The '''Marshall micro stack''' was a smaller sized release of a [[Marshall Amplification|Marshall amp]]. The original 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.
Revisiting the idea,A Marshall tookmicro thestack looklooks oflike thean original micro stack (a small head that sits on two 8 inch speaker cabs, one slanted the other straight), and also has the added the sound and features of theira MG15CDR practice amp. This amp features spring reverb and Marshall's exclusive Frequency Dependent Damping (which is intended to mimic the way a valve amp interacts with a speaker). The clean channel also features a distortion to volume ratio which lightly increases a softer, slightly more tube like distortion as the clean volume is raised (to more closely mimic a valve amp). The amps are usually considered to be novelty items and provide no real sonic benefits over the equivalent combo version.
