Marshall Amp MS2 Mini Amp: Red

Q: Can this be used with acoustic guitars?

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.

Q: any chance this is powerful enough to play in the street?

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.

Q: 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?

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.

Q: can this be used for a microphone??

If the microphone has a quarter inch jack it will work. There is only one input jack.
