects this is probably the best you can do for under $600.-The crunch/od channels get a nice range of the classic Marshall sound and beyond.-The clean tone is full-bodied and shimmery.-The effects are limited but have a decent quality.-Tone overall is good. You can feel the equalizing; heavy bass and/or deep mid-range and/or sharp treble are nice and pronounced.A great product for beginners and intermediates and not to bad for a practice amp for professionals.

So, I’ve been playing acoustic and electric on a old Johnson amp that a family member gave me. Then I bought this…ummm wow. I didn’t realize what my guitars were “supposed” to sound like until now. The sound is rich, clear, room filling. Turn up to rocket ship loud and it sounds rich, clear, and ear numbing. It just simply sounds amazing at any level.

I had one of these about 10 years ago. I used it quite a bit for small venues. It has that Marshall crunch that their famous for. At a gig way back when, I had someone who wanted to buy my amp and I sold it to him at the gig. He made it worthwhile for me to sell it to him. Over the years I’ve had many guitar amps Fender, Vox, Black Star, Orange and the list goes on. I’m satisfied with what I have but got the itch to buy this little beast of an amp again. My band members liked the choice. If don’t have one get one, before the prices go up, you’ll love it.

Reviewed by an novice guitar player but avid audiophile. I have had the amp for about 60 days and my first impression was not great, but it was not bad. Getting a clean tone with a bit of gain and hint of chorus took some time. The directions were not precise enough to just get the green (clean) light. I am not a fan of the constant flashing red light as in when did a flashing red light ever mean anything good ? My amp to compare this to is an RMSAC40 with a twelve inch speaker and for clean sound the RMS can get louder. Also when next to a fender bass rumble 25 it's volume down on the bass and up on the Marshall to keep up, again clean setting.So for me as a newbie to this product there is indeed a leaning curve, a very rewarding one. Easy on the FX...small increments and patience should get you the sound you may be looking for. I used an Ibanez Gio HSS. Ibanez Gio HH and a 2003 Squire strat standard as well as a new Xavier pro500.Well after a 60 day break in the amp and I are getting along nicely, the speaker is breaking in etc. I would recommend the AMP but have the Fender Champion 100 way up on my list for next purchase. Will I sell the Marshall...It's a Marshall what do think, no. The reason for the 3 on value is because I think a good clean amp with proper pedal may be easier then adjusting the knobs on the fly.Well there you have it, if you get this amp I really do not believe you'll be disappointed.

Husband loves it. As a novice guitar player this amp is perfect. Just the right size to move around the house, carry on to the back patio or take to a friend's house for a jam session. The price point was good too. Great sound for the size. He will get years of enjoyment.

The media could not be loaded. Never owned a Marshall amp before. This one took the crown for affordability and excellent sound. Most of the effects you need are there and jammed along with a toggle switch for 2 Overdrive sound and 1 Gain sound fx.

Nice lightweight feature packed practice amp. For the price I'd get it again but the MG30 is the largest I'd consider in this line of Marshall amps. You'd only get more volume out of the MG50 and for the price difference the value diminishes. The amp affects are good but not good enough to warrant the foot switch in my opinion. The MG30 is the way to go.
