Peyman Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 "Marshall MG15" or "Roland Cube-10GX"? Which do you recommend? Due to my country and my financial situation, they're the best options I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) No contest, for me; the Roland has models of several amp functions, and is far more flexible, on its own, that the Marshall. That's not to say that the Marshall is not a decent amp (it costs quite a bit less, for a start...), but it's only a Marshall in that it bears the logo; nothing like the classic, typical 'Marshall' tone. What country are you in..? Maybe other options could be suggested, if we knew your location and budget..?

So you recommend Relond cube? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those two, yes. I'm not sure about availability, nor local pricing, but I would highly recommend the Blackstar ID Core 10 as an alternative. I've recently acquired one of these, second-hand, and it's excellent. Just sayin'. Edited July 15, 2023 by Dad3353 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randythoades Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I agree with @Dad3353. the Roland will cover a lot more options than the Marshall. It will do a Marshall sound as well as any of the other classic amps that you could wish for. Any of the modelling amps (Fender Mustang, Vox Valvetronix, Positive Spark, Blackstar etc) will more flexible and possibly sound better than the Marshall (I have had one of the MG series and it was 'ok', but moved it on quickly once I got a Fender Mustang).

Crusoe Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I'm not sure if it would be available to you in Iran, but you could also look at the Mooer Hornet 15W amp. It would be cheaper than the Roland. There are a few different models of the Hornet, each with different amp models. The white one, for example, would be better suited to blues guitar, whereas the black one is aimed more at the heavy metal player. It also has a built in tuner, 3 modulation effects, 3 delay and 3 reverb effects. Edited July 17, 2023 by Crusoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
