In this video I review the Marshall MG10 practice amp. Does it have anything going for it or is it just a toy? If you liked this video, don't forget to share it and subscribe! Follow me on Twitter: @jakepoolmusic
I've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is the only practice amp I use other than my full size Marshall stack. With this amp as you turn the volume up louder, the sound gets fuller and bigger instead of other amps that just get louder. Marshall did a great job with this little amp.
I've had this amp for about a year and it is great for what it is - a decent sounding practice amp. It was designed to be a bedroom practice amp and that is all it will ever be. It serves that purpose well. If you are looking for studio quality or something stage-worthy, look elsewhere. I, myself, am very pleased with this amp and enjoy practicing with it.
I bought one of these and it plays well, i was also really surprised by the good Bass sound that came out when I plugged my lefthand bass guitar into it. And it has all the necessary settings. Yes it is loud enough as a practise amp.
I've had this amp for a month I had zero expectations for this amp and I didn't even plug it in until today but man I'm really surprised it's got great clean and has that Marshall sound on overdrive much better than this video makes it sound
Old video i know. But just picked up a like new marshall mg-10cd at an auction for 20 dollars. Was pleasantly surprised at how well it performs for a small 10 watt practice amp. It definitely has that instantly recognizable classic sound that only a marshall can produce. Great vid!
03:33 They incorporated LED clipping (which is a Marshall heritage design). MGs are great little amps. Hook up a bigger speaker and they're even better!
Nice review! I ordered one today for my home practice amp after my Peavey 6505 broke and I wanted one to use for practice without disturbing my neighbors where I live. I will compare it to the smaller Vox G3 mini amp which is amazing as well.
Does the Amplifier make Buzz or Humm sound on clean channel when it strings are not in contact with fingers? I recently bought an Amplifier but it makes some buzz sound on clean channel as well...😖😖 Is there anyway to reduce it or stop that buzz sound?
Acabo de adquirir uno y la verdad que me re gusta, al precio que se lo consigue, es un amplificador portátil muy limpio y con buena potencia, yo por lo menos lo recomiendo
i’m thinking of getting it (i’m a beginner) and was wondering whether it would sound (at the least) decent, as most of my time playing would be at night
Great review. Check your poll spacing on your neck pickup. Looks wide, you may be bending out of range on the pole. 1st , and possibly 2nd. I did it on one of my guitars once, I was like," that's close enough". until I played and realized the sound difference. They fade on the bends.
I plug the bass at my school into that amp, as the same amp is at my school, and so far nothing has happened. I'd recommend being careful but so far my teacher hasn't told me off for doing it lol
I cant get any sound when im on channel 1. When im on channel 2 i have to turn the gain all the way up to get any sound and what get is a shitty clean tone with a bunch of loud backroundnoice. Does anybody have the same problems?
This might sound stupid i don't play guitar or don't know how to use an amp but I'm in love with this amp so can I use it as a regular speaker and connect my smartphone I'll be using it in my room
yes you can, but guitar amps only focus on midrange frequencies of the whole spectrum of sound, so the sound you get out of it will be muddy without highs and lows. So I suggest you get audio speakers if youre going to play music with your smartphone.
Fabio Gasperini I can understand why you would want to use it that way . It because they are cool 😎 my friends wife wanted one for that same reason when she seen mine
Quick question, how do you pull off a metal sound like Enter Sandman by Metallica on the guitar and this amp? I have a Yamaha Pac012 and a Marshall MG10CF amp... do i need a PEDAL or something to make metal power cord sounds? No matter what i move on the guitar knobs or the amp, it doesnt sound like that u_u
But basically, if I am adding guitar parts to my song production. Can I use this amp to mic via SM57 into my Audio Interface & DAW, like especially for clean guitar playing?
Thank you for the review. I have a question. I can't seem to get a decent tone out of this, the clean channel sounds pretty muddy and has way too much bass in in, no matter what I do. The distortion channel buzzes very loud and is humming all the time, and when I try to dial in a metal sound, it's just a whole mess. I'm using the amp with my Epiphone SG Special. I'd be happy about a little tip that solves my problems. Thank you.
The clean and gain button doesn’t light up, therefor it’s not producing any volume on any channel, I’ve hardly used the Amp, anyone any ideas as to the remedy
well it cheap ss circuit. only one stage of diode clipping for the over dive and no diodes or jfets on the clean channel. I have cheap ss amp with alots of gain but only stage diode clipping, so it sound mix of distortion an fuzz compared to mine jfet overdrive being pushed by jfet booster.
my vox pathfinder 10w broke down the same day i purchased it so i returned it to the shop and change it for the marshall and since then i use it without troubles.
This amp is not good believe me and videos in which u hear it wont tell u reality this amp is good for cleans for breaking tone of tube or hard rock and distortion no way

Sir can it play heavy music like metal without seperate distortion pedal
I mean with the inbuilt effect
@@sawmichawngthu8831 No you cannot. The distortion built in sounds more vintage. But if you run a pedal into the clean channel it sounds awesome.
Do you think I use it in my home recording and mic it with sm57 into my audio and DAW and get professional sounding results in the mix?
He said ,Marshally sounding ,,,sorry man ,I laughed pretty hard at that. Sounds good for a mini amp!
@@razoredge6476 do you know which amp has good distortion that is 10 to 15 watts?
I have this little guy for over 5 years and still working as it came. Great amp for beginners.
Hitesh Tinguria ive been playing for about 4 months now, this was the first amp i ever got and i regret absolutely nothing! Its just amazing
Are u sure cuz im thinking of buying it too? Im a biginner
@@kulanjaychavda9987 just get it. I got one. Works perfect.
@@bayukebab3248 okay thanks....
Kulanjay Chavda dont get one with effects, I’ve been playing for a little and now I want reverb and stuff which this doesn’t have

Plugging a bass into the amp didn't damage the speaker ?

it really is a fantastic bedroom practice amp or for those who live in an apartment.

Thanks Jake, as a newbie this has helped me a lot. I now have the amp and find absolutely fine for playing in the house. Thanks again!
Nice review! I ordered one today for my home practice amp after my Peavey 6505 broke and I wanted one to use for practice without disturbing my neighbors where I live. I will compare it to the smaller Vox G3 mini amp which is amazing as well.
At first, I tought the intro said "Jake Paul"
Sir, if I play along the amp with cort 50 will that be ok...?
you are clipping, record(track) at -23dbfs mix down at -5dbfs and then master it at -.03 for optimal professional gain staging
Thank you for this video! You have sold me. Hope to play like you one day! Ha ha thanks! 🫶🙏🎸🎶
very good review, really helping me with choosing an amp!

Great video! Do you know if this one and MG10G are the same in terms of performance?
Can you please make a tutorial of this Amplifier how to set this amp for Lead Tone?
That's my amp😭😭
Same
thanks jake good info.......I was planning on getting one.....and I will.....see ya!
Thumb up for comfy strap !!! I owned of the straps and willing to buy more, nice review very honest
Thank you Brother 😊 for make this Video...
Can you connect distrortion pedals with it?
Yes I stack 3 with mines
great review ty
about to get it to start playing el. guitar.
i’m thinking of getting it (i’m a beginner) and was wondering whether it would sound (at the least) decent, as most of my time playing would be at night
crank the clean channel and you will get nice break up..
What would be the configuration to play a good sounding blues?
How does this compare to a Pathfinder?
What's difference between mg10g and mg10cf...is there any difference from sound?
colours, g is gold and CF is silver
But it good for playing mayhem stuff
O drive tem o som bom ? O que você acha ?
Great review. Check your poll spacing on your neck pickup. Looks wide, you may be bending out of range on the pole. 1st , and possibly 2nd. I did it on one of my guitars once, I was like," that's close enough". until I played and realized the sound difference. They fade on the bends.
Would my bass make my new amp explode as in that amp
I plug the bass at my school into that amp, as the same amp is at my school, and so far nothing has happened. I'd recommend being careful but so far my teacher hasn't told me off for doing it lol
The gold mg10cd Is better, More marshall
I have that amp ,They are pretty nice.
It's a real angry sound it gives, huh, like an energetic bird trying to escape from a net
That sounds very psycho dude. You an animal torturer or something?
@@insanebrain213 just very imaginative 😅
@@davidlalremruata cool. Me too.
Doze it run on battery as well
I cant get any sound when im on channel 1. When im on channel 2 i have to turn the gain all the way up to get any sound and what get is a shitty clean tone with a bunch of loud backroundnoice. Does anybody have the same problems?
I have the same issue, drives me nuts!
How loud can it go?
"surprisingly loud for its size"
hi... will i get a similar sound on a strat as well????
Yes
This might sound stupid i don't play guitar or don't know how to use an amp but I'm in love with this amp so can I use it as a regular speaker and connect my smartphone I'll be using it in my room

Yes. That does sound incredibly stupid.

Sometimes I use it that way, and it's not bad at all. Very clear sounding.

Who cares if it's small? Sounds fine to me.
Muito bom mesmo para treinar em casa
I still like the original MG10 CD
Johnny Dogg that one is a Lot better
Logan Pool, Jake Pool, any of the pools
Can i use this for a bass if I use headphones or play bass with mid volume?
But basically, if I am adding guitar parts to my song production. Can I use this amp to mic via SM57 into my Audio Interface & DAW, like especially for clean guitar playing?
Thank you! Good review (:
where's the aux in input
I just got mine today but, it doesn’t work at all.
Pretty much what I would classify as a piece of junk
Thank you for the review.

HAZIQKAZEEK
I'm glad I'm not the only one with that problem. I guess we will have to wait for someone who has a solution. Good luck!
same shit here guys
Same lol,but aside from the buzz at full gain setting it sounds great.
The clean and gain button doesn’t light up, therefor it’s not producing any volume on any channel, I’ve hardly used the Amp, anyone any ideas as to the remedy
im new to the guitar, how is this amp powered? and does it come with cables?
You plug it in. And probably no, it doesn't come with cables
RafaelKI What cable can I use for it? What size?
@@thus.spoke.zarathustra guitar cabels duh
RafaelKI Oh sorry, I meant what jack size should the cable have?
@@thus.spoke.zarathustra they're all the same size
We'll see. 4/1/23
Same intro music as the Scary Mysteries channel. :)
I got it too but what cable do i need to conect my iphone with speaker
Aux cable
will it sound good using an acoustic guitar?
Can you suggest the best amp under 99 bucks?
I Really Need Your Help I Have A Marshall M 10th But It Doesn't Have Distortion Is It Built In Or Do I Need To Put My Pedal In First?
Our World To The Light it has an overdrive channel. It's tone is pretty crappy so I recommend u to use a pedal
well it cheap ss circuit. only one stage of diode clipping for the over dive and no diodes or jfets on the clean channel. I have cheap ss amp with alots of gain but only stage diode clipping, so it sound mix of distortion an fuzz compared to mine jfet overdrive being pushed by jfet booster.
this or vox pathfinder 10w?
my vox pathfinder 10w broke down the same day i purchased it so i returned it to the shop and change it for the marshall and since then i use it without troubles.
So, this one goes to 11?
🔥🔥🔥
i got a question how do you set this amp to play like blues
red channel, gain at 2-3, volume at 4, contour at 4-5
Mine says 40 watts on the back
Tell something about marshall mg15cf....
Does anyone know how to conncect it to the computer, i can use it as a speaker but i want the computer to pick the noise uo
Record it with a mic
@@rafaelki8654 bad quality
@@joey1413 use a good mic duhh
@@rafaelki8654 no shit sherlock, i dont have one.. im trying to work with what i have.
It’s 24w
Alex Mcmstr What? no, a 24w amp is bigger than a 15 watt amp and thats only 10
@@Raikkonen73106 i got my MG10CF and it says 24 watts. It's so loud even tho it's a small amp.

Thanks for the review. It seems like there are better small amps out there around that price range.
DiMo28 Hi. Can you please tell me what reference or model and what brand? Thanks

DiMo28 he is using any processor???
Orange crush 12 sound much better.
