Marshall MS-4

I've had the MS-4 for almost a year now. I only use it when I'm alone coz it's distortion is quite weak and its only purpose is for exercising riffs and scales. I can't see myself playing on this thing in front of people coz it's embarrassing. If you want to turn the volume down you lose the gain as if you switched to a clean channel. Not quite practical but it's ok for the price.

To be honest, I expected a better quality from something with "Marshall" engraved on it but otherwise for its price it does the job...If it doesn't malfunction after several uses...

Compared to other mini-amps, the MS-4 was a bit of a letdown. Clean channel is ok, but overdrive sounds very cheap. The amp has great aesthetics, looks charming and it is light, but sound and feature wise it was very lacking.

I bought this with the idea to use it with my Fender Stratocaster HSS for quiet playing and my Gibson J-45 Standard with Boss RC-500. However I expect more power and if you give more input from the instrument it starts to distort the sound. It could be only me, but I really think this can be done better.

its ok for practise but for its price the sound is poor for my taste ..........

I use this personally for a decorative use on my desktop and sometimes plug my guitar in because the sound isn't that good but that's a given I guess.. looks cool though.
