Selling: Marshall MG10


This amp was actually reserved for an acquaintance who wished to buy it for her spouse but they have other plans this December... So I'm letting it go for $85 if you are interested. Otherwise, do tell me why I should let you have it for a lesser selling price.

Rooting the MG

 
Had a great time with my Marshall MG10 & Grass Roots G-LP-50S. I lowered the guitar's action slightly but I am still unaccustomed to the .010 set of strings in there. Playing time was an endurance act, really, but the tone & neck profile of this guitar made me play on. The MXR Distortion + plugged into this amp also helped me maintain clarity throughout, especially when the neck humbucker is in use.There's no delicious LP-type tone to be heard, it's what I like to hear; lots of Marshall growl & individual note clarity. In fact, had some serious shredding going on & the picking hand gave in to lethargy & quasi-cramps on a few occasions. Nevertheless, a very satisfying day with some budget equipment in my possession.

MGSZR

It's my MG10 & SZR520 all morning. Great grizzly tone coming from this combo, acquired taste to everyone else of course.

Ok, afternoon siesta calling me...

MG10 & Distortion +

Was playing guitar for almost the whole day yesterday, my amp remained to be the MG10 for all guitars.

I thought the TS7 made a nice contribution in kicking up more dirt with this little amp but I just had to try MXR's Distortion + with it. This yellow pedal reinforced the Marshall voicing much to my liking. I didn't hear this with the bigger Marshalls I own, it all boils down to the driver in use, I guess.

Mighty small


Bought a small practice amp; Marshall's MG10...

Replaced the 2-pin plug to the 3-pin version.

Grass MG

 
It was my Grass Roots singlecut & my MG10 yesterday, played for hours. Despite the MG10 churning out top end excess, the amp's default distortion & my MXR Distortion + pedal did the job well to maintain single note clarity throughout. The Grass Roots had a set of .010s in there, I lowered the action a little bit & it was endurance play as I am not accustomed to this string gauge. I won't replace them that soon as they are still fresh, would do so after some wear.
