I'm looking to get a new amp, I just went to the music store and a friend suggested the Behringer GX212 or the Marshall MG30DFX, both for $250 plus tax. Which is the better buy?
Neither one. get the Behringer GMX212, which is a newer model. The GX212 has some sloppy distortion, but the GMX212 simply wipes the floor with the MG30DFX (which is a very mediocre amp to start with). Louder, better speakers, much better distortion, more tone variaty, better connection options etc. If volume is no issue, check out the Vox AD30VT as well. Both amps are around the $250 mark.
