  • Hello, I had a little question. What is the difference between the Marshall MG250DFX and the Marshall MG100DFX?

    Also, what price range should I expect to find these two amps in normally?

  • @NausherwanSaleem

    MG250DFX = 2speakersx50 watts.. which is 100 watts

    MG100DFX = 1speaker which is 100 watts...

    DFX stands for Digital Effects

    

  • is the bass riff at 3:24 from a song? If it is, which song?

  • can you plug any line 6 pedel into this?

  • is the sound coming from the 1x 12 speaker or is it miked into a pa

  • Joeb0 - regarding spelling and grammar. Hey folks think about it! Is it acceptable to play the wrong notes (spelling) - or play the chord progression out of order (grammar) and then expect your listener to "know what you meant"? Music is language (a universal one, actually). Shouldn’t we be as careful in our spoken and written language as our musical language?

    I have this amp - it is beyond my needs and I will be selling it shortly.

  • Jimmy, there's spell-check now in every browser, therefore people can now correct their spelling and grammar. Also, the reason I stress on spelling is to ensure that people understand what people are saying. We have to remember that this is youtube, and people will want to read the comments in their own language. if there's spelling mistakes or abbreviations , some words will not be translated at all with a translation program like Google translate.

  • @joeb0 You used incorrect grammar. You said "if there's spelling mistakes or abbreviations..." Your sentence should have been capitolized, and instead of typing "there's" you should have put "there are" because "there's" means "there is" but since the sentence is plural, that's incorrect. You're a hypocrite.

  • @bmxmisfits thank you for the correction.

  • @bmxmisfits I think you'll find it's spelled "capitalized".

    Have a nice day.

  • @edaemus84 thanks.

  • @joeb0 Did you ever stop to think that all of these comments which are not related to the video could be more confusing than grammar? When someone decides to watch a video, why should they be forced to read a bunch of petty comments about grammar and childish personal attacks? You are talking about spelling being confusing. I don't think spelling is the problem.

  • line 6 or marshall how would this comapare to the line 6 75wat to this which is better

  • 1 question dude...that guitar you got there, could you compare it with a rr3 or rr5 jackson? im just thinking of buying a marshall 100dfx with a rr5. please reply...

  • I've been wanting a Marshall MG100DFX Combo amp to play out in a band with, but wasn't sure if they were loud enough or even sounded that good like those older Marshalls!!!!

  • @TheBGrogan they really do, it's amazing, if you crank the volume amp the amp sounds even better :D at least it's been a really great amp to me, never failed in power or tone, totally recommendable to buy (Y) ;)

  • This amp is awesome!

  • Does the "Marshall MG Stompware" footswitch work on this amp? :D

  • I love his guitar

  • @Creamcake24 What guitar is that?

  • what's the EQ that he's using???

  • I just got the Marshall MG 250 DFX today, and I can't seem to get a heavy sound like the guy in this video does with the MG 100DFX. I also used a BOSS MT2 Metal Zone with my 250 DFX, but still i couldn't get that heavy rock n roll metal sound. Should I get the 100DFX? Keep the 250? Get a better distortin pedal? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

  • @fritosofdoritos the advantage of the mg100dfx is the variety of tone and efficiency, so if you want a better tone, then sell your amp and buy the mg100dfx. On the other side you got a sensation of more power with the mg250dfx, because of it being bigger and having a dual system, although the amount of watts remains the same...

    Anyway... i'd strongly recommend you to buy the mg100dfx... at least i did :P

  • @fritosofdoritos He's probably just playing throug something else, lol...can't really tell if he's using the marshall for REAL or not...these vids of people trying to sell their shit is only so they can sell whatever is in the vid...nothing ever sounds the way they portray it to be...line 6 does the same thing, its bullshit and a lot of consumers fall for that crap...I'm sick of it.

  • guess this is Chinese built ?

  • @overandout58 mine was made in india

  • @overandout58 In deed.

  • Whats he playing at around 2.15 it sounds awesome

  • @swon171 i think its just improv, but songs that sound similar to what hes playin there would be save your love by great white. another song similar to that would be is this love by whitesnake

  • can you possibly put up a video that uses the effects loop?

  • Rob Math should just do all gear demo's from now on. He's so versatile!

    Also, I'm sick of people talking about how "bad" this amp sounds. I played one in a music store the other day and I got some pretty darn good tones dialed fairly quickly. It just goes to show that technique and knowing how to use your gear can let you sound good in any situation.

  • what is the guitar pickups of that guitar????!??!?!?

  • And that's what Marshall amps are all about - superb sounds, superb playing. What a great amp and not a tube in sight. Thanks for the great demo buddy.

  • And that's what Marshall amps are all about - superb sounds, superb playing. What a great amp and not a tube in sight. Thanks for the great demo buddy.

  • the head and cabinet sounds better (combo)

    good amps

  • Great video, i bought one of these amps too, and i think they're great.

    And hey, can you please tell me the name of the song you're playing at 2:16 ?

  • whats better? mg100dfx or mg102fx

  • Thanks for posting the vid, but what's with the quality? The HD version has very low bitrate on audio which is really a shame when demonstration audio gear... just an advice ;)

  • They used a minidv camcorder, that's why.

  • Thank you for posting this video. It's a real help mate.

  • Anyone interested in buying this half stack who lives in the north new jersey area please contact me. Some clips on my channel. I am selling it for $500 with MG100HDFX head and MG 4x12 cabinet. Standard edition, the black one.

  • I want his job.

  • tube or solid state?

  • @roaringwaterbay solid state, it also has a feature that makes it sound and respond more like a tube amp if you want that

  • anyone know the song he is playing right after he adds chorus on the clean channle at 2:15

  • it's a realy great Amp i like it alot and i might even buy it, but i don't know why people say it blows. the Od channel is pure awesome and the clean is just beautiful

  • i have 3 freinds who have bought this amp, they all regret it. i almost bought it, im glad i did not, i bought a peavey valve king and am changing the driver for a eminece legacy. the fact that its marshall means nothing. play many amps, tube, hybrid, solidstate, b4 u think about buy this

  • can you tap tempo??

  • this amp makes the guitar sound like a real Fender Strat

  • do everyone know what pickups the player in this video has? I have this combo and i havent so great sound :-( I use preamp digitech rp7 and I think that will use just this amp. And is it possible turn on and off delay in this combo with some pedal? with original it cant.

  • Well the model is Ibanez RGA321FSB i think, so you can check it's specs somewhere.

  • DiMarzio IBZs.

  • I bought this amp a couple of days ago, and I get a great atmospheric Gibson jazz-blues tone using my Epiphone Flying V Goth, neck pickup, very low drive setting, and 40% of digital reverb. Instead of using pedals, it's going to become my main amp with blues and hard rock tones, and I'll use a AB footswitch with my old cheap Delta amp, because the Delta have a great-sounding vintage fuzz setting on it. No effect pedals, everything on footswitches, I have a great range of 6 tones at my feet.

  • I baught the Hdfx, i was just wondering, why would they put delay/chorus on there, like there is already delay and chorus, they could have put a better effect there, but i can't really think of any other effects to put there :P

  • I agree, it's a cool amp, I heard a lot of people playing it at my local music store.

    For future reference, the word is bought, not baught.

  • haha thanks, i make that mistake alot.

  • no problem.

    oops, self correction:

    by my I meant the city's music store. I don't own it I just go there some times to buy picks and music books.

  • love the guys face when hes playing

  • what settings do you recomend on this amp?

  • i love how my mg100hdfx sounds no where near as good as this. i think i got a faulty one because everyone i know who has the same head as me gets great tone

  • If you are planning to post a comment, please read the description on the side for information.

  • como se llama la rola la ke toca sin distorcion?

  • you go to the clean channel to make and accoustic sound. For more info, watch part one.

  • what's the music at 2:17 ?

  • i have this amp but it doesnt sound anything like this, It sounds all messy and the fan is very loud. I play an epiphone Zakk Wylde custom guitar and its a prettie good guitar.

    Is my amp broken in some way? Because it really does not sound half as good as what it displays in the video.

  • Probably the guy testing this amp has a wicked guitar (don't know what you have so yeah)

  • Hey i got this amp today But i dont know how to switch between od1 and 2 because the button only allows me to turn Od on and off

  • i like how on the first video he plays master of puppets n on this one he does cliffs of dover wit the delay...i am so excited i just bought the head of this amp n i def dont think ill regret it...unless it comes broke...haha no jinx now lol

  • I'm plannin on sellin my Line6 Spider3 (30watt) to help pay for this one.

  • I'm currently selling my Spider 3 75W to get this amp.

  • I have the head and cabinet A and B and it sounds better than this little amp I think lol :P

  • 3:25-3:29 sounds like a bass that amp is awesome!!!

  • sounded really cool too

  • for a medium guitar player (me)

    would you recomend it??

  • This is great for medium players cause anyone who works a full time job can afford it within a week or less.

  • i have this amp but it is noisy and it got a beep in the background

    whats wrong??

    what can i do to fix it??

  • It's in the Frequently Asked Questions of the website:

    My unit is faulty but still under warranty what should I do?

    If your unit is under warranty you need to get into contact with the dealer you purchased it through and they will arrange the repair on your behalf. If your unit is over a year old but you have registered for the extended warranty you will still be expected to pay the carriage charge.

  • i want to buy 50w amp just like that, but i dont know if it is enough loud to jam with friends (bass and drums) in kinda small room.

  • this amp is perfect, if you've seen it in a store you'll see it's not really all that big.

    it's only 3' long x 2'9" high x 1' 11" deep

  • yes but i would like to know if it can be so loud as well, so when my brother plays drums, i could hear my guitar *i mean 50 w amp... what you think about that?

  • It would drown out the drums if you have it full blast.

  • go to your local music store to test out how loud it goes, better yet, rent one.

  • i might do that :*

  • use a 100.......but its enough to play with friends, but its a downside if the friend plays drums and verry hard on the drums

  • Dude, I have the 50 watt amp just like that and it will take your head off. I also have a 100 watt all tube amp and it is not that much louder. As a rule you have to triple the wattage to double the volume -- it is a physics equation that I will not post here!

  • I wanna buy one

  • is it possible if i wanna connect my mg250dfx to marshall cabinet mc 4x12 and at the same time i still can use my 2 speaker that already with the mg250dfx. could anyone who knows how, please tell me...

  • what is the song at 2;15 i rreally want to know bad

  • hes improvising.

  • if you wanna learn it do it by ear...not hard

  • The guy plays really amazing!

  • This amp looks very cool and good sound, but if you say he's using a pedal to do those sounds.... if someone knows a better amp please put the comment.... and it really has the sound of when i come around.

  • It's not the amp that makes the sound, it's the player. It is a very good amp though.

  • I agree. But i've got this amp, and it sounds very cool. You can make easily those sounds without using any pedal.

  • 3.27 haha slap guitar :L lol I'm deffo getting this amp...i remember playing on this amp, perfect for old Green day from dookie and stuff :)  sweet video :)

  • if you really want great green day tone get the 250 DFX. thats what i got and its very similar but after playing around with both amps the 250 was better for that green day dookie growl. i can nearly replicate green day tone with mine. honestly if im playing along with the cd i literally cant distinguish between my amp and the cd. and i have good ears.

  • well i have a line 6 amp too i have the spider 3 30w i dont like it either i was thinking o fthis one too ! but im not sure. i was thinking too of the roland cube 80x.

    soo yeah i would go for it .

  • He should be making albums and not working for Marshall.

  • agree.

  • Too "bright sounding".

    Bought this amp at the San Francisco, GC. $400.Played it for a couple weeks, then returned it.

    Too much midrange for me. Just could not get that over the top scooped out sustain. My Gibson 58 vos sounded like a strat (nothing wrong with that). Notice how he is constantly trying to find the tone? I was the same way. Could not get the sound! Sold out to the devil exchanged for the 2x10 120w Line6. Even the salesman commented "I see what you mean" when he played the MG.

  • im looking for an amp with really full sounds, nothing tinny or weak sounding. Could i get that with this amp? or would you reccomend something else?

  • same im still trying to find the perfect sound on it

  • what are the setting of the begin song??

    I cant get them

  • avt series has a bit better distortion

  • I am definately getting this amp, it's like $420.00 and i almost have enough money.

  • I would probably get this! That is unless you want a smaller amp. Then the MG30DFX is good. And (to the video) Nice demonstration, thanks!!!!

  • whats the diffrence between this and the mg100hdfx half stack!?

  • Half Stack you can put in huge speakers that you can stack, this is a combination of the head and 2 small speakers. The half Stack you can put a stack speakers under the head yourself. The exact specs of which speakers you can add on you'll have to see on the Marshall Amplification website.

  • Please someone help me . Is this amp better than Marshall AVT50X ? Thanks

  • not at all

  • this is a nice demonstration. i checked this demo before i bought mine. now i play my guitar without any gadget because of this awesome amp. you may also check my "guitar only" videos for additional demo of this awesome amp :-)

    this is worth your money.

  • What (if any) song was he playing at 2:16?

  • is this a good amp to my cause i am desperate for a new amp!

  • does the clean channel go loud enough for gigs

  • i like the parts where he plays those paul gilbert licks \m/

    man... this amp is MINE!

  • what does he plays from 2: 15 to 2:25!!!

  • Sounds like Bullet For My Valentine-Say Goodnight (Ac version)

  • Tubetubetube blah blah blah............Some of the best players, with the most full, saturated and lush tones have played through solid state amps. As far as I'm concerned it's entirely down to the player, their own individual touch and how much you're willing to practice to make what you can get sound professional. I don't have any issues with the dudes tones here and I'm sure if need be, I could gig with this amp. It's no substitute for what I've got, but sometimes you have to make due.

  • thank you, some people don't realize that what one does with a guitar is with practice, nothing else even if they want echo or sound effects but thats a bonus. it's about the playing, not the amp. if someone practices on a well made acoustic guitar they can sound as good as on an amp on clean mode.

  • I am between this one and the randall RG75G3PLUS...Any suggestions plz??

  • marshall!!!! marshall is the mustang of all amplifiers!

  • Does it have 2 speakers?

  • one 12" speaker. but you can get it as a amp head and probably get two 1960A or AV speakers with it.

  • does anyone have the tabs of the country part, he plays?

  • When he plays The clean its SOOO Sweet n HOT he RULES!!!

  • what song is the first clean riff from it sounds familliar

  • it sounds to me like sanatarium from metallica

  • nah its not welcome home (sanitarium), I don't know what is it though

  • Hi I bought a Marshall MG100DFX, really very high quality.

  • I love the country part!

  • It sounds a great amp.its a good alternative for the tube amps of 3500 dollars for those who cant afford

  • LOL i brought one today it is seriously the best amp even kicks the all mighty 212 100 watt fender amp i love marshall! screw it rob math is awesome too

  • then i guess nobody cares

  • how does the AVT series compare to this MG Series??

  • hey i need an amp for small gigs would you recommend this one?

  • i like that guys he knows what he is doing :)

    i think i gonna buy that nice amp :D

  • yes!!! I JUST BOUGHT THIS AMP AND ITS AMAZING LIVE!!!

  • hey would you recommend it for small-medium sixe gigs?

  • i use this amp with epiphone g-400 at home.

    i play classic rock-ad/dc-mostly so i use less overdrive, but sometimes i like to play harder, like megadeth or john-5, then i use second step (overdrive button in) for me is enough and i'm very happy using it i mean price/quality

  • i don't play metal, but maybe i can buy it because it's the only mARSHALL Amp 100watt at 368euro, it's the only marshall not expensive

  • That's some funny stuff man, you totally know how to play. Hope to get there someday. Cool.

  • do pedals [i.e big muff] sound better when put in valve amps???

  • depends on the pedal - with the big muff along with many other distortion pedals, it certainly does sound better with a valve amp.

  • get an ibanez rg guitar it really good to have if you play metal :)

  • i got that amp today it kicks ass...but i dont know what guitar to buy...can u help me? i play metal and have a budget of 500 euros

  • get an ibanez prestige

  • zakk wylde epiphone or gibson you can drop c it and drop g it as with a floyd on most ibanezes you cant do that, plus teh wylde lp has emg actives and cool paintjob on teh zw lp

  • a jackson or ibanez look into those

  • I know it might sound odd but go for an ltd ex alot of them come with emgs they are neck thrus and they sound great

  • shit

  • i got mine for 160 quid off ebay. good deal imo

  • this guy is a god

  • dont get this amp. i modded mine and just used the panel as a preamp. fair enough wen i dun that it sounded gud but i coud hav had a half stac 4 the price it cost me

  • what guitar is that?

  • It can look like a Ibanez RG Prestige. Im not sure, but that's what I guess.

  • Aw man sounds bomb.The guitar and the the amp can play so many varieties of music. This is next on my 'To Buy list'. I just bought a Ibanez Grx20 series next its this amp then another Ibanez acoustic guitar.

  • the ibanez grx20 is amazing for the price right...i have one and i love it and im going get this amp

  • should i get this or the discountinued avt100 off of ebay?

  • its must be the cable or your guitar maybe cus i got that amp too and is great ;D u too must know to controll the excess of gain with palm mute or just dawn the volume

    have fun lol

  • I have this amp but for some reson it gives me crazy feedback, how does he keep so clean is he plugged in to the amp directly? or is he using some pedals with it? I plug my guitar straight to the amp but theres to much feedback and it sounds terrible, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • the main causes normally in solid state amps for lots of feedback can be the guitar. Id check the pickups through another amp with the same gain level .. thats what happened with a friend of mine. If thats the problem, take it to a good guitar shop. Also if your playing live and thats when it only ever happenes then think about turning the gain down as the amp produces its own gain as the volume increases. Most noise supressors wont stop the initial feedback and only gets rid of buzz ive found.

  • shit titty ball sac barbra streistand anus

  • no problem. maybe even 3th fret on E string. hope you find the right one :)

  • thanks g4nk5t4!

  • what note is he playing for the pinch harmonic at 6 seconds?

  • try the 3th fret of A string. can't see very well

  • what song is starting at 1:37 and 2:15?

  • at 6 seconds in the vid, do you need a wah pedal to do that??

  • no. it's a pinch harmonic

  • he's good! which is better... the 250 or 100?

  • i love it how he just takes off with that incredible solo and then realizes he's in an amp demo, and like steps back shy. this guy is really amazing. and the amp is kick ass.

  • 0:30 and so on sounded to me like Petrucci's :) you know, when everyone shuts up and let him do a solo without drum or even bass, it sounded to me like that. I am SO getting this amp!!!!

  • is this louder than the mg250?

  • they are both 100 watts. the mg100dfx has 1 100 watt celestion speaker and the 250 has 2 50 watt celestion speakers. the mg100dfx is better though because the fan on the back of the 250 gets really anoying :)

  • Which Song is that at 2:15???

    Cheers xD

    my english is not very well xP

  • What model is the guitar?

    Ibanez RG series?

  • Ibanez RGA321F

  • yes it sounds like steve vai. i have a JEM 7VWH and i´m going to buy this amp to play at home

  • 0:30 to 1:05 sounds really cool!

    Can anyone tell me, to which guitar player this style of playing refers to?

    At the beginning some kind of blues here, and then it sounds like Steve Vai, isn't it?

    Thanks for your help.

    Cheers, from Austria

  • Yes Like Stevie Vay but pleas etabs for 1 39

  • i got this amp tpday =D

  • I have to record these amps all the time, and in the right hands they sound fine, but the top end is fizzy and horrible. I just put up with it, or re-amp later.
