Marshall Amplification MG15 Series Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting
one of our new 15 Watt, MG combos – the
MG15CD, the MG15CDR or the MG15DFX.
As a musician myself I fully understand the
necessity of achieving the right tone and feel to help
inspire musicians to reach their full creative potential
– be they aspiring beginners or more skilled players.
With this in mind I set my experienced R&D team
the task of designing a new range of affordable MG
amplifiers that truly captured 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 power amp section of your MG15
combo boasts FDD (Frequency Dependant 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 MG15 will give you a sound never before thought possible
in such an affordable, non-valve amp.
Two of these three units also feature built-in effects – the MG15CDR boasts a natural sounding
spring reverb, while the MG15DFX houses specially designed Digital Effects (DFX).
The DFX featured in the MG15DFX are custom voiced by our own in-house design team. Each one
of the four effects on offer (Reverb, Delay, Chorus and Flange) have been designed to give you the
true warmth and feel of analogue effects, but in a highly flexible digital format. Furthermore, a wide
range of variations for each effect are literally at your fingertips – merely tweaking the two digital
effects controls 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 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!
I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family…
Yours Sincerely,
