Marshall Amplification MG15 Series Overdrive Volume control, EQ Bass control, EQ Contour control

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 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.

9.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!

10.CD IN & EMULATED LINE OUT jack

The MG15’s 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 MG15 to your multi-track recording machine and you’ll get a great speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or tape.

HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely plug an unconnected jack plug into the headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the MG15’s internal speaker.

11. EMULATED HEADPHONES jack

Plug your headphones here for a killer speaker emulated sound! Doing this mutes your MG15’s internal speaker for ‘silent’ practice.

12. 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.

13.Reverb LEVEL control (MG15CDR only)

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!
