Affordable, All Tube, and All Marshall!

This Marshall MA100C 50-watt all-tube combo amplifier is priced to fit your budget, and it's just the right size for portable gigging! The 2-channel, 1 x 12" MA50C gives you everything from sparkling clean tones all the way to molten sustain, and its solo-friendly boost switch and Crunch Balance knob allow you to effectively add another "channel" to your onstage arsenal. You also get onboard reverb, an effects loop, and a 2-button footswitch with the massive-sounding, versatile, and affordable Marshall MA50C!





Marshall MA50C 50-watt, 2-channel Tube Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Tweak your favorite tones with two channels (and then some)
  • Add dimension to your sound
  • Authentic Marshall tube power means authentic Marshall tone

Tweak your favorite tones with two channels (and then some)
The MA50C gives you clean and overdrive channels, each with an independent volume control and a 3-band EQ for serious tone shaping. The overdrive channel is equipped with an additional gain knob, a boost switch, and Crunch Balance knob. The gain knob adds an additional level of gain staging, providing the classic Marshall crunch sound. Engaging the boost switch delivers a mean Marshall grind for effortless soloing or powerful metal riffing. The MA50C's Crunch Balance knob sets the level difference between the overdrive and boost levels, effectively yielding a three-channel sound. An included footswitch allows switching between the current channel settings.

Add dimension to your sound
The Marshall MA50C combo gives you presence and resonance controls in the Master section, for an extra dimension of overall tonal control with a wide range of sound shadings. A select spring reverb is built in; the depth of the reverb effect is also controlled in the Master section. From subtle to outrageous, these functions add a ton of tonal goodness to the MA50C's already amazing range of sounds!

Authentic Marshall tube power means authentic Marshall tone
When you want tube-flavored, crank-able Marshall, tone, just plug into the MA50C! Its power amp stage features two EL34 pentode tubes; the preamp stage uses three ECC83 (or 12AX7) dual triode tubes. This tried-and-true combination gives you the authentic, heavy Marshall sound you know and love. The rear panel has serial effects loop In and Out jacks plus 8-Ohm and 16-Ohm speaker outputs. The MA50C's included footswitch also connects via the rear panel.

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
