OK you must have misunderstood.

IMO the MG series of Marshall sound like ass..

THey take a 200 dollar crap SS amp... Slap a marshall nameplate on it.. and that instantly raises the price of the amp up to $500. Then they get Zakk Wylde to say he uses it and they make a killing selling it to people who want a Marshall.

Now dont get me wrong... Marshall Tube amps sound GREAT... IMO you should get one of those... A JCM800 or something..

The MG series is a budget line that sounds like crap... if you only want to spend $500 I could find you a handful of amps that sound way better.

But I would Spend more on my Amp then I would on the guitar... a great guitar through a crappy amp sounds like crap. A crappy guitar through a great amp sounds good.

Where in NFLD are you? Have you checked Craigslist? some great deals to be had there!

Edit: The Fender is a great amp... but imo it wont do TOOL of SOAD very well.
