MGR/Billy « Marshall MS-2 Micro Amp »
Published on 12/12/10 at 15:00This is the miniature pocket amp version of a Marshall halfstack. Half top, half useful. You can power it with an AC plug or a 9 volt battery. Also features a belt loop in case you wanted to rock out on the go.
Knobs are Clean or Overdrive switch, Volume and Tone.
I read that Dave Grohl used one of these on the first Foo Fighters record for layering guitars. No kidding, it works great! Throw a 57 over it and it can really add to the mix.
I believe I paid about $40 for one in a music shop.
The overdrive is fun. A bit thin, but hey what do you really expect out of a 1' speaker?
I also enjoy the looks I get from people when I tell them I use one to track guitars in a studio with!
It is cheaply made. I dropped it about 3 feet onto carpet and it broke. The input jack is soldered directly to the internal PC board and that is what came undone. I had to take out about a million unnecessary screws to dis and reassemble this beast.
Cheap, see above.
Fun amp that can be useful to get a different tone. Well worth $40. It will also work as a nice headphone amp.
