"The Chevy of Amps."

Feature:
Its a pretty basic amp only 4 knobs on it. clean volume, gain,overdrive volume, and tone.

Quality:
Very dependable, excellently built no problems with it structurally, or cosmetically after 6 years just some dust.

Value:
Its the most expensive 10 watt non bass amp I've ever seen, but it lasts.

Desirability:
Its very classy all black except the gold control panel and the white Marshall logo. Very distinguishable.

Sound:
The clean setting gets crunchy if you have it past 6, and the overdrive is heavy metal at almost any setting but i have my acoustic guitar with a pickup on it and its as clean as can be on 10 and it has classic rock distortion(it could be the pickups on my electric)?

Ease of Use:
Like I said above only 4 knobs and a power button.

Support:
Never had to call them (and that should be a good thing.)

Overall:
Its ok for the sound quality for classic rock and classical, but is perfect for heavy metalists. Its lasted me 6 years and will definitely last me another 6 more.

"Great for starters! What can I say, its a marshall!!"

Feature:
Great. What more can I say? Came with a booklet to show what sounds you can make.

Quality:
Never had a single problem with it and never broke down.

Value:
Great for the money and it is a Marshall, one of the famous guitar amp brands of all time.

Desirability:
Sexy, small, and sleek. Good for transportation.

Sound:
Very good for such a small amp. Excellent for starters or just playing in a house. Clean and Overdrive are fine and can be better with the help of one or two effects pedals.

Ease of Use:
Very good for starting out, was my first amp.

Support:
Never dealt with them

Overall:
GReat amp for starting out or needing it on the go!

"Perfect Beginner Amp"

Feature:
It's an entry level amp so it has no built-in effects, but fully customizable amounts of gain and tone are very welcome. In addition to configuring a clean setting with the distortion knobs, it comes with a toggle to go into a standard clean mode. Both distorted and acoustic modes have seperate volume knobs. Comes with 1/4 inch headphone and CD player jacks as well.

Quality:
It's a Marshall, and despite only being $70 you get much more than you pay for. Top quality, entry level amp.

Value:
Worth much more than $70 and sounds way better than any standard 10 watt amp. The perfect entry level amplifier.

Desirability:
Gold on noir, this amp's too cool for school.

Sound:
It sounds pretty nice. Has a clean and overdrive mode, with gain and tone toggles for the distortion. You can mess around with the knobs to find a setting that suits you, and for 10 watts this thing is pretty clear.

Support:
The best support is that which isn't needed, but it comes with a full warranty should you need to go that route.

Overall:
I'm very satisfied with my amp and would recommend it to any guitarist starting out and any pro looking for an easy-to-haul amp on the road before a show.

"The Little Amp That Could"

Feature:
Pretty basic, but does the job, clean and dirty. I believe, reverb would have been a nice feature.

Quality:
Solid and tough cabinet, flawless quality.

Value:
By far the best small amp in its class. Nothing comes close.

Desirability:
Hey its a Marshall need I say more.

Sound:
Depending on the quitar used this amp will give a clean warm tone in the clean setting using a Les Paul Custom as well the dirt needed to satify. When using a Statocaster the sound is a little more tinny that is expected from a Strat. All in all, this amp is capable of the "Marshall Sound". For it's size this thing is Loud!

Support:
Not needed yet.

Overall:
Don't let the small size fool you. The quality and sound make this a keeper for many years to come. Great quitars sound great with this amp. If it were lost or stolen I would miss it.

"A MUST HAVE FOR A PRACTICE AMP!"

Feature:
Its got 2 channels, which is all that is needed for a practice amp, but it also goes into a CRUNCH mode halfway up the volume knob on the Clean Channel, i love that kick, and the best part is the FDD, this is the first amp ive used since the ive test played the MG100 Full Stack that had a good sound for the buck

Quality:
great stuff, one of the best sounding, and looking amps out there for a practice amp and for a starting amp

Value:
THE BANG FOR THE BUCK, A MUST HAVE IF U WANT A SERIOUS AMP JUST TO PRACTICE WITH

Desirability:
ITS A MARSHALL, NOUGH SAID!

Sound:
this amp, was the exact practice amp i was looking for, i had been useing a CRATE for a while and wasnt too happy with it, so i went to the name all guitarists know and trust MARSHALL!

Support:
havent had to use Tech support yet =)

Overall:
CHEERS to the team at marshall, they hit the nail on the head, i love this amp and are seriously looking into the rest of the MG series, possibly even into Marshall's AVT serious, but this amp is the the destroyer of all other "tweeker" pratice amps on the market
