Marshall MS-2R Red Micro Guitar Amp

This tiny box provides the classic ‘Marshall crunch’ on the clean channel and it is excellent for practising in your room.I have been playing a Gibson Les Paul 60s tribute (with single coil P90 pick-ups) and a standard Fender Mexican telecaster through it for the last one week.As you would expect from a Marshall amplifier, the sound pleasantly cracks up on the clean channel if both the guitar and amplifier volume settings are turned up.This sound is good for classic rock.The overdrive channel also provides decent light to medium distortion but, as expected, the tiny speaker produces jarring sounds at high distortion levels.Here are my views on some of the concerns that other reviewers have raised:• Product Quality: I received a genuine Marshall product. It has excellent build quality and it lives up to the Marshall name.• Battery life: I have been using it every day for 3 to 4 hours for the last one week and the battery has not yet discharged. I don’t see the need of an external power source.• Sound Quality: It is excellent for solo practice. Don’t expect to sound like Black Sabbath with it; it is a practice amp - set your expectations accordingly!• Sound cracking up on clean channel: A good guitar amplifier is supposed to do that at high volume settings!Overall I feel that it’s a must buy product for all electric guitar players. Go for it!

This can be the perfect reason to more practice for your guitar. Nice and compact, packs a good punch for it's size. Can carry it for a session to your terrace or lawn in the winter Sun. Should work pretty well for a camp fire too. Don't expect it to replace your full size guitar amp just like you wouldn't compare a Maruti Alto to Mercedes or Audi.The other model that has two speakers isn't as good, may be a tad louder but that's it. This model has a little overdrive function too that gives a taste of distortion, but again don't expect to get heavy metal or hard rock tones.Use it for your practice, quiet campfires, with your SO and you will be glad you got this baby.

Marshall MS2R as for me is not that bad for the practice. The distorted overdrive sound is awesome for rhythm playing. It is loud compared to it's size.Overall it's a nice amp at that price. Just my thoughts .

Personally i wouldn't recommend this amp to anyone. Even after keeping the volume to half and tone level in the centre you don't get clean sound , it's really muddy. Rather go with some other amp or get a headphone amp instead.

Before buying this i have done some research but i didn't expect this mini amp would be this much good, i loved it and don't think too much about it just buy it.

Met my expectations under low price. Very good quality sound.

Doesn't work at all, I can barely hear the guitar.

So joyful souns. Playing becomes very simple.
