should i buy a marshall mg30dfx

skapunkkeith

well, im looking for something to replace my **** 15 watt, is this any good, its only 160 euro, is that cheap, i dont need anything too big as it is not for gigging or anything and i dont have the room, should i get it

feylya

No. Don't do it. Save your money and get a decent amp.

skapunkkeith

whats wrong with it,is it not good, i just want to upgrade my amp

feylya

Terrible amps. What gear are you using at the moment? Are you looking for jam with a band?

The Lopper

Order gear off the internet, Ireland is a ripp-off for instruments, get the musicstore.de catalouge

skapunkkeith

i was gonna order it from shopireland, its not for gigging

feylya

There's really no point getting it. 15W will do you grand for the time being. If you have that money burning a hole in your pocket, pickup up some effects like a Pod v2.

I did exactly what you are proposing to do a few years ago. It was an ok amp that did what I needed it to, no gigging with it just jamming and so forth. I would say that at the time it was a pretty good choice but today there are somany other better alternatives. If it is simply for home use then I would say get a Vox valetronix as it will give you a host of sounds that sound really good when kept to lowish levels. I understand you wanting to ungrade the amp as a small 15 watt solid state amp gets boring very fast. The MGDFX 30 is a good buy at €160 euro all the same but I would really strongly advise anyone against buying an Marshall MG above the MG30DFX. That would not be a good choice. Steer clear of the AVT range also too. I think that if you go into town you can get them down to withing 20 euro or so of the online price on those Vox jobs. I am always willing to pay 15% more ot buy it in real Irish shop. Its really a lot better to do business there and then. You could find one in the buy and sell too if you took a look.

Overall dont go for the MG.

i just saw a fender frontman 65 watt, r they any good

feylya

Unless you're pushing some good effects into it, it's not a great amp. Seriously, save your money and get a better amp or guitar or effects.

jcoote

feylya

€400 would get you a second hand Peavey Classic 30 easily!
