The Marshall micro stack was a smaller sized release of a Marshall amp. The original Marshall micro stack was produced from 1985-1991 and featured 12 watts of power.
A Marshall micro stack looks like an 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 a 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.
