MA Performance

[mjr2470]

I own an MA 100 and if your going to pedal it up, it has an awsome clean channel, You can re- tube it for less than 200 dollars and put JJ or GT el 34 tubes and the crunch channel will work much better. I was kicking around a Bugera 1990 and bought the marshall instead. without pedals, the Bugera is a better choice for the money.

Why do all modern Marshall amps sound the same to me?

Like overgained things...not meaty like the old heads and speakers

[tri00azerath]

i think the MA series is awesum, finially an affordible toober and if u can get the 50 watt amp head and the A speaker cabanent for only about a grand i think its affordible... just wondering what otehr peoples opinions are?

[thasuperdutchman]

[JulianAhlers]

[bamimaninja]

Just wondering other peoples opinions.

Sick solo!:)

[spawnofwheezedog]

Um, what's supposed to be the lure of this series?

[colmonic]

Cheap, I think probably trying to compete with the peavey valve king stuff. Maybe even Bugera...?

[rickyjshiznit]

@colmonic itd be hard to compete with bugera in terms of baong for your buck. the 6262 is an amazing amp for $550

[kickcableguyinnuts]

a lot of companies are making cheaper amps that still sound decent. ceriatone is making good marshall style amps handwired for cheap. if marshall didnt do something theyd be missing a huge chunk of the amp market because most people can not afford a 1,500 dollars or 2k and a guitar worthy of putting through it on top of that much less the pedals and whatever some players think they need. its a way of competing without cutting corners on the models they already make to lower price and compete.

its the cheapest all valve marshall stack and essentially has three channels including a pretty decent clean which is unusual for marshall. its not tryin to be the jcm 800 or dsl of the marshall range buts its a great choice for an intermediate or above guitarist to get their hands on their first valve stack.
