Anyone ever used a Marshall Micro Stack MS2 to record?

[Young Angus]

I recently got a Micro Stack, just the ultra cheap Vietnamese 3 watt (or whatever it is) solid state pignose thing, and I love it! I'm thinking that I could easily use this to record something cool one day...has anyone ever done it with one of these before?

no, I have one too and mine does not sound good enough to record. the speaker is too small to get a good tone from (with my ears). good luck though.

You can get some cool sounds if you hit it with the nastiest loudest distortion or fuzz you can find. Makes for a cool lo-fi solo kinda tone.

Ironically enough, It did sound real good with my Ibanez TM-5 Thrashmetal.

I used to be very interested in getting one but felt they were pretty spendy for what you got. I'm interested once again because of this thread.... Thanks alot. lol I'd be interested in hearing those clips.

Just to make it clear I'm talking about the tiny little pignose belt clipable micro stack here...the one that can run on a single 9volt battery

Not the actual mini-stack looking amp with a single 12" speaker or whatever it's got in it.

I doubt it would sound good. I had one once and usually it just ate batteries really fast and made ugly noises. But if you want screechy low-fi it might do the trick.

Billy Gibbons did some recording with one. I have no clue where I read that.

It eats batteries but that's why you get a 9v adapter for it...it's the coolest practice amp I've played on EVER! I'd take one over a Roland Cube anyday

Love it, simple circuit, just plug it in, turn it up as loud as it goes, and cut through like nothing else!

One of our forum bros did a recording using the mini-twin and a $100 Epiphone and it sounded outstanding! Go for it.

I guess you're right. I had some trouble with my MS-2 so my opinions are
not that objective. However, it was years ago so maybe I don't remember
so well anymore...
