| | Decent and came FAST | 2020-04-29
Id say for what you pay for it, it's loud and pretty nice to look at too. Top amp for someone who just wants to chill and pmay im sure theres more technically but im just happy to have an amp againThe box was a bit knackered on one side, which isnt an issue just mentioning it as the actual product wasnt damaged and it came the day after ordering it without prime so cant complain really.
| | All good | 2020-04-20
Great amp. My first. So far all good used different guitars through it. All sound crisp and clear.

Great amp
| | I love it | 2020-02-18
First of all . Im not an expert on amps or guitar (I play banjo mostly which doesn't need an amp).Having said that this sounds great for the price . If you are a beginner I highly recommend . Great and I'll be playing a lot more guitar from now on !!!

Great little amp powerful for it,s size works well with my les Paul .delivered in a few days of order.
| | 10/10 - GREAT all around Versatile Amp and Effects | 2019-11-16
I own many amps big and small, and this really is the perfect all around amp. SOUND is great and versatile, from super shimmer chorus clean to to death metal massive overdrive, and everywhere in between. EFFECTS are great, versatile and super easy to program with single physical knob adjustments (no digital menus). Also nice to have separate reverb, chorus/flange, and delay knobs. All sound great. You can have a fantastic sweet distorted lead tone with some reverb, chorus and delay in a
| | Not good even for beginners | 2019-08-26
It doesn't feel like a sound of an amp it sounds like a regular speaker if you're a beginner don't waste your money on this
| | My favorite amp | 2019-07-22
My favorite brand Marshall . It’s perfect for studio apartment I like the way it woks and the solid sound
| | Why why why why why | 2019-04-03
Why this was sent with an American plug, I'll never know. 1 star because I now have to wait even longer and pay more money for an adapter. I'm sure it sounds great but products sold in the UK should really have UK power cables. Dumb.
| | Way to go Marshall | 2019-03-29
I got this for my brother, as far as I know it still works, and still plays music.
| | Nothing but problems | 2018-12-13
I continue to have problems with this amp. After 5-10 minutes of playing I lose volume and effects. I have to shut it off and then put it on again to get another 5-10 minutes of play.

| | Crunch and distortion are VERY heavy and distorted. | 2018-07-26
I was pretty excited to get this amp but, at least for my tastes, the overdrives and the crunch channel are waaaayyy too distorted. I’ve tried to adjust the settings, and I’m not very good at that, but I finally gave up. I compensated for this by keeping it on clean and using pedals. On top of this, it pops a lot when you turn it off and it picks up random static issues. To be fair, I can’t say for sure if it is the amp or something else. Put it in the closet and bought a Fender Super Champ X2.

Great practice amp. Loud, classic Marshall overdrive sound. Simple, no unnecessary bells and whistles. Love it.

Great sound, very loud on the high-end and all the features seem to work fine. I'm just learning guitar, so I'm not exactly sure what everything does. A friend recommended this amp and I'm glad he did. I couldn't be happier.
| | Great value for a combo amplifier! | 2018-03-26
I’ve owned this amp for almost 5 years. It’s perfect for small indoor rooms and for practicing. It takes pedals well and the headphone jack is Perfect for late night practice work. The Reverb is fine enough but I’m not overjoyed with the effects even though they’ll serve in a pinch. The overdrive built in is okay but won’t replace a great OD pedal. I like the amp series so much that I bought both the 10 watt version and the 100 watt head when I had the opportunity to pick them up used. The

I have been using Fenders for years. This is my first Marshall amp and it is amazing. This is what I would consider a practice amp but it could most likely be fine in a small room venue. No more Fenders for me. These are way cleaner.
| | Wow | 2018-03-13

Very pleased and arrived quickly
| | Amp sounds brilliant and i can't believe it's only 30w | 2018-01-06
Exceptionally gokd amp. Always been a Marshall man, havi g previously had valvestate series amps of various sizes.Since coming back to playing picked up this little beauty. Amp sounds brilliant and i can't believe it's only 30w.When it comes time to upgrage I'll certainly be looking to the larger amps in this same range.Delivered very quickly and well packaged by vendor. Very happy.
| | Dont know how it passed QC | 2017-11-10
Arrived with the bottom 2 prongs on the plug socket facing 30ish degrees upwards. It looked like it had come out of the factory like that (UK plugs are almost impossible to bend or displace, and these were firmly in place). Completely unusable, had to return it.
| | Really good amplifier, great sound with my telecaster | 2017-11-09
Really good amplifier, great sound with my telecaster, les paul & strat Couldn't be easier to get the perfect tone.

It was for my son and he loves it. Came next day and works perfect. Great sound, really crisp!
| | Marshall MG Series MG30CFX 30W | 2017-07-15
This was the perfect purchase for the home. I actually bought this to replace a larger amp that I had that was wearing out. For the price, this was a great buy and is just right for what I do playing in my spare time at home. I like the fact that it is simple in looks, but still has great sound and features. I was looking to get away from the digital features that was going bad in my previous amp, and this fits the bill.
| | Best amp i have ever played.. | 2017-06-08
I used to use a Fender Champion 300... i needed a replacement. Looked into this and did some research, and it is the best amp i have ever played. Its settings are extremely first class and the effects are solid. Pure, crisp and smooth tone. I use a Custom Strat with Dimarzio CrunchLab & LiquiFire Humbuckers. And a custom set pedalboard... all of these sound fantastic through this amp.. love it. Would recommend this to anyone wanting a Marshall amp...
| | Ideal für Gartenfeiern größeren ausmaßes | 2017-04-18
Habe den Marshall als Mobile Musikanlage gekauft um vor allem draußen einfach und schnell beschallen zu können.Früher musste immer erst die Musikanlage auf und abgebaut werden, den Marshall kann man einfach tragen und fertig.Leider kann über den 3.5mm Klinkeneingang der Klang nicht geregelt werden, das muss dann von der Abspielquelle erledigt werden, dafür einen Stern abzug.Habe den Verstärker auch bereits mit 12V Batterie und KFZ-Wechselrichter betrieben, funktioniert ebenfalls Tadellos.

This is my first electric amp and it sounds brilliant. The build quality is amazing and it is very aesthetically pleasing. Overall a solid amp for any household guitar player.

| | The MG30CFX 30 Watt Guitar Amp with Special Effects. | 2017-01-10
With as many as 8 different special effects to use, the combination of unique sounds from this MG30CFX amplifier is awesome. The headphone socket is 3.5mm so any pair of adaptorless phones will work well. I will recommend this amplifier to a beginner or more versatile artist.
| | Extremley poor quality while trying to play backing tracks through it | 2016-12-30
Alot wrong with this amp, including :Extremley poor quality while trying to play backing tracks through it, mediocre quality while playing guitar.Packed very poorly, no foam, no outer box, just came in the products box itself. Could have very easily been damaged and that's why it sounds so bad.The front input lead is extremely easy to pull out, offers no resistance and just slides out when your cord meets its max range.Brushed aluminium look on the front is IMPOSSIBLE to clean.Pros : It
| | Quality product at an affordable price | 2016-12-04
My amplifier arrived days earlier than stated, which i was very pleased with. What can i say, compared to my old amp, the sound quality and effects are excellent. My hammer ons are crystal clear now. Well worth the money.
| | Looks the part too. Rock and roll! | 2016-11-03
Great amp, for the reasons described by other reviewers. The 15W would probably have been fine for my purposes, but spending a few extra quid on the 30W means it looks like a proper amp - well, almost - rather than just a practice amp. The digital controls are quite complex, but you can just plug in, play and twiddle the knobs too. I did that for three days before even opening the instruction book. The delay effect is basic. As a delay fan, that might have been a reason to get the 50W, as that
| | Wonderful sound, great effects | 2016-09-07
I play a standard Stratorcaster, and had been using a Fender champion 20 amp for the past 10 years. I decided to try a Marshall and this amp gave my guitar a much warmer and less twangy sound than my old Fender amp. The effects are cool, and I find I use the clean and crunch settings more than the two overdrive settings. You can program these to sound however you like, but I use a pedalboard to control my sound.This is a great amp, plenty loud, and has a line-in jack so that you can play
| | Bang for your buck... Or pound in my case :-D | 2016-08-05
Good quality amp nice sound from the speaker and nice balanced sound... I have a Crush series Orange and I find it too bass heavy in sound and the speaker often farts, this isn't a problem with the Marshall. I only use the clean channel, as I think the distortion and effects are not that great (if you're a beginner than you probably won't notice but I certainly do). I use my MG30CFX with a Vox Stomplab and it really brings the amp to life (not to mention that the unit has a

Sorry put review of 15 watt one by mistake on another thread. I want to complain that this amp does not come with a foot switch, which is annoying. There is also nothing on here to buy or not that I know of. Why have switchable channels without a foot switch?

I ordered the gold version of this amp only to be sent this one without being asked before it was sent out. When I contacted fair deal music to ask if this was a mistake they told me they don't have the gold one anymore even thought they still had it advertised as in stock.As I said the amp is great looking and sounds amazing with a whole bunch of different effects but if you have any issues good luck with the customer service.

| | Kein echter Marshall | 2014-08-14
Ich spiele schon seit fast 25 Jahren Marshall (Röhren-)amps. Da ich einen günstigen Verstärker an einem Ort gesucht habe, wo ich mich eher selten aufhalte, habe ich mich blind für den MG30CFX entschieden. Aber um es kurz zu machen: er klingt überhaupt nicht nach Marshall, nicht ansatzweise. Eine Lärmmaschine ohne Bässe. Alles klingt wie durch einen Dynamik Kompressor gejagt. Brummen kann er aber mehr als jeder Röhrenverstärker.Selbst der Mini Marshall läßt den typischen Sound eines Marshall

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
