Marshall Micro Stack (MSIIMG15)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marshall redefined the size of the Marshall stack with the release of the Marshall micro stack. The orinal Marshall micro stack was produced from 1985-1991 and featured 12 watts of power. While popular for its looks, the amp was noted for its poor transistor based sound quality which never effectively emulated the sound of a normal stack.
Revisiting the idea, Marshall took the look of the original micro stack (a small head that sits on two 8 inch speaker cabs, one slanted the other straight) and added the sound and features of their MG15CDR practice amp. This amp features authentic spring reverb and Marshall's exclusive Frequency Dependent Damping (which mimics the way an all tube amp interacts with a speaker). The clean channel also features a distortion to volume ratio which lightly increases a soft tube like distortion as the clean volume is raised (to more accurately mimic an all tube amp). While volume restrictions exist due to the 15 watt limit on power, the new MSIIM15 amp has a sound quality that on first listen could be mistaken for a true Marshall stack.
