I am blown away....just totally lost for words, utterly gob smacked !

I have just got one of those micro Marshall half stacks (a princely 30 bucks, complete with free battery), an MS2 I think it is called and it is just awesome.

My favorite trick is clipping it to my belt and wondering round our flat worrying things (like my wife, the hedgehog or several inanimate objects I have never liked) or I can take it in the can with me !

Has any one else had similar revelations ? Or even tried any other brands of Micro amp, I know Fender and Vox make 'em.
Any thoughts please !

i know you got for a bargain but what do you think a normal store/street price would be? the list price is probably better to know i guess, either is fine.
also, what kind of controls does it have? eq, fx?
and how accessible is it? would it be sold at most guitar stores or is a hard-to-get rarity?
finally, what are the approximate dimensions of the MS2?
sounds great already.
Thanks for listening to this small piece of me.

Im thinking about getting one of those and to
buy some batteries to my effects pedal.
Would'nt that be totally awesome, to walk around
in town playing some blazing solos with an amp and a pedal
attached to my belt.
Hell yeah!

I got mine for about 30 bucks from music123.com. It is about 7 in x 4 in x 2 in and packs a mighty 1 watt ! I donā€™t know what it will sound like outside however our hedgehog has taken to warring earplugs !

Sorry to hear about your hedgehog man, we are on African Pigmy #2 (Barney), like all small mammals, they donā€™t live forever. Ours has more living space than us at the moment !

I have the Fender Mini Twin myself and it sure is good, the clean channel at least. Great thing to have when traveling around...
Thanks

Hmmm... so instead of buying a $2000 stack, all you need is a mini and a mic to feed the soundboard?

$2000 stack it isnā€™t, I think it is meant as a practice tool !

I havenā€™t tried micking it (I usually record direct, neighbors and all that) though I guess I could try it! Maybe good for a sort of far away / very mad sort of guitar effect if I tweaked the bass EQ a bit. I really bought as a sort of sitting in front of the TV / sitting on the can amp. (shame on me) and for that, it is perfect !

I was the one under the log, hedgehogs have no respect for volume ! Especially after a beer or two !!!

hey guys,
i just got an MS2! the only difference is that it's red, but other than the color it's identical. i was downtown at this little guitar shop that has a lot of Marshall gear. it has a really nice mini-stack too. not a micro-stack, mini-stack. it's a four-foot tall tube amp. head and two cabs. i played that for so long. but i went upstairs where they have a little more gear and some cool tab books, i looked into a little display case and saw the MS2. i immediately started trying it out and was very impressed. i bought it right there. it was about 35dollars. goooood stuff.
now i hold CANUCKFEST at my house every weekend. heh heh. i like that.
thanks for your info about it, i didn't even think about taking it to the can!!

The people at marshall and elsewhere are definately not that dumb.
If that were so,who'd buy the $2000 stacks then?
Duhh!!!:D
