"The Best Multipurpose Amp Marshall Offers"
I'd buy this one twice if I had the money.
Sound
An amp for people who can't decide what amp to get. This little guys only 15W, but the first time I played it it woke up the dog three houses away. Very fresh sound, all around it's my pick for marshall's best multipurpose amp.
Features
The reverb's great, and for an amp under $200 you get a pretty good spread of noise.
Ease of Use
This was one of the first amps I ever owned and I knew it inside and out within a week.
Quality
Mine got a little buzzy after after about 2 years of everyday use, so what can I say? Yes, it got a buzz. But yes, it was after two years. It never once conked out, even after it took a couple spills on the pavement moving in and out of shows.
Value
Great price for a great amp. Some of the most kick for the least price.
Manufacturer Support
Never had any real need.
The Wow Factor
It's just a classic amp. Nothing flashy, nothing special, but nothing ugly either. amp.

"COOOOOOL"
Well, I expected a better distorsion in this amp. my guitar transforms itself when I connect it to a big amp with better distorsion (I tried with a 100W Laney and the sound made me get mindless). But it works good at all. I really love playing clean blues in this amp. Mix it with a good pedal and enjoy.
Sound
Clean sound in the proper channel but pretty bad distorsion when playing by chords. You must play artificials normaly for obtaining a good distorsion sound. But it rocks when you perform a solo. Best sound if you use a dist. pedal passin' by the clean channel. Excelent reverb sound ;)
Features
Well, not great but with that price it works really good. The tune works perfectly and the clean channel added to the proper configuration makes the blues easy goin' ;) GREAT reverb
Quality
Very good quality at all. The 15W are real, not like other ones. The same power in other amps is a lot reducend, but not in this one. in half volume my room shakes XD
Value
Very cheap instead other ones. Marshall quality at low price. Good choice I think
Manufacturer Support
Well, this changes with de shop. I didn't have any problems. When I got a problem they surely attend to me fairly.
The Wow Factor
Very smart and atractive. I really loved this amp when I saw it, and the Marshall quality is amazing. ;) very good

"A powerful guitar amplifier."
I had it for three years now and it hasn't failed yet! It can take the constant abuse. Just don't drop it.
Sound
It really sounds cool and powerful. Too powerful that it sounds boomy whenever i use my ibanez RG320FM( loaded with high output pickups),but it sounds good when I use my fender AM & MEX strat. So, I would recommend TAKING OFF THE BACK COVER!!- to achieve a tube-amp like growl.
Features
The CD input is cool for jamming. The FDD makes it sound like a big amp. The emulated speaker out is cool for recording too! The reverb is excellent! The overdrive is nice, but I wish they included a footswitch and an effects loop.
Ease of Use
It's really easy to use, just follow the suggested settings.
Quality
Good quality, knobs are reliable and smooth. It's like the rolls royce of guitar amps.
Value
It's worth for the price.
Manufacturer Support
No, I haven't have a problem yet.
The Wow Factor
Owning it makes you feel like one of the Rockstars!

"Low cost, good performance small combo."
It does the job well with excellent "bang per buck" and looks well-built enough to last.
Sound
Good clean channel, more twang than I expected from a Marshall. Surprising amount of volume. I like the Contour control a lot, it allows flexible control over the character of the sound. Good reverb. The overdrive is to my ears not that great until it's wound all the way up. I miss that "edging into crunch" feel. The manual says you can get that when the clean channel is turned up more than 50% but then it's too loud! I think it's god for clean and blues tones, not so hot for metal.
Features
The tone controls are very good. The "play along" input and line out are useful, as is the headphone jack. The reverb is good. A footswitch option and a master volume control would make it a 9.
Ease of Use
I find it simple and intuitive.
Quality
Made in India, quality control ba Marshall UK. It looks solid and well made to me. I have an annoying hum on mine; I'll probably try to exchange it.
Value
Very good value for money. Solid build, pleanty of volume and flexible sound in a good-looking and economical package.
Manufacturer Support
Don't know, didn't try yet.
The Wow Factor
Well, it's a Marshall, but it's a cheap one. I think it is functional but not, as an object, inherently desirable. No "cachet" here.

"Small but punchy!!"
Great amp, great quality, very nice looking, "IT'S A MARSHALL!"
Sound
The sounds is great.. it has a very nice clean tone, the overdrive is perfect for hard rock n similars, crunchy and stuffy,, the contour control has a flexibility that fits your sounds either clean or overdrived, the reverb is excelent. The overdrive gain can be a little more powerfull but as its set from factory is cool, and can't forget the volume is awesome "loud!", just volume at 4 and you will get that loud sound you want,, and if you want it more loudy just toggle the FDD the channel it will blast like a bigger amp..
Features
The FDD channel is great for live shows (of course not so bigger spaces), the reverb is excelent, the CD in/Line out works fine, the headphones too for silence practicing or recording, the clean channel is perfect..
Ease of Use
Is very easy to find the sound you want with it.
Quality
This amp,, will not damage with scratches nor electronics, I had it for three years and it has respond great, no fixes no bugs.. great quality.
Value
It's worth for the price.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't need support yet.
