All user reviews of 3/5 for the Marshall MS-2

I purchased this from electrohill in London, for £19.95, I needed something to carry around on holiday, so I don't lose touch with my guitar (sounds sad)

Its so handy to use and carry. You can clip it on to your trousers, so you can walk around with it. Its suprisingly loud for its size, if you turn the knob to the "OD" option, its quite loud. It has a handy headphone input, good for when you jam to yourself.

Theres nearly no bass in the sound what so ever. I can understand that for its size. The battery rounds out pretty quickly. It has no decent distortion. Just a basic rough sound. Other than that stuff, its quite decent

Its a hard plastic, so its pretty strong. Yet at the same time, if you drop it, theres a fairly good chance it might get damaged.

If you need something very small, yet handy, this will do the job. No distortion, so you might have to pack your effects pedals with this one. Fairly decent for its price. If you want a louder version of this, the Marshall MS-4 would be ideal.

Volume, plus an inter Tone On / Off / Light / saturbr /> No effects

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration
rglages simple but practically useless. We obtain easily the sound of the amp, the same all the time its more or less dirty.
No need for manual

SOUNDS

It should be one style of music: rhythm and blues fat and slow, using the clean channel (the sound is still saturated), but the bottom volume.
I use it with a guitar WHALE terrible.
The sound goes from crunch correct (clean channel) I like the saturated dgueu (channel trs saturqui is ugly.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one month in addition to my VOX AD30VT for fun and DLIR.
I like the crunch of the channel clear.
This is my first trip amp.
It is all the same price for what it is. You pay the brand.
With the exprience I would do not have that choice, it sr.

All dja t say on the subject ... 2W amps, electric guitar input jack, sound output jack. One volume, one tone and an ON / OFF button to switch from clean to overdrive.

And I say frankly, it's the little prfr family. Small and portable lg any o. Sr is, it can not compete with the sound of my Line 6 Spider III 120 ... But I find it quite fun. To me, who do not like the marshall ... It surment the best of Fast Fashion marshall amps: Drle in form, lg battery and so on ...

Price level I did not really plainds ... Its price is the biggest scam in the world of amps.

UTILIZATION

Uh ... ? If I told you that my sister would be the 3-year rgl ... It surment the amps and the easiest musical instrument which I had faced up now! Ms. my guitars are harder rgler ... L over her pretty surprised me! M'enfin must say that his amp is a "journey"

SOUNDS

Like Saturator ... The sound is really bad either in clean or overdrive. Although the amp when pushed to its maximum volume, may have felt a little distortion which can be interresting. I use the same one as G2.1u pedals. I am the branch with the amp when the mood gives me because I use this amp plutt in the yard ... And this tends to weigh down the bag dja heavy. M'enfin, for such a small amp ... I t surprised by his power and above I do not plaind! It's much better than doing an hour's drive on the bus with a 120W amp on the knees, not counting the guitar and the bag.

I play a Gibson Les Paul Custom Ibanez RG & a ... And the sound is not provided extras. But I think this amp out of the mouth.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm telling you now ... If he stayed in the store or I'm going to a mini Fender xemplaire I orais contribution made by the Marshall. M'enfin, the desire of a small amp and made me feel like I could not take his rsister despite the brand Marshall amps. It made me laugh ... M'enfin, I would do no such purchase provided.

2W amp pocket transistor with a guitar input, volume, tone, selector hors-tension/clean/Overdrive and headphone (6.3 mm).
He sticks a 9V battery in the ass and can play a very reasonable time rather (autonomy can really win a trip).

UTILIZATION

No need to book from the moment we know that this object is primarily used for connecting an electric guitar to amplify the signal.
Considering the simplicity, you'll need 10 minutes or less to go around the possibilities and give you a notice before buying.

SOUNDS

Mode "Clean" does not deserve its name: it must turn the volume to mask the sound of the guitar body itself and we arrive quickly at a CRUCH not very accurate but very round: the knob tone is very effective with this mode and provides a good range of different sounds.

If you prefer the overdrive you will be served: the user "Overdrive" spits, surprisingly given the size of the box and displayed 2W. This time it's really very, very bold, but we manage to qualify by playing with the knobs on the guitar and the tone.

The lack of adjustment of the "drive" is actually not a big problem: this amp is not designed to do in the precision and it still hurt to possibilities of sound, especially playing on the pitch (that even bluffing).

OVERALL OPINION

I think the sound quality compared to the a priori one might have overlooked a small plastic box. on the other hand, is it worth its price? I confess that I find it hard to make me an opinion on that. Chances are that we do pay Marshall the display of its logo ...

I still have to put a big damper on the quality of design: I'm dropping slightly the headphone jack (when I plug in a) if the speaker is not active, the knobs start to stick and crack (that said, I have already seen much worse on the amps yet more pretentious). It is also thought to pinch out flap that hides the battery under penalty hearing vibrate unpleasantly.

My brother did not look at the competition before offering it to me and I never played another amp of this caliber. But given the notice: I think I would see the side of Vox, Fender and Orange before the election again. However, I do not regret owning it because he can play anywhere (even while cooking ...) without the constraints that I have with my Peavey Classic 30.

(Originally written by Saturator/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
2 watt solid-state amp with guitar input and external PSU input. Controls: volume and tone knobs, on/off and clean/overdrive combo-switch.

It's quite basic but enough for a "nomad" amp. I like the funny "Playmobil" touch but I broke the reinforcement bar of the speaker and I had to open the amp to replace it. Two watts of power are enough, but the device is a bit too fragile considering the price.

UTILIZATION

It cannot be easier.

Clean/overdrive selection switch, volume and tone controls and that's it!

I didn't need the user's manual.

SOUNDS

The amp doesn't have a real clean sound and the overdrive sound is very dirty. In OD mode, high volume settings produce a quite intense but not too metallic distortion. As a summary, it's a travel amp. Don't expect to make rehearsals with it because you'll only get an annoying sound (if someone ever hears you).

I use it with a compact multi-effects processor (Zoom G2) to have more possibilities and a better sound. It allows me to emphasize the distortion sound and to get a better dynamic response using amp models. But considering the size of the speaker, a lack of lows is unavoidable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for about one year and I like it because it's the only really small and light travel amp. I didn't try out other products. I just wanted an amp to hear my guitar when I practice in places like school, for example. I find the price is somewhat high considering the sound quality and the sturdiness. I would buy it again because it's the only real travel amp. If you want a better sound you'll have to add a compact multi-effects processor, like I did, but it increases the price of the system, which then becomes a bit expensive (luckily, I already had an effects processor).
