Marshall MS-2 update

Marshall MS-2

I'm continually impressed by this little micro stack.

I use it a lot at home now and has become my practise amp.

So simple to use and sounds harsh cranked but has a certain gritty quality that I love, especially good when you have your normal pedals plugged into it.

REVIEW: Marshall MS-2

The Marshall MS-2 is a micro amp aimed at the bedroom and busking guitarist.

  • 9v battery or mains
  • Clean and OD
  • Headphone jack
  • Belt clip

Price - around £25

Build Quality
This is made in the far east, whose reputation is a lot better these days for building quality products.  It's a plastic finish but the eye is in the details, from the mesh grille to the miniature knobs and logo this is great.

The belt clip is well constructed and not going anywhere.

Ease of use
Really simple here only a few controls (volume, tone and on/off/od), all clearly labelled and big enough to still use.

Sounds
Don't expect the sound of a full size amp here, it's a great way to get playing quickly without plugging your normal rig in or for busking.  The clean tones are great, some buzz as you would expect when cranked.  The OD is the classic British crunch, great for rock and blues.

Value for money
Can't go wrong for £25, get one!

Overall
Ideal for anyone wanting to start busking or play at low volume at home.

G | H rating 5/5
