      Me too man. I got it from my mom as an Xmas gift in 2004 (mg30dfx) . Its seen a lot of use i think its time for an upgrade. Its paid its way in spades. Its more sentimental to me than anything. Im really digging those orange amps rn. Been saving for a cabinet and head. Great amp for the price.

      @@Anshul1614 It really is, now mind you, I don't care for the tone of the amp itself, the cleans are good and the distortion is alright, but I've always used processing pedals with it.

    Bought this one back in 2006 or 07 and now in 2024 I'm still using it. It has one of THEE BEST sounding low gain crunch distortion sound which is completely free from these annoying 10kHz frequences you get on 90% of pedals and amps. I love this thing for studio recording and jamming at home. My go to low gain distortion sound in a non-live setup! If you can get your hands on one, grab it!

Great amps - the 50 is good enough to gig with but the 30 dies when pushed hard for long stretches . Good stuff. Have to call you Hank from now on :-) .

    Really nice amp Rob. Absolute bargain for £40, better than amps that cost x3 as much maybe even 4. The FDD sounded a lot better on I think especially on the OD channel. The digital effects on the mg series are pretty much useless though apart from reverb. I bet it would sound even better with a guitar with humbuckers. Anyway great video. I posted a demo of the satellite by the way.
