User questions & answers

Question:	can this be used for a microphone
Answer:	If the microphone has a quarter inch jack it will work. There is only one input jack.
Question:	I'm looking for something for an bass guitar. I'd be playing with only one other guitar in either a living room or dinning hall setting, will it work
Answer:	Bass is really not going to sound very nice through this amp, even in a small setting. You'll sound much better through an amp that's designed for bass, like a Peavey MAX 126 or Fender Rumble 15.
Question:	any chance this is powerful enough to play in the street
Answer:	Would be adequate for street corner or subway playing. Subway acoustics are fantastic with overdrive. About 30 foot radius of good volume...fades after that. Sound quality is true to that of the Marshall name.
Question:	Can this be used with acoustic guitars
Answer:	Yes. The Marshall MS2 Micro Amp has very low noise even at volume setting up to 10. The Overdrive (OD) switch gives a rather clean Marshall-like sound, compared to Marshall heads from the late '70s (a major effort with Marshall amps then was noise reduction/control). In writing this response I tested one of my MS2 micro amps (I use two, for two effects channels then out through the headphone jack for 4 (two left two right) channels to the mixer board), and plugged in my Ovation-Celebrity CC57. I turned the volume of the Celebrity pickup to 10 (the pickup is very weak) and changed the volume on the MS2 from 0 to 10 (first test), and also engaged the OD switch (second test). Without the OD in play the quality of the sound was acceptable, i.e. just a clean acoustic guitar sound. With the OD in play the noise jumps and we get a kind-of Marshall-like sound from the weak pickup. So I can recommend using the Marshall MS2 Micro Amp even with an acoustic (i.e. acoustic-hybrid electric) guitar as a practice amp and as part of an effects system (pre-amp stage). And the MS2 is very inexpensive. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you connect this to a microphone
Answer:	if you mic interface has 1/4" plug it should work.
Question:	Is this good for e drums
Answer:	Only used with guitar, I’m only a porch player and it sounds as good as my 20/40 Marshal
Question:	Is this dual voltage 120 and 220 v
Answer:	I don't think so. It's only labeled 120v and 60 hz. It is a high quality 24 watt amp.
Question:	Is it comfortable
Answer:	It’s good for price. But if you can spend the extra I would get a code amp because if you continue to play you will upgrade anyway.

User questions & answers

Question:	Being that this is a modeling amp, can you get overdriven or saturated tones at extremely low volumes
Answer:	Yes. But for the tone to sound good you’ll have to play with some of the settings.
Question:	How does the usb recording interface work? is it easy to control output level? (my super champ x2 only allowed you to control "usb gain" on laptop
Answer:	It works, but at least on a Mac, it's somewhat flakey. Once connected, ouput level can be controlled from the unit -- although not via the Bluetooth app. In fact, I haven't been able to use the app simultaneously with USB, hopefully this will be addressed in future firmware upgrades. The Apogee Jam remains my go to interface into Logic Pro.
Question:	Is this a solid state amp
Answer:	It is solid state. It is great at emulating tube amp sounds and makes a great practice amp!
Question:	Will this work well with an orange micro terror? Would this be good for gigs
Answer:	I would not think orange micro is a good application. You would want to mic the amp or use headphone jack for larger gigs. The amp has plenty of volume for small events

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have a footswitch input
Answer:	No footswitch input
Question:	Is this amp for acoustic guitars

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a cable to connect the guitar
Answer:	No
Question:	Does this have aux in if i wanted to use it to as a speaker too
Answer:	It has an MP3 line in socket. It can be used to play back MP3's, CD's and tape tracks by connecting the line out or head phone jack and by adjusting the volume of the player to the guitar, you can play along with recorded sound
Question:	Does "Combo Amp" mean it's suitable for an acoustic guitar as well or am I better off just buying an acoustic amp
Answer:	No. Combo amp means it is 1 box with both the amp and the speaker, not separate boxes that stack one on the other. That doesn't mean it is or is not suitable for acoustic.
Question:	What is the wattage
Answer:	Good morning, Total output wattage is 15 Watts Regards

User questions & answers

Question:	What about my Telecaster? Will this headphone amp work in it
Answer:	Yeah it will work. I have stratocaster, and I was more concerned that it would not fit in my jack. The amp jack on the pocket amp does not protrude too far out of the back of the pocket amp so it will work just fine.
Question:	is it possible to hook a male to male 3.5mm to the amp and 3.5mm headphones and improve my laptops weak sound
Answer:	It is, but be careful. Headphone output is 32 ohms. Amplifier input is either 1,000 or 10,000 ohms, depending on the amp. What this means is that the headphone output is capable of delivering about 300 times more power than the input of the amp is capable of taking. So you could, conceivably, burn out the first pre-amp section of your amplifier by turning the headphone volume on this thing up too much. That said, I bought this thing and finally tossed it as un-usable for my needs. If what you need is more volume in the headphones, consider buying an external headphone amp or mini mixer like the Behringer XENYX502 5-Channel Mixer here on Amazon. I DO NOT recommend the LePai amplifier. I have bought TWO and they both stink.
Question:	Is this only a headphone amp
Answer:	It has a headphone jack, with the right cable you can connect it to line in on mini speakers or on a stereo. The unit itself is only an amp, no internal speaker
Question:	Can i use it with an acoustic-electric guitar
Answer:	Yes, you can. Used with headphones, there will be no feedback. I have hooked it into my stero system and there is feedback if I get too close or too loud. I enjoy the electric part of the acoustic electric guitar, it can be quite different than the straight acoustic sound.

User questions & answers

Question:	does this AC30 give you both classic rock and metal effect? in the same device
Answer:	It gives you gain control, plus a few echo effects. If you want Metal I believe there is a metal version vox device.. Hope that helps!
Question:	What is the difference between the models? specifically the lead and classic rock models
Answer:	From Vox: AC30: Provides the AC30 top boost sound. Classic Rock: Delivers the classic crunch of a UK-made 100W amp. Metal: Gives you the extreme high-gain sound of a US-made amp. Bass: Designed specifically for low frequencies, offering a wide-range response.
Question:	Does this model (AC30) have an overdrive / distortion mode? Trying to decide between this one and the "Classic Rock" model
Answer:	The ac30 does not have a distortion mode. What I love about this one is it is super clean sounding. I'm 100% sure you can buy a piece to go from it to a pedal than to the head set, but take it from me don't get there ac30 headset or any of the headset period with this. Buy a gaming headset, with a Mic. To everyone else sounds like your singing to no music, but sounds so clear to the user. Ac30 is better than I could ever hope for I recommend it 100% to anyone. Let me know what you think. XD
Question:	what size headphone jack does it have

User questions & answers

Question:	can i record through garage band
Answer:	honestly I've never separated the cabs I Velcro'd it stacked so its like a full stack, lemme go check THEN...................................... OK checked, heres the lo Down.. the chorus is in full stereo meaning it echos in both right and left speakers however its simultaneous and does not PAN left and right like an echoplex or true stereo echo that I could tell? you'll laugh anyways at the chord that comes with the 103, its like 24 inches long.. WHY? its phone plugs so EASY to find old home style phone cables, dunno your age maybe you've never seen one? yea int he day we had our phones connected to a wall outlet with a cable, its like a small like cat5 (rj45 is the standard name) you've seen cat5 its what your computer hooks up to the Ethernet with..all in all its WELL worth it its a GREAT little amp specially with the full stack setup, the echo works FANTASTIC and quite frankly I wish I had one that worked that well on my bigger stuff despite the non stereo panning, I have a Johnson Two Fifty and a Digitech GSP 2101 studio tube for all that stuff, yea man get a Johnson 150 250 or the digitech GSP 2101 if you want true stereo panning, WOW, I work it in QUAD and can dial it in however I like cuz its FULLY programmable with algorithms!!!tell you what tho I have mic's this little Blackstar and IT ROCKS!!! yup, if you have a board that does stereo panning then there ya go! crank n go, funny what I like to do is plug my acoustic into it then mic the Blackstar through the PA and recording or playing live that way SUCH A NICE CRISP CLEAN SOUND because yo don't have all that power in the way stepping on its own dork soaking up all the interference if ya know what I mean, try it you will be totally surprised, typing in this minuscule dialogue box is difficult at best, why so small Amazon?its a great little box (fact I tried em all cept the orange that I'm told is compatable and it smokes them ALL)not sure what you need it to do but for whatever the hunnerd for both is a FANTASTIC deal considering what it can do and the sound that can come out of it... distortion works well too, I love the little thing i use it at the park then in my bedroom so the neighbors can sleep and I don't have to pay finesfor an electric I use a nice 61 Strat that has some really really hot hand wound Gepettos then those run into a FULL Clapton mid boost, the works, yup so that lil boost in signal really makes that Blackstar a beast in its own rights..all in all I give it 10 stars with the other speaker
Question:	it has a footswitch jack,can you go from a clean sound hit the switch and go into over drive for a solo
Answer:	Blackstar has their own power supply specifically for this. Amazon sells it on it's own for around $20, and I believe when you buy the 3 pack, the Blackstar power supply comes with it. I can't say for sure, as I bought just the single unit. Save yourself the trouble and buy the 3-pack - the amp on it's own is incredible, and the stack is well worth the price. Just make sure it comes with the proprietary Blackstar power supply.
Question:	Does Fuse work with this amp
Answer:	absolutely not ! The fly 3 runs on 6volts /positive tip . When you buy the fly on amazon, the planet waves adaptor is suggested . My friend bought the fly to his son and pluged it on a 9 volts adapter...... he blew the amp . You may pay a little more but buy the right adapter, it works well and saves batteries
Question:	What is in the box
Answer:	Yes, for the extension cabinet, which expands this from 3w to 6w. The 3-pack is a good deal, because a) you get better volume but mainly because b) it includes the power supply, which means that c) the extension cabinet is virtually free.

Question:	What kind of power supply does this use? Can I plug into the wall or does it take batteries? I'm not very familiar with amplifiers, thanks
Answer:	Documentation does not say, not on the box either. Coverage area indicates it is 2.4. Works very well I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck.
Question:	Would this be good for Karaoke (I have a Karaoke Mixer) or for connecting to a Projector to boost the sound
Answer:	It depends on the dealer's policy.
Question:	Does it come with a wire
Answer:	Just received the DWS-3 system today on recommendations from numerous reviews and forums. Plugged it in using my Warwick Thumb 5-string and GK mb500. No discernible difference from using a standard cable. Handled the low B string just fine. I’m confident it will do fine at gig this weekend with GK+SWR Goliath III cab.
Question:	Can this amp used for violin? Does it has speakers
Answer:	As it is I found that mine did also , after research for a few minutes I found that it was my input jack on the guitar . Don’t know if this helps but I cleaned mine with a burst of compressed air and it helped but ultimately I changed the jack out for a new one and I now have crisp and clear sound .
