    Marshall MG-10CD

    Marshall MG10CDPublished on 02/06/04 at 15:00
    I bought this amp at a small music store called music maniake. It was my first amp and i thought it look like a good deal for only 70 bucks.

    Theres not much to like really the clean channels is the best thing on the amp but even that sounds like crap.Well it is pretty loud for 10 watts to.

    The over dirve on this amp cant be any worse.The othere things is the tone is so sharp when i play my little e string on the 10th fret my dog starts to cry!! no joke the sound is tarrable.

    the guality of the amps is asume.

    well if u just starting out it is what u wont but dont try to jam with other amps that are bigger because it suckes.

    It's a transistor amp, 10W, nothing extraordinary.
    An entry for the guitar, an entry for a headphone, and another for ... for .. in fact I never used the other entrance.
    The settings are minimal, there is no classic 3-band EQ. A volume knob for clean, a knob for gain and volume for distortion and tone of a knob for both channels (which are not independent of course).

    UTILIZATION

    There, it's plug and play. Everything is simple, everything is clear.
    To get a good sound, better to change the amp. It is almost unbearable for the ears, it borders otitis.

    SOUNDS

    SOUNDS

    This amp suits any style of music. In either case, it would insult the music itself. I do not like any sound on this amp. The sound is due to indscriptible omniprésences of BzzzZZZzzZZZZZzzzZZzz.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This was my first amp, so it has about 9 years. I had tried any amp before this one (I was 11 years old, I understand that I was not going to jump directly to a Soldano). The only positive is that it is easily transportable, with a weight equal to its quality. I never go back on the range "MG" Marshall. Torture for the ears and ears is invaluable.

    Everything has been said above.
    four knobs, two cranberry, clean and overdrive. no effect.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration is very simple, since there are only four knobs. we do not have to fiddle with bored all the buttons, since only the volume and contour clean channel, to which we add the Overdrive channel gain.
    the manual has some sample settings, I would advise you to fiddle with the button yourself contour to find yours.

    SOUNDS

    So let's see the different types of sounds that can be obtained:
    in Clean, sound bland and impersonal, unless your scraper is equipped with microphones are good enough for landing. move the contour knob will not change by very little.

    in Clean, sound bland and impersonal, unless your scraper is equipped with microphones are good enough for landing. move the contour knob will not change by very little.

    in distortion, it's better. saturation is good, it is dirty and quite powerful. by setting the gain to 3, you can get a kind of informed her that vaguely resembles the crunch. above, move the gain knob does not change the sound, it just adds the feedback when you release the ropes.
    the sound plays on the button outline. I always put to the 3 / 4, have a history of its fat just right.

    it is about my style as I limit myself to Hard. but if I try to make the pop ...
    is to deplore the lack of any effects, not even a reverb or EQ, which gives her a little change.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using my electric guitar I is my first amp.
    I like the distortion of good quality, but it seriously lacks an equalizer, and in addition it is heavy and bulky for a 10 watt. and clear sound is ugly.
    value for money, yes, you pay just the brand necessarily, but hey it's okay.

    with experience, I would do not have the same choice, I had to pack, and I would choose above the pack, just to get a better amp and better scratch.

    then that's what I'd recommend: If you must buy a separate amp, prefer a Roland Micro Cube, which is not much more expensive, which is smaller, lighter and has lots of funny effects.
    on the other hand, if the MG is part of a pack, then it may be advantageous, provided you start and want to do mostly hard. but you quickly notice that you are stuck, and you have to change either the guitar or amp. I plan soon to do both.

    Sound into overdrive then there are the marshall. Good big slight distortion in the amp gives a really powerful sound despite its small size the sound is unfortunately not clear draft and become irritating over time and forming musical ear.
    The manual is in several languages ​​he gives some guidance on the use of settings and examples of settings (clean, blues, rock, metal)
    The lack of rglages also furiously default and are only partially catches up with the guitar or an effects pedal

    SOUNDS

    This little amp is perfect for making the distortion very dirty in his apartment without yelling throughout the building provided. It can be used for hard rock, metal.

    I play it mostly with Cort EVL Z4 BKS-settings of the scraper will effectively refine the sound of the amp. The style of music is very different jou: BB King, Nirvana, AC-DC, 38 special ...
    It is very easy to get a distortion even if it is not clear from the cons for its clean go your way it is not for ca
    The overdrive of this little amp is in one word: powerful sound is powerful but not sharp but hey what more could an amp costing - 100
    I put 4 by considering the only game in overdrive for the case where you would play in ausi clean as I would put 0 as the half of the amplifier is missing if I may say

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year now and will be sold
    Its distortion is in tune but too rough to be exploited by repeating, or small solo concerts I hate the clean and the severe lack of settings (no treble and bass)
    I tried other models of the same type has no power to overdrive the Marschall
    The report price is good quality it is a small model of training that can be used for beginners if you want to play as hard metal ...

    With the experience I would not take a Marshall MG series of all who have this problem of clarity of the signal I would spend more on a vox much better for 50 euros more

    Small 10w amp with a transistor channel clean and overdrive, rglage gain and contour.

Saturation is fat and trs type ac / dc and co, one can approach a metal pushing the gain and contour the bottom but the sound tends to be a bit messy, opt for a effect pedals for that use.
    I used it mostly with the pots and contour to gain 3 / 4 to get that hard rock sound typical 70/80 's, however lack of effect is felt and a little reverb would welcome t, c is a nice amp for beginners, but we feel quickly at the sound limits proposed.
    The volume is more than enough about it from the perspective of the game apart, I've never pushed back.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is my first amp and I have used for 3 years, first alone and then with various pedals disfoncionnement following the overdrive channel.
    I am all to this spontanment MODEL knew because I did not marshall amp and seemed a guarantee of quality.
    The report quality price right the silent era, but this amp is clearly Submitted Exceeds I sold it and replaced it for a price equivalent by Microcube.
    The main complaints I have this amp is the total absence of effects and dgradation progressive sound (on my MODEL anyway) that I ultimately private channel overdrive.

    10 watt amp with a knob for the clean [volume], for two overdrive [volume and gain] and one tone for two and a button to change between the two.

    UTILIZATION

    The setup is basic, it is to have the minimum version of Marshall.
    Just press on overdrive for a good sound.

    SOUNDS

    I got a Squier Stratocaster and I loved the OD is really the biggest advantage of this amp. The clean sound is good but not great.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had six months and the overdrive is unfortunately dead. The sound is deteriorating quickly. The cabinet also is dead, I have to play with headphones. In short, it's fine to start without breaking the bank.

    The overdrive channel is too rough, and gives its too cold, too metal.
    The clean channel does its job, it is not sensational, but is perfect for beginners.
    Power is ample for personal use, all alone in a room for example. But do not make a scene ..!
    The outline provides a more "edge" or more "round" (I put in quotes because it is to exaggerate).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 10 months, and I think seriously about replacing it.
    I got my Cort X2 at the same time, but I was already a year behind folk guitar.
    This receiver is suitable for beginners, and only for beginners, because once the ear has "made", that 's even bother.
    I got as a gift, so the price / quality ratio is not too bad ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    It is here that we enter the major weakness of this amp:
    I play with a Les Paul GT at Gibson with humbuckers so splitables therefore a fairly versatile guitar that sounds great on my Fender amp.
    In the light of the settings can force me to play with the tone of my guitar but I can have a good sound even see well and has low volume.
    on the other hand like the overdrive channel also without a slurry is downright unusable at once the lack of switch is no longer a problem since two years I had to put 3 times in overdrive and I gave up.
    Fortunately, it accepts pedals well enough
    Finally last point the headphone jack to an equalization different from the amp lamp so it a bit boring must re-set the tone every time you plug the headphones ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it at a rate of 1 hour per day for 1 year and 1 / 2.
    The pros:
    small
    cheap OCCAZ
    headphone practice night
    HP = little bit of bass = happy neighbors
    The -:
    expensive new (I got screwed by the salesman that I also transferred my addresses from)
    headphone amp requiring Readjust
    Overdrive channel useless

    With experience I will turn to the lamp (the Blackstar HT 5 I like it well)
    The value for money is not bad if we will take OCCAZ with a overdrive pedal

    10-watt solid-state amp
    One guitar input, one CD input
    One output with speaker simulation, one headphones output
    Easy setting:
    Clean channel volume control
    Overdrive channel volume and gain controls
    Common tone control
    Ideal to play at home with headphones at night and with the small 6.5" speaker during the day. I bought it for exactly these applications.


    UTILIZATION

    Considering the limited control possibilities, you can easily get a good sound: I just set the volume and tone depending on the sound I want to get. I just miss the possibility to select the channels with a footswitch.

    SOUNDS

    The the amp's biggest drawback:
    I play a Gibson Les Paul GT with splittable pickups. It's a pretty versatile guitar and it sounds very good with my Fender amp.
    The limited setting possibilities of the clean channel force me to use the tone pots of the guitar. Nonetheless, the sound is good, also at low output levels.
    On the other hand, the overdrive channel produces an awfully muddy sound and is no use at all. Thus the lack of channel selector is not a problem. I've used the overdrive channel three times or so in two years; I gave up.
    Luckily, the amp works quite good with stomp boxes.
    Last remark: the headphones sound quite different than the amp. It's a bit annoying because you must readjust the EQ every time you connect the headphones...


    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it about one hour par day for 18 months.
    Pros:
    Small
    Not expensive on the secondhand market
    Convenient headphones output
    Small speaker = discrete low frequencies = happy neighbors
    Cons:
    Expensive if new
    The headphones output requires the readjusting of the amp's settings
    Useless overdrive channel

    Based on my experience, I would buy a tube amp again (for example a Blackstar HT 5).
    Good value for money if you buy it secondhand with an overdrive pedal.
