Best value: Excellent
This is the new (2009) model, I wait a long time, Marshall has finally made the total it's nice. Analog parallel digital effects and programmable! 4 channels, clear-od-rock solo. 15 watts but no big noise as the old series, mini jack phones out (finally) and in which the volume is set by the master (the total top practice). Footswitch jack for the pedal (50 euros extra) which gives access to 4 sounds more tuner. Top: the delay is over when you change channels, it's a class act! The HP 8 inches, well it's going to help but connect a 12-inch external, or 412 for the sound. Rock'n'roll

UTILIZATION

Absolutely Extremely easy, clear and legible for the pedals I do not know (yet). The four channels deliver the basic sounds, there's more we turn the knobs and press store. Cool.

SOUNDS

First of all, with his little hp it means but fortunately not too sharp. Normal. On a 12 inch that breathes for good, as normal. I deplore the headphone too treble bees (AKG 240studio, top with all the other guitar sound devices). Compared to the previous MG15, the bass is finally here, the crunch too (finer to be paid), and everything is better in fact. The clean is great, really clean, but the chorus is hot and dimensional, though. The rock crunch remains in the soul, blues rough, with the delay is great. The rock is tight compact, ideal for rhythmic hell, but still pretty good definition dirty. The lead is consistent with a long delay in the living room is Gary! The reverb is in addition to other effects, the total at this price. It's very marshall, typed. It penetrates well into the mix, cool to be heard. However the definition of sets is in terms of price, no miracle either.

OVERALL OPINION

2 times I had the sound of a metronome with reverb, lighting gear, fixed back on. It's a great amp for fun and work seriously. The analog sound really makes the difference compared to 30watts spider3 I own too. Both amps have the same purpose, but I still choose the marshall, true. I put all ten, no defects for its price and very usable in the absolute.

Update: I bought the pedals, cheap, and frankly it's so essential it's better! Chromatic tuner Tap tempo change over the 4-channel ... No latency, and to move to lead the rhythm is the same switch, great for solo lines with short sentences.
This pedal can also be programmed in every way, I let you see the instruction manual of the combo for more info.
The level, use the clean is too low compared with three other sounds, and everything sounds pretty sly but always a hair chemical highs, especially with a Start. I would say that Marshall is best for double coils (especially since it has no noise gate).
I prefer the line6 spider4 30w, more versatile and relevant sound level (more expensive, alas).
Update: Nevertheless, I sold the spider and kept this little mg ... except that I only made up his mind and frankly it is ultra compact and lightweight. It sounds great on a box 12pouces, more hp it runs out of steam and sounds much less.
Tip: with a simple level converter connected to the output of the radio mg I can drive any power amplifier (my fame VS30 for example, two EL34) with the true simulation without the hp required to the headphone output. ..
Hence my suggestion Msieu marshall: the same but with a preamp output stage for EL34 is the total (analog, programmable, embedded mixed effect immediately, pedals great, low price made in toulaba requires !)...
