From Jim Marshall

ENGLISH

I would like to thank you personally for selecting our new MG10CD Combo.

As a musician myself, I fully understand the necessity of achieving the right tone and feel to help you realise your potential – whether an aspiring beginner or more experienced 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 captured the essence of the Marshall sound.

Utilising new technologies, some of which were developed for the 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 MG10CD boasts FDD (Frequency Dependant Damping) – a radical new feature, exclusive to Marshall Amplification, that accurately mimics the way an all-valve amp interacts with a loudspeaker. As a result of FDD, your new MG10CD will give you a width of sound never before thought possible in such an affordable, non-valve amp.

Whether the MG10CD is your first ever Marshall or is the latest addition to your arsenal of amps, the tone and feel of this compact, rugged combo will deliver the goods – from bedroom to backstage!

Like all the amplifiers in my new MG range, the MG10CD was completely designed and engineered in the UK. The most rigorous quality control procedures ensure that it meets the standard of build you have come to expect from all Marshall products.

I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family.

Yours Sincerely,

MG10CD specifications

Marshall Amplification has long been synonymous with high-quality guitar amplifiers, and the MG10CD is no exception. Designed with beginners and practicing musicians in mind, this compact practice amp delivers the signature Marshall sound in a portable form factor. The MG10CD is ideal for those who want a taste of pro-level tone without breaking the bank.

One of the standout features of the MG10CD is its versatile tone control. The amp provides a standard 3-band EQ comprising treble, middle, and bass controls. This feature allows users to sculpt their sound to fit various playing styles, from bright and cutting to warm and mellow. Additionally, the amp is equipped with two channel options: Clean and Overdrive. The Clean channel delivers a classic, pristine sound perfect for chord strumming, while the Overdrive channel adds grit and punch for rock and blues solos. Switching between these channels is simple and can be done with the press of a button, providing seamless transitions during practice or performance.

The MG10CD’s built-in digital reverb adds depth to your sound, allowing for room-filling resonance, which enhances the overall listening experience. This effect is particularly useful for those who enjoy atmospheric playing, giving notes a dreamy quality without overwhelming the natural tone of the guitar.

Marshall has also integrated a headphone output into the design, making it easier than ever to practice silently. This feature is invaluable for musicians who need to keep noise to a minimum—allowing them to practice their riffs and licks late into the night without disturbing others.

In terms of build quality, the MG10CD is sturdy and well-constructed. Its compact size makes it easy to transport, and it fits well into any small space, whether in your room, studio, or during travel. Weighing in at just over 8 pounds, it is lightweight yet solid enough to withstand the rigors of regular use.

In summary, the Marshall MG10CD is a remarkable blend of quality, versatility, and portability. With features such as a 3-band EQ, dual channels, digital reverb, and a headphone output, it caters to the needs of beginner guitarists and seasoned pros alike. Whether you're honing your skills at home or jamming with friends, the MG10CD offers the unmistakable Marshall sound in an accessible and user-friendly package.
