1. Input Jack
Plug your guitar in here.
2. Gain 1
Providing that Gain 2 Control is kept at zero, turning this up to around half way, i.e. around five can result in some great clean sounds. Turning this up past half way will result in your guitar crunching up, ideal for vintage blues or classic rock.
3. Gain 2
This takes off where Gain 1 finishes. Having both Gains off will result in no sound. Turning Gain 2 will result in a distorted tone straight away. Turning up this control even further will result in high gain sounds, ideal for contemporary styles. Cranking up both Gain 1 and Gain 2 will result in monster distortion.
4. Treble
The Treble control will add or take away the higher frequencies in your guitar tone.
5. Contour
The Contour control shifts the mid-range frequencies in your guitar tone. By turning the Contour control fully clockwise you will scoop out of your sound most of the middle frequencies, ideal for thrash tones if combined with high gain settings. By turning the control fully anti­clockwise you can get some great fusion type tones.
6. Bass
Turning the Bass control will effect the amount of low frequencies or bottom end in your tone.
7. Master
Volume Controls the overall volume of the amp.
8. Reverb Control
Adding Reverb to your guitar tone will add ambience and size, giving the effect of playing in a large empty room or hall.
9. Chorus On / Off
Switches stereo chorus facility on and off.
From Jim Marshall
I would like to thank you personally for selecting one of our Marshall MG Series guitar combos. Your new amplifier has been designed by the same team of British designers who created all of the great Marshall amps. It is built to the customary exacting Marshall standards and will give you an incredible spectrum of sounds to complement a wide range of playing styles, as well as being designed to stand the test of time.
The Marshall name has adorned many of Britain’s finest amps, from the early 1960’s through to the present day. Some of the original vintage amps have become highly sought after by both amp collectors and working guitarists alike.
This new line of transistor guitar and bass guitar combos have been released to unanimous acclaim. Your combo is part of a new breed of Marshall amplifier, which has benefited from years of experience and continual investment in research and development.
Not only is the sound quality of your Marshall MG Series amp of a standard that you would only expect to come from our own design team, the G215RCD features a stereo chorus facility which adds unbelievable spread and size to your sound. The Marshall G215RCD also has a CD input to allow you to play along to CD’s. The ultimate home practice facility.
I would like to wish you every success with your new Marshall MG Series amplifier, which I am sure you will find a pleasure to play for years to come.
Yours Sincerely,
