Lol

As far as solid state bedroom amps go, you can’t complain. While the clean tone leaves a lot to be desired and the amp’s EQ controls are very rudimentary, the distortion is awesome. It gives you the nasty, fuzzy solid state distortion that we all know and love. Amazing bedroom amplifier, but it kind of ends there.

amazingforlife

it's okay, there is better amps

This thing is ok but it weighs a ton and the clean sound is not very good but i don't really care, it sounds great. Also, i hate to say it but this thing has a tendency to make your guitar go silent. it sounds ok and it also has a brilliant distortion channel. I crank the gain on it way too much, it sounds really raspy on occasion. I recommend to punk, grunge and funk players

amazingforlife

I forgot to mention this but if you are one of those people that likes to plug their acoustic into an electric amp, do NOT try plugging into this amp. It sounds rubbish when you plug an acoustic into this amp

kyrferg

We're you using an acoustic/electric, or was it one of those external acoustic pick ups? Not sure if related, just curious.

amazingforlife

My Ovation has an acoustic pickup but I don't use it because it eats away loads of battery.

gearhead

Great practice amp

It's good for plugging in phone or cd player and great as a practice amp but I wouldn't gig one. I use it with a Marshall Guv'nor distortion.

charliedotexe

A practice amp that packs a punch

Charlie.EXE's first guitar amp. This practice amp packs powerful overdrive and provides amazing british-style tone

Perfect For Home Practice

I'm using it for about 9 years and I haven't need anything more. Its durability is so good too. Dust, humidity and irregular electricity current couldn't breake it.

joe_wright4920

my first amp

not a good sound individually, but when matched to the fender amp adds to make a dirty gritty sound

osozoso

A very good amplifier

A excelent amplifier for starters, and a good pick for everyone else. I'm very happy with it, and i'll probably stay with it for a long time.

Good Little Combo

This is a good little amp. I've even been so brave as to use it live.

From the manual of the MG10kk, page 2: "During the development of the JCM800 2203KK,Kerry's signature Marshall Head, he often mentioned his use of the MG10CD, one always on tour with him and one always kept at home. With this in mind I decided that we would extend our thanks and produce an MG10KK, a special edition MG10CD echoing the design of the 2203KK."

If you look at the amp, it immediately looks like a typical marshall combo amp but if you look closer, it says "10cd" on the amp, and the only Marshall Amp that has that in its name is the mg10cd gold.
