2000 Marshall G-30 RCD amp
One of the early MG-series, introduced by Marshall in the late-90s, and still going strong today. Great, portable amp, with all the Marshall tones you'd hope for in a solid-state amp - from clean through to searing overdrive.
And if you really want to rock out, try it with this take no prisoners 1988 Gibson Flying V'90. Monsters of rock!

There's a lot of history behind this amp . . . well, that part of the Marshall history that created the hybrid tube/transitor Valvestate amps, from which the MG series was developed. However small the box, the speaker, the output, Jim Marshall and the team set themselves the goal of recreating the Marshall sound without compromise.

And you get the benefits of that commitment with this early MG combo. Great clean Marshall tones, and loads of crunch in overdrive settings. The only feature that seems to be modest is the reverb, a lot more subtle than you'd expect. But if you're here for reverb, best try a Fender instead!

One of the big selling points when this first came out in 2000 was the CD Input. Streaming was already upsetting the applecart. And this was just one year before the launch of iTunes . . . The peak before the fall for CDs. Fortunately, the input isn't bothered about your chosen technology, so any source will work with a 3/4" jack input!

A perfect combo for home practice or small gigs. And, it's a Marshall.
