Park G10

Mid 90's Korean made

Shame its not the one with reverb, but I'll find one of those sooner or later...

Plenty of poke for around the house, perfect for practice.
Features have been mentioned before.

Very good sound for a small budget amp, can do clean, a VERY decent cruch and can go ballistic too. Thanx to those 2 cascading gain controls, very nifty feature. Sounds good with my vintage The Paul and my Squier tele. Suitable for all types of music, I play mostly rocky stuff. Takes effects well.

Not noisy at all.

Bought it secondhand, its old now, but looks as good as new and functions flawlessly. The pots are notoriously dodgy, but all is fine on mine.

Nicely built, sturdy little thing. Should bode well for the future.

No idea.

This little amps keeps amazing me and my mates too, it's a shitty little Park, but hey, it sounds the bizz for such a small amp! NOT to be confused with the indian - made efforts produced today, the korean ones are in a different league.
I bought it for silly money off a guy who was emigrating, he just wanted to get rid, so i bagged myself the bargain of the year.
I MUST find the reverb version, it will be my quest, my mission.

I also use a vintage Roland Bolt 30 hybrid combo and an Epiphone valve junior head. Effects are Tech 21 and Boss.

If you find one in decent nick going cheap ( and they generally do ) , buy it. it's a very handy 10 watter to have sitting around, and the sounds are there, believe it or not.

small sold state practice amp. master volume, 2 cascading gain controls, treble/mid/bass. quite simple. unfortunately, only a single channel. still, we're not really going to be using this to gig with, are we? no reverb, either. quite low wattage. only just enough to satisfy even bedroomers on totally clean. the stock speaker is like polystyrene. i replaced mine with a more heavy duty one that i found in an old pioneer hi-fi cab.

this amp is surprisingly versatile. totally clean is left hand gain control in the middle, with the right hand one turned all the way down. then you use the master for overall volume. this may sound strange, but in this mode, it is good as an amplifier for other things. i use it as a sound system for the PC. since it is so easy to move around, being only small.

the dual cascading gains are a huge benefit. at full whack, they give a sustaining fuzz like tone. and if you combine this with the bass turned all the way down, treble and mid all the way up, then you have an alt rock lo-fi kind of tone. if you then put the bass and treble all the way up, with the mid all the way down, then you have metal.

for totally clean, do as mentioned up at the top of this paragraph. but don't expect much volume. in actual fact, this amp can kind of emulate a tube amp, somewhat. turn the master volume all the way up, then turn the right hand gain all the way down. then use the left hand gain as a master volume. as you turn up, it breaks up. it's almost a 'my first toy tube amp' kind of think going on, if you do this. quite fun to drive it up. combine this with bass all the way up and treble/mid halfway, and we've got a really nice bluesy rock kind of tone.

as i said, i replaced the speaker. the one i put in gave it a lot more bottom end. much more full. an upgrade in this department would be good, if you could find one or have one given to you. doesn't have to be anything special. as the stock one is very cheap. so virtually anything out of most decent pre 80's hi-fis will do.

i've had this a very long time. christmas '95, to be precise. never had anything go wrong with it at all. it's been used all the time, since i use it as an amp for my PC. and was used a lot with guitar at full blast too

i have a much louder tube amp now. but i'll keep this. and i sometimes use it for low volume practices. since the tube amp only sounds good when loud, imo.

The G-10 could use a good spring reverb, but I believe that is all it is lacking.

I found this amp in my garage. It belonged to my wife during a passing (I think I'll play guitar) phase. And I never gave it a passing thought, no way it could sound as good as my line 6. Wrong!
This little thing sounds phenomenal when pushed, try turning the two gain knobs to 12 o clock all the eq knobs at full and the master volume to 2 o clock or higher and you will get an amazingly dynamic AC/DC like overdrive. The harder you hit it the crunchier it gets. This little guy also takes to pedals (distortion and effects) amazingly well, in fact if you wanna play heavy metal you'll need a good distortion to step outta ZZ Top/ The Who territory cause the two gains turned all the way up doesn't sound too great.

solid state that sounds this good is a win win situation!

Never dealt with Marshall, never had to!

This is THE only amp in my practice room right now. I've fallen in love with this diminuitive monster. my les paul and my pedal board love it! Marshall is the only company who cares enough to make sure that even their tiny little practice amps have their name on it and should sound good. This amp is proof of solid state done right.

The amp is pretty simple. It's a small practice amp with corner guards that could sustain a small nuclear blast. Just 1 input, with 2 gains, master volume and 3 EQ (bass middle treble). It's pretty light on the features, but 2 gains can give a good range of tones.

I have a Double Fat Strat and an Explorer, so I'm always using a humbucker. Basically, you can't beat the distortion on this small amp. With the two gain knobs, you can go from a slight crunch to superfuzz to bass overdrive (with the bass turned up of course). But distortion is it. There is no clean channel, you simply have to turn the gain down, which makes the amp a lot quiter and looses tonal range. Bottom line: if you play with distortion all the time, then this practice amp is perfect, if you need clean, find someting else. I'd give it a 10 for distortion and 2 for clean...

I bought this amp new when I was in the 7th grade. I just turned 23 and it's still kickin. It's been kicked, knocked over, and moved thousands of miles accross the country. Not a scratch and still sounds the same as the day I bought it. Like I said before: I don't think Ginsu could cut through those corner guards.

Never delt with them.

I've been playing for 10 years now. I just upgraded practice amps to a Fender 112, because I'm playing a lot more clean guitar than I used to. If it were stolen, I would hunt down that person down since the amp carries a lot of sentimental value (first amp and all). The distortion is fantastic, it can take a beating and still rock your socks off, but you can't play clean and loud. I only paid $80 for it back in 1993, so the value is great.

Not sure when it was made, early-mid 90's I think, Park being a subsidiary of Marshall. Basically a very simple 10w solid-state practise combo reminiscient of a mini-Marshall. It only has one channel, but this sports two gain knobs, 3-band EQ (bass,mids,treble) and a master volume knob. One input socket and one headphone jack.

Like many amps this size and age, it does not pack reverb, but as a previous reviewer said, two gains make up for that and I will detail that later. The body is quite solid and it was obviously contructed well. Features a carry handle and detachable AC power plug.

For what it is intended to be, a simple practise amp, it has all the necessary requirements. A line/speaker out would of been good though, but no complaints.

I use this amp with either an ES-335 replica or a Squire Strat running through a Boss RV-2, BD-2 and DS-1. The amp handles single coil pickups and humbuckers nicely, though I'm a fan of the latter. I have to say that this has to be one of the most tonally variable practise combos I have ever used and I put that down to one thing: the twin gains.

Gain 1 produces a slight overdrive, raising the volume more, whilst Gain 2 is a harsher distorted sound, shredding the tone on higher settings. Combine this with my BD-2 (for crunch/slight overdrive/volume boost) and DS-1 (all out distortion) and you've got hundreds of potential combinations.

I play a mix of rhythm and lead in a prog/alt-rock band, influenced by everything from Nirvana to The White Stripes. This amp smokes! It does the Seattle grunge sound but easily skips into a bluesier tone with a few tweaks. It's also quite a loud little beast and I wager it would be easy enough to use over a drummer at practise provided it was elevated.

The clean sound is a bit less remarkable, but I never play clean-clean anyway. With my 335 copy I get a nice full sound from the humbuckers, and almost tube-like overdrive on a decent volume. I've had about four or five practise amps and this one beats them all.

I wouldn't gig with this thing, but if it had a speaker out, I'd be interested to see how it sounded running off a speaker cab, maybe a pair of, or even a single 12".

Looks like it's in great nick for its age.

No warranty, purchased third or fourth hand.

Been playing 7 or so years, seriously in bands over last two. I've got an NZ-made 50w tube head that I run through a 2x12 cab for gigging, the Park is just for bedroom use. I've had something like four or five practise amps ranging from Peavey, Vox, Ashton etc but this is my favorite one to date, because it's got the most "rock" tone of them all i.e. it sounds almost Marshall, because it basically is.

I was turned on to this amp by a bandmate who had one and he got an amazing tone from it, though he was using a Danelectro Fab-Tone and the most suberb Squire Telecaster I've ever played, it coudl rival a real Fender for playability and sound. The best feature on this amp is the twin gains, so much variety in overdrive.

The G10 Mark II which replaced this was nowhere near as good an amp, have played through one and this one beats it hands down. If you want a good bedroom blaster with a bit of variety (will play just about everything, save really heavy metal or thrash), look out for one of these - they should retail for around $50US, which is something like $85NZ.

I've had this amp for about 10 years, and bought it based on a Guitar Player magazine recommendation for a good practice amp. There's not too many features--it gets a real good clean sound (as long as you don't get too loud), and a really good "grunge/metal" distorted sound (again, not too loud). No channel switching, so what you dial in is what you get. A headphone jack comes in handy when you have to be real quiet.

For a tiny practice amp, this thing rocks! I played a Sheraton Epiphone (with Gibson Classic '57s) through it on a clean setting, and it's amazing what 10 watts and an 8" speaker can sound like. It's really a lot better sounding than you might thing by looking at it. The distorted tones sound great, too, if a little "fake." But then again, we're talking about a $70 practice amp.

10 years and no problems, but I don't use it alot, and never gig with it (of course--it's a 10 watt practice amp!)

I've been playing guitar 15 years and have a small music store in my basement. This is my smallest amp (and my only solid state, by the way). I have mostly Fender and Musicman amps, ranging from a 4 watt Vibrochamp to a pair of 130 watt Musicman combos(one all tube, one hybrid), and quite a few in between. If it was stolen, I wouldn't replace it, because I really don't need it. But for a tiny practice amp, it ROCKS. It's also a decent harp amp--I use it as a backup to my '73 Princeton Reverb when I gig out playing harp. Not that it is a true replacement to the Princeton, but you could gig with it if it were miked--it sounds fine!

Small beginner solid state practice bedroom amp.
Has 2 gain knobs (what on earth for, I wonder) and tone control.
Just the one channel, this thing is pretty basic. Does have headphone out, so for real a bedroom amp.
I wish my mom got me the G10R (same thing + reverb) but I wasn't complaining at the time.
This was my first ever guitar amp. My mom bought me this when I was 17, together with a beginner guitar.

I'm putting a 7, because for a beginner amp, this thing is OK, feature-wise.

I had a no-brand Strat-copy (it had a "The Beast" decal on the headstock, scary, huh?). This guitar has three single coil no brand pickups.
Since at that time I had not yet developed "my" style, i was playing just anything on it. This was mostly scales for practicing and some beginner Jimi H. chords. The amp did alright, as I remember. It was kinda loud but not too loud, and mostly distorted. I can't remember ever getting a good clean sound from this baby.
The amp isn't noisy at all, unless you turn up both gains and volume and stand too close with the guitar. It wasn't really quiet either when turned up, but just a slight buzz.
The amp has an OK overdrive sound and an OK distorted sound. The clean is pretty bad.
Overall it was pretty bad, when compared to my current amp.. But that wouldn't be fair. I'm giving it a 6.

I don't see me gigging with this. Ever.
It hasn't broken down, though the potmeters started crackling like mad. My brother has the same amp and his pots are OK. Maybe just the dust i put out..
When I was bored and tried to clean the pots, I might have zapped something though I don't know how. It just buzzes really loudly now...

Overall, when you don't fiddle with it, it'll be fine. My brother's still works and I suppose mine would too, if I hadn't f*cked it up.

Never dealt with Park/Marshall.
I had the pots cleaned out when the warranty ran out, and the shop did it for free, which was really cool because I was 18 and broke at that time. Thank you, Big One, Zwolle, Netherlands.

I've been playing for 10 years now. This amp did what it had to do, it sparked my creativity and got me into playing guitar. Thank you, amp. I am truely grateful for that.
Since then, I have ofcourse replaced this amp with something big and loud. I went from the Park G10 to a JCM900 1x12 combo to a H&K Tube50 to a Bluesbreaker RI. The latter rocks. My. Socks. Yes. The other amps I sold, but this one was still going strong in the bedroom, so I never bothered selling it. Now it is collecting dust in the attic. Poor thing.
Since it was a present from my mother, I never compared it to anything. We just got the cheapest one. This was it.

Overall rating is a 7. It's this high because it has served me well, considering it is a beginner amp. It is this low because it is no more than that, a beginner amp. You get what you see, though, so that's alright.

Dunno when this was made - the other guitarist in the band I play in owns it. From memory it's got two gains, low, mid, hi and a volume. No reverb but the two gains make up for that in my opinion. No channel switching - but it's a small practice amp.

The other guitarist plays through a stock squier telecaster through a danelectro fabtone. Dunno what this is like for clean sounds but for a slighty overdriven sound I've never seen better in a little amp. Goes bloody loud for its size too. I was blown away when I first heard him playing it - it sounded better than the junky Yorkville Stage 90 I owned at the time. I guess it doesn't do a lot of sounds - hence the 7, but what it does do it does very well for a solid state.

I've never heard him say it has broken down. Chances are he would have turfed it if it had. Pots are clean. Dunno if you'd really gig with this.

No idea.

Considering I've seen these around here for NZ$90 (probably about US$55) it's a complete bargain for a learner amp. This thing can be heard above our drummer at practice as long as you lean it back or sit it on a chair.

This is a MORE POWER review.

Being poor and electrically inclined, i decided to mod the thing,as I cannot sell it.

If you can solder this is very easy. In addition to soldering gear, you will need a TL072 chip and chip socket and a TDA2050,with a slightly larger heatsink being advisable. I'm assuming that if you wanted to do this you'ld know enough for me not to have to go into too much detail.

Step1: Remove the god awful JRC4558 [ask any technician what they'd really rather use]from IC1. Solder in chip socket.Place TL072 chip in socket.
Step2: Undo heatsink mount and unsolder the Park's TDA 2030.Replace this with TDA 2050.Replace heatsink and make sure heatsink not is contacting anything..other than the chip.

This mod will also,obviously, apply to MOST amps/devices fitted with a JRC4558 and a 5 Pin Power amp (LM1875/TDA 2030/TDA2003,etc).
In my experience a lot of basic practice amps are fitted with these chips...Marshalls,Vox,Park,Rhino,Fender..the list goes on.

You will thank me. Due to the better performance of the TL and the higher output power of the 2050 the preamp can give a wide range of tone from Fendery clean and also get up into THE TONALITY of a Marshall stack..allowing for the fact that it's a tiny solid state amp.

I'm giving it an 8 as you can get other amps at a similar price [all Parks will be secondhand by now] which have a better sound,but,if you can pick up a G10R for #20-30 and do this to it,you'ld knock the socks off an MG15,which I've played a few times as well.

It's one of the best small SS amps I've heard and certainly THE BEST "10" watt..talking of which the TDA running into the original speaker at 12v should produce approx 14 to 18 Watts RMS.

A speaker change would be needed for full tilt use and a bigger heatsink..

Gain 1 used on its own gets the blues tones up to slight breakup and gain 2 brings in the ZZ Top,Zep,Metallica.

Overall background noise is down and the picking dynamics are better..do not expect it to change into an AC30 though.

Best #6 I've ever spent,apart from on Prophylactics.

Watts generate heat,but,as the new chips are far better spec than the old, I do not forsee any problems..

n/a

Playing 20 or so years,had this 9yrs,Have lots of Gear from top spec companies.This is a good little amp. I'd put this up against an MG15 or similar.

I'd just like to publicly curse a few companies who still use RC4558s instead of better chips.You know who you are,SS amps are enough of a compromise before yer start putting low spec components in..

I blame Ibanez for that damn Pedal and all that talk about whether a JRC4558"D" is better than a JRC4558..PLEASE..GET A CLUE> Use a better chip to start with> To use a bad analogy the response of the 4558 is like a car with a 750cc engine and the TL series like a 2 litre,ie, The TL "picks up" better and doesn't leave a nasty mishmash of background noise behind.

..and the horse you rode in on..

The amp now rates 8 to 9 all round as I do have tube amps,but,this is still a fine practice amp.

its only a practice amp...so not too concerend that its not loaded with features...dunno when it was made, but for the #10 it cost me, good value for money either way! i play rock indie stuff with a les paul, and found this amp sounds top for what i do! im gonna be using it for recording lead guitar parts for my band's tunes...thus lack of output isnt so important as a good sound.

like i said before, im using it with a les paul with standard pick ups and get on fine with it....just building a start so it'll be interesting to see what happens when i start playing with that one. it can be a little noisy with the gain settings on full, but theres an easy solution : turn them down! theres more than enough distortion anyway...i absolutely LOVE the sound this puppy gives out - top marks!

havent had it break down in the 3 days ive had it...so far so good! the pots could use a little attention, but i was expecting this as per the #10 price i paid for it.

not yet...

if something happened to this baby, ive got a yamaha amp i used to use for recording...but i wouldnt, no way. i love this amp to bits!

the amp is basic and has two gain controls plus a three band eq and master volume. also a headphone socket. it looks like a marshall until you go closer and realise that its is from the 'cheap jack' arm of the company-park

. i used to have both gains/treble/bass turned up full and middle all the way back for a metal sound when i had a les paul copy. but now i do all eq and effects with a boss gt-6 and i now own a fender jaguar. so obviously the amp needs to be totally clean (gain 1 in the middle gain 2 all the way back and eq totally flat apart from middle up full). This wouldn't be very good for performing as it's only 15? watts but its great for being a practice amp. when you have a cosm effects proccessor like the gt-6 you can get pretty much any sound you want and it will sound good on any amp and speaker as long as they are in good condition.

i've had this amp since xmas '95 it was my first! and i've played with it soooo much at like full volume and it is exactly the same as when it was new

na

i've been playing for as long as i've had this amp and i'm pretty sentimental about it. but if it blew i would probobally get a vox tube amp or somthing for that vintage sound

Its only a practice amp, so i dont expect features. It has all i ever wanted when i was just learning to play. The 2 gain knobs added a little versatility.

This thing sounds like the worst peice of crap i have ever heard. If i try to dial in some distortion with the gain knobs, i get some muddy noise. If i try to go clean, it either has no sound or gets muddy if i try to play a chord instead of a single note.

This thing works less than half the time. I have to screw around with the gain knobs and for some reason that eventually gets it to make noise, but its exactly that: noise.

I care about this so little, i've never even thought about getting it fixed cuz its not worth putting any more money into it.

I was given this amp by my cousin when i was first starting to play, and i see why he gave this away cuz i just gave this away to my friend whose just starting. The only thing i liked about this is that i was given it for free. I think its a shame that this product is associated with marshall. I own a marshall DSL 401 and a JCM 800 2205 and i love them both. Pay a like $150 and get marshalls lowest priced amp (probably the MG series) instead of $50 for this piece of shit or buy a fender practice amp because they stay clean which is all you want for begininer practice.

1994. Good versatile amp for a litle 'un. many styles of music from heavy to country. 1 channel - wish it had an output [low] for cabs.Home use only can get fairly loud. Basic eq master vol and low ish/highish gain knobs.

Using Yamaha,Kramer,Ibenutz strat copies, Cheri tele copy, Ancient LP copy and a Real Gibson. any style you can play. noisy on mid high which will rattle your fillings - i must have got the good one. Ok clean sounds and damn fine distorted sounds -set the master vol low, put it through an fx box/preamp crank the gain and it's into seriously heavy territory. On mid level sounds -Rock n roll, U2 that sort of thing its ok BUT at most levels it sucks the sustain out of any guitar even the Gibson, higher up the fretboard, I'd guess that's the speaker size. Clean hisses at high vols. Distortion excellent when new. Pots died over the years I replaced them with similar value pots this is quite easy as all the values are stamped in and the amp is fairly eay to take apart -i spent all my money on gtrs and will only soon be able to afford a better amp. loud enough - just- to annoy a small block of flats i used to live in, well the floor above anyway.

Pots died and were replaced 2001, they were getting bad from '98 onwards used flat out a lot for flat rattlin' in 98 this may have contibuted to it's demise. Could get a fair hendrix/60s vibe type sound with a strat when cranked and a good Zep(1) - Dazed and Confused- with the Tele copy. When this was new I impressed my girlfriend with the sound it could make - such a sweet,simple girl!

Tough heavy little mofo. Panzerpruffe!

No way of knowing.

Repaired it myself, simple box of bits.

1 year warranty. I really don't know how the new Marshall G10 compares to this, if it's similar then it'll be a great beginner amp.

I'm going to a Vox ASAP.

OH lordy, i'm too old to be piddlin around with a tiny feller like this. I have another couple of amps which i hook up to it to get dual mono sounds.

DAMN....... IT... SCOTTY INEEDMOREPOWER!!!

BE Serious this is a fine first/practice amp and competed admirably with my flatmates 30W Fender(?) .. up to a point. I do not regret buying this amp and would consider a Marshall 50 watt.. if they were cheaper, or a 30 if they were better sounding.

If it were stolen I'd take the proverbial Panzer which everyone says that their gear would stand up to being run over by, and drive it up the culprits rectum,sideways. BTW ,this amp can be sat on and is quite physically tough and heavy for it's size.

This amp was made in 1993 and i have had it for about 7 years.it has no switching which is a shame as it has some really good gain sounds with the two knobs. the controls are gain 1 gain 2 bass middle trebble and master volume. i have had a line out socket built into mine and i sometimes runn it into my 4x12 for distortion at gigs (for clean sounds i use a vox v15) its pretty powerfull for a practise amp.

i use a jackson dr3 a couple of 70s strats and a yamaha pacifica most of the time onstage and it reacts better to humbuckers as some of the gain sounds on single coils are very brittle and tend to break up the sound but as a practise amp this is fine although you have to have a low volume to get a decent clean sound but it suits my style of pop punk/ rock well as the distortion is very brutal and can also pull of a good blues impresion if you twiddle the knobs right but the variety is quite limited to distortion because the clean sounds are too quiet.

This amp has never evr (touch wood) failed me and i take it everywhere with me i actualy carry it onstage and plug it in because i use it in the dressing room.

n/a

ive been playing now for 8 years and i also use a vox v15 which is a great amp but has no gain. i would by another park if i got the chance but dont think i could be bothered to get a line out socket fitted again and it would be nice to have a few footswitches and reverb for heavens sake. i love the dirty sounds on this amp but the clean sounds are virtualy none existent. for a beginer its a great amp but more intermediate players could do with more control and variety instead of using 2 amps like me.

nothing to great here. 1 volume, a gain setting, a boost swicht and a contour nob. It is a 10 watts amp with an 8" speaker in it. It is loud enough to to be heard by the neighbourhood if you live in an appartement. Do not forget that it is a practice amp

it has a great distorsion. It can go brutal to simply rock. The contour nob affect the sound very much. The clean on this thing is not worth a thing

very sturdy thing. All solid state. Very light. Because it is only a practice amp, you can depend on it.

never dealt with the,

It is not a very versatile amp but if you are into metal, this is the practice amp you want to buy. Compare it to some of the crate models and you will purchase a Park instead. But if you want versatility, go somewhere else

A standard 10 watt 2 gain, treb,mid, bass, volume controls. No reverb pitty. Alright as a practice amp. I have a H&K Triamp but use the G10 for practice as the Triamp is too loud and takes time to warm up the values, with this its just turn on and play. No complaints from the neighbours.

I use a strat and a es-335. Gives alright distortion although once at a fairly loud level, you only get distortion. So I just use my pod, and vox pedals for sounds.

Excellent, not one problem, had it for 5 years.

Excellent again, broke a knob was sent a replacement for free.

Good little practice amp, but for the same price you could get something with 2 channels and reverb.

10 watt solid state combo 2 gains, Bass middle and treble + a master volume. I've had the amp 5 years now and is has always been strictly a practice amp. and to this purpose works just fine. However at the price paid channel switching would be nice as it comes as standard on some amps of lower price (peavy ones for example.)

I play using a jackson rhodes fitted with two humbuckers and an epiphone explorer also fitted with two humbuckers. the first thing to note is that with the gains full up and the volume getting that way the amp buzzes so much you lose an awfull lot of your sound. This means that I have resorted to using an FX pedal for distortion. however on lower volumes the noise is much less noticlble and the distortion very usable, it is in fact almost fuzz like with a farty low end grind. on cleaner settings it is again very useable. However when the volume is maxed the amp takes on a horribl farty noise on all Fx I use and on the clean settings themselves (urrgh) However it is very unlikely that the amp is going to be used for more than solo practice so this isn't such a problem. I only notice this as i have recently joined a band and I can only just compete with the drummer and bassist. in all with Fx's in fount the amp can make some usefull noise just abit to much in some situations. I play a shed load of MetallicA stuff and the band is into heavier end of punk rock and the noise it can generate can just about cope (only just. when I get a new larger amp I dont think this will leave the bedroom unless i can use it as a monitor but still i ain't gonna sell it its worth holding onto.

Hasn't given me any trouble. nothings fallen off nothings gone loopy. Have been using very exteam ammounts of distortion on very high volume settings and it is still going so thumbs up. Virtually indestructable.

never talked with them

Very good and exteamly useable in practice situations, especially if you have some FX. will never be loud enough to getany where near the stage unless as a monitor.

I think its a Mid-90's G10 i got it third hand so im not sure. It is relatively versatille for what i play but im gonna get a new amp soon.
I Play mostly Nirvana and other grunge bands. the distortion is poor for these but i use a Boss Os-2 pedal for distortion.
Its a one channel solid state 10watt amp so its not very loud and near full volume it gets very bassy almost like a sub-tone sort of thing....It has a headphone out, dual gain switches, mid,bass,treble, volume....it would be nice with a line out....

I use it with my Epiphone Les paul Standard....two humbuckers....
The clean sound is quite good but the gain is pretty poor it basically only delivrs lo gain and mushy overdrive you really need a good distortion pedal for proper gain....The sound is quite good quality and not very loud but at full volume the sound gets very bass and is absoloute crap.....
I'd say this amp is good for a beginner but you'll soon realise you need something better...

Its never broken down or anything but the plastic knob for the bass switch has fallen off...other than that no real problems...its not complex enough to go wrong.....
You couldnt gig with a 10 watter but its okay for rythum playing in a band just practising....

Never had any contact with them...never any real problems

Not bad for a beginner amp...can be quite loud with a good pedal.....amp distortion is mushy tripe but the clean isnt bad.....reliable but not great build quality.....alogther not bad for its price range

Made around '93. This amp really only has one channel which ranges from clean to distortion, using two knobs: Gain1 and Gain2. It has Bass, Middle, and Treble knobs, and a Master Volume knob. Wish it had Reverb. This was my first amp - later got a Peavey Bandit 65 - now I've graduated to Fender:). I use the Park G10 as a monitor now for my keyboard at gigs, gotta watch that distortion though! Also used it in a Halloween display for playing goulish sounds thru a tape deck. Actually I've found it pretty versatile and easy to carry around. The sales guy made a point to say Park was "made by Marshall."

Originally bought it with an Ibanez electric cheapo guitar. I was a gear neophyte and the price was right. It is plenty loud but sounds like a toy to me now with my Tele. Works pretty good onstage as a keyboard monitor (keyboard also patched into the PA system) since i can control the volume easily with the Master knob. I'm gonna keep it though... it's a handy little amp.

A few months after I got it several pots began getting noisy and since it was under warranty they replaced some of the pots, no charge. I guess Park uses cheap pots. Later they started to get noisy again so i squirted in some WD-40 and never a problem since!

The warranty worked for me.

Not a bad practice amp, but NO REVERB! Distortion sound is fair, and you can crank this amp pretty loud. General purpose amp.

basic practice amp. a few knobs. no reverb. solid state.

this was my first amp. i had a peavey strat copy when i had this amp. i like to play rock and roll music. everything from classic rock to thrash. i like to play everything. this amp wasnt noisy. the clean sound was pretty darn good. the distortion sound was really good for a small practice amp. this amp is intended to be a bedroom practice amp for beginners. however, it actually can get some pretty cool sounds.

this is a dependable amp. i never had any problems whatsoever. solid state dependability.

overall, i would give this amp a 6. it doesnt really have many features. its just a basic, no frills practice amp. but it does have a good sound. suprising good quality for the price.

There's only 6 knobs on this amp: two gain controls, treble, middle and
bass and volume control. There's one input jack and headphone jack.
That is about all. It's very simple but pretty good amp for playing
quietly at home. It's cheap and for the money great sounding blues/rock amplifier.

I use custom made ASD guitar(probably noone heard of it ) with noname
pickups. Still I am very satisfied with the sound through G10.
Clean sound is a bit too ordinary without characteristic, but if you roll gain controls you get overdriven sound great for playing blues
and vintage rock. It's noisy on extreme gain settings, but i don't use
that cause sound starts breaking up because of high distortion.
You can't play metal with Park G10. Infact any heavy distorted stuff ain't good. You can either use clean sound
( not so good, but you'll get use to it) or mild to heavy overdrive.

This is only for rehearsing at home and nothing more. In that case
no problem with the amp. Mine is five years old and I even think
that the sound is a bit better than at the time I bought it.

I can't say anything about support. I think that I'll get rid of it
when something breaks. Or maybe I'll use some electronics experience
cause everything inside is rather simple. This is certainly a category
not to worry about.

Overall buy this one only if you need something to full around with
at home till you get something better. But if this is the amp you'll
use for some time, then enjoy what you've got. Try experimenting
with knobs and find some useful sounds. I think there are some.
