Marshall MS2 Micro Amp - Black

i recieved this within 3 days of order, nice that a 9V battery was included! fast shipping, well packaged! I suggest you use a 9V re-chargeable battery because the amp uses up the battery really quickly. Review: Seriously, this is a really loud amp. I thought i willl hear my accoustic sound of strumming when im plugged in but no, it is so loud that you cannot hear your strumming.Just in the amp! :D , A)CLEAN Channel: if the tone is the minimum, and volume is maximum, the amp is quiet, but this set is the best to use in your flat, room for practise, believe me the next to sets will be so loud :D B)Clean channel: Volume full up, tone full up, the amp is now loud and the neighbours MIGHT come over if you keep playing. ok. THE A)OVERDRIVE CHANNEL: tone minimum, volume max, good overdriven sound it is loud, but not as loud as OD Channel B): tone max, vol. max, and the neighbours will definitely come over if you keep playing on that channel!!!:D The last one is the best od sound you can get out of the amp, altough you WILL ALWAYS have to turn the volume MAX to get a good crunchy Marshall OD sound!!!and that means you cannot play in the evening :(. YOu can use headphones! Headphone input, note you need a 6.35 mm jack end headphone to plug in the amp(same size as the guitars jack). Adaptors not included, i had my own that i bought with a ZOOM FX pedal, so i always use it with an adaptor. and take it to school with batteries. but take 2 batteries in case 1 'dies' :D GREAT LITTLE AMP!!! BUY IT!

This amp will never be your main amp - it's not designed to be. It's meant as a portable way of taking your electric guitar to places where you wouldn't be able to lug your gigging set-up. I teach guitar for a living & this is perfect for when I need to go into schools & such like. I also do a regular slot playing guitar live on a local radio show, for which this amp is perfect. Its volume is on the same kind of scale as a big dreadnought acoustic guitar bashing out the decibels - no problem being heard. I play a strat with a HSS pickup layout, so I tend to leave the amp on it's OD setting all the time. If I use the neck (single coil) p/u with the guitar volume at around 5-6, I get a very usable clean sound - good for strumming & general accompaniment. Wind up the guitar volume pot to 10 & you've got a usable SRV style crunch. Flick to the bridge humbucker for Kinks-style raspy distortion (think "You Really Got Me"). There is a nice "touch sensitivity" when playing through this amp - you get the sense that someone at Marshall was involved in the way it sounds, rather than just slapping their badge onto a generic product. It does have a quite "Marshally" sound, albeit within the context of what a 3" speaker is able to deliver. For twenty quid, you can't really do any better at taking your guitar out & about - even a cheap acoustic is going to cost at least double that AND you have to put up with playing a cheap guitar. This little beauty allows you to take your favourite electric plank anywhere you like - you can even use headphones with it too. It would have been nice to have an input for an mp3 player so you could jam along with backing tracks, but as I said, for 20 quid, it's still a bargain!

I personally am an amateur guitarist. I wanted to learn playing the electric guitar, so with a bit of research I can make a firm statement that this wasn't a waste of money. The sound coming out of the built in diaphgram is good enough if you want to play in your room. It will also suffice for playing in a small group. There is a headphone jack that can be used to output the sound to headphones or even a mixer. I think that this is a very useful feature if you want to record some tunes that you play on a computer. I have not had any other amplifiers in the past but based on the sound that I hear coming out of the speaker, I can say that you will be able to play almost any tune that you can think of and it will sound really good. I am using this amp for a Yamaha pacifica 012. The guitar has four different pick ups and the amp does really well in producing different sounding tones when switching the input from pick up to pick up. Only reason I give it four stars is because I feel like they should have added a built in lithium-ion rechargeable battery which would have made the product perfect.

I've been playing guitar on-and-off for the last 15 years at somewhere between a beginner and an intermediate level (It's just a casual hobby for me and something to-do alongside my other interests). I've had other larger and more expensive amplifiers over the years, and I'm very surprised how well the Marshal MS2 holds up despite its size, and its affordability. Build quality-wise, the amp feels adequately built for the price. It is very light, and the housing feels a bit plasticky, but the dials and various ports (the bit that matter) feel well-made. The sound quality, however, is incredible; it's difficult to really articulate how good it is with words, so I'd recommend looking at some demonstration videos online. The clarity on the clean mode is superb. I'm not the biggest fan of the overdrive mode as I'd much rather use a dedicated effects pedal (more versatility), but it is nice that it is included. Despite some of the drawbacks I have listed, I cannot overstate how good this sounds and performs for its price point. It is very affordable, very portable, and I will be using this as my go-to amp for the time being. Update (October 2024): I eventually parted ways with this mini amp, after receiving another larger amp, and then eventually moving exclusively to a classical acoustic guitar. I still would strongly recommend this amp, especially if you are on a budget. It is miles better than some of the budget amps I was using way back when.

Good mini Marshall amplifier. Good clean sound but bad dist sound. If you plug in a Zoom 707 effect pedal, that amp sounds good.

Ich brauchte einen kleinen Amp zum üben zu Hause, wollte jedoch nicht viel zu viel ausgeben, da ich letzendlich noch ein Anfänger bin. Dann habe ich den MS-2 von Marshall gefunden. Für weniger als 30€ bekommt man eine Box, die etwa so groß ist wie 2 aktuelle Smartphones nebeneinander. Marshall hat versucht, den Look und Feel von den größeren Brüdern, die man meistens auf der Bühne während Konzerten sieht, zu behalten. Ich würde sagen, dass das ihnen prima gelungen ist: der eigentliche Lautsprecher ist mit schwarzem Textil-Material bedeckt auf dem der Marshall-Logo geklebt ist. Die Knöpfe sind aus einem wertigen Material und sind leicht zu drehen, ohne billig zu wirken. Also von der Verarbeitungsqualität her ist der kleine Marshall top. Die 1 Watt Ausgangsleistung schien mir Anfangs wenig zu sein, aber nach einigen Stunden habe ich festgestellt, dass sie fürs üben Zimmer völlig ausreicht. Der Amp ist also laut genug. Wenn man jedoch nicht seine Mitbewohner stören möchte, gibt es einen Klinkenausgang für Kopfhörer - leider nicht als 3.5mm (Standard-) Jack, sondern als 6.35mm (Instrument-) Jack. Da bräuchte man also ein Adapter für, die sind jedoch ziemlich billig. Das einzige was mich hier stört (zumindest bei meinem Produkt) ist, dass er unangenehm bei hoher Lautstärke auf fast jeder Oberfläche vibriert - das kann man nur so lösen, wenn man ihn auf einem Teppich legt oder etwas ähnliches. Ich benutze ihn nie auf voller Lautstärke (weil er für mich dann zu laut wird) - deshalb kein Sternabzug. Es gibt 2 Modi zwischen denen man mithilfe des Power-Buttons schalten kann: Clean (ON) und Overdrive (OD). Es gibt nichts besonderes zum Clean Modus. Ich bin jedoch vom OD Modus begeistert - besonders bei meinem Fender Stratocaster HSS - Das rockt einfach ganz wild. Der MS-2 kommt mit einer 9V Batterie (keine wiederaufladbare), kann aber mit einem 9V power adapter (nicht mitgeliefert) ans Strom angeschlossen werden, jedoch finde ich, dass das ziemlich unnötig ist, da der MS-2 wegen der "Größe" eingentlich als tragbarer Amp benutzt werden sollte. Also für die 30€ gibt's wenig zu meckern zum MS-2. Die Verarbeitung ist einfach top, Lautstärke und Klang trotz der Größe gut. Besonders zum Üben sehr gut geeignet, wegen der Tragbarkeit wahrscheinlich auch für kleine Straßenauftritte angemessen (jedoch von mir nicht so getestet).

Som melhor que o esperado... Excelente pra estudar...

Ho acquistato il Marshall MS-2 come regalo per un chitarrista ed è stata la scelta giusta. È uno di quei prodotti che, appena lo vedi, colpisce subito per il design iconico in stile Marshall, curato nei dettagli (è presente anche una maniglia finta) ma in miniatura. Dal punto di vista del suono, mi ha stupito: considerando le dimensioni ridotte, riesce comunque a offrire una resa più che soddisfacente. Ovviamente non ci si può aspettare la potenza di un amplificatore da palco, ma per esercitarsi o suonare in casa è più che adeguato. È anche molto semplice da usare, praticamente immediato, senza bisogno di smanettare troppo. Un altro punto a favore è la compattezza: è leggerissimo, poco ingombrante e si può portare ovunque senza problemi, grazie anche ad una clip in ferro che permette di fissarla persino alla cintura dei pantaloni. Comoda anche la possibilità di utilizzare un alimentatore esterno (anche se va acquistato a parte), che lo rende più versatile rispetto al solo uso a batterie (1 pila da 9v non inclusa). Se proprio devo trovare un difetto, è legato proprio all’alimentazione: con delle batterie ricaricabili integrate sarebbe stato davvero perfetto, probabilmente da sei stelle. Così com’è, però, resta comunque un prodotto eccellente per il prezzo a cui viene venduto. In definitiva, lo ricomprerei senza pensarci due volte. Ottima idea regalo e soluzione pratica per chi cerca qualcosa di semplice, compatto e con un buon suono.

音も値段の割によく出るし、使いやすい。
