First I want to thank zZounds. I finished my no interest monthly payments last month on the Jerry Cantrell Signature Model Wino. Without zZounds and their payment plan I would have not been able to get the guitar and now this amplifier. I've also bought strings, stands, straps and other items. I'm definitely a zZounds customer for life. I'm not going to pretend I'm some expert at amplifier sound settings like some who seem to complain about everything. I can tell you I got this amp because I have a Marshall Code 50 which I think is awesome but it's way too loud for duplex or apartments. It was a lot of trouble moving it around and having to use headphones. That and I am a Les Paul and Marshall is the only thing that matters guy. The rest is just firewood so maybe I am biased but this amplifier sounds fantastic. The few different sound effects settings are awesome. On one of the setting combos I put together it sounded just like KISS God Of Thunder live or at the beginning of the live version. I could turn it up loud enough to get the great sounds and not blow my neighbors out. It looks killer and sounds killer. I don't know what else to say about it. I'm extremely happy with it. I was playing my other guitar which is an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Silverburst I bought new 7 years ago.

For starters I had a Fender champion 20 that I had been using and Fender amps has turned to crap. You could not get a good clean tone no matter what you done So I took a chance at this Marshall MG30 and everything turned to awesome.Fantastic clean tones and great crunch channel. Don't ever think I'd use the overdrive 2 channels because I run pedals for that.It has Fantastic built in effects as well.I am really pleased with this Marshall MG30 amp and I am glad I sold the Fender champion 20 because it was like a toy compared to this.Always also great service from zZounds.

For starters I had a Fender champion 20 that no matter what you done you could not get a good clean tone from it. Fender amps have went to crap.The Marshall MG30 has a great sounding clean tone. I plugged it in and everything went to awesome. great sounds to a musicians ear. The crunch channel is nice but I will be using most of my pedal board for that.Also has very nice effects to blend in with your pedals.I am very pleased with the Marshall MG30 and very glad I sold the fender.I would never go back to a fender. This Marshall MG30 is a great sounding basic amp. nothing to get in the way of your playing like this knob that program or download ETC.Reminds me of the amps they use to build in the 70s and 80s.Thanks Marshall for keeping this simple.

The clean channel is tolerable, but the Crunch and the OD 1 and 2 sound like black water. I didn't care for any of the effects either. You'll be happy for a minute least, just to escape the moddulation that bleeds through each effect until you find the one and only sweet spot, but guess what? Even that tone gets old quick. The reverb dial allows you to switch from Studio to Spring modes! Not much difference between them- so if close your eyes, and turn the dial, you won't give two wet farts which side you're on.

This amp was so bad Marshall should be ashamed. Its the most shrill sterile, tinny amp I have ever heard, and that saying alot for solid state. My sons grandma bought him a no name 10 watt amp with a 6 inch speaker that sounded better than this. Do yourself a favor and go with a Boss Katana 50 watt for a little less than this. Im not sure if some of the people giving this a positive rating are newer layers or what. But there are far better solid state practice amps out there. To be fair I bought this from elsewhere, but I just want to steer people clear of this amp anywhere I can.
