Marshall Amplifier Speaker (MG412BG)

-This thing is very heavy and the placement on the handles is weird so you'll need two people to move it. Not because it's so heavy, just because of the handle placement.-I am using this in a weird way because I don't have a head for it yet. Here is my signal chain that works really nicely:Guitar>Small combo amp>line out to a Hotone cheap head's effect loop in = awesome, loud sound.I put a pair of headphones into the headphone plug of the combo amp to basically shut off the output of the combo amp.The volume knob on the combo amp controls volume (not on the Hotone head).The Hotone head is one of those $55 ones you can get anywhere and it's tiny, but is just acting as a power amplifier in this case. Using the effects loop bypasses the Hotone's EQ/volume/and actual tone.I can also just use the Hotone as a normal head and not use the combo amp, but I really like the sound of that combo amp, so I did it this way. For fun. I also have a Mesa Boogie DC but it's too loud for home use.This thing is physically smaller (but still HUGE). It's basically four 12" speakers squished into a cabinet meant to normally hold four 10" speakers.I got the idea of powering a big Marshall cabinet with a Hotone from the guys at "Andertons Music Co" on Ytube.I saw things online that the MG series didn't sound good, etc. Dave Simpson uses one and basically says: people online just echo what they've read--and know nothing. He gets GREAT tones out of his. He's also on Ytube.Again, this thing is awkward to move by yourself. It's only about 70lbs so I've seen someone hoist it up on their shoulder and walk with it (but it was a big dude) and it was still in the box. Trying to use the handles by yourself is difficult: the corners of the cab hit right in the center of my forearms and it's not conducive to safely moving it.I just keep my in the same spot, so I don't care. Makes it harder to steal ;)

I bought this for my son for Christmas. It’s shakes the whole house.. which is what he wanted. He loves it

Great addition to go from half stack to full. All the quality you would expect from Marshall
