    Nothing to add.

    UTILIZATION

    Nothing to add.

    SOUNDS

    Then I tried several times this amp music store.
    The sound is quite unworthy of the brand.

    At first I thought the sound came from rotten inserts digital effects.
    So I disabled all digital effects and well it was a little better, but the sound still sounded synthetic.
    Bizarre, because the base there is a transistor amp.

    Compared to my Valvestate 8080, there is clearly far behind.
    Yet at the time the Valvestate was just the equivalent range in Marshall.

    To believe that most advance technology and most manufacturers take us out of low quality junk.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Enough said.

    Characteristics have already been mentioned. This is a normal transistor combo with everything you need, sufficient connectivity and a series of mediocre integrated effects.

    This is supposed to be a 100W.

    Before continuing, let me not being too critical transistor amps. There are very good (for example the famous roland jc50), and most pedals overdrive / distortion / fuzz are generally worshiped transistor.

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple, but impractical. There is an absurd volume difference between channels, it takes a long look before adjusting the sound.

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple, but impractical. There is an absurd volume difference between channels, it takes a long look before adjusting the sound.

    The difficulty of adjusting the sound is very painful and makes the amp almost unusable as a group. Lambda beginner guitarist who does not get along in the mix will quickly abandon the EQ too painful and simply increase the volume of the amp. Bad idea.

    The amp is heavy and difficult to move. In addition, the plastic handle contains a metal blade, which after a few months of wear, will be happy to hack your little fingers on each transport.

    SOUNDS

    I believe it not suitable for any style of music. It is supposed to be typed hard rock, but the loadings are filthy, the sound does not penetrate the mix, there is no dynamic, ...

    What kinds of sounds? In short: no depth. In full, a dry sound in the treble and mushy in the bass. In short, the opposite of what I want.

    I played this amp with a telecaster and a les paul. The Telecaster is a great guitar. In both cases, I found his way when I played alone. And out of the mix group, only the telecaster pulls out of the game coming out his trump "bridge pickup shrill".

    And more ...

    What are the sounds you prefer? No

    0 I do not because I played worse: 15W marshall of the same range, and even worse, a stagg amp travel.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The "amp" is a typical gotcha. We do believe that the young beginner can have a Marshall (tatataaa), and "sound" of legend that has shaped the rock for a price "honest", he needs 100W for group play (although no, really it is not necessary promised). But in fact, the amp that buys young beginner is simply a dung with its lamentable.

    I tried many other models? I am not a connoisseur, but I'm not deaf either. This amp is bad, and this is one of the worst quality reports / price that I know. The buyer pays the foremost brand.

    I insist! As a group, this amp is UNUSABLE!

    I do not recommend this amp to anyone. If you're new, you're not sure what to choose, you're on a budget, buy a modeling amp.

    The configuration of the amplifier is simple, easy to use, so little positive. The effects are easy to build on this pa real problem. To find a good sound .. good luck everyone orez you need!

    SOUNDS

    The problem is the sound! At first you say yeah we're going to marshall a treat! But soon we return to earth ... Its pretty bad ... to be a shit. In the same price range there are a lot better! I tried with my SG so-so, nothing has pulled the same with a Fender Telecaster with an Ibanez GIO even worse! The sound is flat is not recognize marshall! So we get very easily sound shit

    I use it in high school and frankly it's not even fun to play with her! Bn is the transistor, but good nonetheless. The value for money ... price too expensive for what it is I know not what Marshall wanted to do with her!

    Amplification transistor.
    100 watts.
    Connectivity enough complte (effects loop, CD input, RCA) output HP.

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is fairly simple and more with a manual, it's going.

    As against to get a good sound, I struggled and I will have more because I do not play again the above.

    SOUNDS

    I must say that this amp is not suitable at all my style of music (Rock, Blues and other research)

    I jou over with my Rickenbacker, Tlecaster, Gibson, Jazzmaster.

    Unfortunately this amp does not ring.

    In the limit but it is clear crunch, distortion: yuck

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used in troubleshooting time of my retubing Studiotone Koch.
    Needless to say it has nothing to do and I have a hard time with that MG100.

    The report is difficult to judge qualitprix because I did not recognize a lot of quality.
    It's (very) bad Marshall.

    I would never advise this amp even someone less fortunate. There are other amps that price and much better.

    100W transistor amp, 0 lamps. Two channels, one clean and overdrive, switchable via the button "Select Channel" or sold with the pedal. There's an entry "cd in" to watch a movie when your speakers are dead and a headphone output to not disturb the neighbors (stupid, taking a much smaller amp or preamp plugged into the PC). There's already some terrible effects on the amp, ie reverb, chorus, delay, chorus-delay (yes), and another super ugly effect.

    So basic amp, nothing + nothing less.

    UTILIZATION

    UTILIZATION

    So. We plug his guitar and we play basically that's it. To the question "Do you get easily a good sound?", The answer is no, no, not always. Even with all the goodwill in the world you can not do anything with this crap.

    Otherwise, the volume of the effects loop I dropped two years ago. Ideal for the effects of type of shit amp, not able to do anything.

    SOUNDS

    ABOVE ALL, but then MOSTLY. That prospective buyers do not read reviews of this amp incensing shit. They are liars. We can not do anything to this amp. I mainly use an LTD EC-500 EMG 81/60 rise, and no sounds except for the feedback and harmonics.

    I play mostly metal, but also rock, funk, pop. It is absolutely despicable. The clean is super flat and cold, forced to put the reverb so that it goes a bit. The equalizer is laughable, it only serves to switch from "low shit" to "sharp shrill". In crunch / overdrive, it goes a little better anyway, but it's still very unclear and ugly. Once you start playing a little arpeggio stupid looking open-hand, it makes a big commotion and no one picks up nothing. Even amp Vikernes Nocturno Culto or sounds better than that.

    The worst part of this amp, if you switch the channel "clean" to "overdrive", volume increases with death alone, about 50% less! I'm always on your ass even 2 years later.

    My solution, it was just to put myself on the clean channel and use a MT-2 pedal for distortion. Ben to play riffs in the bass is really horrible but it's still better than overdrive, but important not to try to play a solo or anything. Another thing, the sound is different depending on where you stand. Ideal

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been 3 years that I have, I bought a friend who stopped the guitar. I have not tried much, and good, I took it because I played a small 10W, it was barely a year since I played.

    The pros: if you always played on a transistor amplifier 10W, if you are deaf, or if you are just stupid, you will love this MG100DFX
    The -: value for money horrible, its disgusting at all levels, super heavy, unreliable.

    With experience, I do not do it again this election, normal. I'm saving now to buy a head ENGL Powerball with a lil practice Mesa, finally pro gear ...

    PS: Leaving to put 200 + € in an amp, because you're tired of your little 10W, a tip: if you do not do concerts, buy yourself a tube amp 5W or 10W. Otherwise, opt for a modeling amp. And if you want an amp transistor, avoid using the infamous shit, Marshall and avoid if you want to play metal.

    else but with his guitar makes a lot
    are a lot of versatility in this amp
    but its still a beginner amp
    has this price is better now buy a good used amp in my opinion but for a transistor amp! it's rock =)

    OVERALL OPINION

    good advice to the people! with friends was mounted a 3 guitarist we all bought the same amp! after 2 years! the 3 0 amp bought works!
    So beware this amp is cursed! do not buy it!
    Yet they were not moved, nor martirisé They stayed in a room, a temperature difference of labri! and no! they still failed!
    So a really crappy amp! annoyed because his pay 350 euro for nothing TT
    good luck on those scratch Friend
