Watching your fingers on the fret board flowing effortlessly it is clear your muscle memory is now so advanced that you can just play what's in your head without restriction and it really shows. Such flowing and soaring soloing is beautiful to listen to and very Jimi like but definitely in your own style not his. Great amp but transcends in the hands of a master - that will be Dave Simpson then !
I like how it goes from crystal clean, to gritty distortion. For classic rock or crunch tones people don't realize how good some solid states or vr amps sound
I can't believe I've had this amp for over 15 years. Recently got a Boss MK2 and have been playing around with that for like 6 months. And then I find your channel, that I've come across before, and my what I thought was a shitty Marshall amp is actually capable of those sounds. You've reinvigorated my love for this amp.
I have that head on top of a 1960A cab. It's amazing how many sounds you can get out of it. I have a notebook I use to write down the settings when I find one I like because if I don't, then I'll never find it again. Rugged and reliable, mine has been beat around for years and still kicking it.
I have 2 MG100HDFX heads with the urge to hoard more lol!! They really are amazing. They used to get so much hate but it was all unjustified. People are now finding out how good they are.
A lot of guitar players unfortunately are braindead meatheads who once they buy a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier or something similar feel like they have to shit on any amp under $1000 or any Solid State amp because they think that makes them a true guitar player but it doesn't obviously lol.
That intro is still so Awesome I have showed that to everybody!.. And you sold me on that head i had bought the cabinets from a pawn shop for $300 {killer deal} like brand new.. and that's how i found your channel. I was researching for a week or so to find/ figure out what head would be best to go on my stack...I Frickin Love it!! And Your buddy was right.. You never go back.. I can't believe it took me so long figure it out .. Great Video, Great Guitar Work.. Thanks Brother..
I just love my MG15dfx. I play it as often as my jcm800 and jvm410. It feels awesome that you just turn it on and can play instantly. The tone is magical with the 80s heavy metal characters, especially when you add in a bit of onboard reverb or delay.
Dave, just picked up the MG100HDFX because of you!! Love it. Used your settings !! Love them. Best $160 USD I ever spent. They just happened to have a GUV NOR also , bought it. Love it . Thanks for being Dave !!
I’ve had 2 for a few years and still enjoy them along with a vs100-which I feel does the hair metal thing a little better. My first mg100 blew the output board because like a dummy I had my cab wired wrong. Bought a new board off of eBay and she lives again. Thank you Dave for opening my eyes to this amp
I picked on up after your vids for $50 works perfect with a foot switch as well... My old fender 212 can't keep up! Very happy. Great pedal platform as well
Thanks for all the information on this amp Dave,because of the inspiration you’ve given me over the years,I’ve heeded you’re advice and pulled the trigger on one I’ve sourced locally on marketplace for £60.I feel that a new chapter in my guitar playing obsession is about to happen,cheers dude!🎶😎
Dave i just managed to change the noisy fan on mine , cost a fiver from the bay , now works like a dream no more mooing fan its easy do , there is a youtube vid on it too . .oh yeh and i put small casters on the bottom of the speaker cab , so now im all set . all the best to you .
Great playing! Like to see people making this amp sound so good....refreshing! Tired of all the JCM 800 vids. You make this amp sound good!!! Keep on rocking and cheers from Los Ángeles 👌
Great to see you making another video about the MG100HDFX, you really make these amps sing Dave. I think you make your best sounds when playing these particular amps. I would never sell mine either.
Hey ! Ho! I've been watching this vid for three years & wanting this amp as long. Today I finally got what I was waiting for, which was a PURPLE one! Now I just hope it ships safely. Good Gravy!!!
I slapped my new goodgravy sticker on the side of my DS100 and turned it on for the first time today. it made the moo cow noise, I couldn’t help but chuckle! Thank you for the videos davey
This my kind of playing Dave,love it.Bought two of these amps because of you plus different pedals,have to stop watching your costing me a fortune ( only joking) keep it up. Les Wynn
DAAAAAAAAAMN THAT WAS EMOTIONAL PLAYING BROTHER!!!!! I BELIEVE YOU JUST TOOK ALL YOUR EMOTIONS AND ANGER REGARDING THE COPYRIGHT CLAIMS AND PUT IT IN TO THAT JAM BROTHER!!
Hey Dave! I just found this video here, and HAD TO TELL YOU ( though many other people have also told you ) : / THAT INTRO INSTRUMENTAL SHOULD FOR SALE! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! AND I PERSONALLY WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO JOE SATRIANI TELLING HIM HE SHOULD HAVE YOU CAMEO ON ONE OF HIS TOURS JUST TO PLAY THAT SONG!! : ) IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD! ALL THE BEST.. " CHEERS"
I had the MG15DFX combo for the longest time and traded or sold it along the way and wish I still had it. I've always wanted one of the half stacks with MG100DFX. Or a full stack with two B cabinets lol
Now hear this! The passion and emotion in this guys playing demonstrating a amplifier is what all these UA-cam guitarists lack in reference to MUSIC IS WIN” yes all these people can play, but it’s so robotic and lifeless! And these guys like fluff from beards and gear, all they care about is whatever famous guitarist is using and how this sounds etc, misleading people to buy products they don’t need! It doesn’t matter what name is on the product, it’s about the player! Hats off to you my friend! You have my subscription!!!!
Dave, you inspire all players to love there solid states. Great job. I haven't played this amp, but I can say that I do love my Orange CR60. Really enjoyed the video. Also your recording seems to be getting better.
I picked up one of these Marshall MG100HDFX heads today at a GC used in very good condition for 150 bucks. I have seen them before but never plugged into one. As I was looking around today I heard someone jamming and liked the tone, it was coming from this head into a 1960 4x12 cab. I waited for him to finish, grabbed an HSS Strat and plugged in. I was VERY impressed. All the talk about the Boss Katana MK2 which I also own (100w head) and nothing about this hidden gem. Its always about the Marshall CODE which I absolutely dislike. Although its not fair to compare the Katana to the MG as they are different amps IMO. The Marshall MG sounds like a Marshall DSL, 800, 900 and Plexi with different Contour and channel settings, its very versatile to say the least. The MG is not an extreme high gain head which the Katana can do by using the software, its just a great Marshall tone. I was also very impressed with the clean channel. Its just a great sounding Marshall tone amp and as you said...very easy to dial in a great tone.
I have to say Dave the intro song to this video is amazing, you should slowly work on a solo LP the notes in the solos work perfect 👌 bottle it and sell it, add the slide jam on the album as well 🤟👻. Re-edit add all the Jams you play on this video
I just picked up an MG 100HDFX head and am very pleased with it. I agree that the emulated out sounds fantastic. I also wish that Marshall would have implemented the option of switching between the four distinctive sounds. Great playing as always Dave. Peace.
Hi Dave, how are you feeling at the moment? I hope you are dealing with all that comes your way, and remember that we all love you out here. I have just bought the HDFX on your recommendation, the older type like you have, not the newer one. £105 with £6.99 postage, from Richtone Music in Sheffield. As I am in Surrey, there was no way I was going to drive up there to collect it. Anyway, have a great weekend, Dave. :-) x
The early fans didn't have a proper main bearing at the end of the main shaft the blades are on and when the plastic housing wears the fan wobbles in and out off balace hence the dying cow sound effects later fans were pc fans that had an integrated bearing bush so were much quieter . Really need to get me one of those FA Guitar cabs Flexi Heads but then i get a hankering for a Bluesfaker oh the agony of choice ! I never ever use reverb , have 2 delays one is an always on set single repeat and slightly longer than slapback , not noticable in effect until you turn it off. Acts as a sound thickener and well worth a try in lieu of reverb for a more subtle but very effective alternative .
Double strap means business!! Also,. LOVE MY MG100 HDFX SOOOO MUCH!!!! Got it local head and cab for 200$USD :D Love it. Thank you for the inspiration and love of the guitar!! Dave, what kind of Zoom camera do you use? Do you plug the SM57 lead into the zoom camera?
Indeed it does. hahaha. :) I'm trying to keep some of the weight off my left shoulder as recently I am really struggling standing up and playing. Thank you very much for watching and so happy you love your MG. I use a Zoom Q8 and the mic does plug straight into the camera yeps. : )
I feel kinda stupid not having thought of this before 😂 my spine actually grew in somewhat of a spiral shape... Very slightly but of course enough to really mess me up if I sit or sleep in a wrong position for a long time... Already moving on to Danelectros for the light weight and headless guitars for the light weight and ergonomics... But this might help too I'm keeping my D'Angelico 335 copies because they're not THAT heavy but unfortunately there's no use in keeping anything else 😪 guitars shouldn't be wallhangers and move on to someone who plays them... But you know... Sentimental value and all that
OK. So how do I NOT sub after an intro like that!!? Been trying to figure out what guitar to buy after I stopped playing for like 9 yrs. Watching all these guitar reviews & then your vid plays next! Love the improv... got any suggestions? I'm eyeing an '86 Fender HSS w/Sys 3 trem. I play heavy blues, metal , fingerstyle, classic rock... a bit of everything really. What do you think?
man that opening instrumental track solo is very mind blowing...feels like the Maggot brain John fruciente vibe there... Is there any proper official mp3 track that I can listen to the song?
Please someone help me out. I'm thinking about a valvestate vs 100 with a lead900 cab. Do the cleans compare to the mg and what do you think about the cleans, I have a combo vs30 and love it so anybody know if they re similar? Thank you so much
I looking at a purple one of these later today. Bass on 10? That seems really high, right? I mean, usually that makes Marshalls (the ones that I have) really bassy. Do you balance it with an EQ or does the MG do something different with Bass than say an Origin or DSL or JCM 900 studio?
Dave, Awesome playing and video as always! How does the MG compare in the mystic world of feedback as compared to a Plexi? Will it do the intro to Foxy Lady or the Star Spangled Banner, etc. of course with a Fuzz Face but will it also feed back like a proper cranked tube Marshall? Thanks, All the best!! GM
Great vid dave, i love my mg 102 fx combo, can you not use the footswitch to change between all 4 channels as i can with mine (2 way foot switch) you just press the footswitch pedal twice to cycle between them
Thats actually one of my songs. :) There just basic pentatonic licks from people like Jimi Hendrix and Mike McCready. Best way to learn is to figure as many classic blues rock solos out as you can and create a little library in your head of your favourites : )
Hey Dave, quite late for that question but its regarding the settings on the OD1 channel. In your other review of the MG you have totally different settings compared to the ones in this vid. Which ones are the "real deal" (if there is one). I dialed in your settings of this video and I hear a significant drop in volume if I change from clean to OD1. Is that normal or is it just my MG? Btw: Best 150€ I spent on the MG head and the 4x12 cab. Greetz form Germany, love your videos so inspiring, keep up the amazing work - Jay
Are these bigger cases custom made or plexi empty cases - something like that ? Also have three MGs. Never loved an amp like these. Played and owned a lot (tube,hybrid,etc). Great sounding, no tube problems live, no heavy lifting. Best!
Hi Dave, how are you??? Quick question, just got one of these and can't seem to be able to get the effects working.. do I need a footswitch to engage them??? Thank you for all your support!!!
I am very well thank you. How are you? You should be able to get them working without a footswitch and if you can't then you might want to get the amp looked at. : )
MrHinkey hey man, might be a dumb question but I just had ordered this rig and I was wondering, can it get some good like Slash/bluesy rock type tones with it?
@@lainleddy8421 Damn, good to hear man! Would love to hear some of your playing, I'm a fairly new player so I'm always looking for opportunities to see other people play.
Great reviews and videos @davesimpson. But i need help. Ive been offered the same marshall head for under £100 but was soon to buy the katana 100 combo. I will only use at home so which one is most suitable, any advice appreciated. I know katana smaller and sounds awsome but always wanted a marshall set up, but thinking marshall will be too big/loud at home. But really tempted at the price... Help
@@thedavesimpson many thanks for the reply. The head is £72 so really too cheap to pass up so I'll go for it. Could you reccomend a 2 x 12 cab for this head? A 4x12 will be too large in my room i think. Cheers 👍
Oswald guitars should have a David Simpson signature Stratocaster, I'd buy one!
Gary Graves I said the same thing a few videoed ago but about revelation!
Out of curiosity if you remember, how much gain did you need through my MG when you used it?
I’d also buy one if I could afford one!
@@dylanclancy5396 I'm pretty sure David would insist on them being affordable & of good quality!
Yeah come on master Nick let’s have a Dave Simpson strat!!!
This guy makes every amp sound great. His videos put every wannabe player to shame on youtube.
Watching your fingers on the fret board flowing effortlessly it is clear your muscle memory is now so advanced that you can just play what's in your head without restriction and it really shows. Such flowing and soaring soloing is beautiful to listen to and very Jimi like but definitely in your own style not his.

I’m never disappointed with this dudes videos. He’s ridiculously talented.

That intro is off the chart. I been listing to it every day for a week now. You make that Strat sing Beautifully. Like a Angel . JUST WOW...

NO!!! THEY SUCK!!! ( stop telling everyone how good they are or the price will go up!!! ) 😮
Dave...you are a bloody legion mate!!! Love the videos, the playing, the commentary and the sense of humor!!! Keep it up.
Thank you very much. : )
Nice video
Nice amp
Nice playing
Nice person
Nice shirt

God, what an incredible guitarist you are.
Love the intro song. I've been playing it on loop for about an hour. Amazing playing sir.
I’ve had 2 for a few years and still enjoy them along with a vs100-which I feel does the hair metal thing a little better. My first mg100 blew the output board because like a dummy I had my cab wired wrong. Bought a new board off of eBay and she lives again. Thank you Dave for opening my eyes to this amp

Thank you very much for watching and i am very sorry to your bank account. :)
I really enjoyed your playing.
Good job
That’s really nice. Has a bit of a Buckethead influence.
That's how you start a vid, outstanding 😊
You play amazing!
DAAAAAAAAAMN THAT WAS EMOTIONAL PLAYING BROTHER!!!!! I BELIEVE YOU JUST TOOK ALL YOUR EMOTIONS AND ANGER REGARDING THE COPYRIGHT CLAIMS AND PUT IT IN TO THAT JAM BROTHER!!
Thank you very much. : )

Only one word: AWESOME ! ☺️
Thank you very much. : )
You r welcome - thank you for your great vids and that you share your art with us!
Great video on a great solid state amp!!!!!!!
Thank you. : )
I had the MG15DFX combo for the longest time and traded or sold it along the way and wish I still had it. I've always wanted one of the half stacks with MG100DFX. Or a full stack with two B cabinets lol
Gold just pure gold👏👏👏🙏
Thank you very much. : )
Loved this solo/ melody!! thanks for making it. I hope you recorded it as an MP3 I would buy it!!!
Thank you very much and I will release it at some point. : )

Thank you very much. : )
I re watch just for inspiration, thanks Dave
Your amazing!!
Thank you very much. :)
Well... shit dude... that intro was an epic journey! Absolutely fantastic \m/ \m/
Dave, you inspire all players to love there solid states. Great job. I haven't played this amp, but I can say that I do love my Orange CR60. Really enjoyed the video. Also your recording seems to be getting better.
Thank you very much. : )
Yep, watching dave has 1 saved me a shit load of cash and 2 cost me a small fortune by buying very cheap gear on marketplace
Very good the intro and the song on 27 min beginning...
Thank you. : )
Man U are Awesome!!!!!
this opening is Frusciante level! Damn dude, you nailin it hard! What pick ups are in that Strat? Beautiful sound that doesn't cease!
Tex mex pickups.
I picked up one of these Marshall MG100HDFX heads today at a GC used in very good condition for 150 bucks. I have seen them before but never plugged into one. As I was looking around today I heard someone jamming and liked the tone, it was coming from this head into a 1960 4x12 cab. I waited for him to finish, grabbed an HSS Strat and plugged in. I was VERY impressed. All the talk about the Boss Katana MK2 which I also own (100w head) and nothing about this hidden gem. Its always about the Marshall CODE which I absolutely dislike. Although its not fair to compare the Katana to the MG as they are different amps IMO. The Marshall MG sounds like a Marshall DSL, 800, 900 and Plexi with different Contour and channel settings, its very versatile to say the least. The MG is not an extreme high gain head which the Katana can do by using the software, its just a great Marshall tone. I was also very impressed with the clean channel. Its just a great sounding Marshall tone amp and as you said...very easy to dial in a great tone.
I have to say Dave the intro song to this video is amazing, you should slowly work on a solo LP the notes in the solos work perfect 👌 bottle it and sell it, add the slide jam on the album as well 🤟👻. Re-edit add all the Jams you play on this video
I love this amp soooooooooo much its my first big amp when I was a 19 I save money all summer long to buy this amp with a 4x10 1965a cab for 420.00
I have the mg15cfx and it's a great amp. It's so hard to find a solid state amp that does the crunch and distortions well.
Awesome playing mate, I'm inspired, section at 37:00 onwards is Brilliant!
Thank you. :)
Hell Ya!
Fantastic
A highly Daveularically Simpsonian video and very good fun it was.
Thank you. : )
I finally figured out who you’re playing. Remind me of Pink Floyd.
Love double straps simply can’t play without one these days, try out the GRUV gear neo or duostrap it’s huge and chunky compared to other brands
Yas!
amazing
Thank you. :)
I just picked up an MG 100HDFX head and am very pleased with it. I agree that the emulated out sounds fantastic. I also wish that Marshall would have implemented the option of switching between the four distinctive sounds. Great playing as always Dave. Peace.

The early fans didn't have a proper main bearing at the end of the main shaft the blades are on and when the plastic housing wears the fan wobbles in and out off balace hence the dying cow sound effects later fans were pc fans that had an integrated bearing bush so were much quieter .

I never ever use reverb , have 2 delays one is an always on set single repeat and slightly longer than slapback , not noticable in effect until you turn it off. Acts as a sound thickener and well worth a try in lieu of reverb for a more subtle but very effective alternative .
Double strap means business!! Also,. LOVE MY MG100 HDFX SOOOO MUCH!!!! Got it local head and cab for 200$USD :D
Love it.
Thank you for the inspiration and love of the guitar!!
Dave, what kind of Zoom camera do you use? Do you plug the SM57 lead into the zoom camera?
Indeed it does. hahaha. :) I'm trying to keep some of the weight off my left shoulder as recently I am really struggling standing up and playing.
Thank you very much for watching and so happy you love your MG.
I use a Zoom Q8 and the mic does plug straight into the camera yeps. : )
I feel kinda stupid not having thought of this before 😂 my spine actually grew in somewhat of a spiral shape... Very slightly but of course enough to really mess me up if I sit or sleep in a wrong position for a long time... Already moving on to Danelectros for the light weight and headless guitars for the light weight and ergonomics... But this might help too
I'm keeping my D'Angelico 335 copies because they're not THAT heavy but unfortunately there's no use in keeping anything else 😪 guitars shouldn't be wallhangers and move on to someone who plays them... But you know... Sentimental value and all that
Tone is in the fingers. This amp head gets too much hate. This guy proves it. Running through a good cab it can sound this good.
20:35 Lovvvvvvvve that slide!!!!
Thank you. : )
Loved the surfy bit near the end. LET'S GO BEACH!
Thank you. : )
THAT GUITAR WORK!
HOLY SHIT MAN.
Thank you. : )
OK. So how do I NOT sub after an intro like that!!? Been trying to figure out what guitar to buy after I stopped playing for like 9 yrs. Watching all these guitar reviews & then your vid plays next!

man that opening instrumental track solo is very mind blowing...feels like the Maggot brain John fruciente vibe there...
Is there any proper official mp3 track that I can listen to the song?
Please someone help me out. I'm thinking about a valvestate vs 100 with a lead900 cab. Do the cleans compare to the mg and what do you think about the cleans, I have a combo vs30 and love it so anybody know if they re similar? Thank you so much

Hey I just purchased a used MG100HCFX and I'm wondering if you have tried the CFX series?
What kind of guitar is that? (White Strat type) Seems to be your favorite and it sounds amazing. Love the 2 straps too!
There's a video dedicated to the white strat - ua-cam.com/video/YwyeZvYbf_w/v-deo.html
Not a fan of the mg's but I had a marshall solid state, lead 100 mosfet years ago that was a monster.
dave, if you could get a wall paper that was a print of mg stack's you could do the whole house and be very happy
Love my MG250DFX 2x50 Stereo combo with tube simulation How long i have it ? 15 years ?
Dave, Awesome playing and video as always! How does the MG compare in the mystic world of feedback as compared to a Plexi? Will it do the intro to Foxy Lady or the Star Spangled Banner, etc. of course with a Fuzz Face but will it also feed back like a proper cranked tube Marshall? Thanks, All the best!! GM
Thank you very much and it will do all that yeps. :)
have to wonder what kind of existance the one person that disliked this leads
Two now. They probably bought Jubilees and can't get tones as good as Dave manages with his MG's.
So is the HDFX better than the HCFX? You make it all sound great dave
Haytch 🤟
👍
I had an MG100DFX combo years ago and sold it. BIG mistake! Still looking for another one...
Hi Dave, what do you think of Marshall mg 50 dfx combo? Is it loud enough for drums? Or mg 100 combo would be better?
The 50 for me is the weak one. The 100 is best.
Great vid dave, i love my mg 102 fx combo, can you not use the footswitch to change between all 4 channels as i can with mine (2 way foot switch) you just press the footswitch pedal twice to cycle between them
Thank you very much and thank you for watching. : )
I have a marshall mg100fx, want to sell it and get a boss katana but after watching this... do I?
I have a mexican 60's player strat
Dave, how can I learn to play blues riffs and licks like what you were jamming on fora few minutes at 16:31?
Thats actually one of my songs. :)
There just basic pentatonic licks from people like Jimi Hendrix and Mike McCready.
Best way to learn is to figure as many classic blues rock solos out as you can and create a little library in your head of your favourites : )
Hey Dave, quite late for that question but its regarding the settings on the OD1 channel. In your other review of the MG you have totally different settings compared to the ones in this vid. Which ones are the "real deal" (if there is one). I dialed in your settings of this video and I hear a significant drop in volume if I change from clean to OD1. Is that normal or is it just my MG? Btw: Best 150€ I spent on the MG head and the 4x12 cab. Greetz form Germany, love your videos so inspiring, keep up the amazing work - Jay
I multiple setting for the mg that i love but the main ones are in the main mg demo vid and also the settings i use for my pedal board. :)
@@thedavesimpson thanks man
Are these bigger cases custom made or plexi empty cases - something like that ?
Also have three MGs. Never loved an amp like these. Played and owned a lot (tube,hybrid,etc). Great sounding, no tube problems live, no heavy lifting. Best!
There custom made by my friend at F A Guitar Cabs. He's on Facebook. :)
@@thedavesimpson , cool thank you
I’d really like to hear how the newest 2018 MG100HGFX compares. So far there are absolutely no reviews on UA-cam
I have one tho :p maybe i should make a quick vid some day
Only thing is that im using speakers from 2x12 peavey classic 100 series. So probably alot different sound compared to marshall amps
Yes! Would love Dave to compare in a vid
What’s the riff you started playing with the Jaguar ? (Right after you finished the les Paul)
Oh nvm you just said it’s your own called gone surfin, haha, love it!!
Hi Dave, how are you??? Quick question, just got one of these and can't seem to be able to get the effects working.. do I need a footswitch to engage them??? Thank you for all your support!!!
I am very well thank you. How are you?
You should be able to get them working without a footswitch and if you can't then you might want to get the amp looked at. : )
@@thedavesimpson thanks Dave, I shall get a footswitch and try... thanks mate!!
I love this amp, but it sucks that you can't turn the reverb on/off with the footswitch
MrHinkey hey man, might be a dumb question but I just had ordered this rig and I was wondering, can it get some good like Slash/bluesy rock type tones with it?
@@lainleddy8421 How's the amp going?
@@sp1602 working rn. I'll give a description after. Things a monster and a half man!
@@lainleddy8421 Damn, good to hear man! Would love to hear some of your playing, I'm a fairly new player so I'm always looking for opportunities to see other people play.
dave i have a mg 100 hdfx it is brill amp i will never sell it ever
Great reviews and videos @davesimpson. But i need help. Ive been offered the same marshall head for under £100 but was soon to buy the katana 100 combo. I will only use at home so which one is most suitable, any advice appreciated. I know katana smaller and sounds awsome but always wanted a marshall set up, but thinking marshall will be too big/loud at home. But really tempted at the price... Help
If you've always wanted a marshall setup go for the Mg as it can go really quiet and still sound awesome. : )
@@thedavesimpson many thanks for the reply. The head is £72 so really too cheap to pass up so I'll go for it. Could you reccomend a 2 x 12 cab for this head? A 4x12 will be too large in my room i think. Cheers 👍
