"LAY DOWN THE MARSHALL LAW WITH THIS AMP AND TAKE YOUR METAL AND ROCK TO A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL!!!!!"

Feature:
it includes a clean/crunch and dfx footswitch.

Quality:
it seems to be built well if it ever took a crap on me i would repair it and make it even better because thats just what i do. alot of people complain about the cooling fan in back making ALOT of noise i turned it on for the first time and barely noticed it at all. besides if your marshall is on more than a minute and you still hear the fan you obviously are NOT ROCKING OUT!!!!!!!!!

Value:
great value for the working man if you want a bigger sound which i didnt need go pay the extra $130 and buy the half stack version it might even sound better with the celestion speakers instead of a single eminence.

Desirability:
everyone whos seen a marshall in person knows of that sex appeal if youve never owned one buy one and you will know the MARSHALL LAW.

Sound:
with an EQ and a noise surpressor connected it's sound capabilities range from metallica's Kill EM' All to new school metalcore and thrash.

Ease of Use:
i was running a metal master pedal since i didnt need it anymore things have been made alot simpler. other than that it shouldnt take more than a minute to get the sound that you seek.

Support:
havent needed it, hope i dont.

Overall:
current setup E.S.P./L.T.D. AX400 with dual EMG 81 active pickups. this marshall amp and a noise surpressor, boss looper/layerer, 7 band EQ, and the ibanez weaping demon wah pedal. i have only ONE PROBLEM with this amp and i think it may be fixable easily if you want to play silent just jacking the headphones in front is not enough it still eminates half the sound through the speaker if you read the manual it tells you to adjust the clean channel gain and the overdrive channel volume but i have not gotten it to go completely silent and because of that it seems to have all the sound quality as if it were coming through the speaker but is very quite on the headphones. hope to fix that soon.

"The MG100DFX rocks!"

Feature:
The built in digital effects are great. they are high quality sounding effects. the reverb is also nice. but the included footswitch doesnt have reverb on it, which can get annoying and embarrasing during a gig.

Quality:
This is one of the most durable amps i have ever used. my friends have dropped, thrown, and beaten this amp, and it sounds like when i first got it out of the package.

Value:
this is a great value, it has the great marshall sound, at an affordable price.

Desirability:
its a nice looking amp. if i lost this one, i would buy it all over again.

Sound:
This thing has killer sound. This sound is unbeatable for the price. the FDD is a great effect. although, the fan can get a little noisy.

Ease of Use:
very simple, no complications.

Support:
havent needed it.

Overall:
great amp, great price, great company. that is it.

"Great little 100 watt Marshall at a great price."

Feature:
Good selection of features, especially the external effects loop I/O (for those who want more than just the on-board effects this amp has to offer).

Quality:
I'm giving Marshall an 8 on this one. The amp appears to be built solid enough but I've read many people complain about the fan noise for a minute or two after you first start it. My amp is no different, it has the same fan noise everyone is squaking about and Marshall calls this normal?!?! Marshall can do some incredible things with their amps but can't find a functional and quiet fan even after all the complaints? Good thing the local computer store sells cooling fans that ARE quiet when you turn them on.

Value:
Overall this amp is a great value. It's not a pro level amp but you're also not paying the thousands of dollars for a pro level amp.

Desirability:
I guess the desirability is there. I mean, I STILl bought the amp even after reading all the feedback about the noisy fan.

Sound:
It's a Marshall and it sounds like a Marshall. Unless you're Eric Clapton or Eddie Van Halen, you should be happy with the sound. I has plenty of volume to drive the neighbors nutso. This amp is capable of annoying just about everyone on the block. ;o)

Ease of Use:
Plug in a guitar, turn it on, adjust the amp to the sound you like. It's that simple.

Support:
Haven't needed them, but if they choose to ignore the fan noise problem, then they can't be all that good in my opinion. So I think I'll give them a 5. :o(

Overall:
I'll give them a 9 overall. Had Masrshall addressed and resolved the fan noise problem, I would have given them a 10. Overall, this is a great little amp and priced right. I expect to be happy with this amp for a long time to come.

"Great amp won't change until i get the marshall100Hdfx with cab"

Feature:
It has 4 effects crunch and 2 od's the effects are great for clen guitar players a bit wak in od.

Quality:
Sturdy amp. All in put screws well on unlike other amps.

Value:
100 watts it says marshall on its not a valve amp but still has the great sound and power for 250 quid!

Desirability:
Might be a budget marshall but the guitar can make a differance as well so if you have this and a guitar above the price of the amp it will sound almost exactly the same.

Sound:
The clean sound is great

Support:
never had any
