    I spent a good couple of months searching for my first amplifier, and came around to narrowing my field down to a Roland Cube 30, Line 6 Spider 30 or the Marshall MG 30DFX. It ended up costing around $420 Australian Dollars from Turramurra Music in Sydney, around $50 more than the other two amplifiers.

    (The parentals had a small thing about me getting a bigger amp)

    The MG 30 DFX has brilliant tone on the clean channel. Playing an ESP Ltd EC-300 with EMG-HZ passives through the amp, I can gain a wide range of tones from a bluesy sound to a near perfect acoustic tone.

    The MG 30 DFX has brilliant tone on the clean channel. Playing an ESP Ltd EC-300 with EMG-HZ passives through the amp, I can gain a wide range of tones from a bluesy sound to a near perfect acoustic tone.

    The four effects: reverb, chorus, flange and delay, work well considering the MG 30DFX is nothing more than a small practice amp. But, if you're serious buy some decent pedals - they'll sound a whole lot better.

    For a thirty-watter the MG 30DFX delivers fair volume, but unfortunately it still won't get you over a drumkit.

    I occassionally get a rattling noise if I've been playing for too long.

    The overdrive can sometimes, also, be too "gainy". That is, the distortion compromises the various notes you want to hear. Great if you want to practice heavier Nu-Metal tunes (eg Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc), but I tend to turn the gain right down to "3" for Metallica, Velvet Revolver and the such.

    The amp doesn't come with a footswitch either, even though it has the plug. Means leaning over to press teh channel button every time, which can get irritating.

    The body of the amplifier is built to take a fair beating, as are the controls and plugs. However, if you to really kick around your amp I'd go a roland cube, just because they're so much heavier duty.


    Good practice amp for someone playing harder rock to all-out metal. Nice, bodied, clean sound too; which is good for a blues or jazz sound, or even for rock.

    A great practice amp for electric beginners, but not for those with more experience.

    Got it for $250 at Guitar center
    needed a practice amp,

    I LIke playing with the built in fx(reverb'delay'chorus'flange). Its distortion is over the top. The sound of htis amp is better than any other marshall in the MG series.

    This amp should come with an included footswitch since it has a footswitch input on the front panel

    Very well made, will last about 5- 10 years before going back to a shop for repairs

    This amp kicks ass and blows any other amp in this price range out of the water.

    Just like everything else I own, I bought this from Mucisian's Friend vis the internet. I coughed up $250 for this amp to go along with my newly aquired Epiphone Elite Les Paul Standard.

    First of all the amp looks great. It also doesn't hurt that the Marshall name is so prominenty displayed in white letters on the black background but that's not why I bought it. I must have read hundreds of reviews on small amps and practice amps before I found a consensus on one that sounds good, has great capability and doesn't cost a fortune. So I bought it and I love it. It's small, powerful and loaded with effects like reverb, chorus, delay and flange. I love to plug my CD player into it and jam along…

    After six months of use I haven't found anything wrong with mine yet. I use it almost every day and it always delivers.

    Although I haven't done anything like take this amp on tour or run over it with a truck, it does feel very sturdy. I do accidently bang it arround once in a while but it doesn't have a mark on it and looks and feels like quality stuff. I get no noise, feedback, pops, hiss or anything but what I want from the sound. All the knobs and switches work well and feel smooth all the way through their range. I tell it the same thing my wife tells me, "You're a great piece of work"!

    Wonderful little amp for practicing or intimate performances. The price belies what you can expect from this little honey. It may be the best $250 investment I ever made.

    this amp is great quality and has great sound. it allows you to get a bright clean tone and also good distortion. the built in effects are cool because it allows you to stretch beyond the bondries of a normal amp and use effects to improve your sound.oh and its LOUD.

    built strong, i lug it around with me and so far no damage has been done so that is always a plus haha

    overall this is a great amp for the beginner and the advanced. it has great sound and is reliable. and of course it sure doesnt lack ability to be loud.

    Bought this amp for a Christmas present for myself at Guitar Center for $249.

    Good sound for a small amp and the built in effects are slick.

    After two weeks the sound starting cutting out. It would happen sporadically but seemed to get worse over time. Took it back to guitar center and was told that I wasn't the first one to have this problem. The salesman said that there have been some chronic problems with the MG line. Rather than take a chance on another low end Marshall I traded it for another brand.

    The amp is well built and looks good. Too bad the reliability is so poor.

    I bought this Amplifier because i needed an Amp that was portable yet loud.

    I liked the Marshall MG30DFX because it had Reverb, Chorus, Flange,

    It's a MARSHALL there isnt anything to hate about it.

    The amp is built very well and is very strong. it weighs 28 lbs.

    Overall the amp is better than whatever the hell u own right now. Because if you have a tube amplifier you are a lucky son of a bitch.

    I bought my mg30 dfx from a local store. The number of futures, the high quality sound and the solid structure, is the reasons that I bought this great piece. Nice price for the futures, 285 Euros

    I want good sound, and mg30dfx is the amp that gives it. The overdrive channel creates a tube feeling especially with the fdd (Marshall's technology that emulates a valve amp). You can use it for blues with crunchy OD (low gain) or for metal with high "gained" OD. It's NOT dull because of the very good Marshall speaker.

The digital effects are all of good use, and you can hear them in lot of metal, and blues songs. The OD hiss level that it produces is very low even with simple coil, but with good humbucker you got that we call... silence.

    A Marshall is a Marshall. You'll like everything on this amp especially if you exeprienced problems with other crappy amplifiers. Although I noticed a buzzing at volumes 5-10 with bass at 10 playing palm riffs. This buzzing comes from the front net-cover which trembles due to the air rumbling that comes form the speaker and produces this buzzing. The net-cover should be made of hard cloth not from plastic :/

    Heavy structure gives you the feeling that it can last everything. Although some parts that should be made of steel are plastic lowering the price paid. Sound quality is not affected though. You can say that it's well made and can last many things. But the net-cover matterial SHOULD be less buzzing.

    A nice amp that you're gonna like.

    I paid £139 from Wavelength Music Sheffield.
    I bought it because the sounded better than the others in its price range.

    The sound is fantastic. Because of its lack of valves there is no background noise at all. I don't use this live I use it for recording so 30 Watts is plenty enough.
    PS. The digital effect gives you the warmth of valves without any of the hassle.
    The clean channel is very clean and the overdrive channel is typical Marshall.
    The digital effects sound great; reverb, echo, chorus and flanger.

    Although the Digital FX control is easy to use there's a great deal of control, having said that it still gets excellent results.

    The setup means you can only actually use one effect at a time, i.e. you can't use chorus with reverb or echo.

    The construction quality is top notch.


    This is everything you'd expect from a great sounding Marshall Amp, excep the price that is.

    I bought this amp at a local music shop at the price of £140 (I don't know in dollars). Basically I needed an amp that would be a step up from my "Starter Pack" amp. I went with this amp as it was affordable and it had that shining Marshall logo plastered on the front of it.

    This is an excellent affordable combo amp. I won't use all the technical jargon (it certainly confused me when I was looking for a new amp) and instead talk in simple English. Its loud and allows the user to create a wide range of tones. There are two channels, clean (normal playing) and overide (ROCK SUPERSTAR!!!). The digital effects (flange,chorus,delay and reverb) are really fun to muck about with and can gi…

    The only bad things are the weight (can be cumbersome when moving about) and the fact that it makes you want to play your guitar until your fingers bleed.

    The amp is as solid as a rock. It's great just to look at. Its a Marshall....NUFF SAID.

    If your making a step up from begginer, this amp will give you the versatiliy and punch that you've been longing for. You could spend hours fiddling about with knobs finally getting that song you've practiced sounding the way it should. Its a gem!!!

    I bought this amp from Haworth Guitars in Kiama N.S.W (Australia). I paid $460 for it, and its list price is $540 (or something like that). I got a good deal becaus I bought an Ibanez RG270 aswell.

    This amp shreds! everything about it is awesome. there are 2 channels, built in effects and a whole lot more (read other reviews). I love the overdrive channel, it sounds awesome. I play alot of Metal, (Metallica, Pantera, Sepultura etc.) and the distortion suits this perfect. Also i like to just fiddle around with some blues lead, so i just change the settings a little and there you go, a perfect blues distortion. The clean channel is great aswell. If you know the song 'Cemetary Gates' by Pant…

If you know the song 'Cemetary Gates' by Pantera, you can just put the clean channel on, kick in the chorus effect and play the intro, then kick in the distortion and shred till your arm falls off. This amp keeps you entertained for hours, and in my opinion, the 30watts is plenty.

    There isnt much i dont like about this amp....all i have to do really is get used to using an amp (settings etc.) because ive been playing an ibanez acoustic. (this is my first amp and electric). Oh....the amp doesnt come with a footswitch, that sort of sucks, and also you can only use 1 effect at a time.. oh by the way, i dont think i mentioned the effects (chorus, reverb, flange and delay). one other thing, there is no Master Volume, their are only seperate ones for each channel.

    The construction is good...there is no back board though..but i just put my lead and chord in their, so that works out. I dont nknow much else about the quality and construction.

    This amp is awesome, and i recommend it to anyone...well maybe not to the people with a hell of alot of money..cuz then i'd recommend Mesa-Boogie's or higher range Marshalls. Anyway..go out and buy it.. its defentally worth them money. You can get pretty much the same amp without built in effects for cheaper...but the effects keep you entertained for longer...and you can try new things.
