The 1x12 Marshall MG101FX is a 100W combo amp with 4 programmable channels, awesome analog tone, adjustable FX, and more amazing features. Now at your disposal is a separate digital Delay, meaning that a total of 3 custom-voiced FX can be combined at once—Reverb, Modulation (Chorus/Phaser/Flanger), and Delay—creating near-endless FX possibilities. What's more, the Reverb and Delay FX decay naturally when switching between channels for a truly fluid performance. If you want to add extra pedals and/or rack effects, you can make use of the amp's switchable External FX.
Set in series and at instrument level, this send and return system is suitable for both guitar and professional units alike. Also present in the MG101FX amp is Marshall's custom power-amp damping circuitry. Switch effortlessly between the feel of a classic power amp, with the emphasis on middle, and that of boosted speaker resonance in both bass and treble frequency ranges, magnifying the response and projection of your tone. All the above are switchable via the front panel and/or the included programmable MG Footcontroller, affording you complete control.
You'll also find that the Headphone socket on this top-tier Marshall MG doubles as a very handy Line Out, ideal for sending your jaw-dropping solos to any external unit you wish—a computer, digital recorder, or PA system, for example. As with the use of headphones, the amp's speaker is muted, allowing for silent recording. Output can then be directly monitored from the external equipment being used.

I have had this amp for four months now and have had a chance to play gigs with it at gig volume. I have been using it with just the stock speaker. Any reservations I have had are gone. By experimenting, I am getting all the sounds I want from country to hard rock and roll. Using the clean channel with the gain full open, the crunch button off and adding a Boss Blues Driver pedal, I am getting a great blues, country, country rock edge with my Highway One Telecaster. I keep the overdrive channel set for pure rock and it is great. With my Gibsons, it is amazing. If you are playing large venues and are a metal head or are a professsional with cash , yeah, go the tube route. I've had and played both and can't tell alot of difference between this amp and some tube amps. As far as solid state amps go, this is one of the best I've played. It's what sounds good to you. Personally, I think a wall of cabinets aren't going to help if you can't play. I auditioned with a band where the other guitar player had a much more expensive boutique tube head and cabinet but my rig sounded so much better. Louder does not necessarily mean better tone. This amp will serve the needs of the regular player. I have gotten nothing but compliments on my sound with this amp. Go to the Marshall website and watch the demo, it's accurate. Again, for the money, this is the Marshall sound at a low price.

This amp is a great buy for anyone looking to get started, especially if gigs are in the future. Supplies plenty of power for an outdoor concert while holding up marvelously against the banging that comes with non professional packing ;) Aside from the few battle scars mine has already endured it is still in great shape and sounds just as amazing as the day I got it.
As far as cons go, while this is great for starting out as you save on the pedals, you will have to get some eventually. The effects are difficult to handle and take a while to get use to, but no biggy once you get a nice peddle to go with it and they sound pretty decent for a while.

I have an original MG30. I've always liked this amp and wished I had gotten a more powerful one. I didn't want to spend the money on a tube Marshall but I like the Marshall sound. I gig out with a 1987 Carvin XB100 100 watt head through cabinets with Celestion and Eminence Texas Heat speakers. I don't want to haul this rig to rehearsal, so I took the MG30. When really cranked, it sounded great. I got a good deal here on a MG100DFX and bought it. I've had it almost two weeks now and am finally starting to like it after experimenting. If you are looking for that Marshall sound, this is it. I will caution you though, this amp is for playing with that sound, it's not a versatile amp if you are playing an array of different music. I prefer an Allman Bros./Led Zeppelin type Marshall sound myself which can be achieved by turning the gain on about two and turning the master volume up. I don't really like the clean channel as there is a big volume drop off. I really don't like the stock speaker. I was disappointed that there was no external speaker jack. I solved this by rigging up a speaker junction box. Adding two Texas Heat speakers, the sound was vastly improved. I think the amp has a lot of treble to it and even my Celestions sounded tinny. I use a '72 Les Paul Custom, a '74 Gibson L6S and a '62 reproduction Strat. With the Strat, I pretty much turn the bass up and the treble down. I didn't like the effects loop, I lost a lot of boost. My pedal board worked much better running it through the input jack. The onboard effects are decent although I'm not a flange guy. Plenty of power though. If you want Marshall sound on the cheap, this is it. I would recommend definitely using different speakers with it. Maybe just buy the head if you have cabinets.
