Park G10MK.II

Not sure when made.

Made in Korea by Park. Same amp as the Marshall G10 MkII.

Very simple practice amp.

I use it when traveling to practice.

Three controls, Gain, Contour, Volume plus a Boost switch.

Has headphone jack and 1 instrument input.

I've seen videos on Youtube where a guy is cranking this little amp and rocking out.

It can do that. Go search Youtube and you may see it.

I just play it clean and it's just fine for practice.

Pretty simple amp.

I opened it up and it looks well made.

Never needed it.

I bought this amp for $25 on Craiglist.

For $25 I'd buy it again but not new. I don't think these are made anymore.

Well, for practising this amp is fantastic, it has some cool distortion and sounds like a 20 watt amp not a 10 watt amp! The amp dosn't have many effects but for what it is its great

I use mine with a tele deluxe re-issue and its sound fab, the round sound of the guitar really suits the amp. There is abit of buzzing from the amp which can get really tiresome at times. The distortion is pretty good as i said and i havn't even dared to turn it up to full volume (probably cause it would blow up!)but for hard rockers it ain't good enough.

NO way could you use it for a gig but it hasn't let me down in any practises. However a loose connection at the back often causes problems but i just havn't been bothered to solder it.

The warranty is like 6 months i think but i never needed it as it never let me down. Due to its size it can't really go wrong.

Its a great amp for 10 watts and for bedroom practicing its a steal. If it blew up i'd probably get a bigger amp but i bet it wouldn't be as reliable! Great amp for sub #30.

The amp was made in 1999 i think, its quite versatile, has sensitive tones and gain, It has only one input channel, but it has a headphone jack and a boost button which make the amp sound alot bigger than it is, solid state 6" speaker, i am using it because my vox brokedown, my vox is a vox venue 100 watt combo 6 channel, and i can say that the sound quality of the g10 mk2 is almost as good as the vox, not really powerful enough for gigging, but it is a practise amp

well my guitar is kinda crap i am using a Bc Rich warlock, twin humbucker, but it still sounds alright, i am gettin an epiphone flyin v soon and i cant wait 2 play that thru it, it suits my music style quite well i play every rock genre except indie and punk, coz punk is very boring and annoyin. if i played with my eyes closed i would imagine a much bigger cabinet than it actually is, they amp has a clean sound and a distortion sound, with the right setting the distortion almost becomes an overdrive clean sound, the clean channel doesnt distort at high volume which is good also. the distortion has an evil bite to it, it is a very good amp

it hasnt broken down on me yet, i wouldnt use it for a gig because it purely isnt a big enough speaker and cab. very reliable tho

never had 2 deal with the company, never got a warranty because i got it second-hand

i have been playing 2 years and i have picked up guitar pretty fast, i own a korg axg1 multi fx pedal and a vox venue 100 watt combo, if it was stolen or lost i would keep a look out for 1 second hand but i would not buy it brand new because i am in the process of repairing my vox, i love it its cheap and cheerful.

It's a tiny solid state 10 watt Marshall combo with a 6 inch speaker. I'm not sure of the year of manufacture - early 21st century I'd say. Made in India. The front panel is clearly marked "G10 Mk.II" but the speaker is marked "MG Series". I can't claim that the combo is "feature packed" 'cos it aint but Marshall have cleverly packed quite a lot of tone into the amps 4 controls - Gain, Volume, Contour and Boost switch. Other than these it's only got an input socket, a headphone socket, a power switch and a power LED. No reverb, no FX send, no FX, no switchable channels, no footswitches, no bass or treble, nothing.

I'm only using a Squire Affinity Strat with the usual single coil pickups. It sounds great. The clean sound (Boost off) is very nice. The Contour knob makes a surprising amount of difference to the tone. In clean mode I like it with Contour right down which takes away a lot of mid leaving the bass and bell-like top end. With gain up high there is a usable distortion even with Boost off. With Boost on things get much heavier. Bass is boosted giving the impression of a much bigger cabinet. I don't go for the full gain sound often (personal thing) but love the lower gain crunches. You can get a clean sound with Boost on and Gain right down. It's bassy and good for a traditional Jazz guitar sound. The amp is very quiet (when it comes to hiss that is). I have to say I've always been knocked out by the sound - given the size of the box, the price, and the lack of knobs. It makes me want to practice.

Ridiculously well built for a practice amp that's only supposed to sit in a bedroom. I've not had any reliability problems. Ask me again in 20 years time.

Never had to contact Marshall. Don't expect I'll ever need to.

Ive been playing for over 20 years (mainly bass but always some guitar - more so in recent years). I own 3 basses but only one 6 string (the Squire Strat). My gigging amp is a 100+ watt Peavey Special. If the little Marshall was stolen I'd be gutted and would want to replace it with the same (although I'd certainly give the new MG10CD a try out). I love the way it looks, the build quality and the fact that when I face away from the amp I am convinced that I've got a much bigger box behind me. I've used it at church instead of my Peavey 100+ watt combo. It was plenty loud enough as my foldback (the guitar was DI'd into the PA). When I was looking for a practice amp I expected to have to buy a bigger box (such as the MG15 or MG30) to get the tone I wanted (having experienced very poor boxy tones with other small practice amps). However the tone of this Marshall is great

The amp was made in 1998 and is a tiny solid state combo which is superbly portable and well built. I play metal and punk and it does that fantastically well without any effects whatsoever. I mainly use the amp for home practice but it's got enough balls for pub gigs. It's got plenty enough power for its size. It has very basic features, but then features aren't what sold it to me, the sound and volume did that.

I use a Gibson Sonex and an Epiphone Flying V, both solely on the bridge humbucker. It works superbly with the gain set at about 7, the tone set to the middle and the loudness button depressed. These settings work at any volume, giving a wonderfully in-yer-face distorted tone which still highlights the differences between the two guitars. I don't use clean settings ever so I wouldn't really be qualified to comment.

Used repeatedly since 1999 without any problems whatsoever.

No problems. In the past I've pretty much fixed things myself or used the local repair shops so I don't realy know how good Marshall or their service centres are in a warranty/repair situation.

Been playing 22 years now, and I own and have owned, several Gibsons, Gibson copies and similar, all with humbuckers, all of which I only use on the bridge pickup. I've used HH, Vox and Marshall amps on stage in the past.

My real wish would be to have a stage amp of about 50-65 watts that produced the same tones as this little monster, was as reliable, looked as damned good and was as good value. I'd have no complaints about that whatsoever just as I've no complaints about this combo.

This amp is versatile with a good clean tone and a killer disto. It only has a gain, a boost, contour and volume. It also has a headphones jack.

I use it with a Samick with 2 hum. I mainly play metal with it and this amp is not bad for that because of the incredible disto. The clean tone is not bad too but this amp is a bit noisy.

The loudspeaker is becoming more and more noisy. I think it'll die soon but I bought it used... I wouldn't use it for a gig because it's not loud enough (though my neighbours think it's too loud...)

never dealt with them

I think this amp is perfect for beginners who want to practice and who want a killer disto. But it's definitly not loud enough to play live with it. I'll buy more powerful amp but I'll always keep this one because it's small and easy to bring.

I think the amp was made in '97. It 'obviously' has a volume, a gain, a contour, a boost button and a headphone jack. To get distortion on you have to put the gain up but it's not that good. It doesn't have an effects loop. I only use it to practise quietly with in my room. It's definately not powerful enough to be heard over drums unless you put the volume, the gain and the boost all on full, but when you do that it just sounds shitty. I'm setting up a band so I need a bigger amp for that. I'm getting aa peavy bandit at christmas. The G10mkII is alright for beginners.

I use an epiphone flying-v with 2 humbuckers, an epiphone les paul special model wit 2 humbuckers and a fender squire strat. I mainly play MetallicA as they are the best band ever and I'm just getting into koRn but there music is played on 7string guitars. The amps distortion is crap so I use a zoom effects pedal. The clean isn't too bad. The clean can be used for more softer tunes but the best sound on clean is when the contour is on 0-3. I don't really use the amp on it's own with out the effects pedal but as I said before, it's not bad for beginners. It's helped me practise.

I've had the amp for 3 years and I've never had any problems with it. It's never needed to be repaired or anything. It's taken a few bangs like being dropped down stairs and that didn't even do anything to it. If the amp was alot louder and had a much better distortion I'd proboably use it at a gig without backup but being as it is I couldn't unless I put it through a PA system but I don't know anybody who's got one.

Personally, I've never needed to contact them but I know people who have and they're supposedly quite helpful. As far as I know there isn't a warranty on this amp.

If I had the amp stolen or I lost it I wouldn't buy it again, I'd get a bigger amp. The good part about it is it's small and light so you can take it anywhere with no problem but the bad thing is there isn't a button you can press for distortion, you have to turn the gain knob up but if you want to keep the same volume, you have to turn the volume down. So, over all it's not the best amp on the market but its alright for people just starting out.

I don'tknow when the amp was made. The amp has good distortion, but the worst clean you can think of for the rock I play. It has two channels, it has a channel switch but it is just like it isn't even there because you have to fiddle with the knobs to turn distortion on or off. I does not have an effects loop. It has a headphone jack, but youll barely use it. I wish it had more wattage, bigger case, at least 50 watts, reverb, chorus, and a lot of other things, it only has three controls: GAIN, CONTOUR, and VOLUME, so there aren't any features I don't use, when I use it! I use it when I use it just for practice, it needs a lot more watts, 40 to be exact.

I use a Fender Mexican Strat Standard, it has the standard single coil pickups. The distortion suits my style, but the clean sucks. My style is Hard Rock.

This is the worst amp I have ever had. You can't depend on it. I wouldn't use it at a gig! It has broken down to once and messed up once. The first time the company sent a new one back to me, the second time it just plain out sucks. MARSHALL PEAVEYS @$$

They suck.

It sucks.

1998 made, 10 watt solid state, gain, contour, volume, boost switch, and headphone jack. I wish it had reverb but i really don't need it. Since my last amp sucked i decided i needed a good amp, and since i only play in my bedroom i justneed something small.

I use a epiphone special with 2 stock humbuckers, i play punk, metal, and anything else i decide to play. the clean isn't as clean as you might expect from a small practice amp it sounds more like a blues kind of tone and if you turn the gain all the way down you have to turn the volume all the way up to even hear the clean tone, but i don't play clean that much anyway. The distortion is fantastic for $80 You could probably get any sound you want from this amp, and you don't need an effects pedal. there is almost no noise that i can hear coming from this thing at all, unless the distortion is extremely high, and even then it's not that bad.

it's not loud enough to use on a gig and if it was it would be the backup. it's never "broken down" on me.

I haven't had to deal with any company and i want to keep it that way.

i haven't been playing for a long time, but i have played a lot of amps. if this amp ever got stolen or i broke i would buy a more powerful one like the 30 watt park i saw at the store too. this beats the shit out of any other $80 amp.

1998, made in Korea. This is the reissue of the Park G10. Single channel, 10 watts, solid-state combo. Four controls: Gain, Contour, Volume knobs and a Boost switch. Headphone jack in front. Says Marshall on the grille (good; who the hell wants a "Park"?). Not feature rich, thus the rating, but has enough for what it's supposed to do. Comes with a five-language instruction manual with some pretty useful "suggested settings" for playing, kids and total novices especially would apprectiate the booklet.

For the size and price, amazing. This little sucker has no true "clean" sound, since you have to use the gain and volume together to create listenable volume. With the "boost" off you get a sort of blues-voiced mild distortion, depending on where you set the gain and contour -- you can cover British Invasion, Beatles, Who, Stones, etc this way. With "boost" on you get surprisingly responsive distortion tones ranging from AC/DC and Zeppelin (medium gain and medium contour) to Pantera-type mid-scooped crunch (gain all up, contour all off). Within its range, really good sound for a cheap, small, 6.5 inch speakered transisitor practice amp. With a Les Paul you can do metal, thrash, Zeppelin, Bad Co, etc; with a Tele it's Live at Leeds. For distortion and overdriven tones, it gets a 10. For clean, since there really is no true clean but it sounds good at low gain, it gets a 5. For the price, it gets an 8. Average: 7.

For the size and price, seems exceptionally rugged. Heavy cabinet, full-size protectors (which almost look silly) on all corners. The knobs seem to be real Marshall knobs. I'd heard that the last round of Park amps had knob problems, like crackling etc etc. The G10 Mk II amps I looked at all seem first-rate, though several of the larger Park Series combos had some problems, usually just not working at all.

Directly, no idea. Marshall has a terrific web site but I've heard not good things about Korg, the US distributor.

The littlest Marshall has two places in life. For a kid starting out who desperately needs a Marshall 'cause that's all what all his guitar heroes use and whose parents are on a budget. And for someone who needs a small, portable practice amp that can do killer distortion. I've got several guitars including an Epi Les Paul and a Nashville Tele, two real amps (Fender Princeton 112+ and Electar Tube 10), and another practice amp (the battery-powered Vox AC1, which is about the size of an old Walkman and rated at 1 watt). Also a bunch of effects. Basically I wanted a rugged, cheap amp that could go from bedroom to living room to truck to friend's house that sounded good and looked halfway decent too. I admit I wouldn't have bought this amp if it sounded the same, cost the same, but said "Park" on the front. So it's got a vibe factor also. No way could/would this be any adult's only amp, but if you want some great Marshall crunch tones in a teensy package for cheap, check one out. For distortion it actually sounds equal to and is better built than the Marshall VS30R (which is $269, or 3.5 times the price), against which I A/B'd it.
