From Jim Marshall

I would like to thank you personally for selecting the new 10 Watt MG10KK Kerry King combo.

During the development of the JCM800 2203KK, Kerry's signature Marshall Head, he often mentioned his use of the MG10CD, one always on tour with him and one always kept at home. With this in mind I decided that we would extend our thanks and produce an MG10KK, a special edition MG10CD echoing the design of the 2203KK.

The MG Series raises the standard for what can be expected from a value-for-money range of guitar amplifiers, some might dismiss the MG10KK as only being 10 Watts, but not me, its 10 Watts of tone that delivers the Marshall sound and as we've seen strong enough to take the knocks of a world tour or two.

Kerry worked with my graphics team and hand picked the final design. The classic gold Marshall panel has been stained red while its black knobs and tribal tattoo design are in stark contrast to its bold white text. The result is an amp that in Kerry's words truly has been 'reigned in blood'

Both Kerry and I believe that effort and dedication fuel our lives and to help guide you on your own way alongside this combo and handbook you'll find an exclusive DVD featuring a lesson from Kerry himself. The MG10KK is a versatile amp, perfect for someone just taking their first steps as

a guitarist, as an ideal companion for warming up at gigs or for just being there for when inspiration hits, this combo is ready and waiting.

Whichever path you're on I would like to wish you every success with your new amplifier and welcome you to the ever increasing Marshall family.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Jim Marshall OBE

MG10KK specifications

Marshall Amplification has long been a stalwart in the world of guitar amplification, synonymous with powerful sound and iconic designs. The Marshall MG10KK, a member of the MG series, is a compact, user-friendly practice amplifier designed for both beginners and experienced guitarists looking for convenient, portable sound options.

One of the standout features of the MG10KK is its impressive 10-watt output, which, while modest, is perfectly suited for bedroom practice or small jam sessions. The amplifier is equipped with a custom-designed 6.5-inch speaker, providing a well-rounded sound that encompasses the rich tones and harmonics guitarists expect from Marshall products.

The MG10KK features two channels: Clean and Overdrive. This dual-channel design allows players to switch between a clean sound and a more aggressive, distorted tone seamlessly, catering to various musical styles from classic rock to heavy metal. The Overdrive channel is particularly noteworthy, delivering a punchy gain that remains articulate even when pushed to higher levels, ensuring solos and riffs cut through the mix.

In terms of tone shaping, the MG10KK includes a 3-band EQ comprising bass, mid, and treble controls. This allows players to fine-tune their sound to match their style or the genre they are working with. The EQ is responsive, enabling users to create everything from lush, warm cleans to sharp, punchy overdrives with just a few adjustments.

A distinct characteristic of the MG10KK is its onboard digital effects, which include reverb, chorus, and delay. These effects enhance the sound, adding depth and dimension to the overall tone. The ability to incorporate effects without needing additional pedals makes it an attractive option for players seeking simplicity in their rig.

Portability is another key aspect of the MG10KK. With its lightweight design and compact size, it can easily be transported or stored, making it ideal for practice on the go. Additionally, the amplifier includes an auxiliary input, allowing users to connect their devices and jam along with their favorite tracks or backing tracks for practice.

Overall, the Marshall MG10KK represents a blend of classic Marshall tone and modern convenience. Whether you're a beginner honing your skills or an experienced musician seeking a reliable practice amp, the MG10KK delivers impressive sound quality, ease of use, and the legendary Marshall reliability. It embodies the essence of what makes Marshall a go-to choice for guitarists around the globe, ensuring that players can enjoy their music anywhere, any time.
