Park MG100RCD

I play mostly punk, and this amp has pretty much all the features needed for this style of music. It has a clean channel with 2 settings (clean and crunch) and it has a distortion channel with 2 setting (OD1 and OD2) it has spring reverb and a mono effects loop, it comes with a foot switch to switch the channels and reverb. could have a few more bells and whistles but at the price it has enough

I have a DeArmond S-73 with dearmond usa goldtone humbuckers. i could never get a sound out of it that i was happy with. OD1 is for more bluesy rock type stuff, and OD2 is a very unnatural sounding high gain distortion. and when i did happen to get a decent sound out of it, i couldnt get it loud enough to play shows without getting horrible feedback everytime i stop playing for even a second and holding the strings doesnt seem to help ne.

this thing is not very reliable, my treble knob on the clean channel busted right off, and my input jack broke

I havent dealt with the company

I got so fed up with not getting a good out of it and the things breaking that now i just borrow my friends digitech rp2000 and run that into the return jack bypassing preamp all together. which will do till i can afford a JCM 2000 DSL100H

most people buy this amp cause of the price and the marshall sign on the front, but this thing is NOT a marshall. it sounds nothing like a marshall, its not as reliable as a marshall and im pretty sure its not made by marshall, so dont be fooled, if your gonna buy this amp because of the low pricetag and the marshall sign, just save your money for something better.

2 channels, effects loop, headphone jack. I wish the amp had another channel but thats askin too much for such a low price. I use it to practice with a band, it has enough power.

It suits my music style pretty good, the clean channel is horrible at high volumes. The gain is brutal it sounds good when cranked up. The bass is too low, and when cranked too high treble hurts your ears.

I can't depend on it, its a piece of crap. The amp has broken down on me twice in less than a year. Not from neglect just because the amp is built horrible. When played clean loud the amp dies, the fuse blows and you can't acess cause its way inside.

I had it repaired once and I have to take it back again, it was repaired at no charge and under warranty. The warrantys five years.

1999, 2 Overdrive modes, 2 clean modes, footswitch, fx loop, separate EQs for clean and OD, contour, reverb, ect... It's solid state and cheap.

Used a peavey predator (s/s/s) and an Ibanez RX (h/s/h). I play mostly punk, hardcore, metal, etc... and this amp sounds decent in most situations, but I wasn't finding any great sounds. Some GOOD scoped mid type stuff (thanks to the countour knob) but nothing great.

No problems in the month I had it

I've been playing for 4 or 5 years, I've heard better I've heard worse. Cheapest way to get that marshall nameplate on your stack (to impress your friends of course) and it doesn't sound bad, but In the end It just wasn't what I needed.

as far as i know they started making this all transistor line in 1999, it has 2 channels, each with a boost button. it comes with a footswitch, effects loop and you can plug in a cd player to play along...something i'll never use. i got this amp for practice cus it gets hi gain at low volumes. I solo a lot ala john maclaughlin, so it does its job. the channel switching is fine in the sense that you can switch around without the previous channel bleeding through. it is loud enough for practicing and will do for live situations. i think marshall is wising up to the fact that hybrids are just out the window in terms of reliability. for $299, this 100W head is made in the orient, but an unbeatable bargain. i'm really happy with it. it has a laughable reverb that i never plan to mess with. i switch from clean to dirty often and in all honesty, cannot bitch about the channel switching aspect here...much better than fender...which bleeds like hell.

I love the sounds this thing is capable of. it can even cop an Orange OTR sound (I own one). the bass is useless though, it is too low and does not have useable frequencies in the upper registers of the lowend. i turn the middle up quite high and keep the treble low, so I can squeeze through between the bass and cymbals. Mid-scooped settings are not applicable as far as this amp goes when playing with other instruments, and i dont like that sound anyway. Overdrive 1 with gain all the way up is awesome...very gutsy. Overdrive 2 gives you that modern transistor fuzz. as with all marshalls, it is not that loud, and anything beyond volume 5 will probably give you uncontrollable feedback. I play an sg with those gibson pickups, and I dont like replacing pickups so i'll live with it by turning the tone down a bit. it doesnt help much, but it is loud enough for my purposes. I dont understand people who want tube amps to sound all hi-gain, since there always seems to be more sustain in transistor amps. plus solid state tends to mask mistakes when you solo fast, and mesa always reveals all your sloppiness. Use a tube amp for what it's made for..."prettier tones" and 70's rock. Once you get hi-gain, no one cares how pretty your tube amp sounds at that point. no one can tell whether metallica is using tube amps when they hear the recording anyway. I say embrace the artificiality of the transistor amps...i wish amp makers would stop trying to emulate tube sounds with transy amps and exploit solid state technology to produce totally new sounds. to use an analogy, no one would compare a synth to a church organ and bitch about how cold and sterile the synth sounds. Marshall has tried to make this amp to not sound so thin though, and the result is not too bad.

time will tell, so far its ok.

have not dealt with them

been playing for like 18 years, own an sg and a strat. yeah, i would buy this again, its dirt cheap, and considering the old randalls in the 80's that dont sound any better cost 800 bucks at the time, this is a phenomenal deal. to tell the truth i love this amp, there's no ambivalence there. I just wished it did not try so hard to sound like a tube amp. there is potential here for marshall to take a risk and produce something completely radical with solid state.
