No, it's generally not recommended. Guitar amps have limited bass and have lots of different chracteristics that make them poor for transient sounds (like hitting a drum). You'd be much better off with a keyboard amp or a drum audio monitor. Ideally, you can look at a small PA system or studio (audio) monitors. Look for something called "FRFR" (full range, flat response). headphones are also an option.

All of those are best for a wide variety of applications (including digital guitar modeling). In general, (analog/tube) guitar amps are mainly for guitarists who prefer its limitations (distortion and clipping). An AI search can help in understanding the many confusing terms. I hope this helps!

I've also had one of these for years. Super solid for 80 bucks. It doesn't sound premium, but it is awesome for the size/price.

Would this be good for an electronic drum set used for practice?

Looks like the MG15GR has a built-in reverb, while this one doesn't.

Typically Fender will be nicer for clean tones, Marshall will be better for heavier tones. Feature and Quality wise they're both fine. You'll just need to listen to both. Though at this low cost beginner / practice level there won't be a huge difference, and if you're a beginner you may not even be able to hear much difference.

This is like your grandma would buy a kid; that comes with a starter pack, guitar with this amp for $100, plus tax and shipping. Marshall (great history) should do better. You can't get around that thin 8" speaker for live sound. You can hobble together a practice amp for free, from your old stuff, if that's all you want. Save and Instead of several amps (without your homework), consider one [1 gear set], and slick deal (remember where we are); that can turn down to bedroom volume level and up to play against a loud drummer also. Add up total gear cost and there's numerous possible combinations. And don't think tube vs. non-tube. Both of them in your gear set is probably better. With some backup redundancy. Like a inexpensive (Bluetooth, USB DAW input) multi amp/effect/IR pedal WITH a classic value 1x12 tube amp clone. Decide cab + head or a combo is usually cheaper. Or basically a Katana instead, with no tubes at all. That's if you want total costs down and tone and song flexibility options up. Or not, for your needs. And weights around 25lbs, not extremely heavy; because smaller tends to have more sound compromises, or only for home practice. A big ceramic mag 12" Celestion type speaker for your classic, do all, mid-range response, final live 'filter'. I usually like compact tech. But if you practice on the same gear set you jam with in a band, with friends (way different in a mix) in a garage or bigger then that will be familiar gear to you and less dependent on borrowing gear you have not tweaked. And every room is different, requiring adjustment. Anything larger and your be hooking into the venues PA anyway; but you will still need your gear to be your monitor, probably next to very loud drums. That's a 12 to 20 watts tube amp, still almost to loud. Equal is about 50W to 100W non-tube; so it can sound like tubes well, if it does. Feel free to differ, buy gadgets or whatever; but the cash for them could buy a better gear set. I did one set for $235 (Multi plus a combo 1x12 sale) and another gear set I put together with a used head (Gen 3 Katana) and new 1x12 V30 speaker cab (deep deals) for $325 total. So, some of the software combined practice(only) gear costs more than that, with add on costs. $80 would sound much better in a $235 (-$80 = +$155 diff) or so gear set; would it not? They used to say mow another yard first. Not the buy many, step up theory, as that would be $80 + $235 or more = $315, minus deep depreciation and reselling pains. Or feel free to waste your money. Just practice, don't brag. The gear is fun; but not the point.
