MS2 Battery-Powered Micro Guitar Amplifier

I can’t use my tube amps due to meth addicts loitering in my neighborhood. The MS-2 lets me play discreetly. The basic tone is Marshall all of the way. The clean channel does not have a lot of headroom, but I like it that way. The distort is akin to a JCM2000 on amber channel. It is very responsive to the volume control on the guitar. I will not judge its bass for its 3 inch speaker. It seems to sound best with single coils based on AB testing it on my split coil PRS McCarty. My 62 reissue Strat sounds great too. For what it is, excellent value and great choice for beginners to experienced players If you are a beginner, this is much better than what I stared with. Do not expect it to be a 100watt full Marshall stack It’s awesome though

On its own the Marshall ms2 doesn’t sound all that good. But put a boss metal zone pedal through it and it becomes a little beast of an amp. Battery lasts about five days of operation playing about three hours a day. It’s a high gain amp that needs a distortion pedal to sound good. Not very great at clean sounds as it breaks up as you turn up the volume. I love these little ms2s.

This mini guitar amp does what you want it to do and delivers the sound you would expect. It’s a good little amp for practice or as a gift. The sound is best when the batteries are new or if you plug it into a wall outlet. My main complaint is that it doesn’t come with a power cord, which would have been nice, but otherwise it works as advertised.

This was purchased as a gift from my guitar playing son. He loves it. He uses it when he travels and still wants to be able to plug in his electric to work on his playing or music he's writing. It is so compact and puts out a surprising clean loud sound for its size. Very easy to carry around and doesn't take hardly any packing space. This is not a full size amp - don't expect full size sound and conveniences. It's useful for practice, when you can't or don't want to make a lot of loud sound. This was probably the best gift dad and I could have given him on the budget we were on. This was a 2017 Christmas gift. He's had no problems with it at all. He highly recommends this.

Anyone who says this amp is not a 5 out of 5 received a bad unit. The only complaint I would have is that you COULD by a 15-20watt lead amp from Pyle or many others that will blow this away for the same price. The difference? They are not portable. They do not clip on your belt. They do not fit in your pocket/gig bag. I got MS2 today and it is everything I was told it would be. Loud enough that people can hear it, yet not loud enough that it can be heard on the other side of the house. The clean channel is clear, the overdrive gives more than enough crunch to rock out. You can not beat this for its size for practice. Probably would make a good lead pre-amp solution as well if you like its as-is sound. This is a dorm room amp. This is what you get when you want to practice without headphones, or jam out with a couple of friends, one playing bongos, the other singing without a mic. Perfect. It is NOT the perfect Marshall stack sound ,but it is close enough. Get real people. It's tiny.

Made noise for about 5 seconds and now nothing. Light turns on but no sound at all. Don’t waste your time or money

My son loves it

This is a pretty cool little Amp, but the sound I get out of mine is choppy, for lack of better term. In clean, it sounds okay; could be better. The OD is what's real choppy. No Metallica or Pantera with this IMO.

Elektro gitarim için almıştım.Baslangic için ideal ve taşınabilir olması güzel.

Ich brauchte einen kleinen Amp zum üben zu Hause, wollte jedoch nicht viel zu viel ausgeben, da ich letzendlich noch ein Anfänger bin. Dann habe ich den MS-2 von Marshall gefunden. Für weniger als 30€ bekommt man eine Box, die etwa so groß ist wie 2 aktuelle Smartphones nebeneinander. Marshall hat versucht, den Look und Feel von den größeren Brüdern, die man meistens auf der Bühne während Konzerten sieht, zu behalten. Ich würde sagen, dass das ihnen prima gelungen ist: der eigentliche Lautsprecher ist mit schwarzem Textil-Material bedeckt auf dem der Marshall-Logo geklebt ist. Die Knöpfe sind aus einem wertigen Material und sind leicht zu drehen, ohne billig zu wirken. Also von der Verarbeitungsqualität her ist der kleine Marshall top. Die 1 Watt Ausgangsleistung schien mir Anfangs wenig zu sein, aber nach einigen Stunden habe ich festgestellt, dass sie fürs üben Zimmer völlig ausreicht. Der Amp ist also laut genug. Wenn man jedoch nicht seine Mitbewohner stören möchte, gibt es einen Klinkenausgang für Kopfhörer - leider nicht als 3.5mm (Standard-) Jack, sondern als 6.35mm (Instrument-) Jack. Da bräuchte man also ein Adapter für, die sind jedoch ziemlich billig. Das einzige was mich hier stört (zumindest bei meinem Produkt) ist, dass er unangenehm bei hoher Lautstärke auf fast jeder Oberfläche vibriert - das kann man nur so lösen, wenn man ihn auf einem Teppich legt oder etwas ähnliches. Ich benutze ihn nie auf voller Lautstärke (weil er für mich dann zu laut wird) - deshalb kein Sternabzug. Es gibt 2 Modi zwischen denen man mithilfe des Power-Buttons schalten kann: Clean (ON) und Overdrive (OD). Es gibt nichts besonderes zum Clean Modus. Ich bin jedoch vom OD Modus begeistert - besonders bei meinem Fender Stratocaster HSS - Das rockt einfach ganz wild. Der MS-2 kommt mit einer 9V Batterie (keine wiederaufladbare), kann aber mit einem 9V power adapter (nicht mitgeliefert) ans Strom angeschlossen werden, jedoch finde ich, dass das ziemlich unnötig ist, da der MS-2 wegen der "Größe" eingentlich als tragbarer Amp benutzt werden sollte. Also für die 30€ gibt's wenig zu meckern zum MS-2. Die Verarbeitung ist einfach top, Lautstärke und Klang trotz der Größe gut. Besonders zum Üben sehr gut geeignet, wegen der Tragbarkeit wahrscheinlich auch für kleine Straßenauftritte angemessen (jedoch von mir nicht so getestet).

Sound is good for what it is, but missing bass and the higher tones are a bit screechy. But i had low expectations and it definitely exceeded them. Perfect to just jam on the balcony without disturbing neighbours. Overdrive was a bit of a letdown though.

Som melhor que o esperado... Excelente pra estudar...

Ho acquistato il Marshall MS-2 come regalo per un chitarrista ed è stata la scelta giusta. È uno di quei prodotti che, appena lo vedi, colpisce subito per il design iconico in stile Marshall, curato nei dettagli (è presente anche una maniglia finta) ma in miniatura. Dal punto di vista del suono, mi ha stupito: considerando le dimensioni ridotte, riesce comunque a offrire una resa più che soddisfacente. Ovviamente non ci si può aspettare la potenza di un amplificatore da palco, ma per esercitarsi o suonare in casa è più che adeguato. È anche molto semplice da usare, praticamente immediato, senza bisogno di smanettare troppo. Un altro punto a favore è la compattezza: è leggerissimo, poco ingombrante e si può portare ovunque senza problemi, grazie anche ad una clip in ferro che permette di fissarla persino alla cintura dei pantaloni. Comoda anche la possibilità di utilizzare un alimentatore esterno (anche se va acquistato a parte), che lo rende più versatile rispetto al solo uso a batterie (1 pila da 9v non inclusa). Se proprio devo trovare un difetto, è legato proprio all’alimentazione: con delle batterie ricaricabili integrate sarebbe stato davvero perfetto, probabilmente da sei stelle. Così com’è, però, resta comunque un prodotto eccellente per il prezzo a cui viene venduto. In definitiva, lo ricomprerei senza pensarci due volte. Ottima idea regalo e soluzione pratica per chi cerca qualcosa di semplice, compatto e con un buon suono.
