@corpralkirsch I'm much better now than I was when I recorded this, since this is 2 years old. I can play sorta fast using blues scales and some major and minor scales, but I can't do anything really technical yet.
@JTstratman13 yeah same, im still trying to sweep pick but its so hard just today i learned pinch harmonics, but what i like to do is quick hammer on and pull offs on the pentatonic scale and some bends and it sounds pretty cool, ive been playin since i was 14 a little over 4 years now
@SilentDestruction900 It has a lot of gain, especially if your guitar has humbuckers. It might sound better with some pedals but you can get by with its overdrive channel.
@roy32096 maybe i have a duo band and ive been thinking of getting the zakk wylde one, just because the jcm and the mg combo are both a pain to lug around.
@guitarbrain666 no it really would be the same. I had an orange 60 watt, an ampeg 60 watt and a raven 60 watt and they were about the same on full. I also have this moicro stack
@austismitty133 It sounds decent, but there are other amps that are louder and cheaper. If you can find a used one and it suits your needs, go for it.
I have one of these amps too and the amp head sucks in tone and feedback! I am going to get a VOX "Night Train" head and put it on top and drive my cabinet for some real tube tone!
@StratBanez101 Place a mic in front of the cab, or run the line out into a PA or something. I don't think the pedal would make much of a difference in volume.
@JTstratman13 allright one more question if i pluged it into two amps would it make louder cause im planing to plug one into a clean and one into a dist/overdrive?
@mwiguitar62 I've never played any Peavey Vypyr's, but I'd probably choose this, or the combo version of this because it's cheaper. But you'd have much more volume with the 75 watt combo.
@mwiguitar62 im usin a vypyr man and i used to be a big fan of marshalls man those vypyrs are badass man they really punch gave me way more gain than a marshall with an overdrive pedal lol man i dont even need to use an effect it sounds amazin
@mwiguitar62 it depends i have a 60 and its a beauty theres 15, 30, 60, 75, and 100 and let me tell u u wont regret it i was gonna buy a jsd 100 i think it was kalled and it sounded great but when i tries the vypyr it was amazin the vypyr has so many effects like overdrive and like 12 different distortions from classic rock to like out of this world rock and heavy metal like its beautiful i might post up a vid of it in action wen i can alrite???
@mwiguitar62 haha the 75 has a great feature that letsu choose the amount of power u want to use womthing like that so u dont bust ur walls or something hey man keep up the spirit of playin gutiar man and by the way read the manual it will help u so u can save ur settings and ur tone and so u dont get frustrated the first day u buy it i got frustrated the first day but after i figured it out with the manual and im lovin it
@qlino1313 If you want to spend about half the cost of this, there is a combo version of this amp. If you want more features, there is a newer version of the micro stack that is $50 extra. Also keep in mind that humbucking pickups are generally louder than single coils. So, if your guitar has humbuckers, chances are you will have twice more volume than you would have with single coils.
@vanhalenfan79 It was $300 over a year ago, and now there is a newer version of the micro stack that is $350, so I'd say that this one used would be around $200-$300.
@JTstratman13 Can it be loud enough for live performances? i want something small for home and loud enough for live performances....wonder if this will work? anyways, thanks dfor the demo :)
@NoName01071992 It is pretty loud for a 15 watt. The volume was on 1 for this video. I've played guitar duo gigs with the micro stack's volume on about 3. I've had band practices with the volume on 5. It may not be loud enough for full band gigs, but it'll do for practice and small performances. If your guitar has humbuckers the amp will be almost twice as loud, as opposed to single coils.
There is also a combo version of this amp, which is almost half the price of this.
@JTstratman13 hmm....well if id buy it, i think itll be a better investment to buy a an amp with some more watts to it, the annoying part is that it jumps to 100watt pretty fast, and i dont wanna fill stadiums :P and i jsut liked the idea to have a small stack^^ anyways thanks for the info :)
@cesarggonzalez It is pretty loud for a 15 watt. The volume was on 1 for this video. I've played guitar duo gigs with the micro stack's volume on about 3.

I'd give this amp an 8 out of 10, mainly because of its price and it is solid-state, but it's still a good amp. With the right EQ settings, it could probably do pop-punk well.
This amp gets pretty loud for a 15 watt. The volume here was on 2. Of course if you have humbuckers it'll be louder. It's about half as loud with single coils.
thx alot I actually have the mg15cdr and I wanted a louder amp and I think a stack is also really cool but I can get the fender for 200 bucks which is dirt cheap for 100 watts but yeah I'll think about both
If I were you and wanted the micro stack, I'd try to find it used or for a low price, because you may be disappointed if you spend $300 on basically the same amp as the MG15CDR, just in the form of a stack. It is louder because of the two speakers, and is cool, but you may think you're wasting money. However, I'd still recommend it. And the new micro stack will do alot more than the MG15CDR.
stratman I have the choice between a fender frontman rt2( i think that's the name) and this since I allready have a Marshall I'm really going for the mg but the fender has a 100 watts...but as zakk wylde once sayed "there can only be one amp and that's a Marshall god bless Marshall" pls help
I've played a Fender Frontman 15 and I didn't think it sounded very good. I've never played the larger Frontmans. However, I have a Fender Ultimate Chorus and it's a great solid-state Fender. I assume it sounds similar to a Frontman 212. This micro stack is a lot of money for a 15 watt practice amp but I really like it's tone. I personally like the micro stack more than the Ultimate Chorus. Now, you can get a Marshall MG15FX, which is a combo version of the new micro stack and that's $150.
But the Fender has separate EQ's for each channel and is probably much louder. I say if you need volume and versatility, go for the Fender. If you want slightly better tone and a cool practice amp, go for the Marshall. But I would also suggest saving up for a tube amp. There are many used English Marshall tube heads that go for not much more than $500 or $600. And there are also some good deals out there on tube Fenders too.
Each cab is 15 watts. The head's input is 45 watts and its output is 15 watts. It's still pretty loud though. And the new MG micro stack has 4 different channels and is compatible with a footswitch, unlike this one.
ive already got the marshall 15 watt single amp without the stack, and i was looking at this and thinking about gettin it, is it any better than just the 15watt amp by itself, does the stack help it at all?
It's not much better. The stack is really cool and the 2 speaker cabs make a slight difference in volume. But I wouldn't recommend it to you if you already have the MG15, unless you just want it for the novelty.
I don't know if you could use a tube amp head with the micro stack cabinets. Maybe a small wattage tube head, and a solid state head should work with these cabs.
Definitely. I've played a few duo gigs for 20-30 playing classic rock with the volume on 3-4 set clean and crunchy, I've had band practices playing hard rock/metal with volume on 5, that's with a drummer, and I once played in a guitar ensemble using this in a theater that seats about 1,000 people with the volume on 5-6. The point is this amp will probably be loud enough for you: if your guitar has humbuckers. Using a guitar with single coils will reduce the volume by almost a half.
no way, i don't kno what this guys talking about, with 15 watts there's no way you can play that loud. With my old 40W peavy envoy 110 you could barely hear me over a drummer and with my marshall mg4 half stack i still don't think you could play all that loud and it's 100W
Well I'm sure you couldn't play a gig or something with a drummer using this amp. It was loud enough for band practice in a living room, maybe not on a stage or something. TStouffer, do use use humbuckers or single coils? This is a contributing factor to volume.
I will soon buy a Marshall JCM 900 half stack and that's gonna be very loud. It'll be my first tube amp. Tube amps are probably much louder than solid-state amps.
Right. Part of me regrets buying the micro stack in terms of tone, cause it was a lot of cash for a 15 watt amp, but then again, it's so cool, kind of like a novelty!
man - not 'probbaly" - WAAAAAY louder - be careful to try b4 u buy or u will have sumpn in ur bedroom so loud yo will go deaf playing it on anything over 2. Big tube amps are for gigs not bedroom bandits
I tried it out before I bought it and it's awesome. And yes it's very loud. I made a video of of and put it here on YouTube and the volume was only on 1. But hey it sounds good, and to me that's all that matters.
it really depends on the amp. I play with my youth group and a drummer and I have a 20W amp and can crank it loader than the drums. The size of your speaker effects it as well.
the overdrive can get you up to maybe...GNR... MAYBE if you have a bad ear haha. Just get a Metal Zone pedal and u can get some massively sexy tones out of this mofo... i actually recommend it... cheap too
I've jsut bought one of these off ebay for the tidy sum of £150 about $250, i'm getting it on sunday it's a great deal there are a few more still around on ebay i think :)
It's $300 for a 15 watt amp. I think it's worth it, but that's just me. If you like the way this amp sounds but don't want to spend $300, I suggest you get the Marshall MG15CD, which is the combo version of this amp, and is about half the price.
na none taken lol its my first amp and i figured since the guitars are good maybe the amps are too. so im wanting to get either a line 6 or a marshall.
better than no amp. personally i like line 6, and marshall...play them and trust your ears and dont listen to all the hype on youtube. they both sound good, just different. then again, about the best sounding 15 watt amp i ever had was a CRATE. IMO these amps are way underrated. i never played on a crate that didnt sound good for what it was. and i never had one break down on me in 16 yrs either.
is this amp good for using pedal board systems such as my rp350? my line 6 spyder 3 15 doesnt let pedals work right... on clean it makes the pedal sound acousticy and on metal/overdrive the amp with the pedal sounds like shit... this amp isnt like that right? ive had many problems with my spyder...
The only distortion pedal I have is a Boss DS-1 and I don't use it with this amp, but it sounds fine with it. I use other effects such as chorus, delay, and wah with this amp and they sound great. The other effects on your rp350 will sound good, and I think the distortion will sound good also.
This has been flagged as spam show
So if its only 15 watts can is still handle more than just a normal 15 watt? or louder with out blowing the speekers????

so the Peavey sounded good,
and the Peavey 75 watt and this cost the exact same,

this although is a Marshall, but its a MG. i dont like them very much, i wouldn't mind the stack because i just like it for some reason.

yojoe71 2 years ago
Each cab is 15 watts. The head's input is 45 watts and its output is 15 watts. It's still pretty loud though. And the new MG micro stack has 4 different channels and is compatible with a footswitch, unlike this one.

is there drive/distortion on it??
GibsonxLesxPaulx05 2 years ago
Yes there is an overdrive channel on it. It has plenty of gain. I now never go past 5.
(If you're wondering how I responded so fast, I kept clicking on the homepage and happened to get a comment!) ;)

Is this a tube amp?
ultimategamer07z 2 years ago
@ultimategamer07z
Unfortunately, it's solid state. However, it still sounds good for a solid state practice amp.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
@ultimategamer07z Epiphone have a cool tube amp 5 watts.
Its real loud since Tube is louder, aslong as you got a distortion pedal it sounds brutal!

ive already got the marshall 15 watt single amp without the stack, and i was looking at this and thinking about gettin it, is it any better than just the 15watt amp by itself, does the stack help it at all?
graham892 2 years ago
It's not much better. The stack is really cool and the 2 speaker cabs make a slight difference in volume. But I wouldn't recommend it to you if you already have the MG15, unless you just want it for the novelty.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
how much was this amp? i'm saving up for it but the cheapest i can find one is $200

I paid $300 for it.

Can the cabinets and head come apart?
Josh111597 2 years ago
Yes it's all separate and you can even use the head and one micro cab, or use the head with another cab.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
i have a question so if i buy this amp can i change the head to any other head because i cant have a big cab because i have no space
nebilmetalhead11 2 years ago
I don't know if you could use a tube amp head with the micro stack cabinets. Maybe a small wattage tube head, and a solid state head should work with these cabs.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
Yeah that's some good tone on your Fade To Black video!
JTstratman13 2 years ago
can you do a small gig witht his amp? i'm talking like 75-90 people
maxc713 2 years ago
Definitely. I've played a few duo gigs for 20-30 playing classic rock with the volume on 3-4 set clean and crunchy, I've had band practices playing hard rock/metal with volume on 5, that's with a drummer, and I once played in a guitar ensemble using this in a theater that seats about 1,000 people with the volume on 5-6. The point is this amp will probably be loud enough for you: if your guitar has humbuckers. Using a guitar with single coils will reduce the volume by almost a half.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
But also keep in mind that this amp is solid state. It sounds good for a solid state practice amp. But you might want to look into a tube amp...
JTstratman13 2 years ago
no way, i don't kno what this guys talking about, with 15 watts there's no way you can play that loud. With my old 40W peavy envoy 110 you could barely hear me over a drummer and with my marshall mg4 half stack i still don't think you could play all that loud and it's 100W
TStouffer 2 years ago
Well I'm sure you couldn't play a gig or something with a drummer using this amp. It was loud enough for band practice in a living room, maybe not on a stage or something. TStouffer, do use use humbuckers or single coils? This is a contributing factor to volume.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
humbuckers
TStouffer 2 years ago
I'm no expert, but I guess you couldn't do full band gigs with this amp...
JTstratman13 2 years ago
yea because i have a marshall mg4 halfstack(100W) and i never turn the amp up above 8 but it's barly loud enough
TStouffer 2 years ago
I will soon buy a Marshall JCM 900 half stack and that's gonna be very loud. It'll be my first tube amp. Tube amps are probably much louder than solid-state amps.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
yea and they have better tone
TStouffer 2 years ago
Right. Part of me regrets buying the micro stack in terms of tone, cause it was a lot of cash for a 15 watt amp, but then again, it's so cool, kind of like a novelty!
JTstratman13 2 years ago
@JTstratman13
man - not 'probbaly" - WAAAAAY louder - be careful to try b4 u buy or u will have sumpn in ur bedroom so loud yo will go deaf playing it on anything over 2. Big tube amps are for gigs not bedroom bandits
DocBrewster 2 years ago
I tried it out before I bought it and it's awesome. And yes it's very loud. I made a video of of and put it here on YouTube and the volume was only on 1. But hey it sounds good, and to me that's all that matters.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
it really depends on the amp. I play with my youth group and a drummer and I have a 20W amp and can crank it loader than the drums. The size of your speaker effects it as well.

destrada94 2 years ago
That's a great deal! You won't be disappointed cause this is an awesome practice amp and it sounds great for a budget solid-state amp.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
They only cost 60 at guitar center

The tiny ones are $60. I think you're talking about the MS-4. This one was $300 at Guitar Center.

Marshall also came out with a Zakk Wylde micro stack that looks and sounds totally bad ass!

where can you get this amp and is it good for metal
chunkeymonkey100 2 years ago
if you have the right peddle but alone its not that great :\
Ibanez723 2 years ago
I have a DS-1 and the Micro Stack has better distortion than that. But a nice distortion pedal will blow the overdrive channel away.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
the overdrive can get you up to maybe...GNR... MAYBE if you have a bad ear haha. Just get a Metal Zone pedal and u can get some massively sexy tones out of this mofo... i actually recommend it... cheap too
Basebalfan18 2 years ago
oh well how much does it run for with the pedle
chunkeymonkey100 2 years ago
Uh I'm not sure what you mean but I got my Boss DS-1 for $30. It's a decent cheap distortion pedal.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
what i ment was is the amp itself good for metal can you get good tones like that from it and how much is the amp itself withought pedals
chunkeymonkey100 2 years ago
Yes you can get a pretty good metal tone for a solid state and the micro stack is about $300. I never use my DS-1 anymore.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
I've jsut bought one of these off ebay for the tidy sum of £150 about $250, i'm getting it on sunday it's a great deal there are a few more still around on ebay i think :)

guitarsbunch347 2 years ago
so in your opinion do you think you're getting your monys worth?
mxfreak613 2 years ago
Oops... accidentally removed my comment...
It's $300 for a 15 watt amp. I think it's worth it, but that's just me. If you like the way this amp sounds but don't want to spend $300, I suggest you get the Marshall MG15CD, which is the combo version of this amp, and is about half the price.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
OR TRY EBAY ITS CHEAPER
santotoribio10 2 years ago
so ive got this ibanez 30 watt amp would this be louder than that cause its a micro stack or what?
mxfreak613 2 years ago
god love ibanez guitars but their amps sound like watered down goat piss to me...no offense lol
kempobrad 2 years ago
na none taken lol its my first amp and i figured since the guitars are good maybe the amps are too. so im wanting to get either a line 6 or a marshall.
mxfreak613 2 years ago
better than no amp. personally i like line 6, and marshall...play them and trust your ears and dont listen to all the hype on youtube. they both sound good, just different. then again, about the best sounding 15 watt amp i ever had was a CRATE. IMO these amps are way underrated. i never played on a crate that didnt sound good for what it was. and i never had one break down on me in 16 yrs either.
kempobrad 2 years ago
is this amp good for using pedal board systems such as my rp350? my line 6 spyder 3 15 doesnt let pedals work right... on clean it makes the pedal sound acousticy and on metal/overdrive the amp with the pedal sounds like shit... this amp isnt like that right? ive had many problems with my spyder...
ILoverguitars 2 years ago
The only distortion pedal I have is a Boss DS-1 and I don't use it with this amp, but it sounds fine with it. I use other effects such as chorus, delay, and wah with this amp and they sound great. The other effects on your rp350 will sound good, and I think the distortion will sound good also.
JTstratman13 2 years ago
your using a pedal right?

No I didn't use any pedals in this video.
