Necrobumping to mention i tried this as well, and those little Actons sound surprisingly good when paired with modelers: https://thegearforum.com/threads/marshall-bluetooth-speaker-frfr-guitar-mod.9970/
I'd much rather have one of these than, say, a Headrush FRFR-GO.

I want his chiropractor. But I don't want to be his chiropractor.

So I was bored at home and had a bright idea.
What if I connect this BluGuitar Amp 1 Mercury Edition:
To this Marshall Acton 1 Bluetooth speaker:
So I plugged the Amp 1 recording out (with analog cab sim) to the aux input on the Marshall.
To my surprise, it actually sounded really good! I have never quite liked the Amp 1 recording out into headphones, but plugging it into something else like an audio interface or in this case, a freakin' Bluetooth speakers, it can actually sound good!
It was actually a really good home rig where it doesn't get very loud, but loud enough to be fun. I did pretty much crank both devices to do this tho. I spent probably 20 minutes messing around with it because it was fun.
Aside from the Marshall MS-4, this is probably the smallest "Marshall stack" you can have - and an actually good sounding one!
So you heard it here first, the ultimate "FRFR speaker"is a Marshall Acton. Step aside Atomic CLR and EV PXM, there's a new sheriff in town!
Haha, great minds think alike. I had a Tech 21 Plexi Flyrig and did the same thing with my Marshall Kilburn. It sounded pretty good, but I ultimately decided I didn't really like the Plexi Flyrig all that much.

My first awesomely loud guitar rig was a Dean Markley practice amp, that I ran the headphone out into a Hohner solid state combo (with 2 15" speakers). In order to get the shreddiest distortion, I would pull the cable from the headphone out so the tip of the cable was touching the sleeve connection in the headphone out, and I plugged it into the harmonica input on the amp. You read that right.
