14. Digital FX LEVEL control

This controls how much of the chosen effect gets mixed in with your unaffected (dry) guitar tone. Want to hear more of the DFX you’ve just dialed in? Then simply turn this control up!

15.FDD (Frequency Dependent 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! To engage FDD simply press this switch in.

16. CD IN jack

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 you’ve got the perfect ‘play-along’ practice system.

HELPFUL HINT: for ‘silent’ recording merely plug an unconnected jack plug into the headphone socket and you’ll disconnect the MG30DFX’s internal speaker.

17.EMULATED LINE OUT & HEADPHONES jack

This jack can be used as either an Emulated Line Out or as a Headphone output. This means you can use this socket to connect your MG30DFX directly to your multi-track recording machine and you’ll get a great speaker emulated guitar sound direct to disk or tape. Alternatively you can plug your headphones in here for a killer speaker emulated sound! Using this jack automatically mutes your MG30DFX’s internal speaker allowing you to record or practice in ‘silence’. For this very reason, this jack will be your neighbour’s favourite feature on your MG30DFX – along with the Power Switch (18), of course!

18. 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.

Marshall Amplification has also integrated a headphone output into the MG30DFX, which allows for silent practice, making it perfect for late-night sessions without disturbing others.
