If you have some experiences with Marshall's lower wattage MG series amps, these are really entry level units with a limited tonal offering but lots of attraction due to its mere brand name. I feel that on the solidstate front, one is better off with a Peavey amp (subject to taste, of course...) but the MG15 MSII is something different when it comes to tone.
The MG15 MSII or the micro stack as it's often referred to, indeed hails from the manufacturer's MG series but it's a real stack mind you; head + a pair of 1x10 cab. The tonal diff here (to the discerning ears) is mainly attributable to the cabs' closed back nature. You might think that it's a petty difference but that's how tone speaks- through subtle differences in features.
Heard from this amp are the more commanding bottom end, both in the clean/ driven modes which makes this amp more enjoyable- honest! If there is too much upper midrange/ treble, even a full-blown half stack would sound tranny & repulsive.
So for those of you looking for an above-average Marshall without selling a kidney, the micro stack is recommended.
