...reliable friends. They recommended the Marshall MG series, the only Solid-State Amps made by Marshall (except AVT hybrids). These huge-ass practice amps are made for the guitarist on the verge of the intermediate standard but not quite as confident as he/she wants.
I looked on GuitarAmpKeyboard.com for the MG Series and was pleased with what my young eyes saw. A perfectly decent, 30 watts of amazing guitar tone with a CD input to plug CD players, ... ...to the overdrive channel." - Marshall MG 30DFX Owners Manual
-Clean Channel
A lush crisp acoustic or blunt tone can be gained from this, turning up the BASS gives the sound a depth to it, and when used with the FDD button (Frequency Dependent Damping) it can give a valve-like tone. The treble control gives the sounds a crisp lightening up and brightens it up, sometimes over crispy and too cutting.

A great sound for hard rock ...

Advantages: Quality amp, especially at this price Disadvantages: Lack of footswitch and cable
I bought my Marshall MG 30 DFX from my local music store for 130 GBP. I was looking for an amp that would have a good sound at low volume levels for practicing, so a 'digital' amp would do the trick. I had the option of upgrading to the next model up, the MG 50 but I didn't think I would need this much power for just a practice amp, so I saved myself some cash and went with the MG 30.
The amp looks really good, like a mini version of a half stack ... ...nice speaker below, bearing the Marshall logo. I think it really looks the part and has pride of place in my bedroom where it lives. The dials are well spaced and easy to understand, there aren't that many, so fiddling about with them to get a sound you like isn't that hard.
The amp has two channels, clean and overdrive. You can switch channels by using the channel switch on the amp, or use a footswitch. You don't get a footswitch with it, so if ...

Advantages: Good for beginners, cheap, good starter amp. Disadvantages: You will find yourself wanting more after having it for awhile.
First off, I'll list the features:
Twin footswitchable channels - Clean and Overdrive
Independent tone controls for Bass and Treble on each channel
Contour Control for dramatic mid sweep and "scooping"
Emulated Line Out jack and Headphone jack
CD input which allows you to play along to your favorite discs
Built-in Digital Effects - Reverb, Chorus, Flange, and Delay
10" custom-voiced speaker
FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) Right, here we ... ...around £120. The best advice I can give with regards to purchasing it is to shop online, it's a factory standard amp so it doesn't matter where you get it from.
In my opinion, this amp is only really useful for those people who having been playing for a year or less. It's perfectly fine for a beginner, you'll find that you can get some great tones out of it, whether on the clean channel or with distortion. It's almost a plug-and-play guitar, you ...

Advantages: portable, loud indoors (and out) 2 channels, affordable Disadvantages: wont gig on its own, only one effect useable at a time
...enjoyed owning and using the Marshall and its effects, it could also do with another input channel for when a mate comes round for a jam, you could really annoy the neibours.
All In all , I fully reccommend this product (or mostly anything by Marshall) as a high quality practice amp.
I remember when I first started playing electric guitar for the same price you'd get a nasty sounding 10W amp that hissed and spat at you if you tried to make it distort. ...

Quick review of Marshall MG 30 DFX
I don't own one of these personally but my school do, and i play it alot. It has a very good, warm clean tone, and the great overdrive of Marshall we all know and love. It would be better, however if it had mid tone controls ...

Advantages: Cheap and loud Disadvantages: lacks a real something, uninspiring tone
...awesome. It didn't recreate the marshall tone of my heroes. It didn't have any edge.
This amp is fine for a beginner. When you can just about play something, any sound is good enough. But i bet as you get better, this amp will soon because tiresome, because it doesn't highlight your technique. Presonally, I would buy something like a Line 6 Spider, a Roland Cube 30, and i would try the Marshall Hybrid AVT 20, to see if it fits the bill. A fine beginners ...
