Marshall MG102FX Guitar Amplifier

Posted by: John Waltz in ComboAmp on

First off, Marshall’s history is legendary. Making amplifiers for guitarists for almost 50 years Rock-N-Roll would not be the same without this iconic brand. Van Halen, Green Day, Clapton, Tool, Megadeath, Kiss, The Who, Led Zepplin...The list is long and impressive.

So, we get this new Marshall MG102FX amp into the store. It is a 100 watt 2x12 combo that has all the familiar visuals: black cloth speaker grill, white logo and gold faceplate. It looks pretty extreme sitting on one of those Gator amp transport case things (perfect fit).

Let’s plug an ESP Eclipse into this bad boy. Turn the Master Volume, Mod and Delay controls all the way down. Turn all the other knobs up to 12 O’clock. Fire it up with the round power switch to the right. First thing you will notice are all the mode LEDs. Some indicate what channel you are currently in (this is a 4 channel amp by the way). Others give you status on your FX settings.

No matter what kind of musician you are (you can name and play every scale imaginable or you barely even know what a scale is), Fender® is one of the best known names in the world. From the well-known Strat to the ever-popular tweed-style amps, Fender has been a standard for musicians for a number of years.

IK Multimedia knew this from the start. That's why they modeled their popular Amplitube software into something that will make Fender players and fans drool. Introducing Amplitube Fender® Studio Edition and Amplitube Fender®!

Amplitube has been one of the most popular guitar amp & FX modeling plug-in for years. Once standard with ProTools, Amplitube has broken away to allow everybody a chance to take their sound to the next level.

I’m all about value… you know, bang-for-your-buck. It's especially important now, given the state of the economy.

When I can get a couple extra features on something I buy, I leave feeling pretty good. With the Fender G-DEC amp, you get much more than a couple of extra features -- so many, in fact, that you will walk away from your purchase feeling great.
