Marshall used some very funky smelling glue when it was manufactured, and when the speaker pushes air the smell comes out. It is very noxious, it gave me headaches and it didn't ever go away.

Good review as well I will stay away from this amp

this amp is some kind of perfect come on!
I use this amp with my Jackson Dk2 "hot rod flames" model, and i can say that it sounds more than awesome!
how can you just give a rating of 2 to this amp!
do you know anything 'bout guitar and amps? probably no! Its a good amp for the price! A wonderful amp! the overdrive is perfect, i can obtain every tone i want, and the clean couldn't be as a Fender one but its still good enough to have a more-than-decent sound! so if you own some crappy guitar like a strat copy from an unknown crappy brand from alaska or wherelse, please don't comment this amp!
s**t its a MARSHALL! not a behringer!

thats how you can tell on low volume is the amp sounds good its a crappy amp if i t sounds bad on low volume its a good amp because it will sound good on high volume

+ im in a band 30 watts is not going to cut it

thats why i went with a fender fm65r

^ he obviously just upgraded from that 100 dollar behringer starter pak. dont worry dude, i did too, and i felt the same way. but slowly you will see that this amp is only top of the line for begginers, and you'll get really sick of it and want something with valves.

I would rather get the Fender Frontman 25r over this amp, although the reverb on the Fender Frontman is crap, the Fender amp sounds much better than this amp, even when cranked, which it sounds crap at.

probably that's because your amp sucks!
i don't know where are you from, but here in italy i bought a good amp. probably you got a bad one with problems.

i've heard that sometimes people buy this amp and got terrible sound. i got luck and i bought the good one

xD

and i play from 3 years. and i might know something about guitars and amps.

I've been playing 3 years and i find it's probably best for metal or heavy rock. Not really my style, but it suits me fine. I got it 4 months ago, no problems yet.
I don't really think you can go wrong with a Marshall.

wht is the model of the footswitch that works with this amp?

The PED801 works with it. It just came in the mail today and really helps. I don't get what's with all the trashing of this amp. Sure it's not great, but it's not bad either. It does the job and i've had mine almost a year and a half and it's fine.

wow, thats great man, what you dont realise is the big bands dont use mgs (no matter what zakk or kerry say) hey use good moarshalls, tube marshalls

Im not so sure, youd need a thing that at least had 40W, and then youre right to go, not with 30W Marshall!

Yeah, mine's fine, I've had it for like 3 years and absolutely thrash it (To the point of playing bass through it live!) Ok, the distort channel has an odd habit of going clean on you, and the footswitch is a cheaply made, fragile peice of shit, but i use a multi effects so it doesnt bother me. I've played numerous gigs on it (on guitar and bass) and can get useable tones out of it on both, it gives the bass a nice lift to make it audiable. For guitar it doesnt offer great tones on its own, but because the initial sound is so bland it gives you a nice 'blank canvas' for multi effects.
That's a very good point. While the tone and versitality aren't that bad, they're just average, nothing special. But combined with quality pedals, the amp is great!

Mine broke after 4 months as many of the posts seen here, really disapointing.

Now I've bought the Line 6 Spider III 75 which is WAY more awesome, tons of effects, good sound, multiple setups, ...

Don't buy this Marshall please, this is really a fake...

i have this amp. Over drums its loud enough if you play rhythum but i play lead and found that even when i turn it up full its hard to get it loud enough, you can hear it but it doesnt quite stand out enough over the rest of the band. If your playing live i'd recomend a stronger marshall.

Seriously, folks, the tone goes down the drain when using the OD channel. And I KNOW it's not the guitar...I use an Epiphone Slash Signature Les Paul...so it's not that. The thing has such a shrively down to it. The noise goes in and out and tremble on just one power chord!

For this price, you can get a used Peavey ValveKing 112.

Think about it, and try before you buy.

Seriously I've bought a Roland 30 cube as a practice amp and I use the Boss ME-70 for effects... now I realy like the distortion, it goes from, blues-rock to death metal... call it a clean distortion, no ennoying buzz of fuzz sound if you don't want it... but then the marshall Mg-30... it's distortion is CRAP!! when I play lead solo's on distortion I want a sweet smooth sound... not a fuzzy sound!! damn Marshall!! I'd expected better from you

This amp isn't as bad as everybody is telling in UG. But yeah there are better amps around. We have one in our band house and we had to play with it because the Engl head wasn't plugged and our guitarist said whattaheck, he's gonna play through the crappier amp.

Oh, and forgot to mention, our guitarist plugged a delay in front of it and the amp started humming a lot, especially with OD channel. With clean you could notice the hum but it didn't disturb. That was annoying because we needed the delay for the songs but it hummed even when bypassed. I don't know what was wrong with it if it was the cable our guitarist used or the pedal or the amp.

I play this amp on my ESP LTD K-500, and it sounds great, im very surprised at some of the extreme negative comments. I mean c'mon its Marshall, a very well respected brand as used by metal bands like metallica and slayer. With a good guitar this amp is great.


'c'mon its a marshall'
wow, thats great man, what you dont realise is the big bands dont use mgs (no matter what zakk or kerry say) hey use good moarshalls, tube marshalls
+ 1

Every brand has their bad products. Not every Marshall is good just because it's Marshall. And a good amp will sound good when played with not so good guitar but with a good guitar they will sound great. But I don't know, this isn't that bad amp, maybe overpriced and there are better amps around with the same price. So don't get fooled by the name but it does its job. Here's advice: Don't buy anything without trying it first. You are the one who decides if it sounds good or not, don't let people decide for you. If you like the sound of MG then it's OK, go buy it. But please compare it to something else before buying it!!!!

Using the built in amp makes it sound like mud, even when running MFX through the clean channel, regardless of EQ settings.
