Marshall Capri / Mercury

Post by Gemma Thrush »

Brothers and Sisters - does anyone here have any experience with either of these amps?

Are they good?

Or are they, in fact, turd?

Surely they must be amazing - just because of that red tolex?

I had a Little red Mercury 1 x 10 combo
it was alright. but did not rock my world
you would be better of with a Class 5

i put the mercury in for this 18 watt 2 x10 combo and little bit of cash

Thanks Baz - you rock. For me it's all about the red tolex - would go well with the elusive Guyatone Bazz Box, right?

Also want something small - maybe this would work.

I had a Mercury - funnily enough with red tolex as well. It was pretty cool but it rattled like crazy so I sold it on. They're cool little amps though.
