Marshall MS-2 3-stars Reviews

Little bang for the buck

It seems kind of expensive for an amp that does very little. The overdrive doesn't really drive and the tone it gives isn't clear. It would be fine by me if it were 20% cheaper.

Overall: meh

Funny amp

I bought this for my nephew, with the cheapest Jackson RR mini, he is 6, and I was blown away by the sound when everything is full on. Any quieting down is bad sounding, but full on, man, with this mini Jackson, you can get a true bedroom RR sound. Don't believe it will survive in his hands for very long but for a total beginner, it's a banger. His dad is a metalhead, so he also likes Randy, Vai and that type of sound.

A novelty...not much more

I got these amps simply to "collect them all" with the different colour variations.

As an amplifier, only use the clean channel, as it sounds good for amplifying acoustic/clean guitar sounds. It also handles footpedals with ease for modulation and reverb effects. But...the "OD" channel (overdrive) is utterly terrible.

It's a great tiny, battery-powered amp for sitting around a campfire and singing songs together, but it's not a good practice amp and certainly not good at creating anything needing distortion.

The price is cheap, so you can get one just to say,"I have a Marshall" and that's about it.

great

small and do the job

A toy, nothing more

Got this as a toy, and that's what it is. Sounds quite bad, but it does clean and OD tunes (kinda..) works well with 9V battery, plenty of shreeding hours on the move.

It does look and feels fragile... so don't break it. It's kinda expensive for a useless toy.

great fun, and so handy

I bought this to have in my case when travelling, and it's ideal for practicing in hotel rooms etc. It obviously doesn't sound like a Marshall, or any other kind of full sized amp, but is perfect if you want a little more than just the acoustic sound of the strings. I've also used this for recording rough demos/song ideas quickly.

Very useful!!

A bit of a novelty really. Distorts far too easily for my liking. Headphone out provides a noiseless rehearsal option,with a more true sound than the actual speaker. Handy clip on back of amp to attach to guitar strap. Heavy on battery consumption even when not plugged in.
