Opinions on Marshall MG's

[Rock Monster]

hey everyone. I'd like to hear about any experiences with the Marshall MG series. I'll probably be getting either a MG15MSII Micro Stack, an MG250DFX or an MG100DFX and i'm definitely going to try them out, but even so... which one would you recommend getting or not getting.

None, I haven't heard anything good from them, but I never tried them out so I can't give an opinion
BUT for the same price you could get a tube Peavey Valveking which I am sure will sound better

Your choice on it.

i just went this past weekend and tried all the top or the line marshalls. i did not like any of them at the volume levels i will be playing at. but the ones i was playing were the tube type, which i think the mg's are solid state. but i may be wrong. i know the mg half stack was just on sale for 499 last week at guitar center. but i didnt get a chance to play on it.

The MGs are solid state

They have a very distinct and imo unnatural sound. I primarily play covers so it was a nightmare for me. I suppose it could be good for originals if you like the tone (crazy?) but for most folks its not going to be the best choice for the money.

Hi i have a MG100HDFX(head) and my friend has a MG100DFX . I think it sounds quite good actually . You should go for it we had no problem with them

Thanks everyone... i'm going to get a solid state, and it will ultimately come down to which one i like better testing in the shop... and that will probably come down to the Marshall MG's or Line 6 Spider III's. Thanks again.
