Comments: One of the most common second purchases an electric guitarist makes is for guitar effects. These are big products for us, and Line 6 is one of the biggest names in this category.

This season, the Floor POD will be a big hit with guitarists.

Marshall MG Guitar Amplifier Half Stack with MG100HDFX Head and MG412A Cabinet

Boasting the same impressive features and staggering versatility of the MG100DFX combo, this awesome, 100 Watt head will drive any cabinet in the Marshall range, but is best suited to the MG412A (angled) 120 Watt 4x12" cabinet. Unbelievable tone, feel, and projection come as a standard.
