"Let's Be Realistic!"
Feature:This cabinet has a nice compact size for easy transportation. There's only 1 small thing that I was not impressed with. The fact that there's only 1 mono plug in the back strictly for 8 ohm load.
Quality:
It has diminished qualities to fit in the price range. Cheaper wiring, lower-quality drivers, smaller internal volume size, etc. All these affect the "high quality sound" that's expected. The cabinet looks decent. Marshall has been very highly reputable for countless years. I personally think this cabinet is an excellent value with satisfactory sound. Not perfect, nor top-notch, but you get what you pay for.
Value:
I feel the pricing is fair for the quality of the cabinet.
Desirability:
Looks like typical Marshall. Elephant vinyl, particle board, speakers, scripted Marshall logo on the front. I like it!
Sound:
The first thing people need to understand...This is obviously not a high-end cabinet. I own one of these and use it as a practice cab. I have 2 top-of-the-line Marshall cabinets, the 1960AV and 1960BV cabinets - Full stack. Honestly, side-by-side at both low and high volumes on a Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 head, the only noticeable difference was an average loss of efficiency and less bass response. I bought the straight-cab version for more bass response. The slant cab will distort/make muddy sound ONLY because of driver compression and the compromised internal volume. Versus the AV/BV that I paid a little under a grand for, EACH...No one can expect the same "Celestion Vintage 30 tone" from a bottom-of-the-line cabinet.
Ease of Use:
Fairly simple, it's a guitar cabinet. You get an amplifier, plug it in, no mechanical inclination needed here! ;)
Support:
Haven't had to yet. Hopefully won't have to, ever!
Overall:
It suffices as a practice cabinet, as I was looking for something lower-priced and high-quality wasn't a necessity for it's use.

"Marshall: Never Again For Me"
Feature:It's a speaker cabinet. Nothing else there.
Quality:
Very poor manufacturing quality. The construction is very cheesy. The grill cloth has places where it wasn't fastened very well. there are dents in the cabinet. No, the dents were cause by shipping, the shipping container showed no signs of damage.
Value:
I don't like it, maybe others would. The price is cheap; 300 bucks but I wouldn't buy this again.
Desirability:
Looked pretty crummy right out of the box.
Sound:
Very harsh tone. I don't know the frequency response spec but but has a lot of high end distortion when playing with overdrive. Very unappealing sound.
Support:
Haven't dealt with them directly, Their websight is pretty poor, though. The only mention of an MG412B is in a price list and that it goes with an MG head. No specs at all.
Overall:
I've had it for about 2 weeks and I'm already thinking it's e-bay time for this thing.
