    It's hard to find high quality reviews of these lower end amps, so I really applaud you for doing such a great review. I think the amp sounds great for what it is!

    Another great review and comparison.. the SD-1 really helps this SS amp out for sure.. on a budget.. hard to beat.. thanks for bringing this to light here Euge.. !! but the 800 really rocks..

    I owned one of the first generation versions… was very thin but had Marshall character.. The SD1 gives it that sorta extra dimension that it’s missing.

    Thanks for the review. I've a had the MG100HCFX collecting dust for months (came with the Marshall 4x30 cabinet that I "needed") . Just plugged it in and pleased as its a worthy practice amp for hobbyists like myself and you can get these dirt cheap. Thanks for your great content and playing Euge!

    I remember doing a show where another band was using this amp for their tones and it sounded just fine. Like you said - it's a Marshall. 😊 Plus, for a lot of us that do the smaller shows at our local bars this amp is just fine for that stuff. Great video as always!

  • @phatnana2379

    I play in a grind/hardcore/black-metal/power-violence band and use the MG100HCFX... And, honestly, NO JOKE, people ask me OFTEN about it because it sounds so good!
    My distortion is 100% from the amp too! I play a 1991 American Strat Plus that has a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails for the bridge pick-up and top of the line 500k Pots which, admittedly, does a LONG way for how good the amp sounds. As does having both 4x12 cabs on opposite sides of the stage (we don't have a bass player so it's necessary).
    In front of the amp I run a tuner, a Hotone Krush (Bit Crusher), and an MXR Micro Amp (for only a few short Gain boosts for the amps Clean channel in the set).
    Thru the FX-Loop is my board that goes, Saturnworks Volume-Cut pedal, Xotic EP Boost, Boss GE-7, MXR Carbon Copy Delay, Mooer Reecho delay, Earthquaker Devices Avalanche Run reverb/delay (w/Exp Pedal), TC Electronics T2 modulated reverb, and my Lekato Looper... The Avalanche Run also makes anything going thru it sound nice and lush.
    Point is: besides the GUITAR, it's a relatively inexpensive, solid-state rig, considering all it's parts BUT... It is absolutely CRUSHING!! I LOVE this amp!

    Just bought one of these used, off eBay . Ive owned my jcm800 combo since new ( 1983) , but I don’t want to carry it to band practice anymore, so hopefully the 100w fx head will work with the studios 4x12s . Much lighter .. I hope !

    Great video, as a longtime user of this head( and previous version, the gold panel one) I would suggest to crank the used channel volume, in that case the damping button emulates even better the behaviour of a tube amp, anyway a good and affordanle alternative to a much more expensive Marshall tube head

    I love my mg50gfx, I have a Wampler plexi drive deluxe I use through the clean channel with it. Sounds like a Marshall!!! Only thing I hate about is that after I store the preset I like and turn it off and then back on it will sound flat. I think one of the volume knobs has something wrong with it. Have to get it looked at.

    Replaced the TSL with
    The latest MG 100W
    GOLD .
    As it is louder a lot louder.
    As it was £ 500 cheaper

  • @allboutthemojo
    @allboutthemojo 2 роки тому

    Good test Euge. The solid state definitely sounds very different compared to any of the tube amps. To me it sounds more muted, the notes are very rounded ( like highs lows and mids are too even) and almost sound very controlled like it's not able to output the dynamics variations in your playing .
    Would be interesting to see how much an eq and volume control can get it closer to the tube amps
