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.
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?
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.
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.

Why do all modern Marshall amps sound the same to me?
Like overgained things...not meaty like the old heads and speakers

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