Marshall AS50D Reviews

Fantastic acoustic amp. Definitely one of the best out there.

Great amp

I love this amp for my acoustic guitar. Keep in mind though, that because the mid frequencies are the ones that make the acoustic guitar sound bad, in this amp they already omitted the mids. So it's perfect for acoustic guitars but I am not sure if it would work for other uses, without some external EQing

Cool classic look and excellent sound

The features and sound on this are great! Not too heavy to carry either

5 stars amp

Already own the AS100D,the AS50D is perfect for small rooms,can´t get enough of these babies,incredible sound and quality.

BEST amp I've ever owned

Excellent tone, quality, aesthetic, everything is perfect with this thing!

My electric guitar sounded great through this, nice and mellow sound with very usable chorus. It will work with acoustic guitar but in my personal opinion you should not amplify acoustic guitars - what a racket! ymmv

the best

It is the best in acoustic amplifiers this is perfection personified it is very comfortable to play and configure I highly recommend it and the truth I have not found any fault with it maybe it is a bit heavy but it is a total beauty

perfect for in the house. the effects could be a bit intenser. no connection for headphone. beautiful design great sound

Great Marshall Amp, a bit heavy for a lady ;).

The sound is great; I use it with a Fender 12 strings Left Hand acoustic guitar.

Let The Good Times Roll

I've wanted a Marshall amplifier for over 10 YEARS. Little did i know there was a Marshall amp specifically for electro acoustic guitars, inevitably I freaked out, amazing. Still finding my way around it. Ordered a vocals mic afew days ago but haven't used that with the amp yet, that should be exciting (indicated somewhere that you can plug a mic in via XLR cable to the amplifier too (which is gnarly.) Plugged in the guitar and the sound was amazing, the reverb is pretty funky too. Peace out.

Very nice

Nice amp. Very good quality and very nice sound. Also, looking good in your house/studio. I definitely think this is a good buy.

The only thing i can raise as a down is that it's a bit heavy. But nothing too much.

Great sounding performance machine

Why I like it:

• It's an all-in-one solo-artist performance-machine, that saves time from carrying technical stuff to carrying the performance itself. Just plug and play.

• Guitar sounds great. The Guitar line sound gets much nicer and more pleasant when it's plugged into this amp.

• Vocal sounds good. I'd say 8.5/10 and it is best in a double-price range.

• Two speakers make it sound clearer and without distortion when "many sounds" are happening at once.

• It looks nice and decorates the view when it's put in front of the audience.

What I miss:

• It could be lighter: it weighs 16 kg and 12kg would be perfect.

• Parametric 3-band EQ for the vocal channel.

• Higher price - for an artist it is worth double its costs.

Overall:

It is the best amp for solo GUITAR and vocals artists in a double price range.

Pretty awesome little package for the price.Well worth checking out all you acoustic freaks.

superb Accoustic amp!

Great sound quality for a very decent price.

used in smaller settings, three mic's, guitar, keys through a small mixer amped very nicely.

Good, reliable working instrument.

I've used this amp for few years now in following situations:

- mostly in solo gigs in restaurants, small birthday parties, wedding background and ceremony music. This is also main reason I bought this amp for acoustic guitar with loop pedal and voice.

- for few small gigs with band where we didn't have PA - we used amp as vocal amp with two mics for solo and back vocals. For this reason amp was really Ok for lets say large living room parties, not bigger. I wasn't sure about such solution at first, but amp performed really great and from time to time it can be used in such way, but of course cant be compared to decent PA system.

Pros

- Sound is really good quality for instrumental use and Ok quality for vocal use - I mean not super great, but Ok for solution if you want instrument and voice from one device. If you want superb vocal quality, purchase PA.

Cons

- Handle is really poor. It breaks down so quickly. It broke down to my amp and to some 6 others, I've seen so far. Marshal could work on this, come on guys, it's not rocket science to build decent handle :)

- Weight. It's not very heavy, but quite heavy if you have to carry it for few blocks. Basically, if you own this device, you'll have to have car, to carry it to gig. On the other hand, to deliver at least Ok sound you need some kilos.

- for me chorus function is rubbish, really unbearable to hear, sounds terrible. Reverb on the other hand is quite nice, I use it all the time.

- feedback control doesn't work. This amp has this feature, but It just doesn't help if you have feedback problems, so dont count on it when purchasing.

Overall - I would recommend this to my friend, but with comment to check out Fender fishman amps or HK audio products, or consider small PA solution - small mixing desk with one compact speaker.

Marshall AS50D

Top manufacture quality. Chorus and Reverb effects help achieve the desired "acoustic" sound of your preference. Probably the best combo in its category.

Acoustic amp

Very good amp, with a great sound brings my Taylor to life. Would recommend this amp. I only wish they would start giving the covers that come with the amps as part of the package, as selling it individually doesn't make sense. It's like selling a Mars bar without a wrapper. The amp is dear enough without having to buy a cover to give it some protection.

Beautiful looking & Sounding Amp!

I love this Amp. My only problem is that it doesn't have a headphone jack which I find very strange but maybe that is due to the fact that it is an Acoustic amp. You will not be disappointed with this Amps sound. 50 Watts is loads. I thought it might not be enough but it was way more than needed. For the price you will not find a better sounding Amp. My friend told me about this Amp and his sounds just as good as mine :-)

Best Buy Ever

Its is just the best buy i had even made.

Great sound for small gigs but also for bigger ones, with its D.I. OUT you can use it like your own monitor !!!

After all it is not Marshall's best seller by chance

Very Nice Acoustic Amp

Very Nice Acoustic Amp.

Suitable for acoustic gigs in small venues. I'm using it with my duo. We are one singer and one acoustic guitar (Takamine G series) and it does perfectly well the job. We do weddings, galas, etc...

I don't use the effects much, appart from the reverb which you can allocate more or less to the voice/guitar channel.

The only thing missing would be a way to have 2 voices and a guitar at the same time (even if it was a third channel with less control, just for backing vocals for instance).

The design is great, it looks good on a gig.

I recommend it, it does the job.
