Marshall MG 100 amplifier is a cheaper version of some of the other amplifiers and Marshall has done before. This is an all tube amplifier but it really doesn't sound like a tube amplifier in my opinion. It doesn't have the fell or punch enemies to lexi amplifier. This just doesn't have feel the touch in the dynamics and I'm used to in pretty much every other Marshall amplifier I've ever played before. To me this thing is just plain garbage and the price you're asking for is not exactly what I would have in mind when it comes to the tone voicing this amplifier.

UTILIZATION

Features

100W of all-tube Marshall tone
2 channels
3 ECC83 preamp tubes
4 EL34 power tubes
Independent volume and 3-band EQ controls per channel
Gain, Crunch, and Balance controls on OD channel
Master Presence, Resonance, Reverb controls
Spring reverb
Serial effects loop
Footswitch included



SOUNDS

It does have some decent modern features such as the balance controls on the overdrive channel as well as the presences control for the power section. This allows you better dial in the voicing in tone of your sound you're looking for. This is a two channel amp that has for pop EL34 power tubes in it. You also get a spring reverb and a serial FX loop and it's all controlled via this foot switch that is included with you.

The Thomas amp is not that special and it just does have that martial quality I like to hear have the amps that I've played from Marshall. Doesn't feel the dynamics or anything associated with any other Marshall amplifier I've ever played. I just feel like this amplifier is a terrible representation of what Marshall stands for. It just doesn't have that feeling tell him that I like to hear.

OVERALL OPINION

It doesn't really matter what are you playing this amplifier with it just doesn't sound natural or authentic. At new these amplifiers come in at around $799 which is a little over priced for what you get my opinion. Peavey has such a better amplifier for this same so I would go with the Peavey amplifier over this such as a 5151 6505 amplifiers from Peavey. Those are much better sounding and much more usable than this amplifiers.
