![]() This item is being sold as is, no returns. Local pick up would be ideal if your near the Pittsburgh, PA area. The new equivalent retails for about $600 so I'm selling it for $500 or best offer. It served me well over the years.Įverything functions perfectly, I also have the original Marshall MG foot-switch. I've seen older ones from the 60's sell for $20,000 or more, but they were tube amps and this is not.Įither way it's a great mid range amp that someone will be very happy with. I don't know how much it will increase in value over time because of the special edition. I'm selling it because a few years ago I upgraded to a Blackstar HT Club 50 half stack for some I never turned the volume past 5 because I was only using it in my home. Other than light cosmetic imperfections the amp is flawless and all the electronics work perfectly. Unfortunately it has a few small dings/tears in the tolex from one of the times it was moved. The Marshall MG100HDFX is a high-powered solid state guitar head with built-in digital effects and classic Marshall tone, perfect for the intermediate. It was never gigged, only left my house two times. You can confirm that with Marshall off the serial number on the back under the input jack (see photo). Top right I present my personally built a complete hand wired take on the Marshall JCM800 circuit 2204. Today I completed and I have waited years to build this amplifier. There were only 400 ever made in this color. My collection of personally built amplifiers. I jumped on it so I could have the full set. I didn't like the Line 6 Head and when I returned it to the store they had just gotten the matching red Marshall Mg head in. I originally bought a Line 6 spider 3 head and the red cabinet. These special edtion amps were didn't come in a set, you had to find the head and matching cabinet. The cabinet is an Marshall 412A Slant cabinet. But you can do a lot better.This is a Special Edition Marshall MG100HDFX Half Stack from 2006. And maybe if you just need something sort of loud and you can find it for less than $300 used maybe it will work. I think if you're down with the really bad metal guitar sound (way too much gain, no mids), you can probably deal with this thing. The other guitar player still plays on the MG100HDFXs and it's an indistict to shrilly blur. My guitars sound pretty good through it and the band can hear me. I ended up picking up a Katana head (about $300) to slap on this when I'm in the space (will fit in a large backpack). Somebody might be able to find the right pedal to put in front of it I couldn't. The clean channel seems okay if that's what you're into. And no matter the EQ tweaking, whoever is playing on that amp is not able to cut through the mix with the bass and drummer until you're melting everybody's ears with nasty, loud garbage. So you crank up the gain and you just get a cacophony of dissonant garbage. It's that weird deal where at lower settings it doesn't have enough gain but is somehow just really nasty and hissy. The overdrive channel on this thing is atrocious. I'm pretty good about just finding a reasonable setting on an any non-terrible amp and going with it. The other guitar player in my band always plays on these at the practice space with his LTDs (including one with EMGs). I tried making this head work with my Gibson SGs (490t, 498t pickups), my Les Paul (498t), or my Yamaha Revstar. Just show up and plug in, right? Not for me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly every one of their rooms have these heads with the usual 4x12 Marshall cab that is sold with them. Keep in mind that I'm not a fancy equipment guy my current main amp is a Fender Mustang GT 100 combo. ![]()
