Zakk Wylde

(BLS, Ozzy Osbourne)

“The MG15MSZW sounds totally slamming – the overdrive is crushing ...”

Kerry King

(Slayer)

“The MG10KK – heavier than a pair of concrete boots!”

Even the biggest of artists have uses for the smallest of amps and Kerry King and Zakk Wylde are no exception. Warming-up backstage, where space is precious and volume must be sacrificed, is essential for any professional guitarist wanting to nail those killer licks and destructive riffs. All that’s required is a lightweight amp with tonnes of tone and impressive looks, thats why the MG15MSZW and the brand new MG10KK fit the bill perfectly.

Don’t be fooled by their diminutive size however, as these miniature Marshalls pack quite a punch. Whether you’re about to rock to a sell-out crowd of thousands or simply jamming along with your favourite tunes in your bedroom, these MG specials deliver the ideal solution!

Zakk Wylde MG15MSZW Microstack

If you’ve been longing after a full Marshall stack but space is at a premium, it maybe that your prayers have just been answered. Based on the MG15MSII Microstack, Zakk's longtime practice amplifier of choice, the Zakk Wylde Microstack offers Marshall-size tone in a compact form sharing the unmistakable look of Zakk's trademark Marshall ‘Wall of Doom’ he uses whenever he plays live.

Crammed in this incredible little amp are 2-channels (Clean and Overdrive) delivering 15 Watts of power through two 1x10" speaker cabinets, one angled and one base, creating that unmistakable Marshall stack look. This mini Marshall also features three stage equalisation, allowing complete control over your tone while the Spring Reverb creates added depth to your sound. A Speaker Emulated Headphone output means that the tone you would hear

from the speakers is exactly mimicked when practicing quietly to yourself. Add into the mix a CD input and Marshall Amplification’s own FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) technology and you’ve got one hell of a comprehensive practice amp.

The MG15MSZW features Zakk's trademark bullseye motifs on the front panel along with authentic 1960TV grill cloth, gold piping and gold-brushed Marshall logos on both the head and speaker cabinets. Each amp is supplied with five Zakk Wylde plectrums, an exclusive A3 poster and a handbook with a personal introduction and suggested settings from Zakk himself.

Kerry King MG10KK Combo

Taking its inspiration from the recently released 2203KK head, the new MG10KK is possibly the coolest looking practice amp on the market. Used by thrash legend Kerry King himself to warm-up before unleashing hell with Slayer, this little ‘Beast’ lives up to the expectations that come with being a member of the award-winning MG Series family. Styled in the same manner as the 2203KK, Kerry’s tribal tattoo design spills over the blood red front panel which is furnished with jet black switches, jack sockets and control knobs. Squeezed into its small frame are two channels, Clean and Overdrive, both with separate volume controls. The Overdrive channel can be cranked up thanks to the Gain control to attain truly astonishing tone while the whole sound can be moulded to your liking with the Contour knob. The CD input allows you to rock along with the best of them and the Speaker Emulated Headphone socket leaves the rest of the house in peace while you thrash out some awesome riffs. Add into the mix an invaluable line-out and Marshall Amplification FDD technology, which simulates how an all-valve amplifier interacts with the loud speaker, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a mighty mini amp.

To complete this amazing package we have included an exclusive ‘Guitar Abuse’ DVD featuring Kerry King in the flesh. Learn all you need to know from the ‘Master of Metal’ as he guides you through the tips and techniques used to achieve his blistering fret work, brutal rhythm sections and crushing tones – all demonstrated using the MG10KK.
