From Jim Marshall
I would like to personally thank you for selecting one of two 100 Watt models in my new MG range – the MG100DFX 1x12" Combo or the MG100HDFX Head.
As a musician myself, I fully understand what it takes to perform live in a band situation. In addition to talent, dedication and a lot of hard work, you also need equipment that will help you deliver the goods in each and every playing situation you find yourself in. 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 will deliver the tone you’re looking for at all volume levels – from quiet late night
practice to a full-blown live gig and all points in-between – in the way only a Marshall can.
Utilising groundbreaking new technologies, some of which were developed for our critically acclaimed AVT range, the new MG Series raises the standard for what can be expected from a value-for-money range of guitar amplifiers and defines a new benchmark. For example, the power amp section of your new combo boasts FDD (Frequency Dependent Damping) – a radical new feature that is exclusive to Marshall Amplification and accurately mimics the way our all-valve amplifiers interact with a loudspeaker. As a direct result of FDD, your new MG100DFX or MG100HDFX will give you a sound and feel never before thought possible in such an affordable, non-valve amp.
The DFX (Digital Effects) featured in both the MG100DFX Combo and MG100HDFX Head have been custom voiced by our in-house digital effects experts. Each one of the five effect types on offer (Chorus/Delay, Delay, Chorus, Flange and Reverb) have been designed to emulate the much sought after warmth and feel of analogue effects, but in a highly flexible digital format. Furthermore, a wide range of variations for each effect are quite literally at your fingertips – merely tweaking the three DFX controls (Preset/Adjust & FX Level controls for the Chorus/Delay, Delay, Chorus and Flange options; and a separate Level control for the Reverb) on the front panel, will give rise to sounds that range from subtle to radical, while always remaining both natural and musical.
Like all the amplifiers in the new MG range, state-of-the-art manufacturing and stringent quality control procedures ensure that these combos meet the high standard of build you have come to expect from all Marshall products. The MG100DFX and MG100HDFX were completely designed and engineered at my Headquarters in Milton Keynes, England.
Whether the MG100DFX or MG100HDFX is your first ever Marshall, or is the latest addition to your arsenal of amps, the tone, flexibility and feel of these compact, rugged units is guaranteed to deliver the goods – from bedroom to backstage to onstage!
I wish you every success with your new Marshall. Welcome to the family...
Yours Sincerely,
