MG15GR 1x8" 15-watt Combo Amp with Reverb Review

Great Practice Amp

I've had a few amps but as I moved from a single family home eventually to a two bedroom condo I needed less power. I bought an Orange Crush 20RT which I liked but I wanted a Marshall sound. Even though this is solid state, it is plenty loud and versatile. Surprisingly it retains a good bottom end for only having an 8" speaker and 15 watts. When gain is cranked it still maintains… read more clarity. Simple layout with no need for computer wizardry. Just a very nice simple practice amp with reverb that, yep sounds like a Marshall. Clean channel is nice and warm. Very good for jazz sounds.

Great portable amp!

Great little amp. The reverb isn't too bad either. It's no twin reverb but for a small practice amp, I'm happy with it! It has a heavy gain and plenty loud for practice. Not the Marshall monster twin stack I often dream of, but I have no buyers remorse at all. Just what I wanted. Easy grab and go!

Perfect practice/ jam amp. Wide tonal range!!

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR!! I have a Vox AC4, and an Ampeg VT-22. Both wonderful amps with plenty of tonal range.but i Wanted something ( without tubes) that could have a clean tone and still be able to add reverb and overdrive. Awesome Amp, could not be happier. My wife loves the headphone output. Hopefully pic below can give a good idea of size.

Don't Listen To Critics; Try It Yourself

Compared several amps, and have also owned several in just about every price range and this one's definitely one of the best in its price range. I wanted something somewhat portable, yet not digital, and something that I can control the volume easily with. Tried an Orange Crush 35RT, but it sounds like complete mud unless you turn it way up. And it is stupid loud. That destroys… read more the purpose of it being a bedroom / practice amp. Many people talk trash about the Marshall MG series of amps, but I think those people are #1 misinformed and #2 just making assumptions because it's solid state. The versions of these MG amps with the built in digital effects do indeed sound like garbage, but the ones without are fully analog, and they sound GREAT, especially for what they are. Yes it is a solid state.... What do you expect? This amp is quite flexible. You'll be surprised at the range of sounds you can get simply by tweaking the EQ. I love the on the edge of breakup sounds it can get as well as the twang. If you reduce all of the EQ settings you can actually raise the volume without blowing the windows out. Last but not least, every guitar I own (I have 8) sounds completely different from each other through this, which is something that is often not very common with amps like these. The only amp in the price range that I could say gives the MG15 a run for its money I'd say would be a Micro Cube.
