Best value: Excellent
15 Watt Marshall amp transistor with an input pr skyscraper, a CD input for connecting an audio source and a headphone jack. Strong and small, Lger.
The only effect on this amp is reverb ... all this is a bit simplistic, but still effective all the same, especially for beginner, it's good!

UTILIZATION

Very simple, just a volume knob for clean and one for the overdrive, a gain, one treble, one bass and a contour, and finally settle for a reverb (+ a button to activate the famous amp simulation lamp presents all the amp MG series, which has ultimately serves boost the sound a bit).
The manual is clear, but almost useless (except for beginner but you still even be head picks for tampering not understand a bit).
Is obtained easily because the little knobs and the sound is not bad for an amp of this Category:-small-not much, doing office Gnrale first amp (it was my case included in a pack with a guitar) but you can find better and more diversified for a 10-15aine euros more (see review overall).
But it keeps deserves to be simple!

SOUNDS

Good this amp really act first amp or amp booster ... not anymore.
The sounds are clean ... clean. The overdrive is not that great, but you can get good sounds ptit blues, crunch, rock, hard rock and pushing a max, almost a little mtal (palm-mute). But hey c is not exceptional, it remains less than 100 amps!
I played it with a Whale (guitar beginner's pack) and then with my ESP LTD KH-202.
I then changed to a line 6 amp SpiderValve 212 (lamp so), ba is the day and night at his level ... but also size and price ^ ^ "
In short, it's still good sound, you can dpatouiller with. I even managed to make some repeated pushing to half 3 / 4 volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it to end 2005 end 2009, and it served me well! For a first amp, he was so pretty, but maybe the prfrez MG15 DFX (for effects and more).
It can also use extra amp, but I think microcube are better quality and its diversity. Because it's true default is to have diversified sounds not truly possible (you can go get ... ... 5 sounds really DIFFERENT while in overdrive).
But hey, qualitprix report is good, but if I had to choose, or if I had several tests / advice before buying my first amp in the same price range, I would port to the MG15 DFX or better microcube of Roland (100 and tip top).
