All user reviews of 1/5 for the Marshall MG30DFX

30W Marshall amp, 4 or bundled effects (and we're talking about ... pffffffff modlisation amps), basic connectivity, no attnuateur, crap ...

USE

The configuration is complqiue paradoxically basic ... It was super simple effects: chorus flanger, reverb and delay, but they put 3/4 hour to find a clean sound, finally I managed less find one nice: press OFF.

SONORITS

Led Zeppelin, Queen, lynyrd skynyrd, -M-, voil what I play roughly, and had strongly advisable for me this amp when I have given these artists .... I bought it and .... OUiiiiiiiin that it sucks !!! The sounds are okay in the clear (even good), but I men royal care, I vouails the so-called Marshall distortion !!! Sellers have said, yes, I do not know how they do, but though has to be manufactured in the core, we sound like Marshall ... pffffffffffff, anything, I a buddy who posde Marshall lamps, and bah it's not too the same thing, when we play together I feel I joueavec guitar Zinc is ultra rotten zero ... not without remorse (nan but say so !!!)

NOTICE GLOBAL

3 months has remained in my room, I sold 70 euros so i was rachter press to another !! How arnauqe !!! 280euros ??? buy Line6 Vox Valvetronix or peavey but none !!!!

Bought 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.

I would have been very satisfied with this amp had it continued to perform like the first week I had it. Check into the reliability problems before you buy one and make sure the dealer's return policy is good. Guitar Center was great about taking it back.

'Ti nice Marshall 30W transistor, with multiple effects numriques, chorus, flanger, reverb.
The knobs are gniaux, the amp heavy, rather good looking ...

UTILIZATION

It's super simple but it's the prcarit of rglages ... The effects are minimal for an amp so-called "MODLIST," we limit the chorus, flanger, the delay and revarb: it is poor ....
The sound ... bah I talk APRS, and the manual, not prselections bx but remains whether it is free ...

SOUNDS

I play rock, heavy rock or year group, and bah I'm glad to be e ^ spar ...^_^ There's now two months (for a Vox AD30VT chuuuuuuuut ... .. ..). Srieusement the disto trs is correct for the blues, but we want ds to play more rock 'overdrivquot;, uh bah ... it's the pan, it is far trs but then the JCM Lumire shekels (I know it's not the same price but it's just to say that the sound Marshall is not there ...). And then you bah the mtal I not mention is catastrophic, the sound bart Lollipop, we reoit Aiges full of the eardrums, it insuportAAAABLE! Bred = yes blues, rock (little rock) = yes, big rock and mtal = Yes for mazos, so actually not ...

OVERALL OPINION

I used 8 months (bah yeah I know I take long to find one who wanted this acqureur * / ^ !!!). And then now that I have my Vox I am more than happy, I feel like replaying the guitar!! ^ _ ^
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!! In short do not take this dung, are the Aesthetics and brand, which is the price (if the amp silent manufactured by price leader, it would be in 3 or 4 euros ... ...) !

The Marshall MG30DFX is Marshall's attempt at a small wattage (30 watts) practice amp that follows the Line 6/Peavey trend of adding onboard effects. It features 2 channels each with its own EQ, a digital reverb, a few cheesy onboard effect (chorus, flanger, etc) and the promise of killer tone in a small package backed by the Marshall name. Here's a full list of specs:

Features:
Twin footswitchable channels - Clean and Overdrive
Independent tone controls for Bass amd Treble on each channel
Contour Control for dramatic mid sweep and "scooping"
Emulated Line Out jack and Headphone jack
CD input which allows you to play along to your favorite discs
Built-in Digital Effects - Reverb, Chorus, Flange, and Delay
10 in. custom-voiced speaker
FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping)

UTILIZATION

This amp is not easy to get a good tone out of simply because it's not a great sounding amp. Unlike similar practice amps from Vox, Peavey or Line 6, this amp just falls short tonally in just about every way. The EQ controls are near uselss for my tastes and the channels have a thin and metallic quality that's not pleasing to the ear at all. The onboard effects sound cheesy and don't help things either, and the stock 10 inch speaker is particularly wimpy and skittish sounding... a far cry from the excellent tones out of other small 30w amps of the same ilk.

SOUNDS

I've tried this amp with various single coil and humbucker loaded guitars and keep coming to the same sad conclusion. The amp really just does not sound good! The clean channel is lifeless and dull and can only really be helped when reverb is added. As a dry clean tone though it doesn't inspire creativity in the slightest. The drive channel is really just grainy and buzzy sounding. There isn't much I could do to make the sound work for my tastes... especially considering they took away the midrange control for a very strange and useless "contour" control that seems to just scoop the mids out as you turn it up.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Marshall MG Series amps are not a wise investment. There are many, many better options for a 30w practice amp with effects like the Peavey Vypyr 30 or the Line 6 Spider IV 30. This amp doesn't sound good, the controls really don't do much to help that, and given Marshall's questionable reliability as of late, I wouldn't expect one to last long without issues either... don't bother.

UTILIZATION

I want to start off by saying that I didn't actually buy this amp, it has a hand-me-down from my older brother. That being said, it was my first amp. Let me tell you, this amp is nasty in all respects. The foot-switch cable for the channel switching was always shorting, the tolex is uber thin, and the power cord frayed very badly where it met the amp chassis. Marshall really did cut just about every corner that they could with this amp, even the knobs feel cheap when you turn them. It both looks and feel incredibly cheap when compared to my Peavey Ultra.

SOUNDS

The sound picks up where the quality left off. The clean channel is dull and life-less, and the Overdrive sounds like a jar-o-bees. I ran this with a BC Rich Warbeast NJ Deluxe with EMG's that had the 18 Volt mod done to them for about 6 months until I got a better amp, and even with that guitar it still sounded horrible. I would even take a Line 6 Spider over this any day of the week, it's just that bad.

The contour knob is almost useless, it goes from way too middy and overbearing to very scooped very quickly. I'm not sure why Marshall didn't just put in a normal mid control here, it would have been much more useful.

As far as effects go, you have two knobs to control them. One knob selects which effect and the length/rate, and the other controls the volume. I can't honestly say that the effects sound any better than the rest of the amp.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, I have to say that even if you are just looking for a practice amp to use in your bedroom there are still MUCH better amps out there. The Vox Valvetronix's are good for clean stuff and lower gain rock, and the Roland Cubes are decent for higher-gain rock and metal. I know I sound like I have nothing positive to say about this amp at all, but I do know something that you can use it for and it actually does well as: a doorstop. Though it is a little big, maybe that's why Marshall made the 15 watt version?
