I been around for almost 25 years Marshall games (tube) amps. Since I was looking for a cheap amplifier in a place where I am rarely staying, I decided for the blind MG30CFX. But to make it short, he does not sound like Marshall, not rudimentary. A noise machine without bass. Everything sounds like chased by a dynamic compressor. He can hum but more than any tube amp. Even the mini-Marshall leaves out the typical sound of a Marshall. This does not amp. Only the many setting possibilities are awesome, even if the operation is quite used to, as the default setting keeps the channel configuration, so that the regulator does not necessarily reflect the setting. This can be changed but ... For the sound he has 0 star deserves, for the setting possibilities I give him 2 a look for something better to !!!
