Marshall Amplification MG50FX, MG100HFX manual MG15FX & MG30FX Overview, Keep These Instructions

Tap Tempo

The Tap Tempo switch (10) is used for the Delay effect only.

The Tap Tempo switch matches the delay time to the time between two presses.

The Tap Tempo LED flashes red at the selected/recalled delay time.

The number of repeats is reduced as the delay time decreases.

If you change from a channel with delay to one without delay the effect will spill between channels.

If you change from a channel with delay to a channel with delay set to a different delay time the delay effect will not spill between channels.

MP3 / Line In

The 3.5mm MP3 / Line In socket (14) allows the connection of an external audio source e.g. MP3 or CD player.

Headphones

The 3.5mm Headphones socket (16) allows the connection of a pair of headphones. When a jack is inserted into the headphones socket the unit’s speaker is muted.

Power

The Power switch (17) turns the amplifier on and off. If current settings have not been stored they will be lost.

FX Off

Speed increases and depth is reduced as knob is turned clockwise.

Speed increases as knob is turned clockwise.

Speed increases, feedback and depth are reduced as knob is turned clockwise. Delay level is increased as knob turned clockwise.

0 Chorus Phaser Flanger Delay

When channel settings have been stored the current channel light (3 or 5) will stop flashing indicating the preset has been saved.

Reverb & FX

The amplifier provides two simultaneous effects, Reverb and one of four FXs (Chorus, Phaser, Flanger or Delay)

Reverb

The Reverb control (8) sets the amount of signal sent to the reverb section - allowing the reverb to spill between channels as different presets are recalled. When the Reverb control (8) is set to ‘0’ the reverb is switched off, the status of the reverb is also indicated on the optional footcontroller.

FX

The FX control is split into four segments and selects the type of FX and adjusts its associated settings. When the FX control is set to ‘0’ the FX are switched off, the status of the FX is also indicated on the optional footcontroller.

MG15FX & MG30FX Overview

Channel Selection

The amplifier has 4 channels - Clean, Crunch, OD1 & OD2.

Pressing the Clean/Crunch switch (3) selects between the Clean (Green Light) and Crunch (Red Light) channels.

Pressing the OD switch (5) selects between the OD1 (Green Light) and OD2 (Red Light) channels.

When moving from an OD channel to a Clean/Crunch channel, the unit remembers the last channel you were in before leaving. E.g. If you have moved from the Crunch Channel to an OD channel and you press the Clean/Crunch switch (3), the amplifier will revert back to the Crunch channel - rather than starting again in the Clean channel.

Modes

The amplifier operates in two modes - Preset and

Manual.

To change between these two modes, you must hold the Tap switch (10) down for at least two seconds. When in manual mode the Store switch (12) lights red and the selected channel light (3 or 5) will start to flash. The amplifier will remember the last mode it was in after power off and revert to it the next time it is powered on.

Preset

This is the factory default operation of the amplifier. In Preset mode the position of all controls except Master Volume (13) are stored within each channel. Each channel should be considered a preset. Selecting a channel automatically recalls the settings stored within the channel. Note: The physical position of the front panel controls, except Master Volume (13) which is not storable, will now not match the actual settings of the amplifier. All front panel switches will automatically update.

Altering a control will cause the associated parameter to jump to the current physical position of that control. When a control is altered the selected channel light (3 or 5) will start to flash indicating that the current preset has been altered.

Restoring Settings - WARNING ALL AMP &

FOOTCONTROLLER SETTINGS WILL BE LOST To restore the unit to factory settings (see handbook rear cover) you must hold the Store switch (12) while powering on the unit. The Clean/Crunch (3) and OD (5) lights will light orange. You can then release the Store switch (12).

Resetting the amplifier will erase all user Channel presets and all user Footcontroller settings, replacing them with the factory presets.
