So many people criticise these amps, yet many professionals use them as warm up/ practice amps. I have owned and tried many amps over the years, but keep coming back to these. Fantastic little amps
ive got an amp just like it (mine may be just a bit older), but man do they rock for their size! Im wanting to get the newer ones that have the clean/dist/and 2 overdrives plus (if Im not mistaken) 4 presets. that would make this amp more versatile, but Im sure it still has that mean little Marshall tone! you play well by the way!
when trying to get a good tone, do i just need to fiddle around with the the bass, eq and treble until i find a tone i like because i don't know the first thing abaout it haha
@EuropeFactor had to cut out the hole, but i put a 12'' speaker from my 4x12 cab, that i replaced with eminence texas heat.noname speaker, but not bad for this lil guy.
@EuropeFactor i said i had to cut the hole out.so not without modification, no.my friend is selling his with an 8" speaker sony, way better than the stock speaker.if anyone is interested, message me.
@guitargod1598 Yes, just surprised it could take a 12'' as the speaker baffle is less then 11'' across. I know it can take a 10'' (also with modification)
@EuropeFactor maybe it was a ten, and the friend that did it for me is just a retard or lier.i had him do the mod, i thaught the old speakers from my cab were 12.12's dropped right in so..idk.
I had this amp and must say the gain on this thing was HORRIBLE !! sounded like a killerbeesnest in a trashcan !! so happy when i sold this piece of expensive junk !! Dont get fooled by the famous name on it , !!
I mainly watched this video to laugh at the people gawk at the sound of a 'Marshall' amp, and I was surprised the clean tone was pretty good, the fallback of all these SS amps is the distortion, pure fake.
@TOM71292 the dfx is an older model. there isnt a plain marshall mg15fx there is the cfx and that is just another color, being the 2011 model. its just age difference
There are better CHEAP amps. A Laney AOR, a Peavey Windsor, Crate Palomino, all smoke the ass of the MG. More expensive = better is not always true, but seems to be the case for Marshall amplification.
@SnakePitGuitar Quite frankly it's not a great amp most modeling amps aren't. The people who buy them like them because they never tried a real good (tube) amp. After a few months of playing you will hate the sound that your MG gives you.
@musiclover35 You like a digital solid state Marshall amp and you're calling me a retard. LOL buy a REAL tube amp and then tell me the Marshall is good.
@rocknroll4eva100 marshall mg100 dfx .... more power !! well it also depends on your guitar :P i think that gibson and esp would be the best combination
I decided to post this video, only as a further demonstration of what can be done with the Marshall MG15DFX. The Guitar and Mic I put through a mixer to the Amp. Guitar is Ibanez Artcore AS73, tones set to clean, and some reverb.
For those who want to say don't give up your day job, I agree, and I haven't.
I have this amp..but unfortunatly it doesn't have the digital effects....Marshall mg15cdr....But still great amp>>>Great sond...keep up the playing!!!!!!!!
I got this amp, it's decent, it's a great starter amp though, but you begin to notice all the little things in the tone that isn't quite right the longer you have it.
@Stratocaster21st1994 They're awefull. All solid state amps, including the Spider, Vipyr, Etc. They all blow regarding tone. (Not something they're made to do) If you're proud of your MG, you dunno nothin'
Hello, some of us have to drive second hand beetles, eat hot dogs, and dream about owning a good amp and quality guitar. the Marshall MG15DFX is probably the best amp you will find for the money, specially if you like to play it clean or with a little reverb. My only complaint was that the Line Out feed, well to call it dreadful would be a compliment.
I constantly hear people flaming the marshall mg amps. Well this video proves them wrong, the sound lies in the player. So if you have to buy a $2000 amp just to sound better, you must have sucked to begin with
The line out is used when you play in big concerts and you think your amp isn't loud enuf so you connect yours to another amp's input for more power :). but you get the same tone and sound of your amp
Wow! What an artist you are!!! The amp sounds superb too but you are the artist, the amp and guitar are just tools.. good tools but still tools. Hats off to ya! My guess is that you can make any guitar and amp sound amazing. NIce job!
I used to have this amp. It's pretty noisy; you definitely need a noise gate in there to take care of it. I ended up selling it and getting a Line 6 Tone Port UX1 for bedroom playing and it's much better than this.
@Razzle71 Lol, yeah but I have this amp and it sux balls. It worked fine one day and the next I have to use headphones because the 8" speaker isn't getting a juice. The 30DFX is a better model and would make every Metallica song sound godlike, lol :)
No effects loop. Sorry! Its one of the best sounding little practice amps I've heard. But it just good for practice in my opinion. Although it does have useful features.
I have this very amp, I play a Fender Mexi strat on this amp with distortion. My problem is that it buzzes like crap and makes these weird noises. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?? please reply.
Hey good job! Do you know how many watts it is?
