The MG30FX is a good amp regardless of what else has been said. The sound is not identical to a full stack system... My son who is a pro. said to get this cuz it only cost me 100. Let me put it in his words.. It sounds good and its got decent volume.Those who dont like it should have tried one out before they bought it. Amps are like guitars the sound is unique and subjective. Most guitar players by several guitars but only a couple amps.also if all amps sounded identical the only thing that would separate em is power and price. Bottom line good amp.. moderate power.. lots of features...get the pedal!. and before you buy any equipment go test it out.. music stores are the best place cuz you can directly compare.. find the ones you like... then find the ones you can ...

I wrote a review before on a MG30DFX I use which I was very disapointed in until I blew the speaker & replaced it with an 8 ohm 10" Eminence. Made it sound like the Marshalls I remembered. Since the MG30DFX is rated for 4 ohms. I figured another 8 ohm Eminence in parallel would be hot sh**., IT IS!!! Thing is, I got a blown MG30FX cabinet to put it in. The FX is junk compared to the DFX. I doubt this will be listed but while neither of these come close to the quality of Marshall's we used in the 70's, the DFX can come close with new speakers. Everything else about it is very good! The FX is not up to snuff.

I play guitar as a hobby and have a Peavey amp that just couldn't get the sound I wanted even with effect pedals. If you want a good 80's-90's heavy metal sound, then this is the amp. With the foot controller you can store the different stored sound you want, hit the button and you have it. I play at the house so the 30 watt is more than enough volume. I don't need whopping volume so this amp is perfect for me. However the maximum volume should be around 7 or 8. Any volume higher than that has a little roughness to it. This is a GREAT little amp and it doesn't bust your bank account. I've had the amp 5+ months and play it for about two hours a day and have had NO PROBLEMS with it whatsoever. For the money, you get the awesome Marshall sound and quality. I use no ... MoreI play guitar as a hobby and have a Peavey amp that just couldn't get the sound I wanted even with effect pedals.

I use no effect pedals with this amp and have no problem getting the sounds I want. I don't know why other people claim they can't get the proper sound, maybe they don't know how to adjust the amp to their liking or maybe they're trying to use effect pedals with it. I had to play with it a bit and figure it out but once I did I was in love with it. I recommend it to anyone whom wants an awesome amp that doesn't put you in debt. I highly recommend getting the foot switch too.

It fits great for what I use it for. I have other amps with more power and more tone, so I didn't expect it to sound like a Marshall stack costing thousands of bucks. It gets a great sound with the my guitars plugged straight in at low volume or turned all the way up ( which I sometimes do ). I don't bother with the clean channel, it's too hard to get that 10" speaker to sound decent. I used a Super Reverb for yrs while I was an active musician, so I have learned how to tame 10" speakers down and get a warm tone. Not that this amp can do that. I recomend the foot controller so you can program it and use the buttons instead of constantly having to mess with the settings. It took awhile to set it the way I like, but now I have 4 settings I can use at the touch of a ... MoreIt fits great for what I use it for.

It took awhile to set it the way I like, but now I have 4 settings I can use at the touch of a button. The tone from this amp is better than some amps I've used in the stores costing 3 times as much .The effects are useless. You don't have enough control over them such as level , mix and speed .I don't use them. I have pedals and other amps for that. It gets good volume for what I use it for, I wouldn't consider taking it to jam with a full band.The quality is OK for what they build today . I own vintage Fenders from the 60's, so I'm spoiled. The materials they use today to build amps is flimsy, you have to treat them like divas. The old amps could take a beating, and they have. This amp is only for mellow practicing, I have others to turn up with, so it stays in the room. If it had to be hauled around, I'm sure the cab would not last. The plastic parts would break for sure too .I got this amp for a great price, so I think it was a great value. I haven't seen another name brand like Marshall with a 10" speaker and 30 watts for that price. I didn't know what to expect but was pleased with what I got for the money I paid. I also bought the foot control pedal, I think it added a lot of value to this amp, 4 programable presets.
Marshall the name says it all. Rely on it for great sound quality . Whats in a Name? .., Everything!!!
All the bad reviews about this amp are not true!I'm not saying it's the best amp but for a solid state amp at a very low price it's hard to beat. I have a Fender Blues Jr. but I live in an apartment building so I can't crank the tubes loud enough to get a nice distortion.I was looking for an heavier sound at low level to go with my Les Paul in a small and easy to use combo. I`ve tried the Vox Valvetronix VT 30 because of all the good reviews on the internet. It was very desappointed! very deep, bassy sound with no definition. I removed the closed back, changed the speaker but it still sounded like there was a pellow in front of the speaker. I tried the Peavey Vypyr 30. Not bad. Good sound but nothing special. Sounds generic and a bit digital. A lot of gadgets but ...

Sounds generic and a bit digital. A lot of gadgets but too complicated. I read a good review about the new Marshall MG4 serie 100w head in the Guitar Player Magazine. I always liked the Marshall sound so I said why not! Nice presentation, I like the control panel at the front. Very easy to use and the sound is a typical Marshall sound in a small package. The clean is nice, warm and mellow. The distortion is exellent. From crunch to very high gain. No need for extra pedals. The effects are OK but i don't use them much. It's a bonus.If you look for a warmer, heavy sound with good definition at a neigbor friendly level. That's the one.I coudn't believed I could get a good Marshall sound in such a small amp at that price. Forget about all the bad reviews and give it a try but if you look for a Fender or a Vox sound look somewhere else.
I loved this thing for like a year, maybe two, but I eventually got to where I didn't like the effects, and the clean tone is not acoustic-y enough for me. Besides, with a pedal, it really stinks. I have two (both Boss: Mt-2 & DS-1) and neither sounds good. They only work on a clean tone or you get lots of noise. they sounded better through my little Peavey and the amp I usually use nowadays, a Kustom KBA80 Mosfet Bass amp. This amp does have a pretty good channel though, the OD2. It's good without a pedal and it sounds cool cranked, but not as cool as a cranked stack. Also, my master volume knob only works if I set it at like 3:00, and doesn't at 4-4:30. It's been that way for a year now. And The nuts are plastic. The one for the input jack stripped for no apparent ...

The one for the input jack stripped for no apparent reason while I was playing and the jack fell inside the amp. I had to take off the back and super-glue the stupid thing to the case. Anyway, It's good if your just starting to learn guitar, like I was when I bought it. It's not outrageously expensive. I do like the reverb too. The chorus sounds okay with reverb. Although reverb gives me a headache if I use it too much. I don't know why, but it does. I hate the phaser. I do like the flanger sometimes. Anyway, if I were you I'd get something else. Unless you like it, in which case I say go for it. Just don't expect your pedals to sound good through it.
I've got other Marshall gear but all of it is either much to big for routine transport or much too valuable to use and not keep a constant watch over. Our keyboard player built a new studio and we are using it quite a bit and dragging big amps in and out of ever smaller cars daily got to be a hassle. I have a Bluesbreaker reissue and had an issue with loose tubes so decided smaller and less expensive is better this time around. Has all the features surprisingly loud for the size with decent workable tone capabilities and makes a great little warm up amp that won't drill a hole in your wallet but still has that Marshall sound. And in the right room might be usable as a small gig amp as well. I kind of wished I had waited on the small 5 watt tube Class 5 but the wait ...

I have had a life of guitars and amps. This month will be the 40th anniversary of my first lesson and the beginning of the obsession with the special nuances that make every piece of equipment unique and neccessary once you've bonded with it. I have also had to borrow or cop what ever I could to get the job done and it's like wearing someon else's shoes. I bought the Marshall MG30FX after all my tools were washed away in hurricane Katrina. First you get a versatile axe then you need a some versatile power on a beggars budget. It is known that many amps can immitate many others in many price ranges but in the end there is only one sound like a screaming Marshall if you need to make a statement.

It is known that many amps can immitate many others in many price ranges but in the end there is only one sound like a screaming Marshall if you need to make a statement. Now I replaced a careers worth of sound with one little box; a box with that familiar gold scripted Marshall on it. I was happy and ready to make do and be thankful. I plugged in and went live. Full tilt and with unbridled overdrive I ran my soul through that cable and out into my new neighborhood. With my back to it and my eyes closed I forgot that I didn't have two 4x12's stacked behind me. I was back where I belonged. I remember the days where even club gigs took trailer loads of swimming pool sized PA, hand wired, and walls of amplifiers. this little amp was efficently brilliant. It was the little amp that could make you forget that you weren't before a great stack. To the crew at Marshall I just wanted to say thanks and Good Job.
see aboveSee belowWow, where do I begin with the list of problems this amp has? It was a Christmas gift from a girlfriend in my case, but if you are thinking of picking this up, please save your money.First off, the nut on the input was so loose I eventually had to super glue the thing on, in order to keep it from coming off.Secondly, if you are jamming on stage with other musicians, don't bring this amp -- it has little to no power, unless you're playing through a pedal board or some other mechanism that gives it more push. Otherwise, you're screwed.I'd say it's only good as a lightweight practice amp, at best. It you're looking for anything more, despite the Marshall name, forget about it. If you want something with power, save your money and invest it in ... Moresee aboveSee belowWow, where do I begin with the list of problems this amp has?
