"Great for an At-Home Player!"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is a decent little amp. Emphasis on LITTLE, as it is not suitable for a band at all. Whether practicing or gigging, it will not be loud enough to be heard with another guitarist and a drummer. It does have a nice tone though. Unfortunately, it's time to buy a new amp for myself. I will continue to use this amp at home, though.
Sound
This amp is an ok buy, it is ideal for guitarists for a strictly at-home practice amp. The sound is nice, clean and distortion are very good at about 3 - 7 range. But if you plan to be in a band with a drummer, this is not a good choice. It is simply not loud enough. I'm using a multi-fx pedal into this and even with both units turned up a lot still not loud enough to really hear yourself from the crowd of tones and sounds the other people in the band are emmitting. I'd say to get a 30 watt if you really want to hear yourself during a band practice. It starts to sound bad when you pump it up very high, around 8 - 10 the clean tone starts to get distorted, but what can you expect? Definitely not for a band, but good for at-home practice. It will sound loud in you house, but not with a band trust me.
Features
The accessories were nothing special, a manual and the amp are all that really came with it. It does have some kinda useful effects, but not for anything more than experimentation. It's hard to set the knob to the same setting again, so the effects are just more of a thrown on thing to play around with. It would be hard to reproduce these effects live, but I've never gigged with this amp, I've had to borrow amps from other bands.
Quality
This is excellent quality, I've opened it up and checked it out and it's VERY solid. I've broken doors with this thing by smashing it into them - not a scratch on them. This is a very well-built product, it has a lot of bracing, the knobs have been hit around too and they haven't loosened at all.
Value
This is what you'd typically expect from this price range. It's got good sounds, but is not suitable in truly loud situations, and is incredibly pointless for a gig.
Manufacturer Support
N/A. Never had to deal with them.
The Wow Factor
This is a very well designed and sleek amp. I already own it, but it is very easy on the eyes. the gold screws and faceplate look professional.

"Sweeeet!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
For the price, features, and quality this gets a 10 for an amp at its range. Well done, Marshall!
Sound
I love the dirty sound that comes out of this thing. I never fully appreciated it before until I used it at my friend's sound proof room. I've always been confined to the small space in my room and forced to tune down the volume. The sound is is too good to be from a practice amp. It's made me a devoted Marshall fan for life.
Features
For a starter amp, the features are amazing! Chorus, Reverb, Flange, Delay... awesome!
Quality
Almost indestructible! I lugged this amp all the way from the store to the bus stop then to my house. Must've walked 20 blocks with it and everything still works perfect. It feels like I could let this fall down the stairs and be reassured that I can plug and play afterwards with no harm done. But I'd be an idiot if I did that to an incredible amp like this.
Value
Oh yeah! It feels like this thing is underpriced!
Manufacturer Support
I've never had to deal with problems about the amp itself but I asked some questions thru e-mail ang got concise and direct responses.
The Wow Factor
This product screams attention all the way. I can't stop looking at my trusty amp so I've placed it right under the TV when not in use so I can steal a glance or two during commercials.

"It says Marshall on the cover, but look deeper"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Over all I can't complain. It's a decent amp at a rock bottom price. As a practice amp, it's as good as they get. As far as the " I gotta have it" quotient? Hmmmm.. I'd say if you're on a budget, scrimp and save a few bucks more and get something that you won't grow out of. If you want a decent amp just to play in your house, look no further.
Sound
If this is the first amp that you ever owned, I'm sure you'll be blown away by its over all sound quality. The effects are neat at first but then become a little tiresome to mess with and then the novelty wears off. But I would have to say, honestly that this amp sounds more like a Marshall amp then any of the others I have heard in this price range.
Features
If a box and a manual are accessories then this amp came fully loaded. If they are not, it came fully stripped. You decide.
Quality
Seems really well screwed together. I really like the fact it doesn't have that cheesy gray mouse fur stuff that seemed to be on every type of practice type amp until recently.
Value
It seems reasonable at first until you look around a bit and find that for maybe $100.00 more you could have had a much better amp. The "Marshall" scipt on the front I'm sure has it's own price.
Manufacturer Support
not had any problems
The Wow Factor
I admit, I bought it because it says "Marshall" on it. What guitar player doesn't get caught up in that?

"Can't go wrong with this!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Will always have this as a great sounding practice amp!
Sound
Great tone from this small amp! Very deep and rich tone that you would expect from a larger Marshall! Compared to other practice amps, this has more bang for your buck! Great effects, especially the reverb, and great tone both in the "Clean" and "Overdrive" modes. Great crunchy lead sound with the Overdrive - go from tasty blues to crunchy Rock!
Features
The four added effects are a great addition. For the price and purpose of the amp, it is a perfect practice companion!
Quality
solid amp. compare to a "Crate" amp and there is no comparison.
Value
Great bang for the buck. Great sound!

"Great value Marshall"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This amp has great features, great quality, and great sound. All for a fairly reasonable price.
Sound
Has a very versitile sound. Transitions from clean to overdrive very smoothly, although when gain is turned past about 5 it creates a lot of extra noise. Great sound even for a little 15-watter
Features
The digital effects are great and useful. They sound very natural and tweaked with little effort
Quality
Its a Marshall, 'nuff said
Value
Although more expensive than other 15 watt amps, it has much greater quality. This just goes to prove "You get what you pay for".
Manufacturer Support
I personally have never had a problem but Marshall will fix anything as long as it is under the warranty
The Wow Factor
Who wouldnt want a Marshall amp to jam on?

Marshall MG15DFX Amp Customer Review

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Simplicity is not it's strong suit.
Sound
In small areas, like practice rooms, it has enough to work with.
Features
At first it looks like it packs alot, but after I've had time to play around with it, it became frustrating. Even though you get 4 effects, only one can be used at a time, and I don't think the depth of the effect goes deep enough.
Quality
It's a Marshall.
Value
Save your bucks. For an extra $100, a Fender G-DEC is a better buy
Manufacturer Support
No experience
The Wow Factor
Looks impressive "Marshall" with all kinds of effects.

"Marshall"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Almost everything is good about these amps, I highly reccmend them and would never buy any other brand. One thing I really do hate about this is the weight, I used to be able to carry my effects pedal in a backpack with all the leads, the guitar in one hand and the amp in the other and that would wear me out walking for 2miles with it (which I did a few times) now I would want to have a trolly for the amp otherwise I'd kill myself as the amp weighs more than all of my other equpment but together! but if I had a trolley I'd be thrilled with this baby, I'd take him everywhere hehe! I wish it came with a Marshall t-shirt so everyone knows I have a Marshall amp but other than that it's great! http://marshall-amps-guitar.com/
