10 watts always is, and for the price, it's a damn good one. Stop being so critical as if this amp's meant to be a wall of Marshalls...

Then you have obviously never seen a real amp. Ever been to a gig? Did they have 10watt solid-state Marshalls onstage with them?

a wall of marshalls is only good for a music video my first amp was a peavey blazer 158 (15 amps and much louder, i never had it up full for practices) for around £80 and it was much much much better than my friends mg10cd. i was recently going to buy an mg100dx thinking maybe the bigger model would be better, but after being advised buy pretty much everyone not to buy one and tried it out. just a louder piece of sh!t. MG's are bad amps. yes it can get "any" tone you want, you just don't realise how bad that tone is until you play something atleast half decent. go to a shop play a marshall mg then play any other amp in the same price range. you'll see

I use one of these to practice at home and it does the job fine. Yes, you'd have to be stupid to gig it, but it's very good for the money.

THis amp in itself does have good power, but its for someone who practices like..30 minutes a week..if youre more serious than that, get something bigger.

True. However the amp really is only good for a beginner. Once you get passed your first year of guitar playing you'll really dream of better things.

I find it sad how many people love it. That said, ignorance is bliss, and if they're happy with it, let them be. They won't get far in life with a MG though.....
I myself found the cleans on it usable and decent. The distortion is terribly digital, almost painful to listen to.
Anyone who likes this amp obviously hasn't played a tube amp before.

That's the point- this is OBVIOUSLY a practice/beginner amp. Do you expect a 10 watt amp to be a boutique beauty fit for tube amp users?

this amp..... is AWESOME, no questions asked....
so many people are going on about 'uurh its muddy.... meh its clean channel is rubish!!....'
ITS ONLY RUBISH BECAUSE YOU MAKE IT RUBISH!!!

you think, oh, £40 10w amp, sh*t!!!
you dont look past what it can really do!

gain: 3, volume: 3, cont: 7 with single coil neck = HENDRIX!

sure, this is no tube amp, but i would trade it for a 100w modeling amp because to me, its sounds so much more natural, and dont go and say 'play through a real tube amp!' I HAVE! I PLAY THROUGH MARSHAL AND LENEY STACKS EVERY WEEK!.

one last thing.... dont blame the amp,

with this amp, if you arnt a good player, it shows

bad players can only use very good amps + guitars to make them sound better,

real good players can sound great with a squire telecaster and a marshal MG10....

think about it....

Like any amp with digital modelling, this is sheer crap, sold for peanuts to amateurs who don't understand that digital modelling is the dirtiest trick invented by cynical producers to cut costs and get greater profits, instead of selling real amps.

But this amp is non digital. But I agree that I don't like digital modeling that much (because they have so much features that you won't use and it makes finding a good sound too difficult AND they are copying the sounds of amps that exist, they will never sound better than the original amp). Keep it simple is the way to go!

Arguably, one of the lousiest speakers offered by "good" companies, "custom-voiced" being an euphemism for crappy .
As for digital modelling, you're right once again. Simple is better. People don't understand that an amp doesn't have a "sound" of its own. Its sound comes out only when a guitar is plugged in. The sounds "emulated" through digital modelling aren't the amp's own sounds, which don't exist, but the sounds a specific amp produces when connected to a guitar. Not ours, of course.
That's why, except for some very expensive digital rigs (that go beyond 10.000 euros), all guitars sound the same when using a digital amp. You plug in a Les Paul, you plug in an Ibanez X, you plug in a vintage Tele from the '50s, it all sounds exactly the same. Something never happened to an all-tube amp.
