Marshall MG30DFX
Published on 04/23/05 at 15:00I spent a good couple of months searching for my first amplifier, and came around to narrowing my field down to a Roland Cube 30, Line 6 Spider 30 or the Marshall MG 30DFX. It ended up costing around $420 Australian Dollars from Turramurra Music in Sydney, around $50 more than the other two amplifiers.
(The parentals had a small thing about me getting a bigger amp)
The MG 30 DFX has brilliant tone on the clean channel. Playing an ESP Ltd EC-300 with EMG-HZ passives through the amp, I can gain a wide range of tones from a bluesy sound to a near perfect acoustic tone.

The MG 30 DFX has brilliant tone on the clean channel. Playing an ESP Ltd EC-300 with EMG-HZ passives through the amp, I can gain a wide range of tones from a bluesy sound to a near perfect acoustic tone.
The four effects: reverb, chorus, flange and delay, work well considering the MG 30DFX is nothing more than a small practice amp. But, if you're serious buy some decent pedals - they'll sound a whole lot better.
For a thirty-watter the MG 30DFX delivers fair volume, but unfortunately it still won't get you over a drumkit.
I occassionally get a rattling noise if I've been playing for too long.
The overdrive can sometimes, also, be too "gainy". That is, the distortion compromises the various notes you want to hear. Great if you want to practice heavier Nu-Metal tunes (eg Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc), but I tend to turn the gain right down to "3" for Metallica, Velvet Revolver and the such.
The amp doesn't come with a footswitch either, even though it has the plug. Means leaning over to press teh channel button every time, which can get irritating.
The body of the amplifier is built to take a fair beating, as are the controls and plugs. However, if you to really kick around your amp I'd go a roland cube, just because they're so much heavier duty.
Good practice amp for someone playing harder rock to all-out metal. Nice, bodied, clean sound too; which is good for a blues or jazz sound, or even for rock.
A great practice amp for electric beginners, but not for those with more experience.

Marshall MG 30DFX
Published on 11/23/04 at 15:00Got it for $250 at Guitar center
needed a practice amp,
I LIke playing with the built in fx(reverb'delay'chorus'flange). Its distortion is over the top. The sound of htis amp is better than any other marshall in the MG series.
This amp should come with an included footswitch since it has a footswitch input on the front panel
Very well made, will last about 5- 10 years before going back to a shop for repairs
This amp kicks ass and blows any other amp in this price range out of the water.

Published on 11/12/04 at 15:00Just like everything else I own, I bought this from Mucisian's Friend vis the internet. I coughed up $250 for this amp to go along with my newly aquired Epiphone Elite Les Paul Standard.
First of all the amp looks great. It also doesn't hurt that the Marshall name is so prominenty displayed in white letters on the black background but that's not why I bought it. I must have read hundreds of reviews on small amps and practice amps before I found a consensus on one that sounds good, has great capability and doesn't cost a fortune. So I bought it and I love it. It's small, powerful and loaded with effects like reverb, chorus, delay and flange. I love to plug my CD player into it and jam along…Read moreJust like everything else I own, I bought this from Mucisian's Friend vis the internet.

After six months of use I haven't found anything wrong with mine yet. I use it almost every day and it always delivers.
Although I haven't done anything like take this amp on tour or run over it with a truck, it does feel very sturdy. I do accidently bang it arround once in a while but it doesn't have a mark on it and looks and feels like quality stuff. I get no noise, feedback, pops, hiss or anything but what I want from the sound. All the knobs and switches work well and feel smooth all the way through their range. I tell it the same thing my wife tells me, "You're a great piece of work"!
Wonderful little amp for practicing or intimate performances. The price belies what you can expect from this little honey. It may be the best $250 investment I ever made.

this amp is great quality and has great sound. it allows you to get a bright clean tone and also good distortion. the built in effects are cool because it allows you to stretch beyond the bondries of a normal amp and use effects to improve your sound.oh and its LOUD.

Marshall MG30 DFX
Published on 01/16/04 at 15:00Bought this amp for a Christmas present for myself at Guitar Center for $249.
Good sound for a small amp and the built in effects are slick.
After two weeks the sound starting cutting out. It would happen sporadically but seemed to get worse over time. Took it back to guitar center and was told that I wasn't the first one to have this problem. The salesman said that there have been some chronic problems with the MG line. Rather than take a chance on another low end Marshall I traded it for another brand.
The amp is well built and looks good. Too bad the reliability is so poor.

Marshall MG30DFX
Published on 01/09/04 at 15:00Paid: $250 American Currency
Acquired at: RIT Music North
I bought this Amplifier because i needed an Amp that was portable yet loud.
I liked the Marshall MG30DFX because it had Reverb, Chorus, Flange,
It's a MARSHALL there isnt anything to hate about it.
The amp is built very well and is very strong. it weighs 28 lbs.
Overall the amp is better than whatever the hell u own right now. Because if you have a tube amplifier you are a lucky son of a bitch.

I want good sound, and mg30dfx is the amp that gives it. The overdrive channel creates a tube feeling especially with the fdd (Marshall's technology that emulates a valve amp). You can use it for blues with crunchy OD (low gain) or for metal with high "gained" OD. It's NOT dull because of the very good Marshall speaker. Clean channel has a seperate equalizer, without mid frequencies, but you'll soon understand that you don't need them for clean tones.

The digital effects are all of good use, and you can hear them in lot of metal, and blues songs. The OD hiss level that it produces is very low even with simple coil, but with good humbucker you got that we call... silence.
A Marshall is a Marshall. You'll like everything on this amp especially if you exeprienced problems with other crappy amplifiers. Although I noticed a buzzing at volumes 5-10 with bass at 10 playing palm riffs. This buzzing comes from the front net-cover which trembles due to the air rumbling that comes form the speaker and produces this buzzing. The net-cover should be made of hard cloth not from plastic :/
Heavy structure gives you the feeling that it can last everything. Although some parts that should be made of steel are plastic lowering the price paid. Sound quality is not affected though. You can say that it's well made and can last many things. But the net-cover matterial SHOULD be less buzzing.
A nice amp that you're gonna like.

Published on 06/04/03 at 15:00I paid £139 from Wavelength Music Sheffield.
I bought it because the sounded better than the others in its price range.
The sound is fantastic. Because of its lack of valves there is no background noise at all. I don't use this live I use it for recording so 30 Watts is plenty enough.
PS. The digital effect gives you the warmth of valves without any of the hassle.
The clean channel is very clean and the overdrive channel is typical Marshall.
The digital effects sound great; reverb, echo, chorus and flanger.

Although the Digital FX control is easy to use there's a great deal of control, having said that it still gets excellent results.
The setup means you can only actually use one effect at a time, i.e. you can't use chorus with reverb or echo.
The construction quality is top notch.
This is everything you'd expect from a great sounding Marshall Amp, excep the price that is.

The only bad things are the weight (can be cumbersome when moving about) and the fact that it makes you want to play your guitar until your fingers bleed.
The amp is as solid as a rock. It's great just to look at. Its a Marshall....NUFF SAID.
If your making a step up from begginer, this amp will give you the versatiliy and punch that you've been longing for. You could spend hours fiddling about with knobs finally getting that song you've practiced sounding the way it should. Its a gem!!!

Also i like to just fiddle around with some blues lead, so i just change the settings a little and there you go, a perfect blues distortion. The clean channel is great aswell. If you know the song 'Cemetary Gates' by Pantera, you can just put the clean channel on, kick in the chorus effect and play the intro, then kick in the distortion and shred till your arm falls off. This amp keeps you entertained for hours, and in my opinion, the 30watts is plenty.
There isnt much i dont like about this amp....all i have to do really is get used to using an amp (settings etc.) because ive been playing an ibanez acoustic. (this is my first amp and electric). Oh....the amp doesnt come with a footswitch, that sort of sucks, and also you can only use 1 effect at a time.. oh by the way, i dont think i mentioned the effects (chorus, reverb, flange and delay). one other thing, there is no Master Volume, their are only seperate ones for each channel.
The construction is good...there is no back board though..but i just put my lead and chord in their, so that works out. I dont nknow much else about the quality and construction.
This amp is awesome, and i recommend it to anyone...well maybe not to the people with a hell of alot of money..cuz then i'd recommend Mesa-Boogie's or higher range Marshalls. Anyway..go out and buy it.. its defentally worth them money. You can get pretty much the same amp without built in effects for cheaper...but the effects keep you entertained for longer...and you can try new things.

Published on 06/20/02 at 15:00I paid £130 (UK) for this amp form MCM in Glasgow. Up till then, i had a 10w Marshall practise amp and a huge bass amp to play through so i felt i deserved a new amp.
Everything.

Read moreI paid £130 (UK) for this amp form MCM in Glasgow. Up till then, i had a 10w Marshall practise amp and a huge bass amp to play through so i felt i deserved a new amp.
Everything. The range of sounds is wicked, you can get everything from a clean bright tone to a heavey metal sound (if you really want). the effects are really cool (reverb, delay, flange and chorus), i use reverb the whole time and delay is quite cool, but chorus and flange i havent really worked out what theyre for yet... Its also quite loud for just a 30w amp. i was going to get the 50w model but £100 for 20watts didnt seem worth it. I havent ventured near about half of a turn of the volume nob in our practise room yetIts really sturdy too, you could drop it, its made of real thick wood. It also has this botton you press and its supposed to emulate the sound of a valve amp which is pretty cool, i just leave that switched on the whole time.
But i mostly like just the look of all those nobs and buttons to fiddle with(and that marshall logo)
Its advertised as having two footswitchable channels, so i was expecting a footswitch, but you have to buy those separatly i understand, which sucks a bit, theyre quite cheap though i think.
Also you can only use one digital effect at once (so i just leave it on reverb), they had to cut costs somehow i guess, and also no master volume, only one for each channel. These are minor niggles though.
As i said above it seems well made and ive had no problems with it yet. its made of thick wood, and has caps on the corners. All the nobs feel good quality, you can tell if they are cheap and plasticy but these ones arent.
Its a great amp. I got it out of the box when it came in the mail like a kid at ChristmasI love playing through it and havent stopped practising for a long time now... there are one or two small things but they are no big deal.

Great phaser
Published on 11/08/11 at 22:53This Marshall MG30DFX has loads of amazing sounds built in, from the absolutely shiniest clean to the phasiest delayful reverberations full of tonal variations and zoological machinations. Everything's adjustable. Start with the amp set on clean and adjust it into a herd of stampeding wildebeests. Or you can choose from the many, many presets and turn them from interesting sounds into ZOMGoodies-my-junks-on-fire nonrhythmic-dance-of-doom madness from early 80's "Reagan's gonna kill us all" punk.

Or you can choose from the many, many presets and turn them from interesting sounds into ZOMGoodies-my-junks-on-fire nonrhythmic-dance-of-doom madness from early 80's "Reagan's gonna kill us all" punk.
UTILIZATION
It can be very loud - if you are playing small clubs, this will easily handle it, and if you are playing larger places, you will be mic-ing your amp anyway. I've been using Line 6 Gearbox and Podfarm for years, this amp has the great amp simulation and effects I am used to - and more, including a simple looper.
SOUNDS
No matter what sound you are looking for, you can play with the controls and find it with this amp, anything form a clean Fender twang for country music, to heavy metal shredding, or spacey David Gilmour/Robin Trower sounds are included with the presets. For those *tube purists*: if you can't get the sound you want out of this amp, you are just not trying!
OVERALL OPINION
The big advantage over a tube amp is you do not have to crank the volume up on this amp to get the tone you want. To take full advantage of this amp you need to get one of the FBV foot pedals, Also, there is only 1 input jack and 1 input channel and you cannot plug in an extra speaker cabinet, either. The headphone jack doubles as a DI output for recording or to feed to a PA system - and although this amp only has 1 speaker, this output is stereo when you use stereo F/X - note that it cuts off the speaker when you use it.

UTILIZATION
The manual is clear and excellent sound optenir Marshall is a reflex that can be learned quickly on this type of gear. has not detailed the presets doc (jazz, fusion, clean etc ...)
SOUNDS
Good, clean the FDD does wonders (hallucinating) with my Fender Stratocaster Signature Nono.
The sound is pure, catchy, powerful and does not suffer any default. A real killing.
Mode are the Jazz are a crunchy and wish you almost forget that c is a transistor amp.
Mode or trash Epy Fusion on my Les Paul Standard 2002 amp perfs shows almost similar to big brother VST.
on the other hand on my Gibson Les Paul Class 5 perfs the collapse and the amp is not at all the height of the power of microphones. The game is flat, the distortion is dirty and amplification is far from reaching the sonic excellence that need a custom shop (even remark on the Start). In order to prevent the merger or the trash that is clear.
OVERALL OPINION
The MG30DFX I use for more than six months, it offers a good compromise for a price gun.
It is really excellent in its clean but the gain is pushed too far the average distortion is really far from the top model and it was soon forced to curb his enthusiasm.
This is an amp that will find a prominent place a cot in your stack too greedy in Watts ...See less00Da_gratteux

OVERALL OPINION
Well, Marshall is good, but only when y 'in lights ... Otherwise this amp is nice for beginners who can not afford to snap hundreds and thousands in a stack or a large tube combo, but it's 30 watts, and the entry level, therefore not expect a miracles!See less00El_ré

Overdrive channel, prcis, enjoyable, warm, but they mount model gain (distortion!) Background, was drooling a little bit of all my senses but cots while remaining within the enjoyable all the same.

I use it for a few days and I'm relatively happy that the amp Line 6 Spider II 15W prt I had been good value quality price as given that I Pay him 200 ..
I think it should after all beginners As a result of people wanting to play in the apartment Confirms' or chezeux as 30W ... qYes not cover battery, even full rgime.
Finally I would say that this amp is cool, trs versatile, but may be I would have chosen the VOX AD30VT if I had more money, after you test the two, because for me it is the two best power and config equivalent.See less00roro_400

So for the price around 300 euros, I recommend the Vox AD30VT (yes I know I ramble), which many possde modlisations amp (including several all-tube Marshall JCM so much better than the MG ...) a pakson effects are worse and a lamp, so the power hello!!
