INPUT jack ENGLISH Use a good quality (screened) guitar cable to plug your guitar in here. 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'. tone can range from traditional and woody sounding (setting at 10), to balls-to-the-wall (setting at midway), to aggressive, `scooped' and modern (setting at 0). . . and all points inbetween. 8. EQ TREBLE control This control affects the treble or top end of your sound. Increasing the amount of treble will give a glassy edge to your clean sounds and increase the definition on low gain overdrive or the amount of aggressive `fizz' and `cut' on high gain tones. 3. OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will engage the Overdrive Channel. 9. Reverb LEVEL control Increasing the Reverb Level control will mix more of the naturally voiced spring reverb signal into your sound ­ as you'll find, you can go from subtle to surf at the mere twist of this control! 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. 10. FDD (Frequency Dependant Damping) Switch Marshall's proprietary FDD circuit accurately mimics the way an all-valve amplifier interacts with the loudspeaker and adds a width and depth to your sound which has been unachievable in an affordable solid-state amplifier. . . until now! 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. CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT jack The MG15MSII cleverly combine the Line Out and CD Input functions. If you want to jam to your favourite CD or tape, merely connect the headphone output of your CD or tape player here, adjust the CD / TAPE player's volume to match that of your guitar and `hey-presto' ­ you've got the perfect `play-along' practice system. Alternatively, you can use this socket to connect the MG15MSII to your multi-track recording machine and you'll get a great speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or tape. 6. EQ BASS control This control affects the bass or bottom end of your sound. [. . . ] REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. Marshall Amplification plc, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, England.
