1. INPUT jack

Use a good quality (screened) guitar cable to plug your guitar in here.

2. Clean VOLUME control

When the OD Select switch is ‘out’, this control adjusts the volume of the Clean Channel. At low settings the sound will be very clean with a bell-like ring. Turning this control above half way will introduce a desirable, bluesy distortion as the power amplifier is driven into ‘crunch mode’.

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 in- between.

8. EQ TREBLE control

This control affects the treble or top end of your sound. Increasing the amount of treble will give a glassy edge to your clean sounds and increase the definition on low gain overdrive or the amount of aggressive ‘fizz’ and ‘cut’ on high gain tones.

3. OD (Overdrive) SELECT switch

Depressing the Overdrive Select Switch will engage the Overdrive Channel.

4. Overdrive GAIN control

Turning up the Overdrive Gain Control will increase the amount of distortion generated in the Overdrive channel. Low gain settings will produce classic rock and blues tones. Crank the Gain for fat and aggressive sounds that are perfect for soloing or hard rock and nu-metal riffing.

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.

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.

7. EQ CONTOUR control

This highly effective tone control works by radically modifying the mid-range (body). The

9. Reverb LEVEL control

Increasing the Reverb Level control will mix more of the naturally voiced spring reverb signal into your sound – as you’ll find, you can go from subtle to surf at the mere twist of this control!

10.FDD (Frequency Dependant Damping) Switch

Marshall’s proprietary FDD circuit accurately mimics the way an all-valve amplifier interacts with the loudspeaker and adds a width and depth to your sound which has been unachievable in an affordable solid-state amplifier…until now!

11.CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT jack

The MG15MSII cleverly combine the Line Out and CD Input functions. If you want to jam to your favourite CD or tape, merely connect the headphone output of your CD or tape player here, adjust the CD / TAPE player’s volume to match that of your guitar and ‘hey-presto’ – you’ve got the perfect ‘play-along’ practice system. Alternatively, you can use this socket to connect the MG15MSII to your multi-track recording machine and you’ll get a great speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or tape.
