User manual MARSHALL HAZE MHZ40C

[. . . ] Overview Presenting the Haze series ­ 40 Watt combo and 15 Watt head. Developed and engineered in the UK, these two channel valve amplifiers, inspired by the British tones of the 60s and 70s, provides that classic Marshall roar with a modern edge. The vintage voiced effects section stores its settings per channel for instant recall and provides a choice of classic echo, vibe or chorus alongside a reverb providing the warmth and transparency of a spring tank. The MHZ40C 40Watt combo offers a dedicated overdrive boost and series effects loop in a classic top loading 1x12" combo loaded with a Celestion Marquee (G12-66) speaker ­ custom designed in partnership with Marshall. From Jim Marshall I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate you on choosing this Haze amplifier from Marshall. As a musician myself I fully understand the thrill and enjoyment of playing live music - whether that be on a stage to thousands, or in the bedroom to yourself - there's nothing quite like it. I also appreciate the need for high quality equipment that not only delivers the sound you're looking for, but that also has the dynamic play-ability and feature set that separates a good amp from a truly fantastic one. The MHZ15 15 Watt head can be paired with the optional cabinets MHZ412A and MHZ412B to form a valve powered mini stack The reverb and effects are routed in parallel to the direct signal so that no degradation of the direct signal occurs. [. . . ] By increasing the amount of treble you will make your tone brighter, ideal for more percussive playing styles. Turn both the Reverb and Effect Depth to minimum and the entire effects section will be globally disabled. If the effects loop is also turned off via the rear panel switch a further click will be heard from within the amplifier as the effect section is true bypassed mechanically removing the circuit from the amplifier ­ leaving an all-valve amplifier signal path. Reverb Level This control sets the amount of signal sent to the reverb. 17. Standby The Standby switch is used in conjunction with the Power Switch (18) to `warm up' the amplifier before use and to mute the amplifier when required, such as when you are changing guitars. When powering up the amplifier we suggest engaging the Power Switch (18) first, leaving the Standby switch in the `OFF' position for two minutes to allow the valves to heat up. When switching the amplifier off, always disengage the Standby Switch a couple of seconds prior to the main Power Switch. Power Switch This is the On/Off switch for the mains electric power to the amplifier. The LED will light up when your amplifier is turned on and will not be lit when the amplifier is switched off. The FX loop is series and set at instrument level so both guitar FX or professional units can be connected. The FX Send socket (7) on the rear panel is used to connect to the INPUT of the unit you are using in the effects loop. Footswitch Connect the supplied 2-way footswitch here. The footswitch enables you to change the channels, Normal or Overdrive, and globally turn the effects on and off. switching jacks. This link is disconnected when something is plugged into the return socket. The send socket has no effect on the status of the internal link and could therefore be used as a line out to a tuner for example if no external FX are connected. MHZ40C Combo Technical Specification Power (RMS) Speaker Output Pre-Amp Valves Power Amp Valves Channels Boost Switch Bright Switch Reverb Effects Footswitch Main Guitar - Input Impedance Dimensions (mm) W, H, D Weight (kg) There are 2 speaker outputs available on the rear panel. They are labelled according to the intended impedances: 16 Ohm: connect any 16 Ohms guitar cabinet to this jack. 8 Ohm: connect any 8 Ohms guitar cabinet to this jack. Note: When the 2-way footswitch is connected the front panel channel switch will not function. The optional extra 4-way footcontroller (not supplied) PEDL-10049 expands the functionality of the Haze amplifier. 40W 1x 16 Ohm / 1x 8 Ohm 3x ECC83 2x EL34 2 2 way supplied 1M 590 x 486 x 254 20. 3 WARNING: Although there are 2 speaker outputs, never attempt to connect speakers to more than one socket at any time. The safe combinations are 1x16 Ohm or 1x8 Ohm only. Any other speaker configuration may stress the power amplifier section and in extreme cases may lead to valve and/or output transformer failure. ALWAYS ensure you use good quality speaker (unshielded) cables. ALWAYS use a non-screened Marshall approved speaker lead when connecting an extension cabinet to these units. Four footswitches enables you to select between normal and overdrive channels, switch between overdrive and overdrive boost, enable / mute the internal reverb and enable / mute the internal effects. Four status LEDs reflect the current status of the amplifier ­ channel, boost, reverb and effect.
