INPUT jack Use a good quality (screened) guitar cable to plug your guitar in here. 3. OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will engage the Overdrive Channel. 2. Clean VOLUME control When the OD Select switch is `out', this control adjusts the volume of the Clean Channel. At low settings the sound will be very clean with a bell-like ring. Turning this control above half way will introduce a desirable, bluesy distortion as the power amplifier is driven into `crunch mode'. 4. Overdrive GAIN control Turning up the Overdrive Gain Control will increase the amount of distortion generated in the Overdrive channel. Low gain settings will produce classic rock and blues tones. Crank the Gain for fat and aggressive sounds that are perfect for soloing or hard rock and nu-metal riffing. 3 5. Overdrive VOLUME control Amazingly enough, this control adjusts the volume of the Overdrive channel!The louder this channel is set, the `looser' the amplifier will sound and feel. This behaviour is exactly what a good all-valve amplifier does and is a result of our proprietary FDD circuitry. 11. EMULATED HEADPHONES jack Plug your headphones here for a killer speaker emulated sound!Doing this mutes your MG15's internal speaker for `silent' practice. 12. POWER Switch & LED The power switch turns your amplifier on and off. The LED will be lit when your amplifier is on and will not be lit when the amplifier is switched off. Note: Before connecting to the mains electricity supply, always ensure that your electricity supply is compatible with your amplifier, as detailed on the rear panel. Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged from the mains electricity supply before being moved. 6. EQ BASS control This control affects the bass or bottom end of your sound. Increasing the bass control will add warmth to your clean and balls to your overdrive tones. ENGLISH 7. [. . . ] At slow Speeds a mellow phase-like sweep occurs. As the Speed is increased a more traditional chorus effect is heard. At maximum Speed, a psychedelic vibrato results. At slow Speed settings the amount of regeneration is automatically increased for huge `jet engine-like' sweeps. [. . . ]
