 The MG gets little love, but is a great little amp! Nov 14, 2011
By Billy M. Brackeen
Online the MG series reviews seem to vary dramatically. Some people love them, others say they are complete junk. Having owned my share of solid state amps, I want to say "personally" this is a great amp. Tonal perception is a very subjective realm, and most people who are looking at this amplifier are looking for something with a pretty well defined tone. If you are looking for something that can model 10 other brands, then go look at a Line 6 or Peavey. If you are looking for an amp that has that definitive Marshall sound this is a great choice. Albeit one might argue the sound is still modeled, who better to model a Marshall than Marshall?
I've spent a few days with this amp, long enough to dial around with 4 the channels. I'm playing through the MG50 with a Schecter Blackjack ATX, and man it sounds mean. The diversity of tones seem adequate for what I am looking for, and the on board effects are great and one less thing I have to carry around. I've been able to dial in some nice bluesy sounds, some softer jazz tones, and defiantly the quintessential early Metallica and Slayer. For heavier stuff I found the gain was best kept below 3 o'clock as the overdrive in most cases seemed over saturate and actually not sound as heavy (more fuzzy or fizzy). I've found the best sound by working in very small movements on the tone knobs. Even single ticks can make a tremendous change in sound.
All of the knob positions can be stored in each channel which is extremely nice. Once you get that perfect tone, simply hit the store button and its there every time you come back to that channel. This does make it a little difficult to remember what you might have done previously, and I would recommend taking notes of positions when you find a sound you really like, but this would be true for traditional manual knobs, so its really icing on the cake anyway. If you like a traditional knob setup, you can put the amp in "manual" mode and the knob positions always represent their physical setting.
It seemed a little confusing in the description, but the MG50FX does come with a two button foot switch that allows you to toggle between the four channels (clean/crunch * Overdrive/Overdrive Lead). Also a previous reviewer mentioned about the input jack coming out, it seems Marshall took note of this as mine seems to have some type of glue/epoxy securing the nut.
Overall I think the MG series gets some pretty tough love, but I'm not really sure why. Seems like (and its been this way since I was a kid even) people look at Marshall's in two ways; Ether is all tube, or its crap. Myself, I'm not willing to spend $1600 on a JVM tube combo, and I find this solid state offering a perfect solution to the itch to own one of the greats in rock & roll. After all, what anyone else thinks doesn't mean squat if you are happy.

 Great sound but unreliable Aug 10, 2010
By Sandra Mirabile
"Tech Mom"
I've had this amp for about two years and it is only used occassionally outside of the house for gigs. This amp has that good Marshall sound but has broken down twice right before a gig-very disappointed in the quality. It is not a tube amp so no tech wants to work on it. First breakdown was due to poor sodering-it cracked and sounded terrible. Took it in to Guitar Center and $75 later it was fixed. That is until a month later right before a gig, the plastic master volume knob broke off and could not use the amp or control it. Had to rig something up to turn the knob for the next day performance. I can't relax and know that this amp is going to come through for me so I'm going to buy another brand. I'm taking it back to Guitar Center for another repair and then will update my review. Contact me at [...] for questions.

Marshall MG50FX Nov 04, 2010
By ME
I just bought this amp a few days ago. So far, so good. It sounds great for what it is. It's a $380 Solid State amp, BUT it has 4 programmable channels, on board digital FX, an FX loop on the back, it's 50 LOUD watts, comes with a nice foot switch that's very easy to use, the amp is not too big or too heavy. You could use it at home for practice or to jam with friends and maybe do some small gigs with it. I'm hoping it won't break down as the other person before me said it did. By the way, the preset lead tone is great, with a touch of delay and lots of good sustain, it has a chunky tight sound to it that I really like.
I played it the other night and really enjoyed the sound. Lots of fun to play. I think for this price, for what you get, for the quality of the sounds, I think this amp is a great deal, providing it doesn't break down. I'm glad I bought it and I'm really impressed with this amp, and that's coming from a guy who owns a top of the line Boogie half stack.
Don't expect the Marshall MG50FX to sound like a $2,000 Boogie or Marshall valve amp, but it does sound great for what it is.
If you're a young guitar player, playing in your first band, and you need a good amp on a budget, this amp might be the one to get. You can just plug in to it and play. No need for outboard FX just to rock out. ....but you can add them if you want using the FX loop.
I just WISH I had something like the MG50 back when I was first playing in bands. This thing smokes all the solid state amps I used to use back in the 80's and 90's.
 Good deal if you can manage to use it Jul 27, 2011
By GS
For the price not a bad amp at all but for me, it was completely useless.
The first day I had this amp, the plastic nut on the outside of the jack fell off. To get the jack back out, of course, you have to unscrew the head from the top, pull it out and push the jack back. Turns out this happened virtually every time I moved it. The jack isn't long enough for the nut to screw in sufficiently. This means anytime I take it anywhere I have to go through this process. A pain to say the least. The amp is rendered worthless because of a 20 cent piece of plastic. Only truly shoddy craftsmanship could manage that.
