The Marshall MG series can't even be ON the Marshall website..... it sounds like a Metal Noobs dream.... hard, heavy, and ultimately irritating.

If you're on a budget and want a quality amp, I now always recommend the Vox AD series........ much more bang for your buck.

or if you have a good effect pedal, go with ibanez toneblaster series. the tb15r is quite loud and have a brilliant clean tone and reverb. the overdrive sucks though. active eq too. pretty good for a cheap amp.

The MG series can alive till nowadays is all against on the brand 'MARSHALL'....as blacktrix said.....Vox ad series is always better choice between them.....btw...you can try Roland cube series too.....

if you're looking at Marshall amp....better get prepared RM3k first...

Eventhough im a Vox AD-series user,
if you're more interested in playing metal or anything with heavier distortions, do look out for Roland's Cube series. Microcube especially, because its small, with plenty of good models. If you would prefer bigger, 30 watts onwards, because the 15 watt variant has pedal modellers instead of amp models. All of them feature a sparkly type clean from the JC120 model.

If you would prefer some classic rock, the Vox AD-series would excel.
It can also churn out some really warm blues type clean. It can only perform well for metal only if you pair it with an overdrive pedal in my opinion. Because to me, the models just don't cut it for metal without an overdrive pedal.

between the microcube, and vox DA-5.
get the vox, if ck still has stock.
sale price is RM434.

microcube 'sale' price is RM380.

both are 2w amps, way more than enough for bedroom.
but the vox has an option to select 1.5w or 1.0w, or something like that, so can save power while using batteries.

only prob is the vox runs on C size batts, microcube uses AA.
of cos both can use power adapter.

i'm actually waiting for the green vox DA-5 to come in, whenever that will be.

As long as you don't need triple super duper high lead gain...Vox Ad would suffice...

Why dont you try it out and see which one you like. Other people's opinions wouldnt matter as much as yours, since its you who would be using it. I have a vox, its pretty good for the price. Cant give my opinion though, since I have not tried the rest.

Erm those vox amps... CK music.
