From Jim Marshall
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 successfully
achieve your goals and dreams. 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. To this end, these state-of-the-art
solid-state amplifiers had to meet the tonal expectations of the
modern guitarist whilst also incorporating new and exciting digital
technology in terms of both effects and memory. With this goal firmly
in mind, I set my experienced R&D team the task of designing a new
range of affordable MG amplifiers that would not only produce the
tone you're looking for, but also offer an intuitive and totally
programmable way of customising, storing and accessing your
favourite Marshall tones and features.
Like all the amplifiers in the new MG range, state-of-the-art
manufacturing and stringent quality control procedures ensure that
these amplifiers meet the high standard of build you have come to
expect from all Marshall products.
Whether this is your first ever Marshall, or is the latest addition to your
arsenal of amps, the tone, flexibility and feel of these compact,
rugged units is guaranteed to deliver the goods – from bedroom to
backstage, from song writing to recording studio and from rehearsal
to on stage!
I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the
family...
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE

1. Input Jack Socket
Jack input for your guitar. Use a good quality guitar cable
(i.e. one that's screened/shielded) to help prevent noise,
interference and unwanted feedback.
2. Gain Control
Controls the amount of signal entering the pre-amp and
the amount of distortion created in the selected channel.
3. Clean/Crunch Switch
Selects between Clean (green) and Crunch (red)
channels.
4. Bass Control
Turning up the Bass control will add warmth and low-end
depth to your sound.
5. OD-1/OD-2 Switch
Selects between OD-1 (green) and OD-2 (red) channels.
6. Middle Control
Adjusting the middle frequencies will vary the amount of
body in your sound.
7. Treble Control
Increasing the Treble will make your sounds brighter and
more cutting, turning it down will decrease your tone's
edge and make it sound softer as a result.
8. Reverb Control
This control lets you add a lush digital reverb to the
selected channel, from a subtle hint to cavernous and all
points in-between. Furthermore, there are two distinctly
different sounding reverb types for you to choose from –
Studio or Spring. Studio emulates the sound of a studio
plate reverb while, as expected, Spring emulates the
sound of a classic spring reverb unit.
9. Volume Control
Controls the volume of the selected channel.
10. Tap (Manual) Switch
Matches the delay FX time to the time between two
pushes. The LED flashes at the selected delay time. Holding
down the Tap switch for longer than 2 seconds switches
the amp between manual and preset mode (pg 2).

Note: The specific mains input voltage rating that your
amplifier has been built for is shown on the back panel.
Before connecting to the mains electricity supply, always
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.
Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged
from the mains electricity supply before being moved.
