iamqman « reverb added Marshall Guitar Series »
Published on 05/26/11 at 13:22This thing is quite amazing for the price. This is a 15 watt practice amp by Marshall that sounds fantastic. It has two channels and each channel shares the same EQ such as bass middle and treble. What is also great about this amp is the ability to plug an MP3 player of CD player and play along to your favorite backing tracks or MP3 songs.
It is rally a simple front panel with just the few eq's and the gain and volume. It has a small button to go from the clean channel to the dirty channel.
There are two things that make this unit different from the new NG15CD amps is the added reverb in the amp as well as the emulated line out

SOUNDS
I love the way this sounds with a Gibson Les Paul. Marshall and Gibson even though were created by different people on different continents somehow were eternally designed to match each other. They just absolutely make the best sonic sound that music can probably make.
The clean channel isn't too bad abut the thing sounds best to me in the dirty channel. Even when the gain is turned up all the way it still managers to retain the note clarity and string separation needed to be audibly desirable. The is a very promising attribute when jamming along with this amp.
OVERALL OPINION
The thing isn't going to sound like your Marshall JCM 800 or Marshall JVM amp or anything but it was never built to compete with something like that. These amps are made for entry people and people who just need a cheep practice amp. You get a two channel amp that sounds superb for being a solid state amp and the price is just to hard to pass up.
I would recommended this to anyone looking to buy an entry level Marshall amp and doesn't want to break the bank to do it either. Also, for someone who would like to play and jam silently at home or in the office and wants to have a decent tone as well.
