Most of the guitarists out there seem to be happy with this little amp. As I have mentioned, we own two of these little beauties and I have had one for around 10 years. They are a fun little amp and, as with the Vox we reviewed Power supply with a 9 V battery or via 9 V DC mains adapter (both not included in delivery - suitable mains adapter: art. 409939) The MS-2 is the ultimate mini amp. It is powered by battery or mains power and you will find lurking in its small 14 x 11 x 6 cm case a genuine, rich Marshall sound. This little miracle of sound can be switched to clean and overdrive mode and has a tone control with extreme bandwidth. The Marshall MS-2 Micro Amplifier is a fantastic product for anyone in need of a portable and reliable amplifier for their guitar. As a compact and lightweight device, it's incredibly easy to carry around, making it an ideal option for anyone looking to practice on the go or perform in small venues.

Tone - There are no individual controls for bass and treble but using this master tone control will adjust your sound from bass to treble. If you take the Marshall MS2 for what it is (a low powered, low cost, good quality, highly portable, mini practice amp) you won't be disappointed. It is perfect for home practice, taking out and about or even busking.The only potential downside is that the MS-2 is powered by a 9V battery, which may need to be replaced frequently if used frequently. However, this is a minor issue considering the overall convenience and quality of the product. Let your creativity flourish. Because the Marshall MS-2 Micro Amp gifts players with the coveted, sweet Marshall tone in their most compact unit. Offering plenty of tone-shaping control, switchable clean and overdrive modes, and classic British guitar sound - the MS-2 encapsulates everything we love about Marshall amps. And delivers it all in a format more convenient than ever.

You need to remember that this is only a 1 watt amplifier so it is never going to be as loud as some of the higher powered practice amps we have looked at. Having said that, considering the relatively low power output, you will be surprised at how loud it actually is (especially on overdrive).Additionally, there is also a headphone connector through which an external power amplifier can be controlled. Power (Off/On/OD) - The power control also switches between the clean and overdrive settings. It has to be said that this amp really comes into its own when switched to OD. You might struggle to get a high volume clean sound but once you are in overdrive, you get the Marshall sound you would expect.

If you take the Marshall MS2 for what it is (a low powered, low cost, good quality, highly portable, mini practice amp) you won't be disappointed.
