From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting
our new MG30DFX combo.
As a musician myself I fully understand the
necessity of achieving the right tone and feel to help
inspire you to reach your full creative potential as a
guitarist – whether you are an aspiring beginner or a
more advanced player. With this in mind I set my
experienced R&D team the task of designing a new
range of affordable MG amplifiers, that truly capture
the essence of the Marshall sound.
Utilising new technologies, some of which were
developed for our critically acclaimed AVT range, the new MG Series raises the standard for what can
be expected from a value-for-money range of guitar amplifiers and defines a new benchmark. For
example, the amp section of your MG30DFX combo boasts FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) –
a radical new feature that is exclusive to Marshall Amplification and accurately mimics the way an all-
valve amplifier interacts with a loudspeaker. As a result of FDD, your new MG30DFX will give you a
sound and feel never before thought possible in such an affordable, non-valve amp.
The DFX (Digital Effects) featured in the MG30DFX are custom-voiced by our in-house digital
effects experts. Each one of the four effects on offer (Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flange) has been
designed to emulate the much sought after warmth and feel of analogue effects, but in a highly
flexible digital format. Furthermore, a wide range of variations for each effect are quite literally at your
fingertips – merely tweaking the two Digital FX controls (Preset/Adjust & FX Level) on the front panel,
will give rise to sounds that range from subtle to radical, while always remaining both natural and
musical.
Like all the amplifiers in the new MG range, state-of-the-art manufacturing and stringent quality
control procedures ensure that this combo meets the high standard of build you have come to expect
from all Marshall products. The MG30DFX was completely designed and engineered at my
Headquarters in Milton Keynes, England.
Whether the MG30DFX 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!
I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family...
Yours Sincerely,
1
