Members Steadfastly Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've been looking at this amp the last few days since it went on sale for $60.00. Has anyone played this or even heard it being played? I would appreciate your opinions. I need somthing small to use in my office just for practicing.

Members GAS Man Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Some of the reviews on those were purdy bad, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/marshall-mg2fx-2w-guitar-combo-amp?content=reviewsEXAMPLE: To start off whit this Marshall amp has a cheap Inferior input jack, And the gain control from 1 to 10 I would rate it a 2, And The mode control does not seem to work at all. Overall junk very poor quality control, For a Marshall Amp, You are better with a Pig nose amp its cheaper and sounds alot better with its one volume knob. but still, at $60 what do you have to lose? A much better little amp (although not battery powered) would be this Roland Cube 20X at $95 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Roland+-+CUBE+20X+20W+Guitar+Amplifier/8105686.p?skuId=8105686&productCategoryId=pcmcat151600050024&id=1218012522840&ci_src=11138&AID=10474050&PID=4003003&SID=hohl6nfr0ki0&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FRoland%2B-%2BCUBE%2B20X%2B20W%2BGuitar%2BAmplifier%2F8105686.p%3FskuId%3D8105686%26productCategoryId%3Dpcmcat151600050024%26id%3D1218012522840%26ci_src%3D11138&ref=39&CJPID=4003003&loc=01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steadfastly Posted December 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 but still, at $60 what do you have to lose? Yes, some were bad and some were good. That's why I was asking here if someone could give me a better review/opinion. I agree about the $60.00. If I don't like it, I could return it as well.

Members Ancient Mariner Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 It depends what you want, but it's never going to sound 'great' because it'll be made as cheaply as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tomh777 Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 You can find a Roland Micro cube all day long for 50 to 75 used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Okay, thanks guys, I'm going to get a Mustang I. I just bought a mustang I and it is a lot of fun. It came to 100 including tax, can't complain at all. The fuse software is fun to tinker with too. Superb cleans on the twin reverb setting and plenty of options for overdrive and distortion on the others. Good choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wagdog Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've seen used mustang 2's for 100 and 1's for 50 - much better amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
