Marshall MG30GFX

It does its job

It sounds good but there is some buzzing( it could be my guitar but I’m yet to figure that out). It’s not hard to carry. The main plus for me is that there is an earphone input. You can make various different sound effects. Overall I think it’s pretty good

Marshall amps are what I would consider the best amp in any price bracket, along with fender amps. This amp was bound to be the best amp you could get for the price. I would recommend this amp even if it was €500, so to hear that it is at a measly €200, it is a no-brainer for any guitar player

Just get it already

Absolutely PERFECT amplifier for anybody looking to play rock/heavy rock/metal. Handles perfectly and is easy to operate.

Great for practice. Classic Marshall tones. With additional booster pedal, no need anything.

Amp effects were glitchy from first use

If I turn the amp on, even if the fx knob is off, the chorus sound is on. If I switch channel to distortion, again with the fx knob all the way down, the delay is on. The way I rectify this is by turning the fx knob up and back and that resets it I guess. Needless to say this is extremely annoying and ruins the playing experience.

So obviously the amp gets one star, if I could give 0 I would.

I´m amazed

I´m surprise how loud this actually is. Sound is quite clear and with good definition. If you are looking for a amplifier to study or even to jam with your friends, look no further.

Excellent

Excellent piece of hardware, highly recommended

top amplifier

using this amp daley, what a animal, i play a gibson SG thru it and it sounds absolutley wonderfull !!!

Gives You More Than What You Want

I bought this amp for home use. This solid state 30 watts amp is further than enough for home use, sound quality makes you happy. Because if you have a tube amp you need to use it increasing the volume as much as you can in order to taste the beautiful tube sound, i mean, if you are going to use with low volume, a tube amp can't be satisfying.

The sound of this Gold series of Marshall are pretty awesome according to previous ones.

And the effects on the amp (reverb, chorus, phaser, flanger, delay, octave) are quite satisfying if you don't have effect pedals. But you need a footswitch (which is sold separately) to use them easily (I wish it comes as default but i regret not buying the foodswitch honestly)

As a summary, i liked it so much..

Great practice amp!

Had a 15W from another brand and decided to increase a bit the power to 30W or 50W and overall tone, towards Marshall

If I were to buy another amp though I would probably go for the double 12' MGX 102 if to play smaller gigs or very large practice room. I was strongly tempted to get it instead but it exceeds my needs a the moment. We will meet again 102!

For now and my practice needs, the MG 30 was the best choice balancing power and needs. 50W was also a big temptation just for one tiny detail it can be crucial upon doubt, the power cable...

*PROs

Sound, looks, general construction, closed case, back to black and gold patterns. Overall quality and foremost, the value for your money since pretty decent amp for less than 180 EU

Enough power to even do small gigs, it almost there but with limitations

*CONs

-Channels are very nice but minor adjustments are in order to try to reach your favourite tones.

-The power cable is not a plug in cable as in the 50W, nothing to do with sound or specs but always better to be able to plug in a power cable upon need than to have to open the case. If gigs are your thing get the 50W onwards in all cases.

UPDATE after usage.....Sold it to get a Marshall valve state some month ago and I regret selling this amazing Amp, extremely happy with the new one but still I miss my MG dearly. If you have it, keep it no matter what else you have! My choice to sell was due to limited space since otherwise I would have just kept it.
