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.

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

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!

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.

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?

[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!

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

@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.

Weak

@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.

@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.

[ProdigyGuitarPlayer]

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

[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.

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