Very difficult, with the sound of these great find in a small transport friendly size, whether backstage to warm up before a gig, standing times immediately to test a sound idea or chord progression in the youth room of his parents' apartment or dorm room with neighbors or go somewhere or permanently in living room is before the idea again gone or advertised out of your head. If at the Marshall tube combo of the now extremely sought Milestone Bonamassa type as the compact in 2554 with 1x12 EV decades my standard for tube combos, then have it small and very inexpensive no-tubes-practice amp very hard.
Almost listless I was due to the small traders recommendation MG-15 CF approached looking for an amp that can sound different guitars and different no artificial digitally created unit provides sound, no matter which triggered.
Small Digitalamps are nice children's toys and magic out of nowhere a respectable sound wall, even in non-existent guitar arts and unclean handle. Small tube combos, just very fashionable, have only one sound and is only bearable if a proper guitar box is clamped.
This Marshall has excited me after a few minutes: clearly differentiated each guitar is recognizable and distinguishable sound, as long as one does not produce a very highly compressed Metalbrei. Time bright and pearly, warm and jazzy, dynamically playable with SC and HB PUs by different velocity or turn back the volume on the Git. And if necessary without turning to 1001 controller parameters a sustainreicher singing lead sound because, even with the rel. .! small 8 "Speaker WOW So much sound and tone volume was unthinkable to my youth for so little money in such a compact box: the sounds quiet good and even if the neighbors happy with a surprising free concert ;-)
The slightly more expensive amp with spring reverb is not worth it, the sound is undifferentiated and queasy. Better a versatile digital solution using not forget how this Marshall RF-1 Reflector effect and the 220V power supply!
Toll is the guitar frequency corrected headphone output that can be used as a line out to produce more if necessary steam and volume with an active speaker or amplifier or goes thus into the desk
A very clear buy recommendation with no ifs and buts: the sound will be hard to improve on!
