    Marshall MG10CDPublished on 01/21/08 at 12:45

    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.
    Not more than 25 cm tall ...

    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.

    Transistor amplifier 10 watts. Guitar input, headphone, line-out - cd input.
    2 channels:

    A tone for both.

    UTILIZATION

    Nothing is easier to use, not need the manual. A 3-band EQ would have been welcome. Trrrès sounds are easy to find as there is a level adjustment mediums.

    SOUNDS

    It is suitable for all styles. I use it with my epiphone sg. The clean is not too bad. With the tone at max volume and pushing it can be done cruncher.

It's not great but it will be suitable for apprentices bluesmen. ^ ^ It's still useful because in overdrive, the large distortion happens quickly, so be gentle on the gain. You can have are rock with high tone and metal sounds not too bad otherwise.
    10 watt is good for the room, or repeat limit if your group is not violent. ^ ^ In fact, I explain to the noobs, this is not the power fail, but the sound is ugly high volume and small hp only broadcast in one direction.
    To play in distortion, I usually just drop the tone of my guitar, the sound of the amp with a lot of treble.
    The strength of this amp, its just the sound clear, the overdrive is quite dirty and noisy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp since I started scratching the power, that is, as I write this test for two years. It's been several months since I used more than travel amp.
    I like it for its small size and robustness.
    I did not try before you buy it because I did not know anything yet in her, and I trusted the reviews.
    The MG10 has a good value for money, although he lost heavily against the Beringher AC108.
    I do not have that choice would do with experience, because for a few dollars more, you can have a much better amp!

    Small guitar amp Marshall MG10CD transistors.
    Power 10W
    It has an INPUT jack, CD and MP3 port, a port "Emulated Line Out" which I do not know what it is.
    It has two channels, a Clean and Overdrive.
    On the amp there is a Volume knob for Clean making the crunch when you start up the volume more than half a button to use the OverDrive for the Overdrive was a gain knob, a knob volume.
    For the contour, we have a Tone knob.

    A small 3-band Equalizer would not hurt u_u

    A small 3-band Equalizer would not hurt u_u

    UTILIZATION

    Setup is simple with the little knobs you have, even if the volume button is annoying because you can feel the diffrence when it is running well, too bad if we only wanted to play a little less strong (well, is also a volume knob on the guitar, but many other amps that have no default).
    It really galre to get a good sound, the sound is aggressive and perant hurt the ears, their tone is nothing at all (you will notice that the knobs of DCAL is taken over time, the Clean is not bad, but Crunch is really the shit bote. The amp n'arrte not grsiller and its perant is deafening.
    With the gain knob that has a distortion grsiller for drinking must be put back, all fawns died as the amp is too grsille embtant a.
    The manual is not bad, when trying to setup, even if a nice ring to it on their site, us, sounds even when rotten.

    Its only advantage might be that it takes much distortion pedals with a good would be fine.

    SOUNDS

    This amp will suit someone with his Overdrive, which allows only to play the big rock, punk, metal and light (you can not play with the big metal or rock vintage) and in addition, the amp is just gr Siller.

    I have an Ibanez GRG170DX jou microphones are rotten it is true, but you could hear the Roland agreements while on this amp is defined as a hubbub, I tried a Epiphone EM-1, his silent but less brouhaha brouhaha even when (as I have better pickups on the Ibanez) grsillements could hear well and the neck pickup that sounds slamming out a deafening sound.

    The only sound that I like are the clean low volume.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The amp is not me, but my friend uses it for a year.

    I just love the look of the amp, nothing has sduit part in the Marshall MG SERIES is shit!

    This is the amp I deuxime test before I had a test Microcube Roland 30X Ibanez guitar sound of my friend sounded completely different = O

    The report quality price of this abomination is less, they sell 74, it sounds like the little Peavey perant that for the same power and even his cotent 30 less.
    The true price of the Marshall is 40, pays more than anything else the logo l.
    He regretted this choice and with the exprience it would have taken a small Fender 10 less that sounds better than this shit.

    - 10W transistor
    - 2 channels with channel selector and volume controls independent.
    - Control contour.
    - Output Line / MP3 input
    - Headphone output with HP emulation
    - 1 HP 6.5 ".
    - Dim (mm): 296 x 314 x 175 / Weight: 4.8 Kg

    UTILIZATION

    The configuration is "could not be more simple". In addition, the manual shows examples of configurations for different musical styles.
    The manual also serves just this purpose, and more ...
    It's almost the "Plug and Play" for easy to adjust.

    Although it is a Marshall, the sound is very average.
    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 ^ ^

    This is nice

    Marshall MG10CDPublished on 07/31/11 at 13:49
    If you are a Marshall nut like myself and you are in need or a good sounding practice amp then this might be the amp for you. This is a low watt headphone featured and this was really the predecessor to the MG series amps.The dirty channel gets a nice crunch sound with plenty of versatility when mixing up contour control knob with the gain control knob. The surprising thing is that this amp is 40 watts. You wouldn't think it by first glance but it has a load of volume in it.

    UTILIZATION

    This is a very simple amp to use. You have three control knobs and those are gain, contour, and volume. There is also a boost for the amp that kicks in a few db of volume but also gets the amp to saturate a lot more pushing it into a modded Marshall tone.

    SOUNDS

    This amp very easy to use. You have one channel and that has three control knobs one for gain, one for volume, and one for the EQ contour. The contour is an EQ sweep that reacts more to the mids than anything. So it is more of midrange sweep type control. It is very useful when dialing in the right voicing for your tone. It is much like the tone knob on your guitar.

    I like this amp with a humbucking style guitar such as a Gibson Les Paul or a SuperStrat. It like having that double coil pickup with the thick chewy distortion this amp can get. This amp can push a lot of volume with 40 watts of power. You can get more volume than you would probably need out of a practice amp, but hey maybe you can use this to take to your band practice as well.

    OVERALL OPINION

    You can no longer get these amps on the new market. They have been long since discontinued and replaced by the MG series amps from Marshall. It is a not the best sounding amp, but granted it is solid state sound but the whole reason you would buy this is for the simplicity of it to use silently in a hone or office and or just practicing.

    I would recommend this amp to anyone who is looking for a good practice amp that wants a good distortion and a good clean channel and doesn't want to break the bank to purchase it.

    2 years since I played with, in fact I installed the chassis in a 10-inch box that sounds serious.
    I took the 2 15w (cdr and dfx) and small 10w is the one that sounds the best, least trafficked into the sound.
    Normally, there almost nothing on the way!

    The output line out is great, because independent (do not cut the hp) and offset, thanks to it I use the mg10 in Triphonie (dry in the middle, and with delay / reverb via line out on two active boxes on each side) and you really have to experience it as well.

    The amp accepts any driver hp 8 ohm minimum, even a 4x12!

    The clean the rest of a long, fairly hairy gain starts still muddy cleat to finish by noon cons / an hour it is very nice.

    is extremely simple but not boring either.

    SOUNDS

    It is very pleasant, honest and direct and well in rough drive. Transparent enough, especially compared to a spider or cube or vox Modeling.
    Given the lack of eq, you have to play with a big hp external and there is rather amazing!

    The clean does not win to be pushed to cruncher of course, and as the drive is so I would say it mg10 (like 15) do not allow the normal blues. Clean sound is pretty too but just not right so we can work without too much despair.

    The drive is well balanced and spanned rock without (headroom spent an hour being adapted to micro weaklings). I love that sound, rhythm that suits both in solo and like any marshall super reacts to the volume of the guitar to brighten the sound.

    I let the contour between mini and 9 hours in my config.

    The sound in the beginning, in its box with a small hp 6 inches (not the original one that was lame), is quite nice and straight, and sounds less boiboite microcube or a DA5. In this case the contour opens her well, I put more towards 12:00 to 1:00. Few serious of course, a DA5 has more as it is, but to work mg10 this is nice, we hear very well what we did, and the clean sound is softer than on my external box. Like what ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    It is the cleanest amp for 7 string at home, not a sinecure in the apartment '...

    Very useful thanks to its line out, especially since it sounds good on sound and more.
    Attention it leaves the mic level, so low impedance / level, effect adjustable input needed here.

    If you are a bit handy, have a box available and a good offer on mg go ahead it's amazing.

    If nothing z'avez cons nor the inclination to put their hands in the dough, take a Vox DA5 is really well as a small amp, the Marshall is too expensive for what it offers in comparison.

    Very versatile little

    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    10 watt transistor amp
    1 guitar input, CD input
    emulated output and another for the headphone
    Simple adjustments:
    a clear volume
    volume and gain overdrive
    a tone control common
    Wholesale ideal amp for the headphones apart in the night and the little hp 6.5 "(I think) for the day is also why I bought it at the base.

    UTILIZATION

    Since little adjustment is quickly obtained good sound: I set the tone and volume on the sound I want. Certainly be a possibility to switch both channels at the base because the button and lost between the volume and gain so the foot must be in sock if we wish to achieve.

    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.
