« Marshall MG15CDR »
Published on 03/18/03 at 15:00Basically, my old small practice amp had blown, too much fuzz for it through my zoom 505. I went along to my local guitar shop, and had a look around, i finally decided on the MG15CDR over a standard MG15CD, due to the reverb, which i will come to later.
I paid £88 for the amp, which is list price, as nowhere in the UK (online that is) has them below this price.
For the price, this is a superbly well built amp, for practice, and the small gig environment. It is far superior to my kustom KLA16R, which has the same features, no real difference when clean, it is clear and has as much depth as you want. The difference occurs when the distortion is turned on. My guitar (an epiphone les paul custom) gives a superb sound and when reverb is added a beautiful and deep sound is created. All round a good amp
Occasional random feedback when the distortion is max, i haven't experienced this on any other amps on which ive played, but this isn't often, and so doesnt matter too much. The FDD button although good, is seemingly pointless, as it only seems to up the volume slightly, with only a slight depth increase. Not enough reverb for the 'surf'style sound on clean, just enough twang!
Superbly well built, adequate clearance on the knobs etc, seemingly well constructed, doesnt have the 'im gonna fall apart after one gig' sort of feel!!!
top class amp, for practice and smaller gig environments, well worth the investment over the MG15CD
