All user reviews for the Marshall MG100DFX

100W transistor amp, 0 lamps. Two channels, one clean and overdrive, switchable via the button "Select Channel" or sold with the pedal. There's an entry "cd in" to watch a movie when your speakers are dead and a headphone output to not disturb the neighbors (stupid, taking a much smaller amp or preamp plugged into the PC). There's already some terrible effects on the amp, ie reverb, chorus, delay, chorus-delay (yes), and another super ugly effect.

So basic amp, nothing + nothing less.

UTILIZATION

So. We plug his guitar and we play basically that's it. To the question "Do you get easily a good sound?", The answer is no, no, not always. Even with all the goodwill in the world you can not do anything with this crap.

Otherwise, the volume of the effects loop I dropped two years ago. Ideal for the effects of type of shit amp, not able to do anything.

SOUNDS

ABOVE ALL, but then MOSTLY. That prospective buyers do not read reviews of this amp incensing shit. They are liars. We can not do anything to this amp. I mainly use an LTD EC-500 EMG 81/60 rise, and no sounds except for the feedback and harmonics.

I play mostly metal, but also rock, funk, pop. It is absolutely despicable. The clean is super flat and cold, forced to put the reverb so that it goes a bit. The equalizer is laughable, it only serves to switch from "low shit" to "sharp shrill". In crunch / overdrive, it goes a little better anyway, but it's still very unclear and ugly. Once you start playing a little arpeggio stupid looking open-hand, it makes a big commotion and no one picks up nothing. Even amp Vikernes Nocturno Culto or sounds better than that.

The worst part of this amp, if you switch the channel "clean" to "overdrive", volume increases with death alone, about 50% less! I'm always on your ass even 2 years later.

My solution, it was just to put myself on the clean channel and use a MT-2 pedal for distortion. Ben to play riffs in the bass is really horrible but it's still better than overdrive, but important not to try to play a solo or anything. Another thing, the sound is different depending on where you stand. Ideal

OVERALL OPINION

It's been 3 years that I have, I bought a friend who stopped the guitar. I have not tried much, and good, I took it because I played a small 10W, it was barely a year since I played.

The pros: if you always played on a transistor amplifier 10W, if you are deaf, or if you are just stupid, you will love this MG100DFX
The -: value for money horrible, its disgusting at all levels, super heavy, unreliable.

With experience, I do not do it again this election, normal. I'm saving now to buy a head ENGL Powerball with a lil practice Mesa, finally pro gear ...

PS: Leaving to put 200 + € in an amp, because you're tired of your little 10W, a tip: if you do not do concerts, buy yourself a tube amp 5W or 10W. Otherwise, opt for a modeling amp. And if you want an amp transistor, avoid using the infamous shit, Marshall and avoid if you want to play metal.

transistor, 100 whats
loop efect
internal effect
"Tube emulation"

UTILIZATION

AC branch and miracle plays music (well noise and after that depends on zicos)

SOUNDS

good for beginners, after that it will never be worth a lamp, it's still a way amplifiers,
we are very far from the true Marshall sound, but it's already good from analog (except effect) so good
AC is still a respect can the sound of the guitar, the report's money, is honest.

OVERALL OPINION

I is for 6 months, that price is correct, after if we can have is top of occasion, it avoids the stress of caprice and tube amp (you can wear it as a Bourin even hot, it might not).
but do not buy it without trying it, do not hesitate to push it a bit. For that price is not bad, but if you do not try it power, Marshall was released on a class 5 which is near the same price and it's all light except that AC is 5 whats good.

everything is good on the site of Marshall
or on the websites of online sales

UTILIZATION

say that it is a good marshall, you're arms and rings =)
the settings are quite effective,
quite effective simpa, not great quality but anyway its simpatoche avoids typing a multi effect buy pluss
what is it simpa the contour knobs and the little button that adds a little body and a kind of warmth to the sound of the guitar
I remember exactly the name of portard in short ^ ^

Manual uh ... I had no need to read

SOUNDS

good level of sound is loved, if one already has its micro emg sounds cool, has a punch unimaginable jai could try a Ibanez MTM1 esp tipe AND a les paul with emg ^ ^ ba really makes her ugly
else but with his guitar makes a lot
are a lot of versatility in this amp
but its still a beginner amp
has this price is better now buy a good used amp in my opinion but for a transistor amp! it's rock =)

OVERALL OPINION

good advice to the people! with friends was mounted a 3 guitarist we all bought the same amp! after 2 years! the 3 0 amp bought works!
So beware this amp is cursed! do not buy it!
Yet they were not moved, nor martirisé They stayed in a room, a temperature difference of labri! and no! they still failed!
So a really crappy amp! annoyed because his pay 350 euro for nothing TT
good luck on those scratch Friend

Note: I mistakenly posted this review earlier this year on a different model.

Hp 100w amplifier transistor 12 '
Effects: clean / crunch, delay, reverb, mod, preset recording, effects loop Entries: 1 guitar jack, a mini jack line outputs: 1 4ohms speaker mini jack

UTILIZATION

Above all, I precise that I do not scratch at all, I am most familiar with the world of amps sound / keyboard. So my opinion is probably relative. I know this amp as a member of one of my groups has bought one, so I brought unintentionally to compare it to other composers of my knowledge (various models: Peavey, Vox, Fender, Marshall, transistor , lamp) Config simple? Yes and no: it is an amplifier with gain and master volume, so far nothing very complicated. But the pots are not dials "classic", they are sensors, not very well managed in my opinion. So much so that when one goes from clean to crunch with the volume at a certain level, these levels change, as if one had moved along the Knob ... Example: clean gain with the mini, mini volume. Support to enter crunch: big sound instant, when we should have nothing, since we are the kids ... Same crunch to clean ... Do you get a good sound easy? That is the great defect that made me post this review because I believe it is unbearable not to mention "her" in the sense of artistic creativity but only "its" meaning "his own" no, we do can have a good sound with an amp that is a real factory blast! Turn the gain to the mini, mini volume, mount the master even if only 2: blast worthy of a radio not tuned! And beyond the half, the Storm! I know it's a 100watts, so there is always a little breathless, but not much! And especially low levels. Gain a mini or full, no difference: as if the preamp was always thoroughly and that the gain was only Knob down "virtual" level.

SOUNDS

Intolerable problem in my breath, but was rated "sounds" as such, I let the guitarists try this.

OVERALL OPINION

I restates that I am not a guitarist, so my advice is worth what it's worth. I hope others will scratch their own. My opinion is based on listening to other models peavey, vox, fender or Marschal transistor or lamp. it is not mine, I found the amp last week, and I fiddled a while ds every direction to try to minimize this fucking blows. Nothing to do. What I love most, for what I know guitar: good power, fairly complete connectivity, nice effects section, can save 4 settings What I like least: blast! breath and the breath yet! And this bug also change the volume between clean and crunch What is your opinion about the value for the price? In view of the other amps scratch that I know, for 400 € you can certainly find a little less wattage, but otherwise the best! The effects section, the storage is good, but what to do with an amp that even at 2 am sending you the mistral? With an amp "usual" blowing qud you push him, at worst it can put less safe and sound return ds. But here, even gain and volume to 0 (which anyway is not used to grd thing ...) and master in 2 or 3, already bcp blast too!
If other guitarists can contradict me, I myself am caught like a ball to cover, the better. But if not, I repeat my old principle: better less power, less frills, but a solid and clean. In this case, perhaps a 40Watts range above, with less fuss, but the storm unmanageable ...

Initially, the receiver is attractive: a "Marshall" 100W. But

UTILIZATION

Test: a blast worthy of the Tramontana. Power, certainly, but the effects incorporated, activated (north wind) or disabled (southerly wind), makes this amp a "trick" to avoid. I tried with a U.S. Standard Fender 50th anniversary, a Telecaster and a 52 MN Lag The Beast My guitars ... they are all rotten? No! I tried another. Souffle lesser

SOUNDS

... But ultimately having already amp Fender I traded cons a Marshall AS50 (subject 100 euros more!) Who very suitable clear sound ( Martin Acoustic, Takamine attention to low, and electrical Startocaster). AS 50 lacks power but the sound is very good (and easy to use: volume, tone, stereo chorus, anti-feedback). The MG100DFG, forget it! JMP / Fane

OVERALL OPINION

Other models Advisor: Marshall Valvestate-hand (amazing, I regret that I sold), the Marshall as102, or the Fender 212R for the wealthy: the Fender Twin .
Note to MG100DFX: 1 / 20

here is a single transistor amplifier, with a connection base, which is 100 watts.
the settings are very full with an integrated multi-effects and an incredible thing, a button that trigger a tube amp simulator ???!!!!! then that, I never understood the interest of this button! for those who prefer the sound of transistors cold!

UTILIZATION

Very simple, if you're not in a hurry because the buttons must be turned before it's done!
was no manual but ...
good for her, fortunately, the small multi-effect catches up a bit hit and simulator lamps too, otherwise it is not éxtraordinnaire!

SOUNDS

So it suits my style, I play punk but hey, the marshall is expected to have a little better (of course it's not an all-tube)!
we get with this amp sound a little transistors and boosted with the simulator lamps switched on. without this simulator, the sound is simply no
I play it with a jackson dx10d equipped with DiMarzio!
I like the clean sound with the chorus which is very credible, other effects like the road but the distortion should be used with the simulator if it is not terrible at all! I

OVERALL OPINION

ais for 1 year
I've tried a lot of transistors and the celuis no exception to the rule, even if Marshall has tried to innovate with the MG series, I do not know too!
what I like about this amp is the integrated multi-effects, it is really good and almost catches up to him only this amp, this is my least favorite: the case closed, the sound is different depending place where you are, face it, the weight, it is super heavy I mounted on wheels!
Report qual price is not terrible, we pay particular brand I found it!
no, I do not do it again this election, there are far better, you do not have!

100-watt solid-state amp with instrument and CD inputs, headphone output and footswitch connector.

The settings are quite simple: 2 channels with independent EQ and gain control, common reverb plus digital FX (flanger, delay, chorus and chorus/delay).

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple and you can easily find the sound you need (within the amp's possibilities) if you use an EQ.

If you are looking for a good tone you can try as long as you want, but you won't get it!

The user's manual is very short but it does include some settings examples.

SOUNDS

This amp doesn't match any music style because it sounds awful.

The amp is reliable and easy to use but it sounds very bad. This becomes very clear when you compare it with a real amp (even in the same price range... although the MG100 is still better than the MG10).

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using this amp for nearly one year. I bought it to have enough output power.

I didn't test anything before buying it (that's the only reason I bought it).

The value for money is very bad! I think, Marshall uses its good reputation to sell lousy amps to beginners who want to play famous brand amps.

If I had known, I would have never buy it.

The best tip I can give you is to test several amps before buying one. And do the same with guitars.

100-watt solid-state amp with tube simulation. Two channels: clean with crunch and overdrive with boost (OD2). Four integrated effects (chorus/delay, chorus, delay, flanger) plus reverb. FX loop, headphone output and line output with speaker simulation.

In short, comprehensive features...

UTILIZATION

The clean tone is quite average and doesn't really sound like a Marshall. With maximum gain and very heavy pick attacks the clean sound sort of crunches. On the contrary, the crunch function is useless because it has too much gain and the sound loses its fullness...

The overdrive channel is easy to set: max. OD1 for rock and max. OD2 for a sounds ranging from ACDC to heavy metal. Even with my Jackson the sound isn't very good, the tube simulation does a good job though. My previous Ibanez Tone Blaster gave better results... This amp is clearly a budget product...

The user's manual can be helpful in the beginning to set the amp.

SOUNDS

I play mainly heavy metal and this amp has not the best sound for that sort of music. The Peavy Bandit 112 is the best choice in this price range.

The amp sounds good for blues with maximum gain in the clean channel. It's also ok for rock but no hard rock.

To get a good metal sound I use Zakk Wylde's MXR distortion pedal because it has a good gain level. Surprisingly enough the sound becomes flat and loses punch with a POD.

In short, the sound is only average...

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for almost one year and I already want to change it. I've been playing guitar for over one year and I wanted a cheap Marshall but I won't buy their products anymore...

You get a much better sound with a Peavey, a Randall or an Orange. I wouldn't buy it again.
