    I play an Ibanez RG 2001 in Japan rises in HS8, electronic blind not rotten and the sound is pathetic. this amp does not even stand!

    I support the clear sound. the distortion? can we talk about distortion? the return of the killer bees ... HP in the 1.5 "I then had the IDE to test it with an overdrive and a headphone: what cot always bee but it becomes more honest (but I plugged my overdrive dja live in a headphone and had a better sound ...)

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been six months that I screwed up in a closet. Take a gadget is a V-amp used or new ca be 10x better you can record, play and even headphones you use the vamp as the Valvestate prampli your friend (yeah my buddy has a Valvestate stack and the sound is strangely close to the C-MS2 guards all proportions)
    finally I was expecting a 30 amp in small plywood with a small clean sound nice! not a toy that resembles a curio way (if standing ...) made in china!
    non is shit get something more srieux drop dung that I saw for that price a ibanez 4w transition on eBay and has a wood cabinet and a 3-hp "for 40! So scratch on occasion but the sound will always be "toy"!

    would it be an amp for children? no power, just a battery, ... Bontempi the amps?

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration is it simple?

    besion not have been ena to understand how to use 3 portards and plug a cable into the hole or there is described "in" ...

    - Gets it easy to sound good?

    bah in clean, we do not hear them at an interesting level, but always unpeu higher than the non-branch scratches.

    if not for the distortion, I usually play on disto fairly thin as mesa or Soldano (in amp simulator), is the sound that I did not use a distortion very similar to "one day in France "black version of the cd in a little dirty
    but hey do not forget that this amplifier costs only 50 and is obviously not comparable to "real" amp ...

    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

    I have not opened, really useless, except to pass the time with some reading during the course of philosophy.

    SOUNDS

    - Is it your style of music?

    not really but I adapt has made me discover new style, so in the end quite beneficial

    - With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
    Start with us, sometimes a lag has a buddy, and soon a peavey vortex.

    - What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
    distortion of pretty grimey and slobbery, Marschall's what ^ ^

    - What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest?
    I would not hate it but the clean is not terible vriament

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?
    I have been with me for a week but I'd often try in-store before

    - What is the particular feature you like best and least?
    + Price
    + Cot the gadget with the luxury Marchall
    -Clear sounds underpowered
    -Lack of a separate volume knob for gain, the very large defect that makes me hesitate to rapproter the store, and take the fender which has a

    SOUNDS

    Well, as said before not expect an amp, even a champion in 15-watt Fender sounds better. the channel clear of food grain scratches connected ... my Deluxe Start takes a hell of a slap, so typical sounds are absent ... no fishing, no grain ... not transcendent! od channel is better, potato, and pushing volume, distortion is not too bad, and sends a 2W ca ... after, I do not think it's possible to work the sound, apart from plugging the pedals, but this moment is more in the mind wandering;)
    I put 5 ... Hurts limit sick at heart to put a 5 to a marshall but hey it is not his strong point, and it is not designed to sound good ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had two weeks ... I prefer it on my JVM 410, there's no photo ... but for going out with friends to the sea, the holiday clio, breaks at work or relaxing in the garden, it's quite the case. if you buy this amp, it's only for a bit of his was lugging anywhere, not for the amp that kills. J'dirai it's not a toy, even if not breathing quality (made in china ...), but it's handy!
    I put 8 as the use that I made quite suits me!

    SOUNDS

    In his view it is the horror: a clear: where? Saturation: awful!
    Made to play without distortion be difficult even for an amp of this size!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Object rather close to a toy and difficult to use. Fender and Orange competition is over: sounds more versatile, less drafts and wood construction.
    This amp is sold because it has the signature Marshall.

    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.

    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.

    Marshall MS-2Published on 05/20/09 at 10:22
    The Marshall MS-2 is a solid state, extremely small and portable guitar amplifier. It contains only a measly single watt and is powered either by a nine volt battery or a power supply. It has the look of a real Marshall stack and it really does pack a lot of punch for such a small amp. It has a 1/4 inch input in the front of it and the power supply isn't included with the amp.

    UTILIZATION

    Using the Marshall MS-2 mini amp is a really easy thing to do as it only has a limited number of parameters. The amp has knobs for volume, tone, and a fixed knob to choose between on, off, or overdrive. It couldn't be any easier to use this amp and anyone with any experience at all with guitar amp…

    UTILIZATION

    Using the Marshall MS-2 mini amp is a really easy thing to do as it only has a limited number of parameters. The amp has knobs for volume, tone, and a fixed knob to choose between on, off, or overdrive. It couldn't be any easier to use this amp and anyone with any experience at all with guitar amps will have no troubles at all. Even if you've never seen a guitar amp before, I would bet you could figure it out in a minute. I don't have the manual for the Marshall MS-2, so I can't say how helpful it is or not but the amp is extremely easy to use and you really don't need it if you don't already have it.

    SOUNDS

    The sound of the Marshall MS-2 is surprisingly pretty good considering it only has a single watt of power. Of course it is limited in its use because of its small size, but does have both a pretty good clean and overdrive tone. While its really designed for portable practicing, which is what is really excels in, I've also heard of people using this for recording with good results. I haven't had the chance yet to try it out myself, but it makes sense because of the loud tone you can get in such a small amp. While this won't rival the sound of any larger Marshall amp or otherwise, considering the small size it has a pretty impressive sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Marshall MS-2 for about three or four years and I've found it to be a great little amp. If you are looking for a cheap, reliable and portable amp to practice with on the go, the Marshall MS-2 is your best bet. It packs a huge sound for a single watt amp and you won't be disappointed unless you are expecting too much. The price is extremely cheap and of all the little amps out there, this is my favorite. If you want a portable amp for practicing, the Marshall MS-2 is a fine choice.

    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).
