1. Input Jack Socket
Jack input for your guitar. Use a good quality guitar
cable (i.e. one that’s screened/shielded) to help
prevent noise, interference and unwanted feedback.
2. Gain Control
Controls the amount of signal entering the pre-amp
and the amount of distortion created in the selected
channel.
From Jim Marshall
I would personally like to congratulate you on your purchase of this
next-generation Marshall MG15HCFX amplifier.
As a musician myself, I fully understand what it takes to successfully
achieve your goals and dreams. In addition to talent, dedication
and a lot of hard work, you also need equipment that does exactly
what you ask of it. Over the years I have witnessed many advances
in amplifier technology and I wanted this 15 Watt MG15HCFX head
to take full advantage of such innovations. To this end, this state-ofthe-art, solid-state amplifier had to meet the tonal expectations of
the modern guitarist whilst also incorporating new and exciting
digital technology in terms of both effects and memory. With this
goal firmly in mind, I set my experienced R&D team the task of
designing a new range of affordable MG amplifiers that would not
only produce the tone you’re looking for, but also offer an intuitive
and totally programmable way of customising, storing and
accessing your favourite Marshall tones and features.
Like all the amplifiers in the new MG range, state-of-the-art
manufacturing and stringent quality control procedures ensure that
your new MG15HCFX meets the high standard of build you have
come to expect from all Marshall products.
Whether this is your first ever Marshall, or is the latest addition to your
arsenal of amps, the tone, flexibility and feel of this compact, rugged
unit is guaranteed to deliver the goods – from bedroom to
backstage!
I wish you every success with your new Marshall MG15HCFX.
Welcome to the family...
Yours Sincerely,
Dr. Jim Marshall OBE
3. Clean/Crunch Switch
Selects between Clean (green) and Crunch (red)
channels.
4. Bass Control
Turning up the Bass control will add warmth and lowend depth to your sound.
5. OD-1/OD-2 Switch
Selects between OD-1 (green) and OD-2 (red)
channels.
6. Middle Control
Adjusting the middle frequencies will vary the amount
of body in your sound.
7. Treble Control
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 points in-between. Furthermore, there are two
distinctly different sounding reverb types for you to
choose from – Studio or Spring. Studio emulates the
sound of a studio plate reverb while, as expected,
Spring emulates the 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.
Holding down the Tap switch 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
Selects and adjusts one of five digital effects - Chorus,
Phaser, Flanger, Delay and Octave.
12. Store Switch
Stores the current amp settings into the current
channel or to recall with the optional footcontroller.
When in manual mode the Store button lights red.
13. Master Control
Controls the master volume of the amplifier.
14. MP3 Line In Socket
Jam to your favourite MP3, CD or tape track by
connecting the line out or headphone output of your
player here. Adjust the volume of your player to
match that of your guitar and you’ve got the perfect
‘play-along’ practice system.
15. Headphone Socket
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.
