Marshall Amplifiers Review: MG250DFX

History: I've been playing in bands for the past ten years and have owned many different amps. I bought the marshall because I did like the sound in the store and trusted the name if something would go wrong.

Purchase: I bought it at guitar center for $500 which is the place i returned it for $250.

What I Like About This Marshall Amplifiers MG250DFX: The clean tone was ok and the distortion was adequate.

What I Do NOT Like About The Marshall Amplifiers MG250DFX: In all Marshall MG series amps they are cooled internally by a very cheap little plastic fan. This amp made a strange grinding noise after 6 months of use. This was the fan motor dying. After a year the fan stopped working and the amp would overheat (one of these times was at a show). When this happens the amp shuts down and if you don't have a backup your screwed!! Marshall's warranty is over rated cause they don't pay for shipping. Just because it says marshall doesn't mean its good.

Marshall Amplifiers MG250DFX Quality Rating: The construction quality is irreleavant because the whole amp depends on a 3 dollar plasctic fan.

Review Summary: Sounds ok but it was not reliable because of this seemingly small problem that ruined many practices and a show for me

Rating of this Marshall Amplifiers product: 1
