Well, i'm basically looking to get a new practice amp that's going to give me more sound than my little 8 inch 15 watt. So I was looking around on the Sam Ash website last night and saw a MG15MSII and it said it was only 300 dollars. It was clearly a stack, but it said "Micro stack". I was like "NO FREAKING WAY!". Well, yeah, no freaking way was right. It's only 36 inches tall total, and it's still only a fifteen watt, but it has two ten inch speakers. Plus IT'S A FREAKING MARSHALL STACK!
Basically i'm looking to get something alittle louder, but not to loud to be a practice amp, I figgure I can't really go wronge with this; not to mention it would just look really cool in my corner, and an awesome conversation piece, because i've never scene one of these outside of Sam Ash before. I know they carry them at my local store though, because I have scene them, but never payed any attention to them because I figgured they would be way out of my price range, being a Marshall stack. (Even though it only comes up to the middle of my hip. XD)

I'm asking for any oppinions on this, and if anybody has any previous experience with it. I'm planning on hitting up Sam Ash this weekend to check one out, but I wan't to get some oppinions or other suggestions before I go.

It would be more cost efective to buy the Mg15cdr. In all reality the Mg series isn't that great. The sound is very stale sounding for a Marshall. I Would sugest either Peavy or Vox for amps but they can tend to be Pricey. Shure if you want a stack go ahead and buy it, but form playing it I have found it lacking.

I agree with Breakdancer, the Mg series arn't that good. They are a soild state amps, I bought a 600 dollar half-stack from peavey called the windsor. Sounds almost like the JCM from Marshall, but I wouldn't go for the MG series just cause it says marshall dosen't means it's great.

Well, I wasn't expecting much. It's only three hundred bucks. But you have to understand i'm upgrading from a Spider III with an eight inch speaker. Almost anything is going to sound amazing to me.
