All user reviews for the Marshall MG100DFX

Well everything has been said in the previous opinion

UTILIZATION

I do not own this amp.

on the other hand I have several times had the opportunity to play on and sound of the guitar with.

Setup is simple and more:

Built-in effects

FDD system

and output with HP emulation

SOUNDS

Well I think those who do not like this amp is a mental block because it is not light and it is well worth some peavey valking lamps or low-end sounds hollow without mediums that are impossible to show a mix

If we do not grow in depth this little MG 100, it sounds great with the real Marshall. If there is need to use it in a large room, well just use the output with HP emulation and sound back in and it does it well.

Very easy to add sound and shows a very good front mix.En all those I had heard the sound and sound systems.

So if you want the sound of AC DC, Guns and Led Zep without an amp and 30 kg Unson volume acceptable, and without the constraints of fragility of the lamps, if you can not afford to offer you a any new lamp (used often requires the Retube) is the amp for you.

Now if you still want to improve it, a pedal blackstar tube and there before we enter filling or crunch sounds very good. The coupling Blackstar / MG 100 is great.

I put 9 for the value of his / price. A JVM or a vintage / modern lamp that I also just tried sound better, in fact more dynamic and able to push the amp but it is 4 times as much.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp it should be used as amplifier transistor, that is, to a reasonable size (though it can play in bars without transplanting) otherwise the output back through the HP emulation very well done. That's the limit of transistor amps, just knowledge and not push back, unlike any lamp.

I have two Fender all-tube, more suited to blues, and I have owned several Marshall (JCM 800 and JTM 60)

But I wonder if I'm not going to end up offering me one of those little MG 100 for a more rock. For 300 euros is a bargain to advise any guitarist beginner, see confirmed as the second amp.

we discussed the other day with my teacher scratching, professional guitarist who has over 30 years of guitar behind him, we agree.

-See below

UTILIZATION

Trs simple config-

SOUNDS

Amp-prvu for all genres, quite versatile.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp since ending for two years. I needed a powerful amp for my RPTES (guitarist of a rock band, punk, emo progressive ,...) in April that he was my mg100dfx rpondait expectations: excellent power-to-qualitprix!
Good to dpart we hack, we try to sound DIFFERENT ... this amp is versatile and trs Magic ... we go from clean to saturated by 0.001sec with the footswitch (for a nickel p'tit "wake me up" by Green Day)
The saturation is at the top with my guitar (Ibanez s520ex hh: p) that said, I had the opportunity to try a guitar with low end, c'tait diffrent fully with the distortion in odd2 gain a background it was like with an acoustic guitar xD ... it is to say that the sound varies with the guitars.
If not for the power ... Nothing to say! I never Exceeds 1 / 4 in RPTES with our drummer who types like crazy ^ ^ I have to say and live less than half. This amp possde a big Reserved (in overdrive channel).
Do not try to put it in the bottom channel ODD2, personal essay I've ever I want my ears too!
If you miss the worst of power, you can re-balance the sound on your sound system via the output jack on the amp.
For the history fan, I think it is worth mentioning that as a problem because the noise is low and when you start playing, it's even less a problem.

This is the amp for you if you play your rock (all genres) except mtal dull and heavy, or you need to adjust pedals an effect, however, the channel with the gain ODD2 max can do the job and your solo is hell.

I would recommend this amp for particulirement scratch ® religion to play in a band, will be a shame to take and put a 100W all the way down to his room to make his lines ...

I will give 9 / 10 has this amp too much for the 100W, practical and Aesthetics!

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration with a good well british
Easy.
The manual leaves a lot of freedom to imagine given the poverty of its contents

SOUNDS

It is a fairly versatile amp, I play the mtal group so it follows in terms of power but the gain is low trs, is a nice crunch and overdrive, but the followers of nags, consider plugging a stomp box.
For blues and jazz, the sound is warm and trs trs enjoyable, I play it with several guitars and even a sitar.
The FDD circuit is made, a simulation lamp. Trsrussite and I find it sort of the clitoris of the amp to not be vulgar, but it is THE FIRST thing that came to mind during my first test.
The effects are basic but the delay is enjoyable, though the switch only allows to use the effect to which the knob is turned.
There is a reverb that is not controllable by the malheureusemnt switch either.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a year and I bought it new in store.
I do not think I have a Marshall 400Euros but vieu behringer.
I try many model as vox, fender, behringer but hey I do not know, Marshall is the amp you see any post them in your room ... What a legends.
I sound much more especially the FDD. Marshall is the only team in the march of his amps jewelry. We are not in the spce of the simulation line 6 that smells printed circuit full nose, it's not the lamp, but comes close.
Quality levels is a good purchase price, particularly if one seeks an amp that potato and is versatile.
I will not go that choice because I have a randall Double body now, but if one day I snapped some money of nostalgia I think I shall find a
It is selling for that matter, leave me a message.

So I think its already been said a good many times but hey 40éne:

All-transistor amplifier with a button that simulates the lights ...
-100 Watts (enough to February sheets)
-Input to the grate, input and output for effects loop, line out and CD input
-2 Separate channel with independent managed by Eq Footswitch included (coooool) chorus delay flanger and reverb separate

it's good I put 9 because the line-out sounds very Down Pillow FDD and the button is pointless ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple moves from clean very clean well the big rock us through the soft crunch is really well the whole spectrum is present and you can easily find a sound that rings. Manuel annectotique in French ... even when it must be emphasized

SOUNDS

I play a little bit of everything so that us blues rock ect ... I use it with michael kelly patriot phoenix (2 humbucker) and a Cort G210 (2simples 1double and) in virtually all of the configuration I get a draw I seeing these guitars except in very simple saturated with micro (but perhaps that it comes from my microphone) sound is rough ... Otherwise its all good a good bass and treble this powerful solos. I préffere the large round well saturated and the crunch (attention not crunch the clean channel which I find pathetic but the crunch of lowering saturated with a little gain)

OVERALL OPINION

2 years since I used his sound for the price and the "all transistor". I think I would do I not have that choice to a Vox morienteré AD100VT that sound out of this world but I Megara ...
Very good quality / price!

Marshall MG100DFX
Combo 100W RMS, while transistor
Two channels: clean and overdrive
Tube amp simulation (FDD)
1 HP 12-inch
Headphone / HP; line between
Intgr effects: delay, flanger, reverb, chorus

on paper, nothing wrong

UTILIZATION

Setup is super simple, the user can find the sound he is looking for easily, and without the help of the manual (which is totally useless).
Footswitch included, to move from one channel to another and enable / disable the effects: very practical.

SOUNDS

This amp, remember it, is NOT an all-tube amp, which means it does not sound mythical forcment marshall. Nanmoins, it has excellent sound, and for any transistor amplifier, there is no above. All those who say that this amp has a sound of m * rde, show of snobbery, because it is a marshall, and said tube amplifier marshall said.

Pass this rant, I can give an objective opinion on the sound of this amp ...

The sound is quite bright in the clear (if you know the rgler), and many fat overdrive. The sound is clear nanmoins not his strong point (if you want an amp with a great clear sound, in the same price range, you had to turn to a FM212R). The crunch on the clean channel is much too strong compared to its clean.
The FDD is a simulation of the strengths of this amp: the sound is much warmer and less like a transistor sound (it itch all-tube amps largely low-end).
I use a telecaster (mounts with two humbucker seymour SH1/SH4), with a boss SD1 pedals for overdrive (when I took the time to leave, meaning you rarely, as the 'intgrea overdrive the amp is excellent dj).

I put 10 without hsiter (there are 8 or 9 that would because the sound is not as good as a marshall lamp, but this is not the same price)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year. I tried a lot of other models, some in my budget, some not ... before acqurir (Peavey ValveKing 112, fender FM212R, blue 60dfx kettner hugues, hugues Kettner Attax 80 ...)

Most
- Price
- Sound (thanks in particular fdd)
- Finishing (marshall look, we like it or hate it, I love)
- The footswitch supplied with the amp purchase (unlike other amp in the same CATEGORY)

The -:
- The manual too poor
- The headphones: means very little when the gain is not lev.
- The crunch of the channel clear.

The price quality ratio is excellent, there is not above (I got a) in any transistor amplifier. With exprience, I would do this choice.

Look at the bottom says it all

UTILIZATION

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!
When the manual it was not ...

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

OVERALL OPINION

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!

Transistor amplifier 100 w
2 channels with footswitch switches 2 (clean / distortion, effect / dry)
equalizer, gain, each channel for volume + distortion
reverb
effects: rglage of intensity and mixing
Switch simulation lamps.

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple. The manual is useless.
The power is sufficient.
The sound is not good.
Failure found in all these amps: the fan is noisy at startup (APRS, a fine, but 1 minute withstand zonzon is pnible).
Only one fist on top of transport, it is not practical. I added the cts. Weight would be easily won p on bnisterie.
The effects are not mmorisables per channel, in contrast to Hughes & Kettner Matrix.

SOUNDS

This receiver is suitable for rptitions, but s'arrte l.
I could never get the sound I sprais despite guitars I think correct (Lag Roxane Standard jem 555, gibson sg special, ibanez rg7612).
Global Warming simulation switch lights a little atmosphere, but still insufficient trs.
Finally, the sound palette offers is quite large, but not usable because mmorisable 2 channel only.
The effects of quality are correct.

OVERALL OPINION

When I bought it for c'tait rptitions, and because it offered a silent dnatur less than the line6, with pronounced disto pplus that fender.
This amp me a lot of quality on the marshall. The price is too lev for the quality of the device.
With exprience, I would do not have that choice. I turned to a Matrix plutt Hughes & Kettner, Laney or a Crate.

Marshall amp (glop) transistor (not glop) 100W whose characteristics have already been mentioned ...
Effects really nice, pleasant to use.

UTILIZATION

Configurtion could not be more simple. In any one of quinzine knobs all set for easy adjustment and clear. No worry the sound is good (if that takes a behind the guitarist minimm the road) and for that price I do not see how one could not be satisfied. Obviously if I had more money ... but the question does not arise.
Manuel clear but almost unnecessary given the simplicity of the device.

SOUNDS

The sound corresponds perfectly to the use I made of the amp: one great big rock sound not bad with the possibility of modeling the color ... well enough to find some semblance of musical personality (otherwise I rather like the presence of the footswitch)
For me a safe bet, and that beyond the Marshall logo (which is even plaiz qd ^ ^)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years. I will not repeat myself: to me it suits me perfectly. Because it is warmer than the other transistors, and even if it weighs its weight (heavy mess) I carry in my heart (lol).
Excellent quality / price ratio I will redeem without hesitation with the same budget.
I do not understand the few critics who insist this jewel to lower a note that he deserves yet ... I've never had any technical problems with this amp.

Marshall 100 watt transistor amp
2 channels, rglage spar,
FDD circuit (amplifier to simulate lamps)
All rglages a basic amp, separated by channel.

UTILIZATION

It is very simple to use, nothing to do with a Line 6 Spider III which is complicated trs.
This gives a good sound very easy.
No need for manual, it's really not difficult to find.

SOUNDS

I play almost every style of music you can play with an electric guitar. I jou with my current 4 guitars, primarily a New Standard Stratocaster Amrican 2008.
Are readily available all the sounds you want, clear sounds more or less crystalline, the sounds crunch and saturation.
It is this latter type of sound, which can have problems if you push the volume too much.
But everything is really exploitable, this amp delivers on its promises, and it is to take 100 watts, far more "safe" that small range of MG, the more HP is a Celestion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months. I possde other amplifiers, including amplifiers lamps. I bought this one for a powerful yet portable amp with no risk of the abmer I had previously tried and bought the Line 6 Spider III 75 watts, but when I cost the Marshall I got back to my Line 6 to make the MG 100 DFX.
Apart from a, I tried many other amps including "lights", but I do not believe t.
I tried also the small MG, but nothing do with the 100 watts in the range MG is that it must be taken to have something good, and it is because it ' is a "transo" 100 watts it is not playable low volume. No worries, we get a good report, whatever the volume.
I put around 10/10, as the price (less than 350 euros), I see no better, as it offers the grain "marshall" and that is what I was looking prcisment.
I do it again this election, no hsitation.

It is a 100 watt transistor combo amp brand Marshall
FDD circuit for amp modeling lamps
2 Channels (Clean / Overdrive) with volume indpendant CONTRL
2 modes per channel
3 rglages, bass, contour / mduims and treble for clean channel
4 rglages, bass, mdiums, treble, contour for the overdrive channel
4 Effects numriques Intgr
A volume control gnral
A gain control per channel and a CONTRL volume for channel Overdrive
1 HP Custom-Voiced CELESTION 12 inches
comes with a 2-way Pdalier

UTILIZATION

Setup is super simple, nothing to do with Line 6 Spider III is really difficult to find.
I found just trs trs and the right sound quickly. No need to navigate manually, could not be more simple to find its own rglages and its sounds.

SOUNDS

DIFFERENT styles I play, I come as the sounds of Steve Vai, EVH, and of course Jimi Hendrix. I possde this amp for two months, for the time I did not use my effects pedals, I jou with the effects of the amp. I jou with my 3 guitars, mainly with my Fender Stratocaster.
I get all the sounds I want, because with this amp reproduces Fidler "noise footprint" of each of my guitars. I get all the clean sounds I want, no problem more or less crystalline, ditto for the crunch sounds. I am convinced by these trs sound, and although it is a transistor amp, hard to make the difference with my other amps lamps. I am surprised trs enjoyable, not too surprised when even, because if I took it in stores, it is evidence that the test sduit me.
The Overdrive Channel makes good, low volume means the volume is in difficulty if it is put trs high volume, you lose the precision However, a TRS is exploitable, the amp does not collapse.
In conclusion, I am satisfied with the sound. I put 10/10. But even when it's all good. I sduit by progrsraliss by amp transistors Contents of sound, it was the heat of a lamp amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months. Long enough to make a first report.
I prfre most: Although this is an amp transistors found the grain Marshall. I did not make a fortune in a head lamp because I possde two large amps dj lights. I bought this "transo" to be able to carry around easily.
I tried several before buying this MODELS Marshall.
A Line 6 Spider III / too much chemical, synthetic, not natural is to replace the Line 6 Marshall I took it, far more convincing.
DIFFERENT Vox "transo" sounds pretty good quality, but not the grain that I was looking for.
Small lamps amps, the same as Vox, sounds pretty good, but like the previous ones, not the sound I wanted.
I pay this amp at a price of 339 euros and this price, I think it's a good deal trs, the report qualitprix is ​​simply excellent.
I do it again this choice, because this amp rpond totally what I want. Namely a portable amp, which gives me the sound I'm looking for. Really good.
339 euros for such feedback, it's cheap.
The more I put 10/10, this amp is gnial.

Everything is said!

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is it simple?
It's a Marshall, so classic, I think it's pretty simple to use!
- Gets it easy to sound good?
The sound is good, really nice, no crackling, just a small fan that starts up at boot but it takes a few seconds, nothing embarrassing!
June 28, 2009 Edit: I use it for some time as a group before, I played a lot of headphones ... but this is the cat, it blows, it sizzles and with experience ... Finally, difficult to gain with this amp ...
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
I did used to plug in my headphones ...

Edit on 2/13/09: Finally, some settings are difficult to find and understand when you do not know it and the manual is not really understandable for a novice ... thank you internet. I just bought a hassle to pedal and I put it in the effect loop of the amp but simple once you understand ... Also, with the use of a pedal, the settings become less obvious, but this is due to a lack of experience and not Marshall! I lowered my rating to 7 / 10 (instead of 9)

SOUNDS

- Will it fit your style of music?
We always want more ... but it is perfect, at least I play alone at home, with headphones and it suits me perfectly!
June 28, 2009 Edit: like I just said above ... the headphone is good, but suddenly, as if that's headphone ... should not take as many Watt ...
- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play?
Ibanez GRX with a 40 and sometimes an old Colorado home ECR30 Jim Harley. I hope soon to add a loop station!
- What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?
For some months I use it I spend more time playing than trying all kinds of settings, it is enough to make for an amateur!
June 28, 2009 Edit: like I said at the time, what to do there, especially when you want to look for a good sound ... can spend time there. Ultimately, there are sounds correct ... The modulation effects are cool ... but I'll buy some pedals for more than just fun!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since April 2008 ...
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Edit June 28, 2009: The only one I see now is that it's a Marshall! Cons: souflerie, crackles (even clean), the distortion, the difficulty of finding good sound ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had a chance! I tried an electric guitar at the time and the amp was also for sale ... No, I have not tried other!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
I had an Ibanez and Marshall for 410 euros, I felt that it was more than correct (amp still under warranty at the time of purchase)
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

Edit June 28, 2009: If I had to buy new, no. I'll try anyway some amps before ... and my choice will certainly bring a different amp.

I put 6 as noted, although apparently, the site prevents me from changing my notes ...

Marshall 100 watt transistor amp
2 channels with a 3-Band EQ per channel
effects processor built in activabl footwitch
Digital reverb
fdd a simulation circuit lamps
effects loop emulation output or headphone hp
line in
For the price not bad

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple not need a manual is obtained her satisfaisan Assé quickly.
Although the fate hp too many acute FDD, even without being pushed from its volume can become very quickly but not deafening and my irémédiable duncan humbucker has to be something for the effects are absolutely useless on stage they are really awful gadjet useless but above all to play the guitar you buy is not a reverb ampli.La footswichtable and volume would have been welcome on the clean channel.

SOUNDS

This amp is perfect for playing punk, rock, etc ...
I play with a Squier Stratocaster. I invested in a korg AX3000G effects are very well made. The overdrive is perfect for my style without being exceptionel she will enjoy a very dirty hand I find the bass are really made this amp as opposed to acute. The clean is not too bad, it is ideal for integrated amp simulations or other effects even naturally it makes you something to be proud. I put ten because this amp is worth the cost to be heard. After one likes or dislikes. But it is far from crap.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for just over six months. I speak of course for the price to 350 euro you use a reliable amp on stage contrary to what some seem to say it on the volume with the sound system and return you anyway no need to worry half sufira much for doing it myself several times. It is a perfect amp for those who want to start on stage to buy better.

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.

Unfortunately 100% transistor, or the lamp fell preamp?

UTILIZATION

Classic ... except that, compared to second generation Valvestate (+ / - 1998) I have always, there are only two selectable channels instead of three independent channels on the real VSII, and above all, more Lamp in preamp that's a lot ... and that changes everything!

SOUNDS

As I said above ... changes everything.
I just compared the two amps, and there ... the slap, clear sound all too soft or slamming, no finesse in the equalization, no grain, and it is not "gain" of the canal just solve the problem, it can bring some energy but certainly not bite, much less the color or heat as may give the preamp tube VSII.
The second problem is size ... more third independent channel! To choose a nickname crunch with claen, one or the other? The lead is average and the setting is simply an outline of medium boost to the left or right pad, nothing to do with the contour model, which shook the grain VSII modern genre or the genre expanded vintage.
The Hp is unknown to the battalion, they were on the VSII "Celestion gold back." Last, the box is closed and high-volume, one senses quickly that the carcasses can not bear not the energy generated cone, which generates low invasive and inaccurate.

To save money on everything for (presumably) to add an effect section (a fashion) ... I'm not sure everyone will enjoy.

OVERALL OPINION

I played on most major brands including numerical simulations, and the question I ask myself is:
why such a step backwards? A great brand like Marshall should not she use this success to offer at least equivalent quality to his previous series?

When I turn the VSII just after the MG ... I almost feel like playing on a full tube ... enough said.

They are able to tap a good market with this amp with the price point they start at and the availability of them in the guitar stores. However, this amp is such garbage that it is actually an embarrassment to the Jim Marshall.

This amp sound like what you would want a Marshall to sound like only it doesn't. This amp is tinty and thin sounding as most solid state amps lend themselves to be. The Eq's are very harsh and dialing out that fuzzy buzzy distortion tone will keep you twisting knobs more than playing time.

SOUNDS

The best thing you can do with an amp like this is throw it off the roof. If you don't have a roof try lighting it on fire. In all seriousness though the amp can get you a good practice or jamming tone. Don't try to go out and gig with this amp though because the sound man will laugh you right off the stage.

Use a good Gibson Les Paul with this amp or another guitar with a humbucker style pickup in it. You need that extra coil to try and tame some of the harsh frequencies inherent to this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I would not recommend this amp to anyone. If you need a decent two channel amp then try a Peavey or a Roland cube. I know it doesn't say Marshall on the side of those amps but this my friends is not what a Marshall sounds like.

They do not make these amps anymore so you will have to go on the used market to scout one out. I have seen them a lot for under $200. Which isn't a bad price for an amp that has multi channels and effects. But the ridiculous wattage this thing has makes me wonder why you would need that loud of bad tone.
