Marshall MG15 Review

Marshall is famous for its amps. Especially for rock, blues and metal. Not that other genres don’t work well with the British brand, but it’s strength its in that area. When I think about Marshall, I think about a 100 watt head and a 4×12 cab. The “Marshall Stack”. But Marshall have a huge range of amps. Tube amps, solid state amps, heads, cabs and combos. And of course, they don’t just cater for stadium guitar gods, they look after those needing a small practice amp. Enter the Marshall MG15CF 15 watt amp. As far as tone goes, I’m a fan of Marshall clean tones, and the MG15CF has that familiar feel to it. The EQ has a good effect on the tone, but you’ll need to experiment to find your personal preference.

The party gets started when you hit the overdrive switch. With the gain down low, you can get a light crunch. A little higher (around 3) gives a smooth bluesy tone, which to be honest, I had fun with for about half an hour! Dialing higher brings the saturation up and now you’re talking rock and metal. Ease off the mids and go crazy.
