User manual MARSHALL MG15DFX

[. . . ] Like all the amplifiers in my new MG range, the MG15 was completely designed and engineered in the UK and the most rigorous quality control procedures ensure that it meets the standard of build you have come to expect from all Marshall products. Whether the MG15 is your first ever Marshall or is the latest addition to your arsenal of amps, the tone, flexibility and feel of this compact, rugged combo will deliver the goods ­ from bedroom to backstage!- Important safety instructions WARNING: This apparatus must be earthed! A. ALWAYS use the supplied mains lead, if a replacement is required please contact your authorised Marshall Dealer. [. . . ] 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. 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. 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. EQ CONTOUR control This highly effective tone control works by radically modifying the mid-range (body). The 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. 13. [. . . ] The parameter you can adjust for each of the four effects is shown below: Effect Reverb (RVB) Parameter (adjustment*) Reverb Decay Time (from short to long) Description A natural sounding Reverb that never sounds harsh or grainy. Short Reverb times produce a plate type effect while longer Reverb times produce much larger sounding hall-type effects. Short Delay Times will automatically have less repeats for groovy surf tones. Increasing the Delay Time automatically increases the number of repeats for a much more atmospheric effect. [. . . ]
