Nice, clear explanation of this amp. Thank-you.

Thanks for being thorough man! Best review ive seen today so far

could not agree more very factual and straightforward too thank you!

Super great review. Can't get any much clearer and simpler than that. Many thanks ! SRII.

Is this amp loud enough to block out the sound of your chain?

Someone bring this poor guy some oxygen

[@rayc1692]

Thanks for this amazing review👍🏿👍🏿

[@gozdeeee]

Great video! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@94SexyStang]

great practice amp, I have much louder and better tube amps, but I play this one MORE....just because I have it hooked to my computer, and practice with music...it actually works really well.

[@constantdoodle32]

Mike Fu wait... I have this amp... you can hook this shit to your computer?!

[@JeremyBlant]

If you use the headphone out into a recording interface or a mic input you can.

[@jasondownie9547]

Amazing labeling..

I like this guy, in videos he's dryly funny.

[@Penndennis]

Nice review; thanks.

[@TommyDrone]

best instructions. Thanks so much.

[@solapidesihombing9975]

my Marshall mg30cfx is getting noisy(hisss,hummi) when i plug-in my guitar cables.at first i thought the guitar cable is the main source of noisy,so then i use d'addario Circuit Breaker plug..but the noise still the same..but when im using mp3 input for backing track , there is no noise..sadly no Marshall preamp service in my hometown.

[@brettsjoholm]

Anyone else have one where the off doesn't work on the effects knob?

[@willhammond3683]

Would this be good for gnr sound and as a bedroom practice amp?

[@JeremyBlant]

Yetii it’s okay at best. Don’t expect a very high quality sound. I have had it for a few years. The Boss Katana or Roland Cube are much better amps or even a Line 6 spider

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

100% yes… this is my main bedroom jam amp. You can actually gig with it as well. It’s possible. This amp gets a lot of hate, but if you tinker around with it for a bit, you will find that it’s more capable than haters give it credit for. It is a Marshall, and will provide the Marshall tone… it just takes a little more than usual dialing in compared to other Marshall amps.

[@DancingTakosMonkey]

i hate amps reviews where there is too much talking and no playing

[@senorpotato8657]

It's funny that my delay sounds like harmonizer in this amp...

[@geraldhartley]

Is this amp good for getting a Marshall sound??

[@DarkKhagan]

I was just wondering if anyone who owns this amp, has changed the factory speaker with a quality celestion speaker to get a better quality sound? 😎

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

I own this one (among many Marshall amps) and you don’t really need to swap the speaker. I found a happy sound using all stock parts just by spending some time with the EQ and preamp gain settings. This will sound counterintuitive but if you dial back the gain, boost the mids to around 6, bass to 7 and treble to 8, volume to 9, and add master to taste, you should have a fairly decent sound.

[@williammorillo657]

Busco un amplificador sin emuladores de efectos porque ya cuento con una pedal board con pedales análogos cual recomiendan de la línea Marshall para estudio y presentaciones en vivo

[@john-xc3iy]

Grim Reaper Baby!!

[@seanraidley2643]

Amazing video! Thank you! I can't decide between this and the Fender Champion 40. I love metal (Metallica-esque), but I also love the softer side of music (John Mayer-esque). Any input, anyone? Thanks so much!

[@wadeolder7193]

+Sean Raidley The Fender 40 does have a metal like selection. Plus a 12" speaker

[@seanraidley2643]

+Wade Older I'm actually really leaning towards the Marshall Code 50 now. That thing looks amazing...

[@seanraidley2643]

+Wade Older And it has more watts and the same size speaker. A little more money, but worth it. Especially when I sell my Taylor JMSM. lol

[@tsiakkiros]

I don't know if you bought it yet but this will help. I wanted an amp around the same wattage. 35-50W. Options: this one and the Marshall MG50CFX, Fender Champion 40, the Blackstar ID:Core40, the Roland Cube 40GX, the Line 6 Spider VI, and the Orange 35RT. In my opinion, everybody besides Orange puts loads of "entry level" effects, many watts, but charge way much less than Orange does. That says a lot. I went at my local music store and tested the Orange 35RT first. I just couldn't get off it. Played like an hour or so. Seriously. The quality of tone, construction, everything was amazing about it. Next up, Fender Champion 40. Went straight to the EQ. No Mids control. A shit tonne of effects, buttons, switches, totally hateful. And that was pretty much it with the rest of them as well. Just small black mean boxes which focus more on quantity rather than quality.

[@wadeolder7193]

Absolutely correct. I have the Champion 40. The speaker sucks I put a Jensen Mod in it. I never use the many play amp shit settings. Only a very slight reverb on the clean channel. I like its light weight grab and go. NOW if you think the Orange 35 is sweet try the 60CR. The little 35 will get loud but the 60 sounds big and gets bigger when you crank it. I love it to no end for the sound and volume obtainable but its not grab and go. I agree all the rest are black shit boxes trying to appease metal loving players. Orange is bullet proof damn good clean channel and great dirt. (I might look into this year getting 35 and somehow putting a 12 inch Wharehouse speaker in it or make a cabinet that will accommodate it so I could have a grab and go Orange. I'd give the Fender 40 away in a heartbeat)

[@DG-bb1jz]

Why does mine say 70 watt on the back?

[@benligil]

it is the electricity consumption it is higher than output

[@aaronsherman421]

If your looking for lower price options that are like a Marshall try out Blackstar. Great amps for the price.

[@Lazarus_360]

Same lol I just got a strat

I'm saving money to buy an ESP/LTD EX-50, and deciding which amp I'll combine it with.

I'm beginner and I want to save budget to buy this amp because it have basic effects like,flanger,chorus etc and I can save budget instead buying that pedals.My question is,this amp is came with footswitch?

Plaman Butak no if you want a footswitch or stomp box you need to buy the pedals

[@GeorgeG4895]

Is this good for Metallica sound?

[@pablovalero3344]

I think that you want a more "open minded" amp haha, this one is a good amp, Metallica started using Marshall anyway. I say you give it a try, I'm positive it can do nice things :)

[@LeadSails]

DSL40C is what you're looking for.

[@elchapojr.9811]

Would this amp be loud enough for a performance in a gymnasium?

[@dajwer7522]

Zdecydowanie powinien być dobry :D

[@shredwerd009]

depends on the size of the room. smaller settings is what this amp would be good for. 30w alone may not be loud enough

[@tsiakkiros]

If the amp is on PA then definitely yes. If not, then possibly yes, depends on the room's/gymnasium's size. Sound and space are relevant. I have an Orange 35RT, and i play it in my living room, in my one bedroom apartment. Maximum volume ever: not even 2/10, i swear to God. It's loud in a tight space, very, very loud.

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

The 30W drive is actually fairly loud… it may get lost in a gymnasium size room if you are competing with half or full stack amps by a second guitarist and/or bass player & drums… but… if there is a PA system being used to mike the amp, then 100% yes it will handle that size room.

[@gavinjuge1961]

I have a peavey vypyr vip 2 and it's a little too loud I find sometimes and the settings are much different than what I'm used to. I'm looking for a practice amp that's a little bit smaller and has a similar sound quality. I'm looking to play mostly rock, and little bit of metal, maybe some muse or something. Does this amp seem good for that? I'm somewhat of a beginner with guitar so my standards aren't incredibly high. THX!

[@jjthejjetplane]

this amp should be able to do your style...marshall is rock in my opinion nobody does it better

[@princejen5]

how does it works with pedal or stomp box?

[@aarongalindo898]

So heres the thing. I have only been playing guitar for a year now and i don't know pretty much any thing about amps. Basically i want to play high gain metal songs and riffs like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth and so on. Is this a good amp for this? I also have a distortion pedal to help.

[@aarongalindo898]

Slenderspartan i have been hearing mixed reviews so im still not sure about buying this amp

[@joelcruz1996]

Hey man I feel you, but to get that solid, fat tone like pantera i put the gain all the way up and the middle down on my marshall amp hope that helps

[@BRZguy]

I think this amp has good tones similar to Metallica and such. You'd be much closer to that by getting one of these than some muddy sounding alternative.

[@shamsulanuar9258]

what is the difference between these 2 spec mgcfx & mggfx series?

[@knackeredhandsguitar8714]

Stay away from the MG series mate, they're rubbish. Always have been.

Can anyone tell me if this amp is ok for my j160e I'm thinking of getting one

[@nasticanasta]

Gerard; "I got a real nice Gibson acoustic, I want to play it through a piece of crap"

[@brianrossman7813]

Is this amp too loud for bedroom playing? Or does it sound nice with the volume turned down?

[@IPA5TOR]

Brian Rossman Sounds good in bedroom and you can use headphones.

[@94SexyStang]

I use mine for bedroom practice...because your can get the volume SUPER low easily....and because all my other amps are TOO loud and can't use them in bedroom, haha. This is a good amp to plug up your computer or ipod and Play along with music, it Dials the sound so the Lead Guitar in the song is LOW, and YOUR guitar is higher...so basically kinda "dials" your guitar into the track...it actually works pretty well, I use it all the time!

[@SAZIZMUSIC]

Can it be used for acoustic guitar ?

[@beepbop9413]

nope....this amp is designed for electric guitars, there's a marshall amp that is for acoustic guitars :)

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

It can if your acoustic has a pickup and cable …

[@lowercentenary]

If this is a combo amp can a bass guitar go into it as well?

[@simranphull6590]

Nope, it’s a guitar amp. You can get Bass combos too

[@joshuafrazer1517]

How to factory reset this thing

[@knackeredhandsguitar8714]

Set it on fire, or just put it in the bin.

[@knackeredhandsguitar8714]

Here's a short review of mine for the Marshall MG30FX - It's utter crap, don't waste your money. Plenty of better bedroom/beginner amps out there. It lacks any 'oomph' and the constant hiss from it will drive you insane. Stay clear.

[@manfx7]

Perhaps he's the dark vader

[@conchuxd635]

Bro 💀

[@denace1385]

Is this a tube amp?

[@savvasdarkthrone7964]

Is this amp good for distortion pedals???

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

It can be done, but with the right dialing in of the preamp gain, it actually drives the sweet spot of gain / breakup Marshall’s are known for… probably can add an OD pedal if you want to add fatter gain, but adding a full distortion pedal in front of the amp gain probably is overkill. It will handle pedals up front regardless… so the short answer is yes it can handle it.

[@breeex]

Is it good for heavier stuff?

[@kodymiller1907]

happy man Any solid state amp can work well for heavier stuff it just depends on what tone you dial in as well as what effects you use

[@noaharreola2986]

I ask the same question too. Is it good for their dookie/insomniac tones?

[@eduardosolis8969]

Yeah it is, Green Day uses a lot of british amps and this really nails the famous marshall tones which Green Day generally use live.

[@spiderjock10]

[@eduardosolis8969]

[@PatrickHolensaber]

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

Except this isn’t digital ;)

[@domener9827]

I've bought this amp and I was pretty disappointed. The clean and slightly crunchy sounds are good, but if you wish to play metal and hard rock, there is just no way to do it with just the gain (or actually no gain) that this amp produces. It's just shit for playing heavier stuff.

[@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

You did it wrong… this little Marshall puts out plenty of gain… I use it all the time for Judas Priest / Metallica / Maiden / Ozzy cover songs and no one has ever said “sounds awesome but I wish you had more gain”… what settings did you use?

[@andychugs]

Wtf!!!

[@Blazing234]

this amp is a downgrade of the mg15

[@flip7081]

The casual wearing of a Confederate flag on your shirt tells me quite a bit about you.

[@MALO-nf1qz]

Have one MG30CFX. Very bad sounding. Overdrive terrible without any Dynamic. Why does Marshall built this shit?

[@RickJando]

Awwwww gee sus ! TIP OF THE CENTURY, get a VALVE amp if you want good sound, I would be horrified to have to use this or it's bigger models onstage in a proper gig situation, what a flipping racket, have people really forgotten what GOOD sound is ? Not only that, some soap heads that throw away good money on this muck find themselves needing to change speakers obviously because the sound just isn't it ! Awwwww humanity eh 🤔
