USE

Very simple configuration

SONORITS

It should have my style of music of the moment and I play at home

esp ltd f-50, Ibanez "smash box" SM7

NOTICE GLOBAL

Hello,

so I bought this MG30DFX, I was very happy at the beginning, to my home was more than adequate. but for some time, I think the overdrive channel sorely lacking fishing! even with the gain background I could get the sound of departure I feel,

so I added an Ibanez pedal "smash box" SM7 but still rough ... my guitar is an LTD F-50 with micros "m ....." esp LH-100 is ... it took a hit in the pear? I know ... he has two months as well as the guitar and the pedal (all bought at the same time), if this is the case it really is not strong, so dcevant.

Marshall small, 30 watt transistor

UTILIZATION

Well, my opinion is probably not very objective, I have used one hour, but I was still helped me a notice, in use, it's boat, eq for each channel, a clear channel and a channel saturated, more built-in effects ... nice for an IDE ampl this range to find the sound of the knobs respond well ... nothing to report

SOUNDS

So the sound is good to find, but if we find that the sound is not great rotten ... I was iessayé with a BC Rich Warlock, a udébut I thought the sound of the guitar was crap, but I grew God the opportunity to be heard on other amps, so it comes right from the amp.
I found the draft and its not very accurate in distortion it sounded like a buzz, I have not found the sound much fat marshall and I was pretty disappointed, especially with a BC Rich!

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!

Dja said again and again ... 30 W 2-channel transistor adjustable base on both.
4 reverb effects integr pretty good, the rest of the anecdotal FDD can "simulate" the lamp uses a boost. that's all.

UTILIZATION

Config extremely simple, manual unnecessary.
The settings are fairly intuitive

SOUNDS

I play blues, rock trend stones / punk dolls and the Heartbreakers 77 / real kids.
good, I plugged a lot of scratches on it, good and bad, epiphone SG310 (a mistake ... yuck), esp viper with micro EMG81 (Yeah!) lespaul epi elitist (rather pretty with its micro gibson), 6122 US Gretsh (great sound Filtertrons), Epiphone Riviera Deluxe (now, a killing with his classic 57 USD). All this to say that if the guitar sucks, well the sound will be too!. Is not a lamp, so not expect him to embellish the sound of your cuillire if it is anmique. ... it will remain!
if not, well .. it's a rather nice 30 Watt to play at home or with a friend but no more ... not to take her in concert because you pushed him a little, the sound becomes more approximate . even when specially mentioned for his clear, rather better than the distortion that it drools trs quickly.
or is it the more comfortable it is on the clean channel with a branch above fuzz and reverb knob switched to 5.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used for two and a half years and he just let me go connement. While the reliability, I'd rather blah because I knew better in the past on the same mark.
report quality price is right, because today the price is around 200 euros in nine.
I had a lot of amp, the good and the best, this one is about average this low I would say. Rocktron better than equivalent but less so than some peavey or marshall transistor there ten years. I do not even speak amp lamp ... not listening to sellers when you say the FDD circuit simulates the lamps, this amp is miles away!
in retrospect, I do not take it back can be, because far too limited to domestic use. But if you beginners Why not

Any transistor amp, 30 watts 1hp 10 inches.
2 channels, effects dfx, treble bass equalization for clean channel, treble bass medium boosted channel.
footswitch jack, headphone, HP emulation, CD input.

Brief characteristics very honest.

UTILIZATION

Very very simple configuration, it can not be simpler.
I have not seen the manual, just tried in the store.
This gives the sound easily, but impossible to mount the volume to more than 4 or 5 in the clear, otherwise we have (already) a very ugly crunch ... making it impossible to use the amp hard.
In overdrive it going but nothing more, it's a 30 watt transistors nice to start, it's great for the price.

SOUNDS

It does not suit me, its too hot, too serious, which I love too much.
I tried it with a fender jagstang, I have not hooked up with this amp.

OVERALL OPINION

A good amp to start, but try before you buy, it does not suit me.
I play a Fender Frontman 25r suits me better because its more crystalline.
Excellent value for money to get started.

OVERALL OPINION

Hello,

I bought this MG30DFX I silent trs happy to beginners, to me a more than adequate. but for some time, I find the overdrive channel is sorely lacking in EHJV! even with the gain gets back I have the sound of dpart I feel,

So I added an Ibanez pedal "smash box" SM7, but still rough ... my guitar is a LTD F-50 with pickups "of m. ...." ESP LH-100 ... is what it has taken a hit in the pear? I do not know ... he has two months, and the guitar and pedal (all purchased together) if so it really is not solid, so dcevant.

30 watts guitar amp transistors.

Most:
- 2 spares legalization, one for each channel (clean and overdrive).
- 1 potentiomtre contour in the overdrive channel equalization, which strangely resembles a "Middle" reversed.
- 4 numriques Intgr effects: Reverb, Chorus, Delay, Flanger.
- One headphone jack.
- A formulation output of HP.
- From a CD.
- Between a footswitch for channel CONTRL.
- Boost HP 1 (FDD)

The -:
- No Middle potentiomtre or contour in the equalization of the channel clean.
- No Middle potentiomtre in the legalization of the channel Overdrive.
- No effects loop.
- Footswitch sold separately.

UTILIZATION

It is easy to get a clean sound drinking (all mediums dpend dlivrs by the microphones of your guitar).

With the overdrive channel, you can get sounds from the overdrive crunch lasts potentiomtres with just the outline and gain. Then simply dose the bass and treble (Treble) according to the microphone used on the guitar.

Numriques effects are not bad but can not be otherwise than CONTRL intermdiaire two potentiomtres "Adjust Preset" to select one of 4 effects and "FX Level "To determine the volume of the chosen effect.
It is impossible to switch via a footswitch, which requires the user to interrupt his game to manually switch the effects.
Not very practical when you want to go directly to a clean sound with a lightweight chorus overdrive without a chorus, for example ...

Boost the FDD does not really add the heat lamps for an amp, but gives some Dcibel supplmentaires when playing low volume. Thus giving the illusion of playing on a bigger amp.
By ds against the volume to half Exceeds FDD seems to be inactive.

Otherwise the manual is clear and trs offers some examples of rglages even for beginners.

SOUNDS

To play the blues, pop, rock or even hard rock's nickel! was not worth his lights but the sound is dynamic. As I said above, one can easily switch between the crunch a little distortion in large part thanks to the contour. You should know that the more even when the knob down, become more mdiums Submitted. Default that could be corrected with a knob Middle, but lowering the treble and / or by adding bass, the sound becomes much less synthetic. A word ...

I happened to play Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the Gary Moore without having to add peripherals (Whoever said What could not play Led Zeppelin with the MG30 should review the your guitar pickups). I play a lot of metal (Metallica, Opeth, Pantera ...) and I need for impractical against a distortion of pedals to make him spit sound really adapted.

To clean, the fact of not being able to change the medium can make the sound a bit flat. I noticed especially with passive pickups. By adding an equalizer and / or an external compressor in the input (I prfr in a loop effects, Manir not lose power from the canal when saturated j ' using my multi-effects ...) can give a little more life this channel.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this amp in 2003. It is therefore the Premire Marshall MG version.

He even when the potatoes for a 30W transistor! In the rglant correctly you will no problem repeating with a group and may be even in small concerts.

I had not tried other models before taking it because I thought it would be enough for beginners and it is clear that this amp is primarily intended for beginners. It is a bit limited for the metal (especially low volume) can be hand if we try to get one's a little runny Motrhead fawn ...

Even when we can jam on a few pieces of hard rock in the style of AC / DC, Iron Maiden or even, but for lovers of big sound, it will be difficult to draw something really pr cis and surly without pedals for distortion.

If I had the opportunity to try for a MG15DFX guitar lessons and frankly, I prfre 100 times the overdrive channel MG30DFX. Those who say that it spits a lot when pushing the gain simply trying to see an MG15 ... Mdr

In short, I think this amp is not bad for its sound quality, it s'avre most versatile and dynamic as some competitors from other brands but it is frankly sad to see an equalization (clean channel) consists of only two knobs (Bass and Treble) in addition to volume, while the overdrive channel compensates for the absence of a Middle potentiomtre a "Contour".

Moreover, I find that a loop does have effects far more useful than the four non-program effects pr footswitchable which are quickly forgotten APRS have acquired pedals or a multi-effects.

If you beginners and the effects as much as you intressent amplification, see amps such as Line 6 Spider, Roland Cube or Vox.
Sound level trs well they are doing, and have more numriques effects, which can be ordered at the foot this time.

It is clear that I would do not have that choice because as I said before, there is now much better on the market in the same price range. Especially over whether the use is limited play in his room or repeating.

It's a transistor amp, which dlivre 30watt, as there is the effect Delay, Reverb, Chorus, and one that vibrates the sound but I can not remember the name.


UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple, just a normal amp is a little rule and it was a sound.

SOUNDS

The I'll be a little mchant.

Trs = clear sound good! The clean sound is beautiful trs, in addition, with the effects, can get hundreds of different sound, a wide range that will satisfy the lover of beautiful sound <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" /> 8 / 10

Its distortion = NO NO NO AND NO! The sound is trs ugly! It has a super fat distortion, it looks like a saucepan. If you want to play Rock / Hard Rock / Metal Pass this amp. TRS is a good advice. 3 / 10

I will put 6 / 10 in sound thanks to its good light and its effects more than surprising <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="wink" />



OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months and tried many other models before. The report quality is bad because trs for that price, it was an amp well above the level of its quality.

With experience, I will not remake obviously not the choice.

But AC is a good amp (Marshall <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> ) But I repeat, distortion super ugly.

I will put 6 for the overall opinion.

It is a Transistor Amp 30 Watts

There are two channels: one clean and one overdrive. A button to switch the two.

On clean, it is possible to adjust bass, treble and volume while on the overdrive, the treble, contour, bass, volume and gain (no middle!).

It has four effects are reverb, delay, chorus and flanger.

There is also a button "old" ... This gives a slight "fishing" to the amp.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple (which replaces the middle contour).

I have no manual as I bought it used

can not be much different sound, but the chorus and the sound delay but it is still not accurate enough for my taste.

SOUNDS

He may have some but not enough to gain the metalcore ...

I have a good catch with it but it sizzles a bit.

When I play on another amp, I recognized a lot of mistakes while on it is not specific enough.

I also play with an Epiphone Special II so the sound should not be very good (I play a Fender Stratocaster on mg100dfx and I recognize that the sound was much better) and the effects are those of the amp.

I do not like the clean (too slammed with the bridge pickup or too choked with the neck pickup but also according to my guitar).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year then (Used to a friend), I had a little amp "crap" epiphone I received in the pack of my special II) and the sound is still much better!

What I like about this amp are the effects (I did not switch and therefore can not use 100%) .


I think for the price, there may be still better!


I think I would do not have that choice, this amp is sufficient (and again) if we want to play several styles of music but if you want a particular style, I think there may be a lot better in the range price.

This is about the same amp as the Marshall MG30FX and the others. This one has a unique feature called the FDD, which stands for Frequency Dependent Damping. This basically emulates the connection between a power tube amp and a speaker cabinet. This is a spectacular feature to have and makes this amp the best of the 30 watt MG series solid state amps from Marshall.

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

Output (RMS): 30W
Channels: 2
Footswitchable Channels
CD Input: yes
Emulated Line Out
Emulated Headphone
Spring Reverb: none
Digital Effects: none
FDD
Speaker: 1 x 10 in.
Dimensions: 476 x 408 x 240 mm
Weight: 9.6 kg

SOUNDS

If you must pick up one of the solid state MG amps from Marshall make sure you get the FDD switch on there. It really tightens the distortion up a lot and fills the tone out more. The tone becomes thicker and fatter much like a real tube amp from Marshall.

The tone from this amp isn't that bad for being a solid state amp. This is an all in one amp for a beginner guitar player. Any one who has spent any time with a tube amp will not go for this other than to have as a practice unit for silence or office use. The crunch channel will get you a great classic rock tone. Trying using a Gibson Les Paul or SG and dial down the gain for some good Led Zeppelin tone or Ac/Dc crunch.

The over drive channel is excellent for modern rock and will sound good with any guitar used with humbucker pickup.

OVERALL OPINION

Unfortunately this amp has been discontinued and the used market will be the only way to go to get this amp.I have seen them used on the classifieds for just over or around $100, which isn't that bad of a buy.

If you are looking for a good amp that you don't have to worry about and just need for practicing or silent playing and you need that Marshall tone then this is a good amp for those purposes. This isn't going to go on stage anywhere or be good for recording, but if you need simplicity in a practice amp then this is a great amp for that. It has a good enough tone for getting your chops down or feeling out the neck of the guitar. I would recommend this to any Marshall fan looking for a solid practice amp.

Transistor amplifier 30watts. (But the principle of the transistor means he must leave a margin basically the right sound you get up to 15 Watts in its metal and up to 20 in the crunch or clean, for rehearsals I use this amp and I cranked the sound of the 30/30 shot is a bit ugly but at least I get almost)

Y has two channels: Clean and Distortion.

I take off points because this amp can not play metal, I was forced to buy an effects pedal in addition to the shot, I also removed because the sound is not beautiful beyond 20 watts

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, there must also be said to 500 buttons ...
The manual does not serve much use when you have no experience in the field of effects ...
Readily obtained a good sound.

SOUNDS

Gee I said earlier, without pedals with this amp can not play metal! For those who are not interested in this style of music if there are no worries it does the rest.
After the sound depends heavily on pickups you so I can not say more needs to be tested.

I take off points because of its metal nonexistent.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had it about 3 years (this is my first amplifier).

What I like about the amp? Bah what is an amp, it comes out the sound.
I do not like the sound metal! (Yes I will not let you go).

Value for money? It is good enough, then I'll have the opportunity personal thinking before I buy it to save money.

With experience you do again this election?
No, it does not suit my style of music and it's expensive effects pedals has.

If you do not play metal, this amp will be great for you there is no problem it's a great amp!

I detach myself from this amp and my pedal to buy an amp all-in-one with more power, because 30 watts is to train at home but repeated if nag your mixer (such as mine) Do you get almost nothing, and forgets all concerts now!

- Solid state

- 30 watt output

- 10 inch speaker

- 2 channel

- CD in

- Emulated line out

- FDD (You're going to want this on)

- Chorus, Reverb, Flange, and Delay

- Controls for volume, treble, bass, contour, and effects level

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple layout. The drive channel has a full 3 band EQ which is pretty useful.

Pretty easy to dial in a good sound, but you aren't going to get it sounding a whole lot better than that no matter how you try. The volume is alright, just enough to keep up with a loud drummer.

You can only really dial in one effect at a time which is a little annoying.

The manual is pretty clear and straightforward, no surprises.

SOUNDS

It is "ok." Nothing more, nothing less. The clean channel is alright, if a little dull and dry. But it is a decent platform, and takes pedals very well. It isn't going to produce bright and glassy fender cleans, and definitely doesn't have any kind of tube response, FDD or not. But for what it is supposed to be, a basic beginners amp, the cleans aren't bad.

The drive is a little more difficult to get an ok sound out of. It IS pretty versatile, you can dial it in for a a light bluesy OD, or heavier high gain settings. It isn't as thick or full of a distortion as some might like, but its not horrible.

The effects sound pretty decent and are a good starting point for someone looking to become familiar with their uses.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, this is a decent amplifier for a beginner who wants a basic two channel setup without the hassle of tubes. It is not the best sounding amplifier built, and a little overpriced in my opinion, but not the worst choice in the world. It was my first amp, and I was thrilled with it for about a year.

Overall, I would recommend spending the same amount of money, but buying something a little better at used prices. This one will probably not last more than a year or so.
