  iamqman's review "Best $100 you'll spend. "

  Characteristics

  This 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.

  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

  At new these amps come in at around $ 99 which in my opinion is an absolute steal of a price for what you get. 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.

  Overall Opinion

  Sound control, £60. I bought it becuase it was the adequate watts and good price for starter
  
  
  
  It sounds nice, in fact very nice!
  
  
  
  The controls are a bit confusing but thats just because im thick
  
  
  
  English made, you cant get much better! Very well made, ive kicked it, sat on it, thrown it and nothing has happened.
  
  
  
  If you like me are buying a guitar and amp, try and strike a deal with the salesman to get the it cheaper. Because you could go elsewhere and they want your cash

  Characteristics

  Overall Opinion

  Muscians friend, it was cheap and I wanted a cheap Marshal amp, I paid $100.
  
  
  
  Its small, has great tone and lots of features. Its the best practice amp you can buy if you are just starting to play guitar. Plays weel at high and low volumes and can be used for any style of music. The CD in and emulated line out are great plusses too. Its not too heavy, not too light, not too loud, not too quiet and definately not too expensive. Its just right.
  
  
  
  Not quite loud enough for jamming with a band if you have a loud drummer or bassist. I dont like the contour feature on the EQ that much.
  
  
  
  Very durable. Has survived 4 years of college and several viscious attacks from my dog.
  
  
  
  The best practice/beginner amp. Make this your first amp.

  Overall Opinion

  Bought at Sam Ash.sold for 99.99 but out of the box so 5 dollars off. marshall is like top of the line and has a lot of distortion.
  
  
  
  it has a lot of distortion and it is easy to set the equilizer (seeing as the equilizer has only three knobs).it is of decent size and sound.i thought 15W wasnt loud but if you turn the volume to 5-7 it is enough to hear from your driveway.
  
  
  
  it has i lot of backround sound and that's about it.
  
  
  
  it is of good quality seeing as it is Marshall.
  
  
  
  good beginner amp or to practice backstage

  Overall Opinion

  I bought this little amp at a pawn shop for 90 bucks. I'm in a band, just started playin the guitar about 2 years ago. I needed an amp that could be heard over my friends drumming. So I bought this little baby to try out.
  
  
  
  This amp is the best. I didn't have a whole lot of money so I was looking for quite a while to get a good one. Man it sounds great. It is extremly loud. Lol my friend's mom is always yellin at us to "Turn that damn thing down." I've got a fender srat and it just goes perfect with this amp. Best lil amp i'll ever buy.
  
  
  
  Well I wish it had some mroe effects on it but theres the MG15cddfx for that other than that its awesome!
  
  
  
  Solid. thats all I have to say here.
  
  
  
  Best amp for the price. And if your like me and don't have more than 200 bucks to go with pick one of these babys up today!

  darkriderpaul's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Transistor amplifier with an output of 15 watts. Line in / out, headphone jack. Connector jack in 6mm. EQ: trebble, bass, contour. 2 independent channels, no footswitch. reverb springs integrated process that emulates FDD more or less the sound of a tube amp.

  Utilization

  Configuration does not exist. Whatever it is plug and play settings. Manual? bah ... not open. Do you get a good sound easy? uh ... Is obtained easily and it's not bad. He collects everything, including dynamic microphones and mp3. I'm pretty sure that with a low there would be no problem.

  Sounds

  Marshall is the legend! but without proper lights ... it is a little less legendary. We come to an agreement right away: this amp is not made for a pleasant sound. is made to send some of his home to train, develop barre.le clear sound is quite steep, but with a bit of reverb it gets pretty. The FDD switch is required 100% of the time, otherwise we will retouve with a raucous "hidden" ... I do not know if I'm making myself clear. ith the button, it is far from the lights but the sound is a bit more now. I do not understand the point of having replaced the Middle adjustment for me indispensable EQ contour by a button rather ineffective. I find more distortion propore inoperative, but quite enjoyable for a student. on the other hand is a nice testing ground for the pedals, that much cash, and the amp is quite clear in its friendly character of the guitar (stratocumulus and paul for me.) Brf, the sound is not great. Besides, very few of breath, and cash almost anything (bass, microphone, mp3)

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for 3 years, it was my first amp. It is no longer manufactured now, and I replaced by a more powerful vox. Incidentally I always use to travel. First, because the clean sound is exploitable, and the animal is especially robust in robust! No digital, real connections that hold the road, cash anything (except a knife, the grid is a simple cloth). He traveled in the Pyrenees, in Germany, southern France, and is currently with me in Austria. No loss of sound, no power loss. it's solid solid home. In the hold of a bus or in a rickety plane, it is equally at ease, arrived safely at their destination, and even if he falls he gets up.
  
  With my experience, I tell myself that the resale price of the craft will never be equivalent to the services it continues to offer. For coffee concerts it is even sufficient for an apartment that's cool. externalities well received, power friendly, spring reverb, portability, with the new battery amps I do not know if it would be a good choice, but 3 years ago, it's worth it. Afterwards, as the main amp, for sure it is light.

  Kingbykers's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  First Class is a 15W amp transistor.Je have the REU in 'heritage' of my brother who bought a tube combos ... Although the MG15CD is one of the smallest of the Marshall family, he is pretty well ... the little button FDD (simulation lamp) is very well done, compared to a 5W all-tube amps Harley Benton GA5.Mais good c is not the same as light ... sounds Cot rglage are not masses of opportunities ... In his clear enough rglo c ... c in overdrive is not really bright ... button to gain you can not put more than 6 / 10 draft and if c is drooling and even before ... If the EQ is quite efficasse.Ah yes ... I also 'scratched' with a stratocaster (Alba) and a Harley Benton Duke 100.Malgr gnre it all a lot of volume , I have often in trouble with my voisins.Le qualitprix report ... is much better, for example: a lamp combos Harley Benton GA5 cheaper and c is that of happiness (my brother and I play it often ...) and then the famous Vox Pathfinder 10 ... n I've heard that the boxes ...

  Utilization

  - The configuration is it simple?
  
  YES
  
  - Gets it easy to sound good?
  
  6 / 10
  
  - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
  
  J Eeeeeh ... I never had a manual! And all fawn yen is really no need

  Sounds

  See above ...

  Overall Opinion

  I use and the cost (c my brother before silent) from about 2 to 3 years.
  
  The only thing I can say is that it c can buy much better for that price ...

  molimo's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Base of the transistor, the regulation of bases, a hp "8" MG series (called "custom loudspeaker").

  Utilization

  Mega simple, you put more acute for the more pronounced acute, you put more reverb for more reverbe.Puis are two buttons gains is to tamper with a joking looking for a distortion pr cise.Du "mtal" to "rock" through a p'tit drive.Pour beginners wanting to taste all the rack is not bad.

  Sounds

  The bottom not expect a sound that Young or the Hendrix.On is a 15 watt transistor 140 bananes.Meme crazy with guitars (I tried with a team of 79 Gibson P90 and piphone tampered with "texas spcial tlcaster"!) g bah like a Rockwood (Honing) connected to a hi-fi (j'exagre a little). .. But in the price range is not bad when meme.J 've tried other stuff like a Mega Drive ... bah is worst at worst! There's a peavey once that m' hole had the buttocks but I reminds me the most MODEL (DSOL)!

  Overall Opinion

  Friends beginners guitar if you look for versatility in your game and to beginners like me you did not have a radish bah yeah, this amp could do the trick.
