[. . . ] MG15FX ENGLISH MG30FX 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 1 From Jim Marshall 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 16 15 17 I would personally like to congratulate you on your purchase of this next-generation Marshall MG amplifier. As a musician myself, I fully understand what it takes to perform live in a band situation. In addition to talent, dedication and a lot of hard work, you also need equipment that does exactly what you ask of it. Over the years I have witnessed many advances in amplifier technology and I wanted this MG series to take full advantage of such innovations. These solid-state amplifiers had to meet the tonal expectations of the modern guitarist whilst also incorporating new and exciting digital technology. [. . . ] Bass Control Adds warmth and low-end depth to your sound. 13. Tap Switch Matches the delay FX time to the time between two pushes. The LED flashes at selected delay time. 5. OD Switch Selects between OD1 (green) and OD2 (red) channels. Middle Control Varies the amount of body in your sound. 14. Delay Control Controls the amount of signal sent to the delay effect. Volume Control Controls the volume of the selected channel. 21. Mains Input Connector Your amp is provided with a detachable mains (power) lead, which is connected here. The specific mains input voltage rating that your amplifier has been built for is indicated on the back panel. Before connecting for the first time, please ensure that your amplifier is compatible with your electricity supply. If you have any doubt, please get advice from a qualified technician. Your Marshall dealer will help you in this respect. The correct value of mains fuse located in the small drawer at the bottom of the mains socket is specified on the rear panel of the amplifier. The drawer contains a space for a spare fuse. NEVER attempt to bypass the fuse or fit one of the incorrect value! 26. Send Socket Connect to the input of an external effects processor or pedal here. 4 5 MG50FX & MG100FX / MG100HFX Overview Channel Selection The amplifier has 4 channels - Clean, Crunch, OD1 & OD2. Pressing the Clean/Crunch switch (3) selects between the Clean (Green Light) and Crunch (Red Light) channels. Pressing the OD switch (5) selects between the OD1 (Green Light) and OD2 (Red Light) channels. When channel settings have been stored the current channel light (3 or 5) will stop flashing indicating the preset has been saved. Reverb & FX The amplifier provides three simultaneous effects, Reverb, Delay and one of three Modulation effects (Chorus, Phaser, or Flanger). Headphones & Line Out The 3. 5mm Headphones socket (18) allows the connection of a pair of headphones. When a jack is inserted into the headphones socket the unit's speaker is muted. Loudspeaker ALWAYS USE A NON-SCREENED MARSHALL APPROVED SPEAKER LEAD WHEN CONNECTING AN EXTENSION CABINET TO THESE AMPLIFIERS. When moving from an OD channel to a Clean/Crunch channel, the unit remembers the last channel you were in before leaving. If you have moved from the Crunch Channel to an OD channel and you press the Clean/Crunch switch (3), the amplifier will revert back to the Crunch channel - rather than starting again in the Clean channel. Modes The amplifier operates in two modes - Preset and Manual. Reverb The Reverb control sets the amount of signal sent to the reverb section - allowing the reverb to spill between channels as different presets are recalled. The Rev switch (8) switches the reverb effect on and off, the status of the reverb is also indicated on the footcontroller. [. . . ] Digital Display When recalling a footswitch preset, the Digital Display (3) will indicate which footswitch number has been pressed. If a Channel preset has been recalled the Digital Display (3) will remain blank. The LED Status Panel (2) is used to show how far away from the closest note the current note being played is. When the central FX Status LED lights, it indicates the correct tuning, with the others progressively indicating the tuning is up to 50 cents up or down. To exit the Tuner push any footswitch, the amplifier will then exit returning to the settings before entering. When either a Channel preset or Footswitch preset has been altered the Digital Display (3) will begin to flash. [. . . ]
