Park G10R

gain 1 and 2, bass, middle and tone, reverb, master volume, i only use it as a practice amp at home but its pretty hunky dorey. I bought mine second hand for #20! thats about $12 i guess. deal me do

i use a fender strat with mine and it suits my music style perfectly, its a fairly old amp and has a great sound for proper good old punk. The distortion can give a fair bit of backround noise at high levels, but if you tweak the settings around you can get a nice sound for pretty much any style

its about 10 or 15 years old, used to be used by a load of jackasses, and heh, its still alive. pretty reliable

never needed them

rather spiffing, better than my fender practice amp any day, could do with a bit more kick, but what do you expect for a pratice amp this cheap!

This little dynamo has been everything that I wanted a small practice amp to be. It's got an actual reverb box and lots of sound for the buck. I havge miked mine and used it many times for small clubs and have been extrtemely happy with the sound. This is NOT a toy. If anybody is looking for a big hairy-balled monster amp then go out and slap down some cash for a Marshall. I got mine at a pawn shop for $34 US and could hardly stop myself from skipping out the door. Go Park!

I love the sound. Its clean and though only 10 watts has plenty of volume for what I use irt for. Sounds great through a PA. Try it sometime. While those insecure about their manhood are lugging their Stonehenge sized amps around, I'm having a cold one and talking to the girls. Ooooh yeah!

NEVER A PROBLEM! NEVER. Let me spell it out: N - E - V - E - R!

Who needs it?

It's a bad mamma jamma!

I don't know how old this little practice amp is, as I bought it used. It was made in Korea under license by Marshall and puts out 10 watts RMS. Controls are simple...Gain 1, Gain 2, Bass, Mid, Treble, Reverb and a Master Volume. There is just one input and a headphone socket. A CD input would have been nice, but I think that this unit might just pre-date CDs. I bought it to use in my lounge room during TV ads and it soon found its way into my car, on my motorcycle and has been just about everywhere with me. I'm especially impressed by the genuine spring reverb tank in such a little unit. I cannot imagine a practice amp being more versatile that this.

This has a nice, almost-Marshall, creamy, sustained distortion and tone if adjusted right. My Peavey Rage 158 is louder and punchier, but it IS rated at 5 more watts, so you'd expect that. In the tone stakes however, the Park kills the Peavey. I reckon it is so good that I've contemplated miking this into a PA at a gig - what a hoot - 10 watts on stage! My only complaint is that what my Peavey is to treble sound, the Park is to bass. Eg: the Park tends to be a little bassy.

Like I said - this little amp has travelled with me throughout the sub-troics in the boot of my car and in the open on the back of a Harley - and it was posted to me via the general mail. It still rocks. What more can I say?

I've had no call to contact them (I think they might even be out of business), so I just don't know.

For over 35 years I've been collecting gear and playing. I've worked with equipment by Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Marshall, Peavey, Ovation, Washburn, Yamaha, Suzuki, Jade, etc. I would be very unhappy to see this little critter stolen, as I have nothing its size that even comes close to creating the big amp sound it is capable of, albeit at lower volumes.

SS, 8", no power...

I've had the amp for a couple of years now and I'm getting bored.
Small sound. It's a good amp for 14-year olds to practice on but after hearing my friends amps - fender deluxe reverb '66, fender super reverb and quad reverb, marshall bluesbreaker and MK II head, marshall MK II 69' reissue limited edition..... I want a real amp, not a kiddie toy.

Never broken down but I havn't played it
very hard either.

Never needed it repaired.

Boring.

No clue when this was made, think it was 2000, it's really very clean. Basic controls, gain1, gain2, high, middle, bass, reverb, master volume. Input and headphone jack. LOUD!!!! Good Gawd, is it ever loud. As soon as I got it, I tried to blow up the speaker, but couldn't quite. Then I blew a fuse. Replaced it with a slo-blow, no problems.
Then I built a new 1x12, 2x8 cabinet for it. The little sucker DRIVES the hell outta that 12. Blew the 8s immediately, shoulda used crossovers...oh, well. Loud, crisp, lots of bottom, tons of headroom with the 12. Reverb had a broken spring, but I think that helps...adds a little "clangy" quality that works well for the sleaze-loungeabilly stuff I'm playing now...

Using my Voivode Black Spade, basically a 62 silvertone with dual coil-tap humbuckers and no tone controls. Oh, man, does this amp do the job! With the new cab (a 2foot by 2foot combo), it just scorches. If I turn down the second gain stage, I get that kinda solo classic rock breakup that sounds so great if you just stand there and play "Wild Horses" or Concrete Blonde's version of "Simple Twist of Fate". If I had a frickin Strat, I could probably squeeze a really passable "Little Wing" tone out of it, but I hate Strats.At real low volumes because it is a solid state, it will pick up cell phones and AM radio....but that's as noisy as it gets...oh, and I had to beef up my speaker wire, cause it was putting out so much power, it melted the wire that was there! Giving it a 10 because its a 10-watt combo that just kills!

Other than the one fuse, never had a problem with it.

Never had to deal with them, but it's Marshall...

Been playing five years, blah, blah, blah. The amp just plain rocks...as close to tube as SS can get. If lost or whatever, I'd buy three more, and combo em up, maybe wire a couple into a twin,...now that'd be cake.

This is a 10 watt amp with reverb, an 8" speaker, and the basic controls, except that it has to gains and a master instead of one gain. I was looking for a tiny amp for home use with verb so i could just closet my gig amps and use it only for playing out to save room at home. As far as feature go, it depends on what you like as to whether or not it's got enough features. for me it does. The only thing missing is an extention speaker jack, but thats easy to install, and there are even a couple holes in the back panel that are covered by the thin plastic gold cover "plate". so it'll be easy to punch a hole in it for a jack.

1st for the negitive things. The reverb is barely adequate. However, for me this is not a big deal because all i want is a tiny bit of verb, just enough so that it doesn't sound dry. Any very obvious amount will result in a "boingy" sound thats worse than no reverb at all. I tried the tank from another amp and it sounded much better. So if you can find a tank that'll fit this small amp, the reverb will sound better, assuming of course that it's a good tank.
The other negitive is the high gain distortion is a bit buzzy. one way around this is to set it lower and boost it with a clean boost pedal. Then you get the same hi gain w/o the buzzy sound.

Other than that i was surprized at the sound quality of this thing. I generally use a clean boost anyway, so that buzziness isn't a concern. The clean sounds are as good as i could ever imagine from a cheap little amp like this. Actually much better ! In fact, it has the kind of tweakability that allows everything from classic rock to heavy to clean tones, and other than the aformentioned buzziness at hi gain settings, they all sound quite impressive. even that buzzy hi gain sound can be tamed to a large degree with the treble control, tho the boost method i mentioned is better.
The little 8" speaker is great. NO complaints there at all. And for volume, GEEEEEZ!! I'm amazed at how loud this thing is. The speaker is of course not capable of gig volumes w/o blowing i'm sure, but i'll bet that plugged into a cabinet you could gig with this thing. I tuned my marshall up to the settings i use at gigs, and compared it to the park for volume. Turning the park up all the way was close ! and with a cab i'm sure it would have been there. That blows my mind. How they got this kind of volume from an amp with one small output transistor [i opened it and it's true!] is beyond me.

so overall i have to say that i'm much more than satisfied with this amp. I tried others but this one had more tonal versatility and better sound than most. I gave it a 9 because it's definatly not the best amp in the world, but for what it is it goes far beyond what i expected. I even like it more than my gig amps, a marshall jubilee and a pv classic 30, for practice at home. You can feel the solid stateness of it, but you can't really hear it except at high gain settings.

I'm sure that it'll be dependable, with one exception. All cheap little amps like this have cheap pots that are soldered to the board and not harnessed well. I bought it used and a few pots were bad so i had to clean them. They usually crack at the solder joints because of the construction, but this one only had dirty pots. But i suspect one way or another these amps will all have one problem or the other with the pots. Not a big deal to me, as i can fix them in minites, but for some it may be a problem.

who knows

I'm a geezer who's been gigging regularly for 20 years now, and i've had a ton of amps. If this amp were 50 watts i believe i could gig with it w/o being unhappy with the tone, and thats saying a lot because i'm very picky about tone. But it's real purpose is at home, and for that it's a real safe bet. I don't even know if they still make them, but if you can find one,and you like marshall type tone, and you like the kind of tone that responds well to the guitar's volume knob and your playing technique, this amp will accomodate you nicely.
I gave it a 10 because for the money it would be hard to beat, and i'm 100% satisfied even with it's small faults. It's better than i'd have expected for a pocket change amp. And hell yea i'd buy it again !!

Single Channel,solid state, 10W, Gain1, Gain2, Bass, Treble, Mid, Master Volume, Reverb, Headphone out...Cool Marshall look...with the same type of knobs and grille, a line output would've been an added bonus...but for a practice amp its one of the best around..u can even take it to a gig...

I am using a Japanese copy of strat. mostly play 80's heavy metal...Iron Maiden etc..Cleans are cool with the reverb...its fine as long as u r playing with a little crunchy diastortion..but the heavy distortion sounds a little too fuzzy & unnatural...quiet unlike what i had expected...but with my own made Shred master it kicks ass...My settings are Gain 1 = 8, Gain2=0, Bass=6, Mid=5, Treb=10, Reverb=5,Master=depends on the situation. with the mid at loww settings it gets aggressive..good for metal & hard rock tones if u r using a distortion pedal...its own distortions are good for blues & grunge..but for the price this thing is god's gift to mankind

Man, its a Marshall product.

never, they aren't around here in Pakistan

I've been playing for 4 years.havent got much equipment...most of my equipment is my ouwn made..like the TS-9, Shred Master etc.
it wouldnt get stolen.i keep it tied to me...I love its look..and the compactness.such a small monster..

Nice practice amp. Single Channel, 1 Input, Master Volume, Gain 1, Gain 2, 3 Band EQ, Reverb, Headphone Output. Specs at 10 watts. Gain adjustments allow a broad variety of voicings, 3 band EQ works well, rich deep reverb. Quite a variety of sounds available by tweeking the controls.

Mostly use a Strat with single coil pickups. For it's size, weight, and price I am impressed with the flexability of the G10R. Plenty of volume for household practice and good variety of sounds when Gains and reverb are tweeted.

Have had one problem with this amp. The master volume pot quit working, went to max volume regardless of where the pot was turned. Removed the defective pot, cleaned it up and reinstalled...working since then. Other than that have had no problems in 5 years.

Haven't dealt with them, so can't give a reasonable response.

I had no experience with any other amps prior to getting this one, since then have owned other amps, and this amp sounds nearly as good to me as one (Fender Champ 12 Tube Amp) and better than most of the other small solid state amps I've owned since (Crate, other Fenders, Gorilla). Just took up amplified guitar about 5 years ago, prior to that played acoustic only (40 years), so don't have extensive knowledge of what a "good" amp is, but this little amp certainly sounds very good to me. If it were lost or stolen, I probably wouldn't replace it, not that this is a bad amp, but I'm getting into tube amps and their sound. I am fortunate that this amp was recommended to me as a first amp for my entry into amplified guitar, it certainly sounds good and has a broad range of sounds available.

i love this amp. its the first one i ever got, i used it as a bass amp for a long time. i was busting fuses like mad so i just stuck a screw in the socket. problem solved. its been there for well over three years and ive had no problems. i did eventually switch to guitar though. do wish it had a line out though. has a headphone jack and an 8" speaker.

the clean chanel is poo, but the blues tones and just plain nasty distortion are amazing. its got that heavy broken up fuzz but still has string definition. its solid state so its not very noisy. its very loud, i hooked it up to two twelve inch speakers and it made the windows rattle. its got an okay reverb. i took off the rubber washers and screwed it tight to the chasis to get the cabinet vibrations in there too.

if i didnt play bass through it, i probably wouldnt have blown all those fuses. but for some reason i think the screw helped the sound. ive never had any major problems with it though. and ive even kicked the crap out of it.

hells if know
i know they're a division of marshall

ive had it for almost seven years and its held up good. i saw a two channel, 1x12 version that i think im going to buy. i have a blue voodoo 2x12 combo, a rivera m100 head but this is still my favorite amp.
