MGR/metal menace « Marshall MG30DFX »
Published on 07/09/03 at 15:00I bought my mg30 dfx from a local store. The number of futures, the high quality sound and the solid structure, is the reasons that I bought this great piece. Nice price for the futures, 285 Euros
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.
