«  The Marshall sound ... What else? »

Published on 01/07/11 at 14:57
Transistor 50w rms, with front from left to right: Line in, clean channel with gain, bass, middle, treble, OD channel with gain, bass, contour, treble, volume, a knob of delay effects, chorus, flanger , a level fx, a reverb level, a master volume, a button emulation (I did not feel much difference in its use, taking out emulated / phones.
Simplicity? No better!

UTILIZATION

For the config, you can not get any easier. For me who am not a big fan of his set to the end of the night, great!
The sound is clear

SOUNDS

very pure and crystalline, that is what I prefer in this amp and so I taped the first time! And there's this little assayed with knob gain is frankly practice.
Small flat, the EQ is practically useless, we do not feel any real difference from one setting to another.
For distortion, lovers rock sounds to sound metal will be served, knob contour skips to sound like AC / DC to Metallica, and if more are made with mumuse gain ...
Effects? clean enough, they are light enough and therefore do not color the sound too, personally I prefer. on the other hand for the delay, fans of dub, go your way, on the other hand, coupled with the reverb, you can get a sound close enough to Shadows example.

OVERALL OPINION

After a little over 2 years of use, I'm still not tired! I tried an H & K Matrix 100 that I sold almost immediately, the Fender Frontman 100 of a dude, but I can not play other than on the MG 50 DFX!
My sounds are reggae, blues, dub and metal, I found the versatility this amp with a really huge + for clear sound!
Value for money at the rate where I gained is unbeatable, 180 Euros for sale (one year old amp).
Sure, I would do this choice!
