MGR/Alec « Marshall MG30DFX »
Published on 11/11/02 at 15:00I bought this amp from Haworth Guitars in Kiama N.S.W (Australia). I paid $460 for it, and its list price is $540 (or something like that). I got a good deal becaus I bought an Ibanez RG270 aswell.
This amp shreds! everything about it is awesome. there are 2 channels, built in effects and a whole lot more (read other reviews). I love the overdrive channel, it sounds awesome. I play alot of Metal, (Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura etc.) and the distortion suits this perfect. 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.
