Mini Stack Series MS-2R Micro Guitar Amplifier

For the price it is obviously not going to sound absolutely amazing but it still sounds good, my husband and I got it for our son so he could play anywhere and it works good for him. Without having to lug around a massive amp, I call that a win.

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.

Sweet little amp, can’t do everything that a bigger amp can but who would expect that out of such a small amp? It’s very handy! Can be powered by AA batteries or a plug. Note that it didn’t come with the plug.

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

I bought this with zero expectation of quality sound, it got me by surprise how clean and loud it can get with a 9v battery, specially if you use active EMG pickups with the overdrive on you are on for a treat. I plugged a Boss GT-1000 to it and it still holds the tone amazingly. Great for the price

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

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.
