All user reviews for the Marshall MG100DFX

Any transistor amp - There's no doubt about it!
100w
built-in effects (chorus, reverb, delay, flanger, reverb)
HP port, headphone, line, effects loop

EQ bass / medium / high on clean and overdrive

Setting level built-in effects, effects loop

Very complete, level setting and connection.

UTILIZATION

EQ on the clean channel ineffective - the adjustments do not change the sound almost - but lousy EQ is more effective in crunch or OD. But it's still not great.

The passage in the canal clean crunch turns direct overdrive last quarter of the setting ...

Setting effects (chorus, delay, etc.) is just as pathetic: Should be super accurate like 1:32 or we turn a switch direct effect on the other. Good luck to fine-tune the delay ...

SOUNDS

What can I say? I never heard such a sound on an amp of this price!
Amazing what this amp can sound out like mush.

In short, sound really shit but in Hell!

The clean sound is muffled and flat. The EQ is useless, impossible to catch the sound! While Marshall has never been an expert on this, then this peak. If you activate the crunch on the clean channel, it turns direct overdrive. And what overdrive ...

Now lets in Marshall's specialty: the saturated his ...
Sad, pathetic, disgusting, aggressive, screaming. This is what might be described boosted channel of this amp. 100% pure transistor radio alarm clock cheap at full power!
It is between the Fuzz and the amp that clips ...

Out of curiosity, I tried it with a 4x12 cabinet Ibanez. Here, the sound is pretty clear - a lot of punch and enough relief. But distortion, just as bad.
Clearly, the HP of the MG100 is really crappy and needs to be replaced. But is it worth to buy this combo once to replace the HP? No, I do not think so!

1 / 10 because its light is usable for some. But to love.

OVERALL OPINION

THIS AMP IS A SHAME! thanks to him, the Marshall Valvestate I found not so good, go back much in my esteem!

The saturated sound reminds me of my mini Marshall stack 2w cell more powerful.
The effects are nazes, the clean channel to cry. And then they must stand the noise of the fan ...

Pay more than € 300 for this ampl ... thing, No. Better to go for the price of Hughes & Kettner, Vox or Fender.
The Park 15w amp I owned 10 years ago sounded no worse ...
It is clear that if you think you have the "Marshall sound" with this box of noise is that you always think that Santa Claus exists! I would not even play this thing for Punk super yucky. A limit to the trash ...

I do not recommend it to anyone. Or a beginner, much less a pro.
Ultimately, if you really want the MG100, go for the head version sound better with a good cabinet that the combo version.

In any case, it is the first time that I issue an opinion as negative material.

Transistor with FDD technology "simulates" an amp lamps, 100 Watts RMS, sufficient connection with same output emul HP / headphones and a CD input! Ah think Marshall has everything ...

UTILIZATION

Config mauel simple clear sound all the more easily obtained that the effects are built into the amp is not poor quality

SOUNDS

Good clear sound and crunchy => regardless of the output level

OVERALL OPINION

1 week of use excellent amp for this price. A stronger presence than the 212 R fenfer but good tastes and colors!
I will buy the 50 Watts can be less heavy and powerful enough for a small scene.

Marshall while transistor
100 watts
Integrated effects: chorus delay flanger, distortion
medium and low acute SETTINGS =)
check out the official site marshall because I am lazy
8 for all features

UTILIZATION

Tapuya button to alum, we must avoid putting it in the fleet, ect ... not to play too hard ... ect
is a fan that makes a little buit at first, but rolls ca, ca fate puree

SOUNDS

In so cool points and points - cool

effects ..... of shit in a box .... I have a pedal effect boss put a foot so I f ** men !!!!!
the distortion is a bit better now but still! I have my pedals I f **

Then there is a amp simulation, I always play with the sound is not bad!
an amplifier for me what is it, amp: common name: -----> amplifier for power .... is to send the sauce !!!!!!!! banzai! Deep Purple have better watch out! (In rock and it's all made in japan!)

9 because it's the racket and it works well!

a lot also its floydien

OVERALL OPINION

Next time, my music will evolve .... I turn towards the blues ect amps, jazz ....

Fill in you this: it's an amp to send the sauce (but how have done so have already sent a puree!)

value for money quite a lot!

ca not worth a light tt the same, but you need to know to play well and have the dosh!

See previous comments

UTILIZATION

For the conf, nothing but classical simulation of a tube amp that I turn all the time because the sound is really hotter! (Frankly, I understand too the idea of ​​a button for it, put it in as hard! But ...)

SOUNDS

Initially I was looking for a mid-range amp because I had no money at all for lampe.Pour sound is round, very round! a crystal clear channel and a very nice one od correct. The 2 is not for me because I am very blues-rock.

It's a versatile amp for repeat training or small - I have a Start and a + a johnson acoustic electric. He is doing pretty good. There are better but more expensive. Note the effects pedal with switchable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years.
I liked its versatility
I trust the brand by buying ... after trying a lot of stews in the same price range and better than twice the price. The value for money is finally good.
Under the same conditions (personal situation and budget) I recommancerai. Farting against it by tomorrow, I'll buy any light but now I have more resources and more experience. In truth, nine to 350 €, the risk is minimal.

100watt power transistor amplifier input and output jack
clean distortion effects, reverb effects in short normal marshall

UTILIZATION

When one knows nothing about setting too triturated the button in all directions but when it's used you can really have its near perfect!

SOUNDS

Excellent quality but I put 8 because there's breath when you plug the guitars of shit (unlike vox) and its lack of clean grain in love at all if not excellent reverb and distortion can be achieved almost perfect Yamaha AES with a 420 for example (with the outline for metalheads is the top)

OVERALL OPINION

Very good amp at this price (there is a € 250 on nine sites) it is vrailment the coup but then it was worth € 500 is twice as expensive for 500 € and frankly we are disappointed but it's super a quality amp with a distortion of a sick and very typical clean. I would not make that choice in my opinion, I would have taken a vox or EAR ... Now it is my opinion this amp is a very good amp anyway especially for € 250! (I put 10 of 10 for that matter)

Same as the previous descriptions

UTILIZATION

Very very simple setup, very nice.
settle its own is easy, no need to book.

it includes the only 2 seconds "delicate" of the amp for the effects: Only one knob to 4 effects.

SOUNDS

Suitable for my style (rock, pop, electro ...)
I play with a Gibson ES335 and a strat Japan.

I had to take this one As the previous occasion I had bought me released.
It was a marshall VS80 and then I go to 100DFX: Nothing to see!

Lack of depth of sound, I can not find the Big Son Marshall, at least this depth I repeat, was in the valvestate80 which however was not phenomenal (but very good qd mm).

The clean is pretty cold, but should, because not yucky. The OD1 is sizzling, not so hot, the "crunch" of the overdrive is very sizzling (if that ca marshall at all) but is still correct. The OD2 is a caricature of saturation, I think I will use it forever!

The effects are average: the former has reverb, flanger average chorus goes mouai ca. But if you have your pedals, you do not will never use.

OVERALL OPINION

Basically, if I bought was for a neighboring power amp not bad and cheap, which sends a minimum of volume on stage, and I can take him to concerts in humid or "dodgy" has instead of my Vox AC30.

I paid 200 euros, almost new. But it is clear that it is not worth my old Valvestate 80 that I've had for a week before the exchange with this one because of its clear who disappeared at once. (And I do not compare with my Vox AC will be ridiculous)

But what I wanted I am confused.

on the other hand, if you want a good amp with a sound as it should, because you are tired of your little aria 15 watt transistor you buy at the same tps as your first guitar you 15 years, go your way: Take rather that of a 15W lamp that will fill you completely even if the price is higher. Because shit, music is sound first, then you better be it good!

Amp-transistor
Power-100W (note this is a transistor)
-Effects: chorus / delay, delay, chorus, flanger, reverb

UTILIZATION

-Configuration is very simple. You can get a wide enough range of sound in looking around. The Foot Switch (pedal connected) to switch to go from clean to overdrive, and also enable the effects.
-To get a good sound!! bin after several years of use I would say that each loves his own sound and that it dépant enormously from scratch that you use. Let me explain: With a Squier (affinity), well the sound is not great despite the adjustments, especially in overdrive. A friend came with a Yamaha, and you get a sound of metal (pretty decent I must say, and especially net). After you plug a Les Paul style guitar and Fender Stratocaster ... the amp can really express themselves and you can millimeters your settings.
The manual-I did not read

SOUNDS

-It suits me perfectly for my style of music.
-I play with a Fender Highway One Stratocaster LH and a Boss DS1 distortion for (although a good guitar with the distortion of Marshall is quite correct. After I played with a Gibson Les Paul Studio and the sound is also not bad (for those who love the sound Gibson). With a Squier is more than hum and distortion in this one sounds pan ...
-We will get crystal clear sound with a fender beautiful and good settings that will cause to be paid a small tear or a sound to Hendrix and you will get a sound to the TDCA with Gibson.
Sonnorités-I prefer: clean channel and crunh
-I hate Sonnorités: overdrive channel with gain on the bottom (it messes up the amp for that matter) made of metal and contour.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years now. Still, I have tried other amps but since it is by far the one that suits me the most.
-Feature I like most: the sound is very clean and not rough
-Feature I like least: ventillo small imperfection that makes noise at startup (for 2 minutes max)
-Value / very good price if you love this amp. 3 years that I use and I never wanted to change it.
With experience, I do it again this choice (without hesitation)
Finally, I would say it is better to try it with his guitar before you buy! Just because it's a great guitar amp that you will come out first prize in the Hendrix sound. For me the guitar is essential ... a meditation

Between a Jack.
A headphone or external speaker
a connection for the footswitch.

Overdrive channel with two channels ODD1/ODD2

UTILIZATION

Trs use simple manual quasi innutile.
An EQ bass, middle, treble and gain control for each CHANNELS.
A contour control for overdrive (more or less hot)
Four effects (chorus, delay, chorus / flange and delay).
A possibility to put an effects loop.

SOUNDS

First clean the sound:
This amp delivers a clean trs hot (and quite interesting for a while innatendu transistor) I love the sound that is almost magical to play Stairway to Heaven.

The crunch is nice but I do not use it much and I would not give a precise opinion on it.

And finally the overdrive:

Sound with good saturation, its pretty shot metal / hard heavy but with a grain control.

OVERALL OPINION

Trs good report quality price.
I bought 380 euros (but it's already the lower lol), steadily decreasing price.
I use it to make the metal, but both rock and blues and I must admit it has a trs good versatility.
I play with a Squier Showmaster and I try PRS Tremonti SE with and it works just as well.

See more advice.

UTILIZATION

Some people say that the sound sucks, I do not agree ... conducting its own settings you get a good sound (for the transistor) without worry.
Pedal footswitch is nice to go from one channel to another and activate the effects with a very short reaction time.

SOUNDS

I play rock, hard, blues, mainly ACDC ... I have a guitar behringer low end, yet the sound of all gives me total satisfaction ... With a refinement of the saturated channel settings (low, mid, treble, contour, intensity of saturation and saturation volume .. it can happen to reproduce sounds really nice to taste.)
The clean channel is nice with a little reverb is niquel. The crunch is good to note that it can also be activated while playing with the channel saturated, we get a crackling sound really nice by putting the crunch in 1 / 4 ...
I put 10/10, after that depends on the tastes and colors, and the transistor ... it's good.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since July 07, and I tried several other amp before taking it:
Fender FM-12R 100w, 30w Valvetronix Vox, Mesa Boogie F30 30W (for fun .. too much lol), Marshall avt 100w, Line-6 ​​Spider 2 30w ... In the end, I got the MG for € 250, I do not regret that choice, even if putting a few hundred dollars more you get (...) best amps.
My preferred setting: Distortion channel, gain 1.5/10, low 1 / 2, medium-bottomed, sharp 1 / 2, COUTOUR 1 / 10. His tendency to clear with a low saturation which appears ...
A test, I have hung.

See other view, everything has been said. 9, the only weak point is the clean and crunch on the same channel.

UTILIZATION

Config-simplistic, less than nothing to dip amps, it was not to break the head, even beginners.

-Weakness, as I will repeat often, the overdrive and clean are capricious, we must look for long. As against the saturation is cool.

-The manual is very short and is available on the website of Marshall, he gives some good tips to get started. We present a few settings that can help us to give us a track to sound acceptable.

8, the difficulty to find a good overdrive too frustrated me ...

SOUNDS

-I play metal, so I use a lot OD2 channel with gain at 3 / 4 in the carpet or if I want to sound super heavy rhythm, and clean when I practice my exercises blues and jazz my teacher gives me.

"I use an Ibanez SA260FM in clean and overdrive (but I find it difficult to love my overdrive) and a Peavey Rotor EXP (the explorer-like with a floyd rose bridge).

-It happens quite quickly to an acceptable sound by playing a little on the set aside its saturated. However, in overdrive and crunch, it's pretty hardcore, the sound is always too high or too low, too closed or too garish. It takes a long time to find a good sound, and there's a difference between a so huge clean and crunch that you really have to remember its previous settings if you want to waste time going to the crunch. The clean, I think it sounds good, but I must admit I like the sound in general that my Ibanez SA260FM can give me with my microphone to handle clean, very useful for more tips and jazzy blues.

-In short, I like the extreme saturation with which we can all do solos with highs in the background or the rhythm very low, and clean, with good microphones on the guitar. The crunch, I recommend it, and the overdrive is capricious, it is difficult to get a good sound (it is a personal opinion). Unfortunately, I give a 7 for the impossibility of crunch, and the capricious side of the OD1 and clean, although I love the heavy distortion, for a transistor ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year.
"I likes the amp as such, except that it gave me some problems when I started.
"I tried a few models (2-4) in the small shop where I bought my equipment.
-Not too bad, but for an amp that is supposed to be great for the overdrive, I'm a little disappointed in that direction. Good thing I play metal ...

A 8, given that I use, I can not complain too much of overdrive and crunch, I use a lot less, anyway. Although I was not displeased to have a good overdrive, my Ibanez is made for that.

-Transistor amplifier
Amp-powerful 100 watts indicated
-4 Effects, chorus / delay, delay, chorus, flanger + reverb
Approximately nine-390euros 350euros in store and nine on the net.

UTILIZATION

-The setup is pretty simple, I have yet not opened the manual (I just got it).
-Sometimes you have to search for a "good" sound.

SOUNDS

-Should all styles of music, blues, hardrock, except mtal, it is not for. You will get a sound close to ACDC, a sound similar to the sound and hendrix zeppelin ed.
-I play with a guitar Kay type strato brand, but it is quite enough to zero
test the amplifier.
-Beware, the sound is transistor is not super beautiful, Marshall could make an effort, I have a friend who has an Elka transistor in the same genre, I can tell you that the quality is much better .
-I know that my guitar is responsible for "sifflages" but all the same, the vnetilo makes noise, it blows a lot in short ca massacre sounds.
-The effects are quite correct and liked nice.
I find that the lack of an overdrive I sensitivity implies that when you make a solo, you really have to press to get the sound, so to facilitate this, it goes into overdrive 2, and it gr sille ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a day.
The report is qualitprix-limit for 350euros dgot I'm a bit but the fact is that this is one of the few with power amps and a minimum of sound with effects like delay, flanger, for someone who wants to play several styles of music except metal.
-With the exprience I would do can be the choice.
The must with this amp the distortion c 1, pure acdc his well rounded!

Transistor amplifier 100w rms indicated.
Headphone output, CD input, footswitch and effects loop.
Possibility of adding a baffle 4 * 12 for example.
Settings: 2 channels, bright / crunch and overdrive / crunch.
4-band EQ.
3 + 2 effects combined.

10/10

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, it depends on what you mean not configuration, should not be dork to move the knobs. On this side of nothing more simple.
on the other hand to find the desired, adjustments must be made very thin, one can obtain a wealth of character has his marshall with this amp.
The manual was not in the lot (amp demo bought cheaper).

8 / 10 because it can be nice sound by testing combinations but it can take time.

SOUNDS

I play hard, punk, rock, blues: the receiver is adapted to 100%
I have a small behringer microwave double, and I've already played dessu with ESP (for a more accurate and more powerful but that does not justify the price difference between these two guitars).
The clean channel is great especially if you push the gain in depth, it appears a little crunch really famous! As soon as one starts the crunch against it is essential for lowering the gain, the difference in sound output is still quite obvious, but does the crunch is really nice especially with the gain at 2 or 3.
The overdrive channel is suitable for a transistor amp, and with the setting of the contour we can find a variety of sounds really nice, for the transistor. If one engages the overdrive 2, also a fairly large difference of sound is felt, must be lowered if the master can make a jump ... this channel is nice but gets too rough when you push the gain too.
Note that one can also start the crunch channel light playing on the same channel overdrive, the result is a crackling dust that makes its effect! A test!
For the transistor, and for what I play, I put 9 because nothing is perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months without problems.
I love its sound, which are still well-typed marshall contrary to what I read on the net .. With this amp you have a marshall's not as hot and powerful than any lamp, but still quite colorful.
I tested a Vox Valvetronix 30w, 30w a roland cube, a 100w fm12r fender, a marshall avt 100w, a 100w peavey bandit 112 ...
All these are nice amp, but to play with my band and see my budget, I chose the marshall mg (€ 250) because it is one that is closest to my style with the avt, avt but was far too expensive.
I'm not saying buy this amp is already good to have a guitar, even a sound, so I'm just saying it to try.
In the family of transistors, mg of place in the top of the bill, powerful, typed marshall, no maintenance of lamps> economical. 10/10

100w amplifier transistor, two channels: clean (or crunchy) or overdrive (two types). Numriques Intgr effects: reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, an effects loop, from a cd, a headphone output, two buttons footswich (clean / drive and FX on / off, except the reverb ), an unlikely simulator lamps ... All adj t crit on CHARACTERISTICS of the craft. On paper, the possibilities seem plutt many.

UTILIZATION

The knobs are nice enough of them be, should not have done Normale Sup to understand what they do. As for obtaining the sought-l a can be complicated: a transistor Marshall does not have all the qualities of his great ERRF lamps, but it has the assurment d defects. The qualisation (3 knobs per channel, plus the outline for the overdrive) is good, but the tense of rglages less than what is done with Fender and others. Thus, it is possible that you're looking dsesprment sound never find it. If so, is that you tromp your brand.

The main difficulty in using this amp is the management of Difference vomume sound when switching on the clean channel, the clean simple crunch (which can be done at the base, by the way): you must see the gain, see the volume on the guitar, otherwise the ears will bleed ...

The manual ... I do not remember, the one-l. There are suggestions in rglages I have not tried; difficult to give my opinion ...

SOUNDS

Playing mostly rock, I should be happy, I am told.
Its clear this amp does not me, and there must be a package for her a little hot. The crunch is probably the most satisfying of all. The overdrive is not glaobement gnial the ODD1 well rgl can make something decent, Marshall quite a round, but ODD2 draft that is powerful. I prfre the overdrive of my old Ibanez 25w. The effects are Intgr pluttpnibles rgler, including the speed of the flanger or delay, and are extremely cold. The simulation of lamps is a fun oddity: it is clear that a sound better when it is switched on, so why can give us the cut? And good RVer should not mean that it is not at all lights. Obviously, this amp sounds better with my Squier Start with a US ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 5 years. In the era (and still is) the quality-price ratio does not seem dgueu, and he did not in fact silent. If I remember correctly, I bought this amp new for 425 euros the era, on the advice of a friend and without another try. I'm used extensively in RPET and in concert, and yes there has rsist the many journeys. That said, like a friend has the same amp and the same problem, I exposed them. The footswitch has beautiful mtal be in the indoor, trs is fragile, and he like me have to change it. Another view evokes the second problem, and I want to tell him he is not alone: ​​the fan, in addition to noise, is struggling to launch After a few months of use, must turn on the amp and wait a happening ... Also - but I live in the Pas-de-Calais, where it rains all the time - a few knobs srieusement start cracking. Honntement, this amp well dpann me but when I bought it I knew nothing, and I would have to choose a less powerful MODEL. 100w, even in the transistor, a does not grow back to play in cafés or BPS. And when we play indoors, the sound transplanted everything, then has not frankly intrt. After a few years, between the footswitch can lcher any time, the fickle fan, spitting the knobs (especially the master volume, which causes variations of incontrles volume), j 'I find it difficult to trust him. I want my AC30!

That said, I will I even qualify my remarks. My buddy has the same amp and almost the same problem ... love it

100w transistors.
Config classic, with reverb, multi-effects and little touches simulation lamp.
See details below.

UTILIZATION

Usage is quite simple, not need the manual.
2 channels light / crunch and disto1/disto2. Nothing very destabilizing.

SOUNDS

At first a self-efficacy ... then after qqs minutes it was soon ringing ears, not necessarily because of the power but also to the side screaming. Whether plain, crunch or distortion is very aggressive.
After a few years older than the HP's worse! clean out and makes it dull.
I play with a ps2 and a XTone Telecaster (neck pickup though) and the highs are barely 1 / 4 and serious background. I would rarely more than 10 minutes.
The effects work a lot but it's a little gadget for 4 effects a knob with no parameters and no footswitch ... Reverb average.
However, many musicians appreciate it and play all styles, from rock to metal with all gains and volumes in depth, which confirms my idea that a semblance of efficiency! ...
The fan is noisy and it's actually getting worse with time.

OVERALL OPINION

Amplifier used in rehearsal rooms since early 2002. Some repairs, ventilos boring, pb power, violent banging at power ... It must be said that they are widely used (more than 20 hours per week), but compared to H & K Attax tower / rev and Marshall seem worse and less reliable.
The quality / price ratio, however, is not bad, some is better off. I'm not unhappy with the choice for the time but I think right now there are much better choices in this range there (Randall, Ibanez ...). And when you think you can have the combo Vox AC30 for € 800 ... use is certainly not the same ...
