Tone, on stage and in the studio.
The amplifiers, pedals and modelling tools shaping how guitarists across the region sound — live, recorded and direct.
Guitar tone has never been more diverse — or more accessible. The choice between a real valve amplifier and a world-class digital modeller is no longer a compromise but a genuine creative decision. MediaCast carries both sides of that decision: Marshall's legendary valve amp range for players who want real tubes and real speakers, and a complete ecosystem of digital tools for those who need flexibility, portability and studio-quality results direct.
THE BRIEF
Who this solution is designed for.
For every guitarist in the region — from their first serious amp to a touring professional's backline.
Guitar tone is one of the most personal choices in music. The player who has spent years chasing a specific sound — whether it’s the vintage warmth of a Marshall Origin, the modern versatility of a DSL, or the surgical precision of a UAD UAFX pedal — deserves both the right guidance and access to the right gear.
MediaCast’s guitar portfolio covers the full spectrum. Marshall’s exclusive regional distribution means every amp in the range — from the compact Origin 5H to the four-channel JVM410H — is available through our channel partners and at mcx.store with full regional warranty. The digital side is equally comprehensive: Universal Audio’s UAFX pedals bring authentic Plexi, high-gain and vintage fuzz emulations to the pedalboard; HeadRush handles the multi-FX workflow; IK Multimedia’s TONEX AI-powered amp capture means you can carry the exact sound of any real amp in your pocket; and Eventide’s harmoniser and modulation effects add depth and character that no other brand can match.
For producers and recording engineers, the studio angle is equally important: capturing great guitar tone on record requires a great microphone, a great preamp and a great recording chain. The same portfolio that serves the live guitarist also serves the studio — and the ability to try it all at MCX before committing is something no other distributor in the region can offer.
Equipment Breakdown
Amps, pedals, modelling and recording — the complete guitar toolkit.
The guitar solution spans five contexts: live performance, studio recording, direct/headphone practice, creative production and beat-making. Here’s what we carry for each.
VALVE AMPLIFIERS — MARSHALL
Real Tubes. Real Sound.
Marshall Origin Series
Vintage-inspired all-valve amps based on the original JTM45 circuit. Available in 5W, 20W and 50W head and combo configurations. The cleanest, most articulate Marshall tones for blues, classic rock and country.
Marshall DSL Series
Dual Super Lead — Marshall’s most versatile valve range. Two channels, multiple modes, built-in reverb. From pristine clean through classic crunch to modern high-gain. Available 1W to 100W.
Marshall JVM Series
The pinnacle of Marshall valve amplification. Four independent channels, each with three modes. The touring professional’s choice for maximum tonal range in a single head.
Marshall Studio Series
Iconic Marshall head circuits (SC20, SV20, STJ) in reduced-power form for studio and home use. All the character of the high-wattage originals at practical recording and rehearsal levels.
Marshall CODE Series
Digital modelling in a Marshall body — a library of Marshall amp models, cabinets and effects in a lightweight, app-connected format. For the player who needs Marshall heritage with modern flexibility.
Marshall Cabinets
The 1960A and 1960B 4×12 cabinets — the iconic wall of Marshall. Also 2×12 and 1×12 configurations for smaller venues and studio use.
GUITAR PEDALS & EFFECTS
Shaping the Tone
Universal Audio UAFX Lion '68 Super Lead
Authentic Plexi amp emulation in a pedal — the sound of a cranked Marshall Super Lead. The UA algorithm captures the exact non-linear behaviour of the real circuit.
Universal Audio UAFX ANTI 1992 High Gain
High-gain amp emulation for modern metal and hard rock tones. Captures the complexity of a saturated power-amp response that most digital amps miss.
Universal Audio UAFX Golden Reverberator
The definitive pitch/modulation pedal. Harmonising, pitch-shifting, modulation and reverb from the manufacturer that invented the Harmonizer in 1975. The pedal of choice for players who need more than standard effects.
Eventide H9 Max Pedal
The full Eventide algorithm library in a single pedal. Every effect Eventide makes — delay, reverb, modulation, pitch, distortion — in one compact unit.
DIGITAL MODELING & MULTI-FX
Flexible Tone
HeadRush Flex Prime
Touchscreen multi-effects processor with world-class amp modelling, speaker simulation and effects. For the player who needs a complete rig in one unit — for touring, recording or rehearsal.
HeadRush FRFR Go
Powered full-range flat-response cabinet for use with HeadRush Flex, modellers and direct monitoring. The speaker system designed to work with digital modelling rigs.
IK Multimedia TONEX Pedal
AI-powered amp capturing and playback in a compact pedal. Capture the exact behaviour of any real amp — including your Marshall — and play it back anywhere with remarkable accuracy.
IK Multimedia TONEX One
The most compact tone capture device. Single-amp tones from the TONEX AI capture system in the most minimal form factor. For players who want their captured amp in a pedalboard slot.
IK Multimedia AmpliTube 5
Full-featured guitar software studio — amp models, cabinet IR, microphone placement, effects and recording. For home studios and producers recording guitar without a physical amp.
STUDIO RECORDING GUITAR
Capturing the Amp
sE Electronics V7 Dynamic Mic
The broadcast-grade dynamic microphone that also excels on guitar cabinets. Cardioid pattern, high SPL handling, natural midrange — ideal for close-miking a Marshall cabinet.
Warm Audio WA-84 Small-diaphragm Condenser
Room mic for guitar cab — placed further back to capture the natural reverb of the room mixed with the close mic. The technique used on virtually every great guitar recording.
Universal Audio Apollo Twin X
Record direct through UAD amp simulations with the tone you want, on the way in. The Apollo UAFX guitar amp simulations capture the behaviour of the real amplifiers they model.
PRODUCTION & CREATIVE
Guitar in the Mix
AKAI MPC X SE
For the guitarist-producer: create backing tracks, programme drums and bass, then play guitar over your own production. The MPC and guitar are a natural creative combination.
IK Multimedia AmpliTube Custom Shop
Individual Marshall, Fender, Mesa and other amp/cabinet purchases for use in AmpliTube for direct recording or software production.
UAD Plug-ins — Marshall Amp Collection
UAD emulations of classic Marshall circuits — available as plug-ins within DaVinci Resolve Fairlight, LUNA and any UAD-compatible DAW. For guitar tracks recorded direct or via re-amping.
MONITORING & PLAYBACK
Hearing Your Tone

Full-range monitoring for modellers and direct rigs in live performance. Accurate, flat-response playback of digital tones without the colouration of a traditional guitar cabinet.
