silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 There are a few people that make the marshall mg series look like the squier of marshall. I don't think it is. I've played one and they are very nice amps IMO. I just wanted to see your alls opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simo Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I had the MG 100 dfx combo for a short while, it sounded ok at low>medium volumes but it sounded **** once it was cranked up a bit, but they are cheap. I'd rarther go for AVT or a 2nd hand original Valvestate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Ive got a MGdfx 15, i love it. Its a good little practice amp, and ive 'giged' it at a show at my school. If you like the sound of it then go for it, if you dont like it, dont buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 i have a 250dfx combo... the clean is decent...the gain section blows chunks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nf1d3l Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 my only beef with mine is the sucky sustain. so ill get a dist pedal instead i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted to see your alls opinions. i already said, you need a crate GFX65, the lead channel has soooooooo much distortion and sustain, its heavenly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 i have a 250dfx combo... the clean is decent...the gain section blows chunks yeah i bought the 100dfx off of ebay for pretty cheap and what i plan to do is only use the clean section with the effects only sometimes (mainly the chorus) and just use a distortion pedal, i dont need the OD channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 If you're going to do that, then why don't you buy an amp that is known to have a -good- clean channel to start off with? Seems to me you're short circuiting yourself in both directions and coming up pretty empty handed in the end. I'd call that a bad hair day.

silvertonessuckbutigotone Posted December 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 because ive only been playing for a year and a half and i dont have the cash flow to buy a 900 dollar amp for being a semi-beginner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drak Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 That's cool. I understand then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyG Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 well im very pleased with my little MG15DFX combo. the distortion sounded good to my ears when i first started off tho i now realise it dfoes suck. however as a little practise amp for someone starting off i couldnt recomend it enough. its gonna last me a while longer untill uive finished off my tube amp and it plays nicelly with all my stomp boxes.

Jivin Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Its probably way too late now, but a mate of mine got his 100w combo at the same time as me, only he picked up a 2nd hand Fender Roc Pro 1000 in used but not abused condition, and I am seriously jealous. Its been years since then, but his amp sounds brilliant clean and it has a -very- satisfying gain section. I however went with a great deal I got on a Kustom 100w combo with 2x12" speakers - It sounded heavenly clean, but the distortion was weak at best, but since I run pretty well exlusively through my GT6 Pedalboard that wasn't really my concern. If you run through effects then at the end of the day a well built product with decent speakers is really what your after, and you could be pretty confidant the Marshall MG will have that covered, so I wouldnt worry - however there is a certain satisfaction to be had in owning and amp that you know can really rip **** on its own When I do make the move to a proper Amplifier head, I wont be skimping...

Maiden69 Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 because ive only been playing for a year and a half and i dont have the cash flow to buy a 900 dollar amp for being a semi-beginner. Dude, you don't need 900 for that. I will be making mine for almost $750 and it will be a half stack sized. http://carvin.com/products/dcm.php?ItemNum...DCM1000&CID=PWA http://carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=412T&CID=GA This is good if you are using a Multi effects processor or pre amp, For $450 you can get this, and it will be plenty for years to come, http://carvin.com/products/dcm.php?ItemNumber=DCM150&CID=PWA http://carvin.com/products/single.php?Item...er=VE212&CID=GA The Marshall MG really sucks big time, but if you got a good deal and once you use it you are happy with it, that's all that matters. Not what everybody else thinks about it. I understand this because I started with a Peavey Audition 20, and progressed to a GX65, and now I have a crate MX120R. So the 1/2 stack will be the next step up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 i used to play a g100rcd(the precursor to the mg series) before i got my mode 4 and after i quit using the fender twin it was a half stack...i played through the clean channel with a distortion pedal(zoom driver) and i ran an eq through the effects loop...it sounded very mean.... not as good obviously as what i have now...but it worked well for me for many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
