1. INPUT jack

Use a good quality guitar (screened) 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’.

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 riffs.

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. CONTOUR control

This highly effective tone control works on both the Clean and Overdrive channels. By radically modifying the mid-range (body), the tone can range from traditional and woody sounding (setting at 10), to aggressive, ‘scooped’ and modern (setting at 0) and all points in-between.

7. CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT jack

The MG10CD cleverly combines its 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 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 MG10CD to your multi-track recording machine and you’ll get a great guitar sound direct to disk or tape.

HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely plug an unconnected jack plug to the headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the MG10CD’s internal speaker.

8. EMULATED HEADPHONES jack

Plug your headphones here for a killer speaker emulated sound! Doing this mutes your MG10CD's internal speaker for ‘silent’ practice.

9. POWER Switch & LED

The power switch turns your amplifier on and off. The LED will be lit when your amplifier is on and will not be lit when the amplifier is switched off.

Note: Before connecting to the mains electricity supply, always ensure that your electricity supply is compatible with your amplifier, as detailed on the rear panel.

Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged from the mains electricity supply before being moved.
