MGR/Jared « Marshall G80-RCD Combo (MG Series) »
Published on 02/14/02 at 15:00 I bought my baby at a little shop in East Brighton called World of Music. I'd been looking for a large-ish combo to practice on and at the time this was Marshall's non-valve combo. The RRP on the amp was $750 (Australian Dollars)
When I first rang the store, they quoted me $650 for it. So I rang another store and told them I'd been offered $650 and asked them if they could beat this price. They wanted the sale so they said they'd give it to me for $599.
So then I rang back to World of Music and told them I'd been offered a price under $600 but said I'd rather not discuss the exact ammount over the phone. The guy went and had a chat with the manager and then came back and told me they were cutting their own throats but they'd give it to me for $565 which is a profit markup of ZERO!
So that's how I got my $750 amp for $565 and saved $185.
This lil' beauty has a MASSIVE tone range. The clean channel is bright and warm sounding, the overdrive channel can purr like a kitten in creamy old-style distortion or squeal harmonics in thrash style super heavy gain and everything in between.
The CD input is an added bonus which I use to plug a mic into for when I'm just practing.
I got no gripes with my baby, except its weight, but I can live with a heavy amp.
Maybe it could do with more than one guitar input jack.
Beautiful craftsmanship, solid as a rock. I never had any problems with it.
I LOVE this amp, it suits any style of music I wanna play and it has GREAT sound for a combo.
My old guitar is a pile of poo but it still sounds great through this amp.
I really recommend you buy this amp!!!
