In this video I review the Marshall MG10 practice amp. Does it have anything going for it or is it just a toy?

I've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is the only practice amp I use other than my full size Marshall stack. With this amp as you turn the volume up louder, the sound gets fuller and bigger instead of other amps that just get louder. Marshall did a great job with this little amp.

[@sawmichawngthu8831]

Sir can it play heavy music like metal without seperate distortion pedal I mean with the inbuilt effect

[@razoredge6476]

@@sawmichawngthu8831 No you cannot. The distortion built in sounds more vintage. But if you run a pedal into the clean channel it sounds awesome.

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

Do you think I use it in my home recording and mic it with sm57 into my audio and DAW and get professional sounding results in the mix?

[@markdemell3717]

He said ,Marshally sounding ,,,sorry man ,I laughed pretty hard at that. Sounds good for a mini amp!

[@giselle319]

@@razoredge6476 do you know which amp has good distortion that is 10 to 15 watts?

[@hiteshsharma5966]

I have this little guy for over 5 years and still working as it came. Great amp for beginners.

[@chetspoog5736]

I've had this amp for about a year and it is great for what it is - a decent sounding practice amp. It was designed to be a bedroom practice amp and that is all it will ever be. It serves that purpose well. If you are looking for studio quality or something stage-worthy, look elsewhere. I, myself, am very pleased with this amp and enjoy practicing with it.

[@aaronpaterson1615]

I bought one of these and it plays well, i was also really surprised by the good Bass sound that came out when I plugged my lefthand bass guitar into it. And it has all the necessary settings. Yes it is loud enough as a practise amp.

[@obst7759]

Plugging a bass into the amp didn't damage the speaker ?

[@timrussell1559]

Old video i know. But just picked up a like new marshall mg-10cd at an auction for 20 dollars. Was pleasantly surprised at how well it performs for a small 10 watt practice amp. It definitely has that instantly recognizable classic sound that only a marshall can produce. Great vid!

[@randymarcott7416]

I've had this amp for a month I had zero expectations for this amp and I didn't even plug it in until today but man I'm really surprised it's got great clean and has that Marshall sound on overdrive much better than this video makes it sound

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

it really is a fantastic bedroom practice amp or for those who live in an apartment.

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Nice review! I ordered one today for my home practice amp after my Peavey 6505 broke and I wanted one to use for practice without disturbing my neighbors where I live. I will compare it to the smaller Vox G3 mini amp which is amazing as well.

[@williamharvey8219]

Thanks Jake, as a newbie this has helped me a lot. I now have the amp and find absolutely fine for playing in the house. Thanks again!

[@wodenoftheangles3339]

03:33 They incorporated LED clipping (which is a Marshall heritage design). MGs are great little amps. Hook up a bigger speaker and they're even better!

you are clipping, record(track) at -23dbfs mix down at -5dbfs and then master it at -.03 for optimal professional gain staging

[@shakilkasper3402]

very good review, really helping me with choosing an amp!

Can you please make a tutorial of this Amplifier how to set this amp for Lead Tone?

[@HorizonVFX]

Does the Amplifier make Buzz or Humm sound on clean channel when it strings are not in contact with fingers? I recently bought an Amplifier but it makes some buzz sound on clean channel as well...😖😖 Is there anyway to reduce it or stop that buzz sound?

[@ralf-markusheero172]

Great video! Do you know if this one and MG10G are the same in terms of performance?

[@kenandersen8887]

Great review. Check your poll spacing on your neck pickup. Looks wide, you may be bending out of range on the pole. 1st , and possibly 2nd. I did it on one of my guitars once, I was like," that's close enough". until I played and realized the sound difference. They fade on the bends.

[@lewisbiggs8014]

Can you connect distrortion pedals with it?

[@truthhurts79]

Yes I stack 3 with mines

[@mariosuarez1563]

What would be the configuration to play a good sounding blues?

I plug the bass at my school into that amp, as the same amp is at my school, and so far nothing has happened. I'd recommend being careful but so far my teacher hasn't told me off for doing it lol

[@mikehunt3463]

I cant get any sound when im on channel 1. When im on channel 2 i have to turn the gain all the way up to get any sound and what get is a shitty clean tone with a bunch of loud backroundnoice. Does anybody have the same problems?

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

But basically, if I am adding guitar parts to my song production. Can I use this amp to mic via SM57 into my Audio Interface & DAW, like especially for clean guitar playing?

[@wallamsohphoh8881]

How loud can it go?

[@raev3310]

"surprisingly loud for its size"

[@johncroasdale1992]

The clean and gain button doesn’t light up, therefor it’s not producing any volume on any channel, I’ve hardly used the Amp, anyone any ideas as to the remedy

[@LeoCharles]

Quick question, how do you pull off a metal sound like Enter Sandman by Metallica on the guitar and this amp? I have a Yamaha Pac012 and a Marshall MG10CF amp... do i need a PEDAL or something to make metal power cord sounds? No matter what i move on the guitar knobs or the amp, it doesnt sound like that u_u

[@spark300c]

well it cheap ss circuit. only one stage of diode clipping for the over dive and no diodes or jfets on the clean channel. I have cheap ss amp with alots of gain but only stage diode clipping, so it sound mix of distortion an fuzz compared to mine jfet overdrive being pushed by jfet booster.

[@nihvl]

This might sound stupid i don't play guitar or don't know how to use an amp but I'm in love with this amp so can I use it as a regular speaker and connect my smartphone I'll be using it in my room

[@williamli4422]

yes you can, but guitar amps only focus on midrange frequencies of the whole spectrum of sound, so the sound you get out of it will be muddy without highs and lows. So I suggest you get audio speakers if youre going to play music with your smartphone.

[@Tiffers963Hz]

Yes. That does sound incredibly stupid.

Our World To The Light it has an overdrive channel. It's tone is pretty crappy so I recommend u to use a pedal

[@kaspermord1519]

Thank you for the review. I have a question. I can't seem to get a decent tone out of this, the clean channel sounds pretty muddy and has way too much bass in in, no matter what I do. The distortion channel buzzes very loud and is humming all the time, and when I try to dial in a metal sound, it's just a whole mess. I'm using the amp with my Epiphone SG Special. I'd be happy about a little tip that solves my problems. Thank you.

[@kaspermord1519]
