Marshall MG100HDFX Half Stack

[KEV12584W]

i have just got the mg100hdfx and i cant find a foot switch that will work with it. Any idea what one i need?

[MegaBarger]

Weak

[ThrashMetalTrivum]

how good is that caninet for metal? i am currently gigging, and i want a half stack instead of my combo. I dont want this head though.

[vermin171]

@ThrashMetalTrivum There are better cabinets out there, certainly if you're gonna be looking at using a different head...

[JBL8863]

Your effects are dialed in to strong... Your killing the tone by over using the effects.

[otm3904]

I love coming to these videos and listening to all the 12 year olds comment on guitar playing. They have been told by the amp builders that only tube amps sound great.. Fact: In 1995 Hartley Peavey took his TransTube amp to the NAMM show and blind A/B tested it against tube amps. Nobody including the pro guitarists at the NAMM show could pick out the solid state amp. It's fact, and it wasn't yesterday it was 1995. You are all just sheep buying the overpriced tube amps they want you to buy.

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

@otm3904 This isn't a tube amp, it's solid state.

[tauntauntots]

@otm3904 Amen bro! I totally agree, people just assume tube amps are better because there told that from day one. I own this same exact amp, have been my only one for 5 years straight, I'm deciding on a new amp to change up my tone since this is not the best SS amp it wont be that hard to find a better one but still as a first half stack this has been a wonderful amp and especially for the price.

[chuckelator]

@otm3904 I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this for sure. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some really nice SS amps out there, but I've found they are few and far between. My Marshall Lead 12 kills as a practice amp, and sounds very tube like, but for the most part, SS amps tend to lack articulation, warmth (especially on the cleans), touch sensitivity, and response to the guitar volume. Just my two cents.

[EPI6fingers]

Mine is a 2007 Model and for almost 5 years I have using It side by side with a 1981 Marshall JCM 800 and its been a perfect match ever since!

[mrmusicrocks1]

Can someone tell me the difference between this and the HFX?

[vermin171]

@mrmusicrocks1 The HFX is the newer version of this amp, it has a few new features and the front panel has had a bit of a facelift. Marshall also claim that the sound has been improved, I have tried the new MG series and I personally think they sound much better...but I'd try them out for yourself!

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

@mrmusicrocks1 The HFX is the newer version, but from what I have seen, it is not as well made as the HDFX. I own the HDFX and one of the things I love about it is the contour knob that can boost or scoop the mids. The HFX doesnt have a contour control. Also, the HFX head is smaller and now has all these cheap plastic buttons. I think it has a built in tuner though. All in all, they are pretty similar, but I think the HDFX has better build quality.

[thegodthathatesall]

how does this thing do for heavy metal like metallica

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

@thegodthathatesall It works well if you are on OD2 and scoop the mids. But if you want more gain I would look at a JCM 800 or 1000 series.

[hottotts30]

how does this respond to fuzz tones? i usually run an overdrive, distortion, with two fuzz pedals and i hear this head adds some fuzz to it

[14ax2]

does MARSHALL MG STOMPWARE work with this?

[vermin171]

@14ax2 The Marshall MG Stompware pedals only work with the new MG4 series, which would be the newer MG100HFX head, this model only works with the old style (non-programmable) footswitches.

[AliceMudgarden94]

mepa que el cabezal no es malo, el que es malisimo es el gil que toca :grin:

[polishskaterdude32]

whats the first song?

[DevinDraper115]

@polishskaterdude32 Sounded like Buried Alive from Venom!! Great tune!!!

[MatKiller1197]

this effects are on the amp?

[joshcravesheartcore]

would this be good for any genres lets say .. post hardcore?ish msg me plz nd let me kno :o

[mrnailz360]

Ok, I've just bought this off eBay. My first stack, I've just started gigging, I pay £250 for this. I needed something quickly and cheap. I have a BOSS ME-70 Multi Effects Unit.

[PeeteTv]

@mrnailz360 I also have the Boss ME-70, and I'm looking for a half stack amp for gigs! I always heard the Marshall MG series amps sucked pretty much, and I found a pretty cheap decent looking Kustom KG100HFX. Do you know anything about it? Think it's any good?...

[AntaresX9]

I guess the problem here isn't the player but the equipment used

[Nightrain97GreenDay]

Aw c'mon, he's not so bad. Why people have always to criticize? Nobody here is Joe Satriani or Jimmy Page so shut the fuck up and judge yourself before judging anybody else. Come on, it's a fucking video!

[LifeLongGamer]

This guys not that bad. Its just he's using a bad mic so the sound quality is quite poor. Why is it that unless your a perfect guitarist people assume your shit?

[neochase1]

@LifeLongGamer Thanks for saying it man! Youtube is a ruthless arena !

[jaxthehate11]

Guys come on hes really not that bad... Yea he doesnt shred but give him or here a break jesus

[guitdude09]

Ignore the scum dude, i was worse than this when i started haha.

[ebomoh]

everybody sing with me.... you suck!!!!! you suck!!! youuuuuu suck! youuuuuu suck!!!!!

[guitdude09]

@ebomoh how about everybody sing *you're a dickhead you're a dickhead* , hey your name backwards is homo be lol. I guess its back to naruto with you.

[MuhammadSweepmez]

did your parents seriously buy a squire, then when out and bought you a fucking marshall half stack? i hate when people who suck dick have better gear than me.

[trevwagner094]

@MuhammadSweepmez its only an mg so its not very expensive

[kdiamond5]

someones a VENOM fan.....Keep practicing, take your time, you're on your way......I wish I had that amp.

[bluesboydude]

i wanna have this amp ;D

[piearenice]

@someguy131415

Dude, you've been being a dick all week, just calm down.



[twang41]

hahaahha flange

[louiscfc93]

is it just me or are you playing Venom-Buried Alive at the start ?

[jordidwdw]

do these effecs come with the amp or are the effects pedals ?? :)

[xyzd70]

Are there any marshall amps that have a clean setting like a fender hot rod but still have good distortion

[PitPack]

@xyzd70 Short answer: no.

Longer answer: it's possible but it's hard to find, takes a lot of effort and is potentially quite expensive.

[connorgow]

@Marcel3540 from all the awesomeness!!!!!!!!!

[metallicadude10100]

You think I can use the Marshall MG4 Pedl-90008 foot switch with the same amp you got plz some one help me

[lhtrf]

@TasteForDisaster learn to actually read the date it was posted on before trying to diss someone.

[TasteForDisaster]

@lhtrf what does the date have to do with anything? so what that it was 2 years ago. 2 years ago he tried to show off, and failed. that's all there is to it.

[wirHASSENstyler]

i bought the peavey valveking head 100 with a peavey cabinet a week ago but i think i have to send it back because the lead channal sucks how is the lead channal on this amp, for metal like metallica and stuff like that

[Kraden85]

@wirHASSENstyler you should get rid of that amp,ive had one and i broke down all the time. the tubes just blow up!

[wirHASSENstyler]

@Kraden85 i don´t wan´t it anyway, the lead channal is horyble. what amp did you get ?

[xEMeehanx]

@Marcel3540 thats a good thing :)

[gunsnroseswttj]

how much was the amp? where did you get it?

[surferboy14lp]

where can you get a full stack

and can you get the same amp head on it

i'm talking proper size cabinets

[latinflowproduction1]

@surferboy14lp musiciansfriend bro

[surferboy14lp]

@latinflowproduction1 thanks bro

how well do you think marshall amps do with Boss pedals

if you know

[latinflowproduction1]

@surferboy14lp srry for the late comment , boss pedals are ok with marshall amps but , i prefer line 6 pod for marshall amps.

[PassionOfTheDevil666]

Tone was terrible here and may be the way he recorded it too.. but.. I've actually played on one of these and it takes some tweaking to get it to sound nice and thick but it can be done. Get a nice booster, eq, and a compressor and it all works out. As with pretty much any amp.

[chrisdyckk]

oh my god my ears are bleeding uahdfkuhasiuhewiahfishdfaiuhgg­gggggggggggg

[mollelulle]

could u send me info about how u optionised trebble and all that

[BenjyGoodrich08]

Dude, whats with all the D chords?

[danielgriffin121]

This amp comes with a pre set pedal...yes... thinking about getting one but don't know much about them...can you let me know...anyone...thankz :)

[angrymetalhead1]

i have tha mg100hdfx and i know we all have different tastes in sound but im starting to get very bored with this,doesnt have that full phat sound,im usin zw emg pick ups in a jackson warrior guitar,gonna go check some tube amps out,before you buy an amp do ya homework otherwise you might be sorry you bought it

[StrikingMinors]

@angrymetalhead1

Active pickups tend to sound worse than passives through solid state amps, I found.

Through a nice tube amp, though... :D

[mindingosafado]

SELLING MG100HDFX HEAD in LOS ANGELES AREA

[TheGuitarProphet]

Can anyone tell me the differances between a strait cab and a slant cab. I know that sound dispersion is one thing, and also that strait cabs have more bottom end but I'm going to buy one cab, and I can't really decide.

[Poddymagee]

i have this ...i hate it ....jcm cab is awesome get anoyther head if you have this one break it

[Hench666Hunter666Jay]

dnt give a shit what anyone says i love this amp! very tony for solid state!

[s3kjack]

THIS IS A HORID EXAMPLE OF THE WORKS OF THE GREAT MGHDFX. I HAVE ONE BUT I DONT USE THIS CRAPPY DELAY STUFF.

[123danielr]

would it be a good idea to trade a vox ac-130 amp for a marshall stack??

[vOuijaa]

@tivo309 exactly what im doing, lol cuz it actually has a decent clean.

[BluntObject1234]

I'm getting this stack but im not making a video of it. I go the way of Johnny Ramone the arch enemy of guitar wizards. I'll get flamed to hell.

[GibsonSg1275]

Idk if this sounds stupid or not but : Is this a tube amp or no?

[Canadianspunge]

@GibsonSg1275 No.

[Canadianspunge]

@GibsonSg1275 No. The entire MG series is transistor. They could give some tubes a run for their money though... =)

[GibsonSg1275]

@Canadianspunge Yea i bet! And one other thing. is it possible to add tubes to a transistor amp?

[Canadianspunge]

@GibsonSg1275 Nope.

[GibsonSg1275]

@Canadianspunge Ok Thanks For your help!! :)

[Canadianspunge]

@GibsonSg1275 No problem.

[McKalistin]

Do you think that i could use this on a rowhouse or is it too loud?

[IbanezArtist13]

thanks for putting this up

[randyrhoads3]

Well darn doodly. Can someone just tell me if this is a better buy than a Line 6 half stack?

[Hench666Hunter666Jay]

@randyrhoads3 line6 are shite! if you want solid state amp with balls get a laney lx120

[randyrhoads3]

@Hench666Hunter666Jay Yeah I tried one out. Your right. The only thing a line 6 can say is that it has a Celestion. It's kind of a kids toy. The Spiders are good. But not for a half stack. I have been looking at a B-52 LS100 though. And I like that a lot. I got a $600 budget for this.

[bigcatroberts]

@randyrhoads3 I sold my Line 6 Flextone II for a B-52 LS-100 with the matching cab. It's a great head but just so you know it has overdrive channels not distortion so you may want a hi gain pedal to go with it. I'm also using a Boss ME-50. The Boss MEs are suppose to complement the head and so far I agree.

[randyrhoads3]

@bigcatroberts Alright. Thanks for the help man. :D

[AlexChaseMusic]

i bought this, sold the head, kept the cab. peice of crap

[mmim4]

@AlexChaseMusic what half stack is good for metal? for $1000 or less?

[AlexChaseMusic]

@mmim4 uh, im not much of a metal man. i like classic rock, so i use this vintage yamaha and i get a zeppelin sound out of it. but a good half stack for metal, id probably just get a line 6 spider valve mkii head. sell the marshall head. keep the cab.

[DizzlerDazzler]

overdrive 2 is my favorite :D

[bengativo6]

was it that buried alive from venom at the begining? i think it was

[mikevmpr3]

and eww at 3:24 for scooped mids >.<()

[mikevmpr3]

I only like the DFX on this thing. tone is way to sharp for my liking... i like the wetness of the fx tho

[gir683]

hey man.

do you know where the fuse box is at on the amp?

ithink one of mine went out.

please respond as soon as possible,

thanks

[JURRASICPARK123]

which head is better

a MGHDFX or the MGHFX??

[wcpm]

@JURRASICPARK123 MGHDFX have more features...

[stephen0093]

@JURRASICPARK123 unfortunately neither. all marshall mgs suck

[AwakenChannel]

@JURRASICPARK123 Get the Marshall MG-100FX head

[beatlemaniac1966]

@JURRASICPARK123 I received the MGHFX for xmas, its a great amp, you can get tons of amazing tones out of it, I highly recommend it.

[blackzabbathfan]

@JURRASICPARK123 i have the hdfx and it's great

[siesta1129]

@blackzabbathfan he was joking lol

[tirithon147]

[gueupeu]

@JURRASICPARK123 Both suck

[Marcel3540]

@JURRASICPARK123

i would say this one.. i dont know why, i have the new one, but this one sounds cooler.. well.. now i have a mesa boogie rectifier dual xD

[XxxDrxFeelgoodxxX]

Dist. Channel two settings?

[sk8rifa]

awesome please check my video testing this amp with some metallica riffs

[ten25go]

JMD series is the best...

[diazcamille]

This kinda hurt my ears.....

[holycross23]

what price ranges do half stacks come in?

[DeathMetalAngel123]

@holycross23 Lots of price ranges. Anywhere from $500 all the way to $2000 and above.

[ebritt91]

@holycross23 cheap ones for about 450 US dollars, if you mix and match, you could probably get it lower

[FullmetalFan500]

is this amp good for a show or even a concert?

how loud is it?

[RiffRaff993]

I have a 100fx MG marshall pre amp. and for some reason i always get so much un wanted feed back everytime i want to turn it up a bit loud. could anybody help me on what i might be doing wrong?

[darkrai1555]

Oops sorry. Wrong video! :)

[darkrai1555]

All you noobs saying, "Valve amps suck, get a tube amp" need to do research. Valves

are the same as a tubes. They're vacuum tubes. That's what valves/tubes are.

[S4ckripper]

durr wtf at the end faggot

[JohnMMorleyGuitar]

Dude, i need your help, i got this head yester with a cab for £150, preowned (awesome deal me thinks), but the delay/chorus/flange doesn't work, in the DGFX part of it only the reverb and amster volume knobs actually do something!!!

Am i missing something here or would it may be a faulty wire :\?

If so where would i be able to get it fixed?

[maxreaper25]

@JohnMMorleyGuitar look... return it if possible, b/c to get it fixed, u may as well get a new amp. therees a reason it was so cheap, cmon man, its MARSHALL not crate...

[joo1r1ho]

what the fuck, you just raped my ears.

[icecube0606]

buried alive at the beggining...nice

[icallgreens]

Great effort on this review! I have the same cabinet but i went with a b-52 head instead of the marshall. Thanks for the help!

[stratcat70]

i agree with ibanezgast!! damn learn to play before demonstrate and reveiw a great product.

[FEARthisGrunt]

would a solid state or a tube be better for a Breaking Benjamin,Seether,Three Days Grace drop tuned alternative style?

[scotty688]

@FEARthisGrunt Tube is better for any type of music.. only if you can afford one though, Solid states can still get close to the sounds you're after, but not as good as tube.

[iancurtisfanatic]

@FEARthisGrunt solid state

[0SevenCarPileUp0]

the only reason people pay money for this is because it says marshall on it.

[HaRv3sT3RoFsOrRoW]

damn i wish i wasnt so poor. too broke to rock. lol i got a fucking roland micro cube

[andrenogueira775]

@HaRv3sT3RoFsOrRoW does it mean you cant rock?

[HaRv3sT3RoFsOrRoW]

@andrenogueira775 nah man, i just cant aford the equipment. i got a little micro cube amp. it works for me

[moose501]

ur playing sucks but cool amp.

[FullSolo]

[11aggies]

Butchered.

[toxicwaltz89]

[HaraldBoysProduction]

nice played..

is this good for metal? im planning to Buy an Ibanez Mtm2 this summer. need a good amp which can make a good metal sound. like you hear in slipknot and such bands.. and ofcourse not to expensive.. any tips if not this?

[Izisal]

it sucks when noob guitar ppl make amp reviews.

[duhhh187]

@Izisal stop bitching and do something about it!!

[Izisal]

@duhhh187

i need to buy a camera and i'll show u some real shit

[TravelMates93]

@Izisal and when they are buying 100w headamps...

[A7xMATTa7x1]

@Izisal it also sucks when guitar noobs think they need big amps when they suck just cause they think it will make them seem good

[fritosofdoritos]

can someone tell me the price ranges of this?

[Teutonic1250]

0:13 haha venom buried alive...classic

[TheToastofthetown]

when you play delay in the beggining, it sounds like the sound in the intro in tears dont fall

[rivpl]

whats the difference between a tube amp and a normal amp??? please answer me i want a good answer. i know tube amps are better but why??? and tell me also the price difference

thanks

[DEM4LITION]

@rivpl A tube amp ussualy tends to have a warmer sound... their mostly used for blues and stuff like that. its kinda like slashes soling sound. amps that arent tube amps have this crunchier, thinner sound that pierces your ears when your shredding... just check out some of dimebags stuff from cowboys from hell and youll know what i mean...

[blackriverbridge]

@rivpl a tube amp gives you a more clasic sound such as heared in songs by led zeplin and cream. they are also louder but more expensive. so if youre into that you should purchase one. solide state amps are god for begeners they have lots of effects and distortion for a small price, but you woulnt get that clasic ich tone a tube amp has.

[joakorush2112]

MARSHALL!!!!

[Vermillion2176]
