Marshall MS-2 Micro Amp Black – Portable Guitar Amplifier

Quick Product Summary

The Marshall MS-2 Micro Amp Black packs classic Marshall styling and guitar-friendly sounds into an ultra-compact 1-watt practice amplifier. With clean and overdrive modes, simple volume and tone controls, a built-in speaker and headphone output, it is an easy way to practise wherever space is limited.

Battery operation and an integrated belt clip make the MS-2 particularly useful for travelling, casual practice and playing away from mains power, while its tiny footprint makes it an ideal desktop or bedroom amp.

What Makes the Marshall MS-2 Special?

The MS-2 takes the unmistakable look of a Marshall stack and shrinks it into a genuinely portable guitar amplifier. Despite measuring only 140mm tall, it gives players control over volume and tone along with a selectable overdrive sound for adding extra grit and crunch.

Its straightforward design makes it especially easy to use: plug in your guitar, choose between the standard and overdrive voices and adjust your sound. A dedicated headphone output also allows for quieter practice when using the built-in speaker is not suitable.

• Beginners wanting a simple, easy-to-use amplifier
