MGR/Daniel Hurt, Australia « Marshall MG100DFX »
Published on 10/10/02 at 15:00Aquired the unit at Macron Music Central Coast, Sydney, Australia. I'm 18 years old and after going through a couple of fenders there was only one place to go. I was after the next step up in my guitar playing and this amp offered everything i wanted in design, sound and price. I was going to get the 50 watter but was reccomended against it by a few people for issues concerning quality rather than wattage. But don't worry all thise people also reccomended this amp.
AUS$880 - $450US
The amp has 2 or 3 channels depending on how you want to look at it. The thing just sounds amazing. I love playing the blues so for me it's everything i wanted and more. By just turning the contour knob you can come from belting out an ACDC riff to non-stop punk rock. I seem to use the overdrive channel more than the clean, but with four different kinds of marshall distortion wouldn't you!
If there was only one thing i could comment on it would have to be the clarity. No matter how distorted this thing gets you can still hear every note.
The construction is solid and it looks beautiful and hey it doesn't sound to bad with your stereo running throught it either!
the unit is perfect, i have only one problem at the moment. If you're after a high range tone with the bass lowered this might not be the amp for you but hey, that's the reason i went for a marshall!
The clean channel has a smooth creamy clear tone with an independant gain control, mid, bass and treble and a clean crunch button so you can have distortion on both channels.
The overdrive channel has the same but contains contour, independant volume and a switch to change from distorted to really distorted.
The digital effects include chorus, delay, flange and independant reverb. These are contolled by the FX level control.
Finally there is a master volume and a switch that allows the combination of new marshall technology to create valve emulation.
Just a couple more things
cd input
line out and headphone jack
some fx jacks on the back
oh, and a fan to keep your 12 inch speaker nice and cool.
The construction is as solid as a rock. There's nothing on it you can break if it's reasonably looked after.
The footswitch provided feels like solid metal with chrome buttons to switch between channels and turn the FX on and off.
It is pretty big having something like a 59cm by 57cm face and weighs 23.5kg but i'm 6'2 so i don't notice.
Probably one of most affordable combo amps on the market and also the best. If you want something to play on stage with and hate the weight of a stack this is the amp for you. I'll never need another amp again.
Get out and buy one of these
