Marshall MS-4 Micro Stack

The MS4 is a MS2 but twice the size. You can have the full Marshall "Stack" in your house for a great value price. This practice amp sounds really superb and it gives great tone and clarity. With the Pre-Amp Gain added as well, you can also get brilliant distortion effects. Great for solos etc. All in all this amp ROCKS!

This unit is so neat you almost want to buy one for every room of the house! OK, let's get serious. The gain is weak, as other reviewers have said. If it had a little more gain, and reverb (how much would that cost to throw in? not too much), it would be awesome. Now it's ok for whatever most people would use it for (if they didn't just use it as a knick-knack), such as in a car, a park, or during a blackout! It's as loud as I would expect, and will allow me to practice up anywhere I desire. It's a novelty not to be outdone! Considering what you can get a Fender Frontman DSP amp for money wise, like I said, it should have better gain and some reverb. But I'm happy to have exchanged my $$$ for it and would suggest you do the same if you need to practice on the run or in the park. Now, here's the weird part. I set my guitar on the floor, and next thing you know I hear music coming from the amp! It was a radio station! I'm no electrical engineer, but perhaps the cord could have been acting as an antenna? But then why doesn't that happen with regular amps? It wasn't loud, and didn't impair the function (when I turned the guitar volume back up I couldn't hear it anymore), but was strange. Anybody who knows about this stuff feel free to e-mail me. One last thing, although it says it can be powered by battery or mains, the product DOES NOT come with the converter to do so.

amazing not-so-mini amp for practicing

This little Marshall amp is great. I Play mostly AC/DC and BLACK SABBATH and this amp good for that classic rock and metal. One thing about this amp is that it can get loud for a 4 watt,and its great for on the road or just traveling.

This does the trick for portable jamming or anything in that area. Its no Marshall stack but its a great practice amp.
