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.

Before connecting for the first time, please ensure that your amplifier is compatible with your electricity supply. 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.

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. The FX section can be globally turned on and off via the FX switch (11). Additionally the Headphones socket (18) can also be used as a Line Out to send the signal to an external equipment e. g. When a jack is inserted into the socket the unit's speaker is muted providing `silent recording'. The unit's output can then be monitored directly from the external equipment used. MG50FX The single Loudspeaker socket (22) is used to connect either the internal speaker or an external speaker cabinet to the unit's power amp. When using external cabinets ensure the total load impedance is equal to, or exceeds, 8 ohms. MG100FX 1x12" & 2x12" Combos The single Loudspeaker socket (22) is used to connect either the internal speaker or an external speaker cabinet to the unit's power amp. When using external cabinets ensure the total load impedance is equal to, or exceeds, 4 ohms. ENGLISH To change between these two modes, you must hold the Damping switch (17) down for at least two seconds. When in manual mode the Store switch (19) lights red and the selected channel light (3 or 5) will start to flash. Delay The Delay control (14) sets the amount of signal sent to the delay section.
