marshall mg

[crazy_guitar_man]

i was wondering if anyone ever had any experience with this amp i am looking to get a half stack and i definitly want either a marshall or peavy but mainly a marshall....i have been looking and i saw this one and wanted to know what everyone though about it...i am assuming since marshall makes it it would have the quality of their amps...it just doesn't have some of the things the high end ones do or is this just a total pos from them???

I would recommend this over a MG

MG's weren't very well regarded by many players. I like the HD147 much better. It does EVERYTHING

I agree with MrSandMan, not a lot of guitarists agree with the MG but having said that, try to find somewhere or someone that will let you test them before you buy.

The line6 would be a much better choice in my eyes, plus they look damn cool.

Another reccomendation would be the Behringer LX1200H or the combo. Its my main stage amp and I love it. I run it through a 1x12 now (used to be a 1x8) and it sounds even better. I think its a clon of the line6 but I'm not entirely sure, it something to further check

But like I say it depend on what you're after. I'll upload some clips I recordered with my Behringer soon if I can find them

yeah i just didn't want to spend a lot cuz it would be used for some shows but nothing big so i will look at those ones you guys said and see if i can't find one like the one priced that you put mrsandman....the only thing i like about musciians friend is that you can pay a certain amount every month so i dunno...ill keep looking and thx for you guys help

[MrSandMan]
