Sorry about the audio sync issues in this one everyone, I must have made an error right before exporting. I also didn't mute the video track on the last reamped playthrough, so you get to hear Gamers Nexus in the background LOL!
If it at least had some cabinet emulation, it sounds like distortion pedal plugged straigh into a mixing board, no low end, just fizz. Blackstar makes similar style micro combo which doesn't sound that bad at all for example.
@@jiri951 no cab emulation will solve this. You are expecting as 12" speaker sound from a 1" speaker. "No low end"... Really? it's a toy!!!! The purpose of this is to study with batteries and display on the shelf. And for that its amazing.
@@vexguine right? This is supposed to be a souvenir the fact that it makes a sound and plays it’s just plain awesome. Lmao I feel like this went over peoples heads. I worry about people that think it was supposed something worth bitchin about
Oh man, my first foray into guitar amplification at eleven years old! I remember clipping this little thing to my belt like Jack Black did on School of Rock. Been a Marshall fan ever since and this little puppy proudly sits atop my JCM 800.
The problem with these amps is that the speaker they use is not designed for guitar tone, so, it will sound bad. BUT if you pass your signal through a cab sim (aka an eq) before the amps input, or if you use an external cabinet, you will have a sound you will not hate... I ve done it, it works
If you disconnect the internal speaker and connect the wires to an output jack and plug it into a 1x12 cab it sounds pretty good as a bedroom amp. Put the amps knobs on max and use the volume knob on the guitar to go from clean to distortion and use the tone knob on your guitar to control the treble. I did it with the MS-4 and MS-2 and from memory I think the ms-4 had a bit more gain
Man, I must have had this same thing since I was about 12 years old. Haha. These are great to stick on a workbench when you're working on a guitar and just need to make sure something is passing signal. It's also pretty cool to mic up for recording to get that kind of "broken radio" sort of tone.
Have an original version , and it rocks ! The newer one is very close to my first one in sound and quality , and have had that for 25 years 🤘 Full blast it’s versatile depending on which guitar is plugged into it .

This amp is all over the later period stuff from Blur. The demented genius Graham Coxon is a big fan of it, off the top of my head it's the intro guitar sound to Tender and it's providing the bass fuzz on song 2.
I work at a Goodwill and recently I bought 2 little amps that were donated in the same week: a Lyon LA5 practice amp and a Fender Mini Deluxe. I bought them both out of curiosity because I've never played through something small like that. They sounded a lot better than I thought they would and are really fun. The Lyon actually has a nice distorted character when the gain and tone are cranked. My neighbor was fascinated by the Mini Deluxe and considered it a steal for $8.
Marshall should have spotted that the MS2 makes a better pedal than micro amp! I bought it when it first came out and came to that conclusion after a few hours playing.
Well done Ryan! Wishing you and your Family a Very Merry Christmas! Thanks for all you've shared this year! Peace, Love and Joy To All! Merry Christmas Brothers!
Huh, I've done the IR thing with this little guy before, but NEVER would've thought to have used it as a pedal in front of a tube amp. Gonna try this with my Bassman soon. 👍👍
YES! Can't believe no-one ever talks about those! I got one from my Grandpa over ten years ago (and he had it for even longer) - they're built like tanks for REAL, such a sick design where it like opens up like a chest and shit to put the battery in! Love 'em! Cheers, haha!
This was the most thorough and intelligent way possible to evaluate the “amp.” Great video that addressed a lot of craft-boredom what-if scenarios we all considered at one time. I hit Subscribe. Looking forward to other vids.
I just ordered my second Marshall MS-2 in red! Are they toys? Yes. Do they sound great? No. Do they get you chix? Yes!!! But on the serious side, I find them to be really good to practice technique where you're not distracted by how delicious your $2,000 amp and effects pedals sound. If you can sound good on this little thing, you can sound good on ANYTHING! Just sayyin'.
Random GUY I heard the radio by touching the lead on the nut of the input jack on the guitar and had the amp on a decent amount of gain, but only when I had the guitar pointed in a certain position... weird
@@judehastings2643 yeah if I remember correctly it happens when you have a dirty AC unit(so you get a little bit more noise when using hi gain) but nothing that a noise gate can't solve
I plan on getting one of these to gut out and make a suitcase amp, they are 8 ohm...so I can use most 8 ohm low wat speakers. So I will make a video with my final product using a 15w 10 inch fender frontman speaker.
I put a 10k potentiometer right before the speaker as a "master volume" and it changed everything. Now I can "crank it up" at low volumes. Next step is to connect it to a bigger speaker.
I got mine in 1993 when I was 20. I upgraded to a Crate GX-15 in 1999. At the time I didn't even have an amp, but a PA tape thing they had in schools years before, that I borrowed from my brother.
its good for testing stuff . i paid 3 for mine . it had a broken wire . curious to try it line out into a class d amp board feeding a 12. also there is a speaker out mod i will try but ... that would be more of a novelty . ultimately i am working towards a FET version of a jcm800 feeding a class d board . runs off lithium ion cells with a spring reverb tank / driver circuit . . . i know i am weird . the idea is to pair it with my existing wet rig which has a ton of gain and all kind sof custom patvches with all the bells and whistles so the center channel will be more clean ish , with just a il spring verb as i love that sound . this marshall mini doesnt really fit in with this plan but i will try it ... i think where this "amp" stands out as an upgrade from my 9 volt 1.5 inch mini amp from first act which is apocket amp i use for testing stuff like pedal circuits when i finish diy them . to be honest i thought it sounded better than i had expected as anything with an alarm clock speaker is pretty awful . which this is but ... maybe a step up ? lol . i will be trying it line out though so thanks for the video pal .
I was digging that tone when you put the SD-1 and played some Mastodon. I would hope those guys see this video and make that rig and secretly tour with it. Everyone is praising their tone and they’re sitting in the tour bus laughing maniacally at their Illuminati tone box lol
Yeah, they were really popular in the 70s, but I never hear anyone talk about them. I still see one in a shop occasionally, so they're still making them! Peace
I'm thinking about getting a power amp like the pedal baby or power stage for my airis effects preamp. I think the cabinet's gonna be the biggest make or break for any of these gear setups
@@JMK-kb1yq I'm gonna try the eminence Texas heat and one of the redcoat speakers (governor or cv-75) in a mesa recto 2x12 copy. Any thoughts on the governor?
Why would anyone expect a battery powered 1980's design novelty micro amp with a tiny speaker to sound convincingly like a real amp? It's quite an old circuit, and there's no modelling involved. The sounds you can get with this little device aren't meat and potatoes sounds. But the MS-2, perhaps surprisingly, actually pops up on albums here and there when an artist or producer is looking for something oddball. It's the amp equivalent of using an old telephone handset as a microphone. There are no bad sounds. Just sounds you personally don't like or which don't suit the purpose you have in mind.
Yeah! Bought mine in '91... used it a lot. And of course, connected it to an real speaker (Ragin' Cajun). And get awesome sounds! Love this HomeAmp mod. Just added a switch to disconnect the internal speaker, and that's it. You can hear it right here... th-cam.com/video/R2E6ulIGmyA/w-d-xo.html
You can find vids of that out there, it seems to work out reasonably well. For me, its one of those projects that is super low on the priority list, but I do want to get around to it eventually. Id do it to my blackstar fly first, just because I actually have one
Ive been wanting to get one of these puppies for a while. I do like the idea of modding it to have a 1/4" out. It is exceedingly easy, and would be a fun project for little money. I do have one of the small Blackstar amps that Ive been wanting to do the same mod, but always have more "important" things to do.
I had one of the early production ones back in the mid 80s . I used it with a MXR Distortion + when I would busk in Center City Philadelphia. Worked great.
I would love to see a JHS mod MS2 pedal or something like that. The character of the distortion sounds mostly okay to me. It just needs an 18V mod and a proper "pedal" EQ
Some clips didn't stick to their audio when you moved them around in editing dude. Not only does the audio sync slip for a little while, but during one of the into-an-amp demos the camera audio from a different clip plays I think.
Say you are a teacher and carries guitar . And you want a very comfortable amp.. this is the right one and who cares if it sounds bad you can still practice. After all practice will only make guitar sound better.. that is the only thing that will take you further not amps..
Wait I thought emg and blackouts are low output pickups but the active board is what provides them with more power. I just mean to ask because I’m just curious if high output passive pickups would have the same problem.
I had one of these almost 20 years ago lol. It had some awesome stoner tone when the battery was dying but i agree there's much better options out there now
i allways kinda liked that thing haha , but i allways saw it more as a toy and as far as i remember it wasnt that expensive back when i bought it , and for just playing a bit anywhere i wanted it served its purpos everytime :) still have it and now that i saw this i gonna mess around with it as a pedal too haha

The mod where you make it a power amp and run it into a larger cab is actually really solid. It is usable and unique-sounding.
