Increasing the Treble will make your sounds brighter and more cutting,turning it down will decrease your tone’s edge and make it sound softer as a result.
8. Reverb Control
This control lets you add a lush digital reverb to the selected channel, from a subtle hint to cavernous and all pointsin-between. Furthermore, there are two distinctlydifferent sounding reverb types for you to choose from – Studio or Spring. Studio emulates the soundof a studio plate reverb while, as expected, Spring emulatesthe sound of a classic spring reverb unit.
9. Volume Control
Controls the volume of the selected channel.
10. Tap (Manual) Switch
Matches the delay FX time to the time between two pushes. The LED flashes at the selected delay time. Holdingdown the Tapswitch for longer than 2 seconds switches the amp between manual and preset mode (pg 2). When using the optional footcontroller, holding both the Tap switch and the Store switch will activate the tuner.
11. FX Control

For use when silent practice is the order of the day. Connection of headphones will automatically mute the internal speaker.
16. Power Switch
The power switch turns your amplifier on and off. A channel switch will light up when your amplifier is turned on and none will be lit when the amplifier is switched off.
Note: The specific mains input voltage rating that your amplifier has been built for is shown on the back panel. Before connecting to the mains electricity supply, always ensure that your amplifier is compatible with your electricity supply. If you have any doubt, please get advice from a qualified technician. Your Marshall dealer will help you in this respect.
Please ensure the amplifier is switched off and unplugged from the mains electricity supply before being moved.
