This Amp sounds awesome for solid state. Definitely the best tones I have heard without tubes. Only reason for an 9 is because of the speakers. The speakers on this amp suck, but that is expected and is also a quick fix. I hooked this thing up to my b-52 at-412 cab and it sounded almost as good as my 120 watt blue voodoo head. Not as loud of course. It does buzz a little loudly with the gain past about 3/4 of the way, but once again expected.

NO FOOTSWITCH! Thats the only thing its missing.

Very easy and straight forward.

Its a marshall and they do back their products. It is good quality except for the speakers.

Its limited edition and is justan awesome little amp.

have not dealt with them.

What can I say except wow. Pulled this thing out of the box, plugged it in and rocked. It sounds like an amp twice its size. After playing with the controls a little I was able to create amazing AC/DC sounds and a Black Sabbath feel that Ozzy himself would be proud of. Although it seems like I cannot get the low end to fall off(thus resulting in highs that seem less bright) it is still a great sound.

Marshall failed a little here. A book with an intro from Jim in several languages! A Zakk setting suggestion sheet.....with a total of 4 presets! WOW!!!! The supplied cables are a little thin, I recommend heavier cables.

Plug it in and play! The only trouble I have is I use a mulit-effects pedal and some of my effects are overpowered by the amps settings (even on clean).

It may have the Marshall name; however, it is just cheap plastic. On the plus side it is a lot lighter that a well constructed amp!

For the price you cannot beat this. It has monster sounds that I havent been able to find in combos or stack 2-3 times the price and size. I will not be taking this thing on stage anytime soon, but for in the studio or just banging around in the garage, this thing absolutly rings your ears!

I am just guessing here. Never used them, but you don't make the best amps without having good support.

I think the new will wear off soon for me, but anyone who sees it is instantly impressed with the design and the Zakk bullseyes. Plus it says MARSHALL all over it!!!!!

It sounds ok but it's alot more responsive with some pedals in front of it. Has a nice clean but distortion is a little weak. But it is very loud.

There were some picks and a poster included in the package. The reverb didn't seem to make any difference in the sound of the amp.

Very easy to use cosidering there aren't many features.

I can say it's extremely well made. I've had it for a little over 2 years and it's stills stands strong. It's a beatiful amp. Looks are the best thing about it.

Well I think it could have been a little cheaper compared to what's out there. I paid 349.00 for it.

none

Looks. Looks. Looks. The picture speaks for itself.

rock, clean

Sounds O.K. The distortion channel is pretty good but your better off using pedals. I also bought the ashdown all access 20 watt mini stack with two 8" and it is louder and the cleen w/pedals sounds just as good at $150 here at zzounds its a better deal.

I like the contour and fdd, nice reverb

easy to use and get a decent sound.

The old lead 12 seems bettermade and uses celestion, these are cheepo speakes. made in Vietnam? W.T.F?

Between this and the mg15ms the only diffrences are cosmetic.

no need to deal with them yet but with a 5 year warrenty i am shure they will be hearing from me.

This thing is probably the best looking micro stack I have ever seen.

Only an idiot could not know how to use it

Made decent. But Vietnam, why let these people build stuff, we already fought em once

Its worth every dime, I mean look at this sexy beast

Sounds like all the other amps in the MG series. Even though the speakers are cheap, if you use this amp direct into a PA, it's like having any other MG series amp. You wouldn't believe this thing is even on if you have a loud drummer, but plug it into the PA and you can rock for real!

2 channels is a plus. The FDD switch gives you that punch needed for palm muting crunch. I love the contour knob, its the secret to the tone in this amp. Reverb leaves a lot to be desired. THIS THING NEEDS A FOOTSWITCH OPTION!

If you've used more than one amp in your life, then this thing will be a breeze.

Cheap speakers. The rest of the overall quality is pretty solid.

You can do a whole lot better for the price. I got mine almost brand new for $75. No way I would pay what they are asking for it.

Never had to talk to them

Are you kidding me? This is the cutest little thing I've ever seen. It's so compact and makes a great practice amp.

Clean sound is very generic, but you dont buy this amp for cleans. The distortion is mediocre. VERY muffled sounding, just no real tone.. I dont see what the fuss is about.

Does everything you need it to. I like simple amps without on board effects. I would like to see a footswitch option.

Very simple to use.

Very dissapointed after getting this thing. Its a low quality practice amp. It looks awesome, but its just a novelty.. dont confuse this with a real amplifier. Made in Vietnam with generic speakers. Its made pretty well. The piping was not glued on very well in a few places.

You can do MUCH better for the money.

Dont know... never had to deal with Marshall. They do make a reliable product, I've never had a problem with one.

I got lured in by the awesome looks.. it does look the part.

Awesome sound out of a small amp, I use it in coffee shops and small venues. I play my Taylor 414ce Acoustic through it along with my Electric guitars and they all sound awesome. I replaced the original (Vietnamese made) speakers with Celestion 10" 16 ohm greenbacks to give it a better marshall sound.

Great reverb and distortion

Lightweight, easy to set up

Usual High Maeshall quality

Best price anywhere, it was 40 bucks cheaper through Zzounds..

Asked marshall what the ohm the speakers were and they got back to me within 48 hours...

LOve the looks of the gold plated Marshall Logos and the gold piping around the speakr cabs and the material covering the speakers is awesome looking compared to the standard black stuff.

The speakers are absolute crap. I bought it advertised as containing Celestion speakers, but discovered them to be very cheaply made, completely unsuitable for the Marshall name Vietnamese-made speakers. Upon contacting Marshall, I was told they are Celestion 'voiced'. Yeah, right.

A foot switch option would certainly help out here. I very much enjoy the FDD switch. The reverb is surprisingly very effective. As well, the contour is excellent. The overdrive channel leaves something to be desired - I rarely use it. The clean is very good and works well with pedals.

It is a simple interface. Use that contour!

Other than the garbage speakers, the amp and cabs are well made. I believe that if not horribly abused, this will last a long while. However, I don't think the speakers would last long. Replace those with excellent quality speakers and this thing might last longer than you might expect.

No, this is not worth the typical selling price because of the speakers.

I had no problems in my contact with Marshall. I was not pleased with the explanation given as to the speakers.

The main selling point of this is the looks, name (of course) and Zakk's endorsement. It does look really nice

ever thing you need.

great-great GREAT!!!!

you got to see it too belive it.

no not yet.

man you just got to see it!!!

This is the best sounding amp that i've ever played, but then again Zakk Wylde designed it! This amp is Very loud, and it is actually 45 watts. This amp SCREAMS!

Everything's great! The only downside is no footswitch.

Uhhhh... This is a Marshall. You get great sounds no matter what you do. This is great!

Everything seems to be of extremely high quality. I hope that I will play this amp for years!

This product is worth every cent! The sound is AMAZING for the price. Buy one before they're gone, because they're Limited Edition.

I haven't had to talk to them yet, but that just means that everything works fine!

This amp has gorgeous looks. This amp is distacting to me, with the bullseye on the head plate.
